Persuasive Essay On Model Congress

I was inspired by the representatives to work in a more challenging position. On the first few student council meetings I went to this year I saw the representatives working hard together and I wanted to be a leader like them to someday. I want to fulfill that goal as soon as possible.

Starting from Girl Scouts to CJSF, my early love for aiding others quickly developed. However, my most pivotal service experience is my involvement in Key Club. As I became further involved in this organization, the thought of advancing my role by becoming an officer became very persistent in my mind. Being extremely shy and withdrawn, the idea of being a leader was incredibly intimidating to even fathom. Despite my shyness and anxiety causing me to doubt myself, my love for serving others outweighed any uncertainty I had in myself. After a daunting speech and election process, I gladly accepted the challenge of a club secretary, which has given me the opportunity to not only serve my community, but the members of my club. My experience as a Key Club officer has enriched my perception of myself and widened my range to serve. It has taught me to take risks and step out of my comfort zone in order to pursue my passions. Key Club has served as a platform for me to become more engrossed in my community and lead me to consider careers in which I can help those in

But after I realized how involved we got to be in all of our school’s major decisions, I was hooked. I was overjoyed when I was presented with this amazing opportunity to not only better my campus for me, but for all of my peers. I believe this relates to the person I am because I love being able to solve complex social problems not only to satisfy my needs and wants, but others as well. Which is exactly what ASB is about. It’s not only something that is useful to me, but I love doing it. I love interacting with other people and helping them out. For example, last year I was elected Senior Class President. In the past, the seniors have usually waited until senior year actually starts in order to start organizing events. This year, directly after I was elected, I created and ordered all of our senior shirts with my fellow officers to have for the last day of school. And over the summer I made sure that our senior class was going to be able to have a perfect senior sunrise the first day of school complete with music and the ever popular Teddy’s Donuts. By going to class everyday, I get to help my peers everyday. ASB has been an important experience for me, because I’ve been able to grow as a person, and learn new leadership skills.

America is a country of democracy, hope, freedom and opportunity. Land of the free and home of the brave is a common expression when speaking about America. However, the country is not without issues. Politics is becoming more and more complex and in the eyes of the American public it is seen as ineffective and unproductive as congress seems to make no progress in the betterment of America. For instance, the gun control issues in America have been a growing issue ever since the Columbine shooting in 1999 which at the time was considered the deadliest mass shooting ever. Now,in 2018, nearly two decades later, Columbine is out of the top ten for the most deadliest shooting. Since Columbine happened mass shootings have increased and deadlier shooting

Since I’m interested in politics, I joined the Young Democrats club and I applied to hopefully become one of the girls representing my school at American Legion Auxiliary Virginia Girls’ State. I also wanted to develop my leadership skills, so I became co-president of FIDM Fashion Club with my friend and moved up the ranks of the Advanced Orchestra cabinet to eventually become the president. Becoming a part of these extracurriculars has increased my desire to become a political leader, especially being a part of the Young Democrats. During the 2016 election cycle, we volunteered at a Hillary Clinton rally and I was awestruck. This experience not only gave me a new idea about politics, but it strengthened my desire to become a politician. From experiencing a real life mock government setting at Virginia Girls’ State to attending political rallies and discussions with the Young Democrats to planning and coordinating a charity fashion show to help others, I saw the power of compassion, initiative, and leadership in action and I loved

An event that is sweeping the nation is the 2016 United States Presidential Election. The main two candidates Hillary Clinton, Democrat, and Donald Trump, Republican, have been going head to head and clashing at every corner they can. Both candidates have backgrounds that make the citizens skeptical about who to vote for. Millions of people have been affected by these battles including me; even though I am unable to vote, the future of my country for the next four or eight years is at stake. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both putting up a great fight to show that they both deserve the position as the President of the United States, but is it really worth it?

