Personal Statement: Moscrop Human Library

During the four years that attended high school, I have had the opportunity of being a member of many clubs. Being apart of Family Career Community Leaders of America was to me the greatest achievement of all four years attending high school. Although I only been a member for two out of the four years, it feels as though it has been forever. I had the privilege of being an officer for both of the two years. The first year I had the honor of being the FCCLA Treasurer, and my second year the President of Public Relations. My first year of membership, I won the gold medal in the North Carolina FCCLA State Competition. I won this medal by creating a Stop the Violence campaign by getting students in my school to spread bullying awareness for a

As a diverse student, in a very low income community I have always been known to standing up for others, as well as for myself. Having this natural drive i found myself taking a huge role in our high school Beta Club. As a natural leader, I was challenged with the opportunity to represent our high school’s Beta Club Chapter while running for North Carolina Beta Secretary. Although I felt experienced as a leader, I was really nervous to get up in front of all of North Carolina and give a speech at the Beta Club convention. Although I was nervous, I opened my mouth, and the words just began to come out. My fears went away, and I addressed everyone on topics of educational improvements and opportunities for all students to succeed. I used this

I have demonstrated excellence In leadership by being in Future Business Leaders of America ever since I was in my freshman year. I became secretary my freshman year, vice president my sophomore year, and will have acquired the privilege of becoming President my senior year. Being in FBLA has helped me not only grow as a member, but as a leader. Throughout my growth inside the club, I have been able to encourage others to join extracurricular activities, developing my interpersonal skills. Community service has also been a major part of my High School career. Whether it’s first preparing and painting the posters for an activity we are having, to being in charge of a fundraising event, my goal has always been to try to impact the community breaking

So far, I have altered how meetings are conducted from last year so that the student administration has more control of communicating ideas to the members. Later in the year, I plan to incorporate additional volunteer opportunities and I want to have more group conversations with the members to hear their ideas and try to merge those ideas into positive changes that can be made. This leadership opportunity is starkly different from that of coordinating a 5k. Being the president of NHS has given me additional exposure to public speaking skills, decision making skills, proper ways to conduct meetings, and ways to present myself professionally. Despite their differences, these leadership opportunities have helped me advance myself in my journey to accomplish my goals. The skills I gained and refined from these opportunities will undoubtedly assist me when trying to procure grants, build connections, and become a research team leader.

On April 26, 2017 I was made eighth grade secretary. Last year Mrs. Trimble, our advisor, just had us in her advisory. Thirty minutes a week to organize immense school functions for a little over one-thousand students wasn’t enough time, imagine that. This year we have student council as an elective class, so we are allowed more time to do what we need to. This is extremely nice because we have a lot to do as a board. Student council positions in high school can open up opportunities to apply for scholarships and prepare you for future jobs. Soon enough, I’ll start thinking about those possibilities, but all the worry is worth

Over the past two years (2014-2016) I have participated in the National Junior Honors Society. As a member, I commit to completing community service and to learning among my peers in order to develop into a superior leader. I have taken part in activities such as fundraisers, team building activities, and several forms of community services such as working in a soup kitchen, daycares and organizing social events. Recently, I volunteered for a week as a vendor at a temple in Tacoma, raising money for the establishment during the Cambodian New Year festival.

I have participated in many clubs where group work and leadership is a necessity: Model United Nations, First Class Leaders, Mu Alpha Theta, and National Honor Society. In these clubs, as well as in everyday life, I have been afforded the opportunity to share my values, listen to other’s opinions, and come together to find how we can share our values and ideas. However, my outreach and voice has been far more impactful in Mu Alpha Theta, a Math National Honor Society, and First Class Leaders where I gratefully serve on the Executive boards. I have organized many opportunities that have inspired members to commit philanthropic acts for tremendous charities, and in accordance there are numerous people that have received items that bring security

One of my biggest projects the past two years was serving a committee member with the Soroptimist Club of Madera, California to help create the event “Dream it, Be it” This event has touched my heart because it shows girls that no matter your race, religion, or current financial status you can achieve your dreams. Many girls in my small town do not have people in their lives that support or motivate them. It was extremely important to me that these girls realize that they are more than statistics, that they have powerful hungry brains that are willing to take them to the next level with hard work. I wanted these girls to know that I believe in them and I am willing to put my time and energy in for them. Being a first generation college student myself, I knew that I needed to use my voice to help girls to go after their dreams, no matter how far off they may seem. I have been a key member in making this event come to life and through this event I have been able to speak to girls and motivate them. I have found inspiration through community service and I want to spread this fire in my heart. I have been able to use leadership as a powerful tool for growth in my community. In hopes that one day everyone will go after their dreams and desires and use these skills to benefit

