Personal Narrative: Key Club And My Community Service

To begin, being a member of the Sauk Rapids Dance Team has taught me numerous life skills which also includes working as a team to reach a common goal. I will take this skill with me to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls to accomplish whatever tasks needed with a group. I also will influence others with this particular skill and hopefully reach out to fellow classmates, working together towards whatever goal is set. Dance has let me show my artistic and creative side for the past 16 years. I now see life through a new light and look at the simpler sides of what life has to offer. I believe I am optimistic and have the ability to find the good in any situation.

I have been a member of the Olivet Boys and Girls Club for nine years; starting at nine. Throughout those years, they have taught me the many things that I put into play today. Spending most, if not all of my time at the Olivet’s, I tend to call it my second home. My mother used to always yell at me for not being home all the time. I just loved being there all the time. Through all the support of the Olivet family, I have been able to overcome many obstacles. For example, many may think that because of my height I would have picked basketball as my go to sport; however, that was not the case at all. Luckily, I had a unit director who would not take no for an answer and kept pushing me.

Many people do community service, in and out of school. However, many haven't had the event opportunities I've had in the past. For this reason I am grateful for being a member of Key Club. Through my Key Club experience I have been able to assist families who have had to dealt with cancer and abuse. In the month of October alone, I have been able to to attend two walks for cancer. The first walk I attended was the Annual Believe Walk, hosted at Redlands. Waking up at 4:30am and volunteering with such an amazing organization might have been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had the pleasure to experience. The second was the Light the Night Leukemia and Lymphoma Walk, hosted at Fontana. Attending this walk was a different experience

These past four years of Key Club have taught me many things. I’ve gained an appreciation for service and understood its impacts, as well as gained responsibility and leadership skills as President. Key Club is one of two clubs I’ve stuck around throughout my entire high school experience. The reason being that it has allowed me to improve myself while helping others improve themselves

Another organization I became apart of during eighth grade was the National Junior Hhonors Society, or NJHS for short. When I first received the application for NJHS, I felt really stoked and nervous about completing the requirements to get in. The requirements included me to complete an essay, a list all of my accomplishments, and a list all of the clubs/organizations I participated in. was apart. Then, the day to receive the acceptance letters arrived, and Ii was very anxious to find out if I made it in or not. After school that day, I finally had got a chance to read the letter. As my friends watched me jump around the classroom yelling, “I got in, I got in!,”, I was feeling so much joy and happiness. After feeling so worried the whole day,

My high school served as a significant helping hand pouring out volunteer opportunities. The student council organization was where it began for me. As a student within student council, I had to accumulate an amount of volunteer hours each year. We truly proud ourselves with our record of service hours, therefore it was mandatory to maintain our position.To gain my volunteer hours, I regulary participated in the Merrick Food Shelter.

It is sad to say that my time in Key Club International has come to an end. All the memories of countless volunteering, of meeting people from all over the Pacific Northwest District, and of being on the District Board, I believe it’s safe to say my Key Club journey has been an unparalleled experience. Key Club brought me a sense of fulfillment, that strove me to break down the barriers I once had. The feeling of getting involved in my community and meeting servant leaders all over the world made me realize the purpose of this organization, which is to serve our community and to better our future.

In High school, I was in the organization called Key Club for four years. Our goal in Key Club is to help the less privileged as much as we can. Accordingly, members of Key Club would meet every Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. When we would meet, we did things that contributed to the community. For example, one time we wrote thank you letters to people in the military who were overseas. Doing this showed them that we cared and that we appreciate them for risking their lives for us. Another thing we did was to go around neighborhoods to collect can foods for the homeless. As a result of the experienced I gained from Key club, it has influenced me to explore different organization at Virginia Commonwealth University. For instance, I am in

I joined the Make a Difference club on September 2016,where I completed my community service. I completed a total of 37.5 hours in the club.

As a new eighth grader I joined track and field to meet people at a new school. Those friends helped me carry into highschool spreading my wings a little more. First, I joined the One Act Play as a crew member to make stage props and do stage makeup during freshman year. Thankfully, that helped me earn an All Conference Academic Team Award, I lettered, Honorable Mention, and Spotlight on Scholarship.

In the beginning, I went to the center to take the blue teams flag. I decided to change my team to the red side. I made sure the blue side wouldn't win. I saw a guy named 05Ninja05.

One way I have helped my community was I helped joined my friends dad on a bike tour, it was part of church. We had made sandwiches the night before, so in the morning we would have been ready to leave. At the time, My friend and I as well as others who lived in the same building were up early around 9am to 10am, to pack up the sandwiches and water bottles into the duffle bag. we then rode our bikes in a group of five people. We went as far as to balboa park and back. We fed as many homeless people as we could have. With a few homeless people that were sleeping, we will gently wake them up or sometimes we would just leave the food beside them and continued on our journey. I was inspired to act upon this because to me, it instantly felt good

My catalyst for volunteering was giving back to my community which helped me through tough times and by strong ties connects me to my heritage. I immigrated to Canada from Israel, though my parents came from the Soviet Union. Growing up in Toronto, an organization named the Jewish (Russian) Community Centre (JRCC/JCC) reached out to my family. They supported us with funds during difficult times. Furthermore, I spent the majority of my childhood either at their kindergarten or summer camp. Seeing how they assisted families in need, inspired me to devote my time into helping them accomplish their mission statement.

I am a part of Time to Revive, which came from Dallas in 2015 to my home city of Fort Wayne, Indiana. We were taught and equipped to go out into the community and share the Gospel in such a way that made it easy for anyone to do it. Several are still doing this every week from different churches. We gather, worship, train, eat, pray, and go out into our community to pray with, and share the Gospel. We have seen many healings, salvations, and several being baptized in the Holy Spirit.

As a freshmen, I was never really involved in Key Club until after I attended my first Divisional Event. After going to my first DCM, I immediately knew that I wanted to get more involved into Key Club because I believe that its more than just a Club for service. It's a club that builds leadership, friendship, and commitment. This year, I had the opportunity to attend Seattle Rally, a district wide event that was an amazing experience that I was able to learn so many new things from the different workshops that I went to. At Seattle Rally, I was able to meet so many LtG around our district and really get to know what our district was like. I never knew how large our district was or how passionate everybody was about the Key Club cheer. Having