Being a class officer for three out of the four years of my high-school experience is The accomplishment that demonstrates my potential to make significant contributions to the campus community and broader society. As a class officer, I have taken my class’ feelings and suggestions to form our class into the successful student body it is. I help host fundraisers for our class as well as work on giving back to the community. I demonstrate leadership by being able to work with my class officers to compose the highest beneficial decisions for the class. To be voted in by my peers to be the voice of our class is an important achievement for me. From this experience I have learned to take into consideration of everyone’s opinions and needs to produce

Looking back at my spring semester of sophomore year, I had applied to many officer positions in many student organizations, such as Asian Presidents’ Council, Pre Vet Society, and Beta Tau Omega. At that time, I felt like I can take it on with little issues, due to my past involvements during my Freshman year (6 student organizations).

Model Congress has been one of my favorite extracurricular activities. This club which I have participated in for four years now has helped shape who I am, introduced me to new people, and given me memories to last a lifetime.

My motivations for joining Student Council have existed since the beginning of sophomore year, and they continually grow. At the beginning of sophomore year, I applied for sophomore at large on a whim, and doubted that I’d survive interviews. After scraping by, and being adequately shaken by a very stern interviewer, I realized how much student council meant to me. The questions I was asked caused me to think deeply about my short experience at IMSA and my entire experience in school as a whole. It was during the simulation that I knew that I wanted to be part of Student Council. I felt an adrenaline rush when I took charge of my group and began bouncing ideas off of someone who would later become one of my best friends. Running around campus with him and having people fill out our survey, and then creating a PowerPoint while not very kindly asking people to please leave us alone was thrilling. We were solving an issue, listening and learning, compiling our research, and presenting all in 2 hours. At the end of the simulation, I told a member that I needed a hug. I did my best, I was exhausted, and I still felt inadequate because the solution wasn’t completely solid. I wanted to fix it more. The drive I felt that day to help was incredible, and I’d never felt that I could make a change on campus until that day.

Let’s take a step back - in April of 2014, I became a part of one of the most influential groups of my school - the National Honor Society. Whilst pledging to uphold service, character, scholarship, and leadership, I never

As elected Vice President of Key Club, many doors have been opening up with opportunities. Overtime I have been involved with organization involving the Prom Attire Sale, American Red Cross, and the Bloodworks Northwest. Focusing more on the blood drive, I was trained as a “Canteen Donor Monitor” in case of emergencies and provided extra support to make sure each individual was well cared for. Personally, it has positively affected the way I present myself. Compared to before as someone who has difficulties in speaking, I have improved in public speaking. I am now more comfortable being able to communicate with others. Throughout the event I was surprised on how much easier I assisted students without the constant anxiety that always seems

Since before the start of my senior year of high school, I knew that I wanted to get more involved in school clubs I would be a member of. At the start of the school year, I became a member Spanish National Honor Society and National Honor Society. My friend Hannah convinced me to join Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, a club that I had previously been strongly tied to without being an official member. The club had little membership and stood shrouded in the shadows from the rest of the school. After careful consideration, I decided to try to obtain the position of treasurer for FCCLA.

In the wake of crisis, commentators and news analysts have said that United States citizens make the best out of the worst circumstances. Throughout history Americans have shown that they have evolved into optimistic, vigilant people. Civic virtue is a morality or particular behavior that describes the way that a citizen holds involvement in society to a high standard. Civic virtue doesn’t necessarily have to be shown while in a group. An individual can display civic virtue by volunteering, participating in non profit events, or even voting. Civic virtue helps people understand their importance in their community and gives people a way to use their voice for good. Without the knowledge or understanding of civic virtue, people will start to become selfish. They won’t spend their time participating in non profit events or participating in groups that benefit society.

All that I am asking is for your ears and patience. I realize your standpoint in the election may not be the same as mine but please just listen and acknowledge what I have to say. I know many people are probably trying to gain your significant vote in this upcoming election but I hope to sway you to my side. It is obvious that Hillary’s motives for the country are going to lead America in the right direction. This next election is a matter of a disastrous or blessed lifestyle for the United States’ future. I hope you have the sense of choosing the latter and joining Hillary’s side.