My high school years have been filled with many great memories; it is safe to say that I had an enjoyable high school experience. Some of my most unforgettable moments of my high school career have been in Beta Club. In 9th grade, I joined the Beta Club at my school. I joined because I knew that this club was an organization for those who love to serve others, and I know that decision will have a lasting impact on my life as well as on others’ lives. I was elected President of the Beta Club at my school in 11th grade. I led my club of about 40 members throughout the year as we took part in various service activities such as: trash pickup for Adopt a Highway, sponsoring a child for the holidays, and visiting local elementary schools to read

Throughout my educational career at St. Paul High School I have been involved in many roles of academic excellence and leadership that I believe have well-prepared me for my future.  As a freshman and sophomore, I received two ACE Awards for maintaining a minimum 4.0 GPA and as a junior received and Academic Letter.  During my sophomore year of high school, I participated in a number of leadership roles including 2015 HOBY ambassador and The Congress of Future Medical Leaders delegate.  Now, as a senior, I have taken on more positions of academic leadership such as participating on the St. Paul High School Academic Challenge Team and being a member of the National Honor Society.  Although these are only a number of my accomplishments over the

Skills such as leadership, communication, listening, and notetaking skills are very important for a secretary to have. Over the summer my communication has vastly improve from before because I volunteered at the Richardson Public Library for a large amount of my summer. I communicated with people from a higher positions like librarian, coordinators, fellow librarians, and kids. I’ve been in IMPACT Club for two years and there were so many triumphs and many opportunities that become of IMPACT Club. “Action follows belief” is a motto that have much value to me and I want that motto to be known for IMPACT Club to others that we helped. I can contribute for this year’s IMPACT Club more of my ideas that could make IMPACT even better. I can communicate and listen to other members. I will utilize my listening skills to gather notes to make IMPACT Club shine brighter. I want to represent every student in a secretory way by recording their voices not just agenda of the meeting. Through notes I will be their voice that will contribute to the IMPACT Club. I can I am also a team player that will effectively do my part and even more for IMPACT Club. It is my will, my motto, to serve others before yourself. I will pay full attentions towards all the members of the club and listen to their opinions attentively. I want to devote my time and effort to

I have taken various leadership roles during my time in high school and I’ve contributed to multiple organizations including Maryland School for the Deaf. I volunteered for Camp Invention, a summer program focused on creativity, innovation, real-world problem solving and the spirit of invention. I, as a leader, taught elementary kids and encouraged them by proposing new problems, applying principles, and making suggestions. I also founded and currently manage social media accounts for our class (of 2018). During MSD football season, my coaches have recognized me as a captain multiple times for my excellent leadership and always encouraging my teammates to strive. In addition to that, my coaches also invited me to train and prepare elementary

In my 9th grade year, I joined Key Club, a volunteer organization I knew nothing about. As time progressed I made new friends thanks to Mrs. Healy and renowned Monica Moore. I later – alongside my new “mentor” Monica and Patrick Wright– began to do the announcements with them. My sophomore year, I was also in Key Club but this time, was the 2014-2015 historian and only sophomore on a cabinet of all seniors. I was actively involved in a variety of clubs and groups: class president,

Doubtlessly, I consider my time in Key Club to be the one of the most valuable parts of my High School experience. Within this club, I found a second family, several leadership opportunities, and a passion for volunteer work. From events like Relay for Life and the Walk to End Alzheimer's, I learned of the immense joy that comes from seeing a smile on someone’s face and knowing that you helped put it there. Over the course of the last four years, I have successfully completed over 250 hours of community service, and hope to raise this number to 300 before I graduate high school. Moreover, I took on an executive board position, as club secretary, this past year, allowing me to become a servant leader to well over a hundred members, while developing

Heading into my junior year, we realized that things were not going as hoped – several of the fundraisers had been cancelled, and others fell short of the budget. As class vice president, I could not accept the possibility of not meeting our goals. So I stepped up; our past failures lit in me a fire of determination, ultimately carrying me to success.
