For the past 5 years I have been volunteering at the yearly Robin Cone Memorial Classic Gymnastics Meet. I have been a time keeper for some of the different events because the gymnastics only have a certain amount of time to warm up and also some of the events have a time limit. I have also helped unwrap and prepare the medals and awards for the gymnasts as well as helped in the hospitality area which contains food and snacks for the coaches, judges, and volunteers. I helped restock the drinks and ice as well as the snacks. The Robin Cone Gymnastics Meet is in honor of Robin Cone, a guidance counselor at JP Steven who died of breast cancer and also to raise money and awareness for breast cancer treatment and research. Over the past 5 years I have given about 46 hours of my time to this cause.

While volunteering at Discovery Challenger I have exclusively worked with a blind man named Geno. My service to the Discovery Challenger Program has positively affected the community in that the athletes that required a helper were able to have me as one despite the limited number of volunteers who helped the athletes. Another community service I committed myself to while in high school was the club Life is Delicious. Life is Delicious is a club that between two and three times Year members of the club cook a warm meal at the high school, and then some go to the St. Vincent DePaul Homeless Shelter in Waterbury. At the end of my sophomore year I was named Co-President of the club. As a member of the club I went to all of the cooking and serving activities and was able to help the homeless of Waterbury by giving them a warm meal. The most impactful service I performed in my opinion was during my junior year when I was the organizer for the Penguin Plunge. During my junior year I thought that it would be a good idea for the basketball team to do the Penguin Plunge in order to raise money for Special Olympics Connecticut as I had done so in the previous two years. So, I approached the athletic director

In 1992, not long after retiring, Dick walked down the road to visit the estate and returned home as a volunteer. “I came upon volunteering on accident,” he recalled. Dick devoted about 500 hours of his time each year until 2002 when he relieved Jack Evans as the Volunteer Manager. As he approached Evans’s record for the most hours volunteered, Dick was unsure if he wanted to unseat Evans. He cut back his volunteer time to avoid surpassing Evans, but Dick decided to beat the record because “I wasn’t ready to be done,” he admitted.

Paul knew the importance of this meeting. He had already been in this before more than once maybe twice. As he sat in complete silence, his last encounter with Principal Sweet played in his mind over and over again.

Analysis of "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather In Willa Cather’s short story “Paul’s Case,” Paul, the main character, lives in a world that he feels trapped in. As soon as Paul gets expelled from school and banned from the places in his life that fill him with joy, Paul decides to escape the life he lives in any way possible. Willa Cather’s use of figurative language and characterization provides a stark portrayal of the hopelessness stemming from feeling trapped in an oppressive life. The figurative language that the author uses to describe Paul’s gradual loss of hope of ever escaping his trap, Cordelia Street, provides an example of how life can trap and how it can destroy hope. One night, upon completion of his work as an usher at Carnegie Hall, Paul follows a singer to her

Luis has been one of the best students in my 16 year career and possibly in the whole history of Irving High School. He is truly one of the finest examples of a well-rounded student that any teacher can ever encounter. As his AP Statistics and AP Calculus BC teacher, I been able to see multiple examples of Luis’s talents and abilities. Even up to this day, Luis does not stop surprising me with his diligence and persistence. Although I’m only his math teacher, I know that Luis has been a highly successful student throughout his high school career in a wide arrange of subjects. From either math, to science, to art, to English, Luis has always risen to the top of the class and performed his best in every activity and test given to him. Luis is one of those few

Being a CLP Fellow would allow me the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals that desire to enhance their leadership experience throughout their four years at TCU as well as provide me a greater chance to enhance myself in leadership roles in a program known to be beneficial to its members. Having already attended multiple leadership events on campus such as the Vice Chancellor’s First-Year Dinner and the First-Year Men’s Leadership Dinner, as well as being encouraged by its attendees to apply for this fellowship, I understand the type of beneficial influence such a program would have on me. It is my hope that during my time on campus, I will be able to foster in myself and in others an initiative to lead and bring forth yet another generation of innovators that can improve society. The individual programs included during the fellowship program excite me in a way that tells me that there is much to be learned and experienced through them. I hope to be a leader that can represent TCU and its ideals of fostering ethical leaders immersed in the global community.

I have upwards of 2,500 hours of service dedicated to the Detroit Boat Club. Activities include Boat Club restoration due to the fact that it is the oldest standing boat club in America, a historical landmark, and the structure is crumbling from the ground up. Many afternoons have been spent setting up safety tape to avoid injury of those who pass by it and attending to the problem, in which I would help remove materials and bring in new materials for construction. Another activity was Belle Isle cleanup, the State Park the club is located on, where I would go around picking up trash around the island as well as attending to the overgrown shrubbery surrounding the gosling habitats. Also during the summer I would regularly help teach learn-to-row programs along with the coaches to instill the best form and work ethic in the novice individuals looking to join the varsity high school rowing teams. Furthermore, I would volunteer for about an hour every other saturday or so to teach the indoor rowing classes to any and all ages

As an introvert, I never believed that leadership would be my cup of tea. Quiet, observant, soft-spoken. Those are not the traits of a leader...or so I thought. Then, I journeyed to Europe for 20 days with People to People to become a Student Ambassador. Meeting a Parliament member in England and representing The United States of America to a group of German students opened my eyes to the world of leadership and showed me how capable of leading I truly was. Entering my sophomore year of high school, I was selected to be a National Honor Society Member, the Vice President of the Beta Club, and a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society. While all of the leadership positions I’ve experienced have been extraordinary and eye opening, the most significant

Most students seek to define themselves in the positions they gain, whether it is being president of a certain club or captain of a sports team, but Travis is unique in that he sees leadership differently. He thinks that the best leaders are those who are a part of their followers. He doesn’t lead by being at the head of a crowd. He leads by walking with them, sometimes lingering at the back to make sure everyone makes it. He is truly a man of the people. I have experienced this firsthand. I am one of those typical high achievers. I have so many positions that it requires two hands to count them all, but I frequently find that Travis does a far better job in leading. I am the student representative for the Governor’s School students at FCHS and it is my responsibility to keep everyone informed of events and bring any issues the students have to administration. It is my job to help students wherever possible, yet I find that most student seek help and advice from Travis. And I understand why. Travis makes everyone around him comfortable. He will go out of his way to be a helping-hand, a confidant, a friend. He is incredibly trustworthy, loyal, and kind. Travis is the kind of person who brings everyone up with

Paul was a natural athlete and the tall (6'3"), high school fullback had no trouble earning a scholarship to Rutgers University in 1915 at age 17 becoming only the third member of his race to be admitted at the time. He excelled in football, baseball, basketball, and track and field, graduating as a four-letter man. He was also member of a Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year and was a selected member of their honorary society, Cap and Skull. How over, he was the class valedictorian and in his speech was already preaching idealism.

At Bethlehem Lutheran Grade School, the students were separated into two groups; the jocks and the bookworms. Almost immediately when Steve started school, he was in both groups, which wasn’t very common. Steve was extremely smart. He was an excellent mathematician, though he lacked a few skills in language arts. In fact, he was always the first out in hi school spelling bees. But math, that was his forte. In high school, Steve had a professor named Mr. Swartzendruber, who was very strict but still incredibly nice. Steve did so well in his class that Mr. Swartzendruber gave Steve an A+. Before Steve, Mr. Swartzendruber had never given out an A+. Steve was also very athletic, participating in many sports, such as baseball, football, sledding,
