Personal Narrative: Key Club

Having a learner’s heart means being open to improving on the skills one already has or being humble enough to acknowledge that they do not know everything. The is a heavy burden in believe that you have come your final opinion or knowledge on anything. The course text book has brought up the need for being a lifelong learner a few times and I believe it is a skill that all people should refine and take up. The encouragement to being a lifelong learned supplement by the tools provided by the course text have been beneficial to be understanding and practice. Some of the tools the course text lists include making time to learn, meeting new people, and going online. Since reading this book, I have tried to implement at least these three things. Making time to learn have been one of the biggest ones. I have also allowed myself to ask questions. Being in college accompanied with being a first-generation college student, I have felt the need to just know things. My family’s assumption about my education has impacted me; several of them assume that college has taught me everything and I am afraid to seem like I do not know things. The education they help me pay for needs to be shown to them through my knowledge. There is a freedom in being able to say “I don’t know, but I’ll try and find out”. I know my family is excited about my education and does not understand exactly what my education and knowledge entails. Being a learner means I do not have to know everything and I can continue to learn from all circumstances and anyone who is willing to teach

Using my high energy and natural encourager abilities I have risen to top levels of leadership in several organizations. I have been privileged to represented them at the local and state, regional and national level. It is rewarding as well as educational. I soon learned people volunteer for many different reasons. To accomplish our goals, it was important to make sure each volunteer felt valuable. Understanding the different personalities and communication styles was a challenge I accepted with gusto. I have read many personal development books, attended seminars, and have even had the pleasure of sharing the same stage with some highly regarded professional speakers.

A club that I had always wanted to be apart of since my freshman year of highschool was The Beta Club.

Throughout the conversation, Susan did not inform me that the home was still in First Look and not open to investors at this time. Susan did not highlight any features of the home, nor did she talk about the neighborhood or the surrounding area. When asked, Susan paused to reference the property file and stated, "In looking at the pictures it appears that it needs interior paint, carpet, appliances, and a few windows, which the previous seller must have taken." She stated, "I don't know why they have to remove things from the homes." I asked, "Do you have offers?" She paused to check the property file and answered, "No offers." I asked, "Is the property behind the home farmland?" She paused to reference the property file and replied, "It appears

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

As a proud Wildcat, I was involved in a myriad of activities. In my local Key Club, I donated over 300 hours of my time to activities such as cancer fundraisers, senior citizen happiness, help to local police and fire departments, set-up classrooms and help teachers throughout the year. As I moved up the leadership ladder as President, I was able to create events specially designated towards improving the community, then as International Key Club Texas-Oklahoma Treasurer I shared, organized and was able to communicate with over 300 club’s budgets and dues to create more service opportunities dedicated to helping local causes. In my local girl scout troop as an ambassador, I found that many young girl orphans located in southern India did not

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

Just so you know, this is the Big Apple and I rule this town. New York City is filled with tall buildings, great culture, and historical sites. No other city has so much beauty that it takes your breath away; yet, there is a real danger that lurks on the streets. I should know because I am Detective Michael Morgan a United States Super Spy in charge of capturing dastardly villains who are set on destroying our world. Armed with mind-altering powers, Alex Higgins is on the top of the FBI’s list of the ten most wanted men in America. This thug is one of the greatest danger to our world and must be captured and jailed in the vault of death. There is no place safe for him to hide from the law and rumor has it, he is in my town. You break the law here in New York City, you pay the ultimate price: freedom.

I like to beat the rush for lines and do not prefer being late, but

Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.

As I was growing up, I naturally looked for ways to help my community. It was an concept that I was extremely fond and passionate about at an early age. Through this, leadership came easily and almost inherently. When high school came I emerged myself within the wide variety of activities. It was just an effortless tendency. I loved being involved, therefore I got myself involved. As a freshmen, I was at the bottom and I watched in amazement of how the upperclassmen led with such confidence and drive. I aspired to be like them one day. With this large desire to make my mark in my small community, I naturally took on leadership roles because I wanted to make an impact, a lasting impact. John Quincy Adams once said, “If your actions inspire others

I challenge myself academically with honors and AP courses. I have a passion for learning and I take great pride in my studies. With the help of family and many great teachers I discovered lifelong learning is a process that requires discipline, commitment and persistent curiosity. I’m all-in when engaging with my teachers and classmates because I know contributing during class tests my critical thinking skills and deepens my comprehension.

During one volunteer service dating back to when I was a freshman in high school, and still participate in today, was by working together with other parishioners from my church to help set up the St. Jude’s Sweet Corn Festival. We all worked together to make sure every fence, every booth, and every pole were safe and sturdy to ensure that people would have a good time. I later volunteered again multiple times during the festival to serve the people by offering food and beverages to those that were hungry during the festival. Again, this trait shows the importance of a good leader by being able to work together with his or her peers to ensure that everything according to the task at hand can and will go

I love living in a small town, it gives me a sense of guaranteed safety and simplicity.
