Personal Narrative: My Goal As A FBLA Officer

Most people are all grown up when they finally figure out what they want to do with their life. I was 4. I realized what I wanted to be when I attended my very first Rodeo. Even though it was so long ago I can remember that day like it was yesturday. That day got me on the path to my future.

This fall is my first semester at “Cougar Nation”. I previously attended Saint Xavier University in Chicago, where I held several leadership roles. At the beginning of my sophomore year (August 2014) I resurrected an inactive organization on campus called the African American Studies Diaspora Club. The organization’s mission is to encourage and celebrate the gift of knowledge, power, and unity existing throughout SXU’s diaspora of African American students. Under my leadership, the AASDC became the premier Black organization on SXU’s campus as well as an excellent service to the Chicago community. My work within the organization allowed me to be blessed with several related opportunities of service to the SXU community. I was dedicated

Through the duration of this course some of my opinions on civic issues have changed and some have stayed the same. An opinion of mine that has changed is the number of flaws in our education system. This is an important civic issue because the education of young people is deciding the future of this world. This is politically significant because this generation will grow up to be a part of politics whether running for a role in the federal, provincial, or municipal parliamentary or simply voting in an election.

Changing who you are right now into who you want to be in the future is hard to comprehend. Especially as a high school student, our careers may still be uncertain. It’s undeniable though, that a big part of who you want to be is shaped by being in FBLA. Just being here at the state conference is evidence of the impact. Hello Illinois FBLA! I’m Neha Arun, and I’m running to be your FBLA state secretary. What comes to your mind when I say FBLA? Is it the conferences or the competitive events? Do you ever think about the business aspect of FBLA? The Business Leader part of FBLA often gets lost in the acronym. However, becoming who you want to be in the future is shaped by your business skills. What you learn by forming business partnerships will help you throughout your life, no matter

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

In high school, I had a very positive experience throughout, but perhaps the most memorable experience would come from my involvement with the FFA. I remember the Ag classes was unlike any other classes on campus because we would go to the school farm to learn from hands-on experiences. My teacher Mrs. Keverline would become more than just a teacher for me she would become a role model. Mrs. Keverline would help me improve with showing pigs as my SAE project, she teaches me about the importance of agriculture, and lastly, she helps made me into the public speaker that I am today. In FFA I had the opportunity to do public speaking competition or event and at the time I was scared to do them, but glad I did because it helps me out in the long.

FBLA is a very important organization to Otterville High School. We have 67 members out of the 77 kids in the High School. FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America. They are divided into schools, districts, states, then countries. We have schools from all of the United State like Puerto Rico, Florida, California, New York, and even some people come from China. All of these schools come and meet at the National FBLA Conference (NLC) in the determined city. Some of the activities that are included Executive Leadership Conference (ELC) , National Fall Leadership Conference (NFLC), District Leadership Conference (DLC), State Leadership Conference (SLC) and National Leadership Conference (NLC). All these conferences you attend have workshops, opening sessions, closing sessions, and some of them even have dances. The question everyone want to know is what can you gain from FBLA? You can earn scholarships, new experiences, and it always looks nice on a job application when you were involved in a business organization. The Missouri FBLA is actually pretty amazing. They are always there to help you when you need to know whether you can compete in something or not.

The FBLA Chapter would be my most important activity because I have founded this club at my school. During my 4 years in high school, we have never had a business club so I decided it was time we did. FBLA appealed to me because with quarter million students worldwide and being established in 1937, it the largest and oldest official student run business club. Since then it has offered me career preparation opportunities through conferences, and networking with businesses and community leaders which is everything I ever wanted in a club in MCI.

Living in Chicago in the 21st century is not a necessarily easy thing. Everyday, I live with the fear that a loved one of mines could be taken away from me at any moment. Or the fact that my life could be taken away just from walking out of my front door. I dream of going to college and making something of myself. Often, other students tell me I can not achieve my dreams because I am an African American student. I pushed and struggle so hard to prove these students wrong. Because I am African American, many people view me as just a number. And that number is 33.1%; which is the college graduation rate for Black males. I would like to be one of the many people that will increase this percent. Recently, I was given the opportunity to take part

Im proud to have things that I have now,Without my generation there would be no freedom,without freedom our lives would be miserable and torn apart.Im glad our veterans fought for our country, they risked their lives for our country to stay in peace.If we didn't fight we would be controlled And be told what job to have ,how many kids we can have or they will tell us where we live.Veterans did anything they could to defeat our enemies,They never gave up ,they never stopped they kept on going until it was over.Im also glad that we have civil rights without civil rights people would still be held as slaves and they would still be getting beat by their owners.The biggest thing that i'm proud about is equal rights ,there should have never separated

One of the first things I would strive to do is bring more awareness to all members about what they are actually paying for. We all pay dues, but I know that many members, including myself, are unsure of what exactly our money goes towards. I truly see Delta Zeta as an investment for my future and with this office I hope to bring that same idea to all members. Another main goal of mine is to establish more trust with the women in this chapter. I want to be someone on the executive board that everyone can feel comfortable coming to with any life or financial hardships. Lastly, I want to bring more knowledge about Delta Zeta, SDSU, and national scholarships to the chapter. Along with this, I could also bring various workshops, partnered with

On 11/21/2016, I, William Van Scoter, was working as a police officer for the Wichita State University Police Department, in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. I had the North Wichita Police Department (WPD) on my car radio and they were looking for a black male wearing all black clothes with red shoes. The black male was wanted for a domestic violence incident. I heard over the radio that WPD requested Officer Gable #152 to help locate the individual.

FBLA is a Career and Technical Student Organization sponsored by Business Education teacher, Barbra Jackson, promoting business and leadership skills. In the past month alone, the organization has participated in various donations, community service, and fundraising and have even more planned in the months to come. Currently, FBLA is taking part in the Lilburn Co-Op where members can make donations such as canned food, freezer bags, detergents, etc, as well as raising money for the March of Dimes where all the proceeds members acquire goes to research for premature infants. President Judy Liu explains, “We participate in a lot of community service projects to help others increase their experiences, not just in high school, but also to prepare for the future after high school.”

I am from the United States of America, where the power originates from the people

Being a hands-on leader, I would have to sit down with the men and women of my force to gather their thoughts and understandings of what occurred during the Garner case. If I were Chief of Police when the Garner decision came out, I would feel compelled to implement changes within my department.
