Personal Statement: My High School Involvement

Through high school I was involved in many different groups, clubs and athletics. I was a STRIDES leader for 2 years, an active member of the high school Bible study and a leader of the out of school athlete Bible study. I was a member of FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and I was also a member of the Z-Club. In high school I took challenging classes every quarter and I also took 3 of the 4 available college credit courses offered, finishing with an A in them all. I was on the honor roll 3 of the 4 years I was in high school and was a very dedicated student in all of my classes. During high school, I was given the amazing experience of representing my school and student body by being voted the freshman representative for the homecoming court. I was also

During my high school career, I have participated in a large majority of the clubs available to me, and held officer positions in most of them as well. In both the National Honor Society and Medical Connections Clubs I am a member of two and four years respectively, and was elected treasurer of both for the 2017-2018 school year. National Honor Society has also given me many community service opportunities, including helping with the Night to Shine organization and a volunteering at a local nursing home.

Throughout my high school career I have participated in many activities and been awarded many great honors. As a member of my high school color guard, I have led as co-captian and captain for four years, traveling across the country to compete. Beta Club has given me the opportunity to serve my local community and create a service project to reach the globe. I was asked to lead the volunteers at my church for the early service in the children's ministry area my sophomore year and I continue to serve in this position. During my junior year I was acknowledged as a junior marshal, a Wofford Scholar, and a Presbyterian College Scholar.

I’m an active participant in many extracurricular activities at New Brockton High School. Varsity sports, academic clubs, and leadership organizations, if you can name it, I’ve probably participated. I’m currently a varsity volleyball captain as well as the secretary for our Senior Beta Club, Vice-President for our FFA chapter, and not to mention represented New Brockton High School as a national youth delegate

The final mast of school and community involvement was catalyzed when I joined Key Club as a freshman. Finding a passion for service and leadership, it rapidly became my primary focus in deepening my high school experience. Key Club inspired me to search for further opportunities for leadership and involvement, leading me to join Student Council, Relay for Life, and so forth. Through my various executive positions, I have not only improved my own character and qualities, but also inspired others around me to do the

I have have attended Diboll High School for the entirety of my my high school career. I have taken great measures to ensure that I am an involved in almost every activity Diboll High School has to offer. While in High School I have been involved in Dazzlers, National Honor Society, SOAR, Spanish club, HOSA, Student Council, One Act Play, UIL Journalism events, FCCLA, Varsity Golf, and ACADEC. I manage

In high school I was very active in clubs and organizations. For instance, I was on the field hockey and track team. I was also president and event coordinator of the Girls Athletic Association (GAA). I was an active member of Youth Summit all throughout high school. Youth Summit members from all over the county would meet once a year to talk about and try to

Hi, I’m Emily Margolis! You may know me from different extra clubs around school. I try to involve myself in varied extracurricular activities, like SGA, for school spirit, FBLA, for competition, Junior Advisory, for prom, and Track, as a sport. I spent a lot of time in high school gaining community service through Key Club, Beta Club, and by volunteering at pet shelters and the library. Before I joined Track, I devoted many years to karate and became a second degree black belt. This helped me develop leadership skills, discipline, and patience. At the beginning of this year, I became the Junior Class Advocate.

The reason I decided to go back to school later in life is to continue my education and better equip myself for future professional responsibilities.

Throughout most of my high school career, I looked down on community colleges and believed that they were only for those who didn’t care about school or who hadn’t managed to get into a 4-year university. I admired those who went to schools like UT, Baylor, or A&M and thought that I would be one of them upon graduating. However, towards the end of my senior year, that all changed. Before continuing my education, I wanted to not only explore other career options, but also prepare myself mentally and academically. As a smaller, less expensive, and closer alternative to 4-year universities, Lone Star College offered the optimal environment.

During the past three years at Northshore High School, I have had the opportunity to engage in my interests by taking part in extracurricular activities. Freshman year, I was involved in Band and Frisbee club. During my second year at Northshore, I was involved in Band. This past year, I participated in Band—in which I was a section leader—, Key Club, and Robotics. For my senior year, I plan on being a part of Band, Key Club, Robotics, and Ambassadors.

I graduated from BCHS in 2012 and got my high school diploma, where majority of the extra curricular classes I took were in the arts with a goal aiming towards film making. Outside of school I would work on electronics and help my mom with projects around the house since it was the two of us, so we would frequent menards, especially when I started making spray paintings. Right now I'm helping my grandparents around their house with general maintenance, but I would like to do so much more for them.

Going to a public high school you meet all kinds of people. In my junior year of high school I met a boy my age, Asyln who failed a year. He mentioned complex trigonometry one day and I asked him how he could have been held back, he responds by telling me, “I don’t have the books like you, I don’t have two parents like you, and I don’t have money like you.” So I tutored him. I saw him learn and grow and I loved it. Similarly I fell in love with Columbia’s Harlem Tutorial Project, taking the time to tutor young children makes an enormous difference to them. Many kids are disadvantaged and lending my hand and forgetting about the rigor of college to give back to our community is

Many moons ago I had experienced a failure that resonated with me to change into a better person. I had flunked out of traditional high school. Though I ended up in an alternative high school; the blow of flunking out of the traditional high school really affected me in an intriguing way. Looking back, I understand in more detail how I was affected. I also learned what I needed to accomplish too little too late. Finally, I have changed plenty of things about me to better myself so nothing like this ever happens again. Many moons may have passed since this incident, but I have shown plenty of growth as a person because of it.

Imagine walking down the hallways of your high school in seventh grade. You are just trying to fit in and not get noticed and trying to get your routine down. Then try doing it without any real solid, concrete friends that will be there for you no matter what. Without friends now imagine what it would feel like sitting there with having several kids picking on you constantly making you feel worthless. Plus I am the type of person who holds all of comments and everything said to me within myself and not showing it on the outside. At first, it is easy to brush off the comments eventually it gets to a breaking point. Especially in seventh grade with trying to fit into the world it gets really difficult to this fragile, young kid. I was this kid who constantly got picked on and it changed my outlook on things and made me a more helpful person from my experience.
