NJHS President Reflection

Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.

Throughout my school years, I have always tried to be a positive role model for younger students as well as my peers. This year I decided that the best way to serve my school was to participate in our school’s Student Leadership Council. It has proven to be a fantastic decision for me. I succeeded in getting the most votes out of all of the candidates and have had a great experience taking a leadership role in my school. I feel like I have become a much better leader and role model because of Student Leadership Council. I have been really fortunate to be exposed to the Jeter’s Leaders program, since they come to our school to mentor us as SLC members. It has been an incredible experience, and I would really love to continue with it. As an eighth grader at Saint Augustine, we are required to mentor our younger students. I

I voiced the opinions of many students in my class and took charge of some of our events like semi formal projects. I enjoyed it so much so, I ran to become the treasurer of my junior class. Though I had not won, I still take part in student council. I also joined Jewish Student Union as recommended by my friend and felt it to be an amzing way to get involved with my religion and learn more, later taking on an officer position. To challenge myself I applied for Hispanic Honor Society in which students had to write an essay and remember an induction speech. It all worked out, as I had made it in and tutor students. Also I particpated in my first high school sport, Girls Bowling. After my first practice I improve exponential to the point in which I was part of the varsity team, cheering on the

Despite it being middle school, my leadership of the first ever NJHS at Sparta Middle School, taught me valuable things about leading and being part of a club with such prestige. As the inaugural chapter of the society, we ran the student-faculty basketball game, baked cookies for Project Self-Sufficiency, and collected food and then visited a local food bank. I learned how much a group of students could impact the community with their actions, something I had previously thought impossible. I will draw from those experiences when presenting my opinion on new service projects and will also try to introduce successful techniques that I used back during my time spent as President of

I am the founder and president of the SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Chapter at my school, and I've helped create SADD chapters at other middle and high schools in multiple school districts. Currently, there are about 40 students in my SADD chapter. I started my SADD group my freshman year, so I have been involved with my SADD group for almost three years now.

First and foremost, thank you for being here in support of the student government association. I want to thank our amazing dean Edina for encouraging me to run for vice president of SGA. Many people have asked me why I am running for vice president. Would you ask a fifth grader if he is going to go to the 6th grade? No right because they have to keep going to the next level. Ever since I came to the University of Bridgeport, I constantly looked for ways to become more involved and to keep having an impact in the university. Every year, here at the University of Bridgeport I am involved in something new. Whether it's being an OL, President of a Club or even starting a chapter/club which is known as the food recovery network, with the help of my peers. The food recovery network have recovered more than 300 pounds of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.

My involvement at Texas Tech University falls heavy in the Student Government Association. As a freshman, I served as president of the Freshman Council. During my time in Freshman Council, me and 30 other freshman raised over $1,000 to be awarded to student organizations. In spring of my freshman year, I was elected to serve as an At-Large Senator for 2016-2017. I was also appointed to serve as the chair of the Intergovernmental Committee. In these positions I was able to write recognition and appreciation of service legislation for Jodey Arrington, Randy Neugebauer, and TTUPD and LPD. Just recently, I was re-elected to serve as an At-Large Senator for 2017-2018. In this role, I will also serve as President Pro Temp of the Student Senate and

In ninth grade, I joined the Animal Rights Club (ARC) because I wanted to help animals but, as the years went by, I realized many members quit. Through my experience in ARC, members started to quit because the student body did not approve of ARC since not all members were vegan. Therefore I decided to run for president to assure the members that ARC is for all animal lovers and inform the student body that this is an inclusive

Like Jerral, I grew up with parents who were small business owners. My parents taught me good work ethics and helped me become a well-rounded individual. In high school, I was elected head of the prom committee, and also voted class president. My goals during my time in each position where to make a healthy difference in my school. While being a school leader was certainly rewarding, I did not realize how over exerted I was.

Currently many juniors at Leroy Greene Academy have been asking for a unforgettable senior year with little fundraising in freshman and sophomore year the pressure to earn money as a senior class are high. I plan to bring new ideas to the drawing board but not as a classmate attending weekly meeting but as president in order to assure that the ideas we come up with aren’t just on a list of to do’s. I am running for Class President with the knowledge of how much stress comes with it, as I have served as a Treasurer and Vice president of Venture Crew 580 a co-ed scouting community. Similar to class president, I have worked with bringing new ideas to the table and a plan to execute them. Although junior year was memorable, I have high hopes of

The current situation that has perplexed me at this very moment in my young life does not pertain the trite subjects that saturate that inner workings of teenage brains like dating, obtaining the most likes on social media, attending the most parties, etc., yet the idea that captivates my attention is the impregnable desire to keep our world alive and filled with happiness for all. As mentioned, my past experience in leadership and community service has cultivated my passion to make the world a better place, but my extracurricular activities in-school and outside of school have also shaped this passion. As mentioned, I served as Vice President (7th Grade) and President (8th Grade) of No Place for Hate at my middle school. One of my most memorable

Since I was a small kid, I have always been involved in extra-curricular activities, volunteering activities and sports. I have taken part in many national level and international level leadership competitions and won some of them. I have had a year of experience on becoming the vice-president of the student council in my school. Currently, I am a proud member of the National Honor Society. I believe that committing to the society is the main goal for your life and that is why you work for.

As a freshman in the Honors College, I immediately wanted to get involved in the Academic Honors Association so I joined. I have attended as many meetings as my schedule allowed and have had fun at our events especially our "Pre-Finals Fun Day." I was born a leader and while in high school I was the president of two clubs and one of the captains of our water polo team so why not continue that in college. I want to continue that in our club so I've decided to run for Steering Committee Representative so our grievances are heard by the Honors College and hopefully they can act on them.

Since I was a little kid, I have always wanted to give back to the community that has given me and my family so much. Throughout my whole childhood I have always had the question in my head, how could I actually help and make a difference in my community? I always knew that I wanted to do something that would make the community in which I live in a better one, but I never seemed to put in the time and effort that is necessary to really make a difference. When I entered high school and things started to get much more serious for me, I knew it was time to turn my thoughts into actions. During the middle of my freshman year, I started to search for something or someone that could help me turn the many hopes I had into actions. Although the various clubs in MCDS are all amazing and unique in their own ways, I never felt the urge to spend countless numbers of hours trying to become the president of any given

In my senior year, I was elected to be the sectional leader for a debate club in my school. Being a sectional leader, I shouldered huge responsibilities such as planning the course, keeping track of the students’ progress and analyzing their arguments for feedback. Furthermore, to maintain record attendance, I generated creative topics to garner excitement and alacrity in participation.
