During this school year, I have dedicated myself and my time to ensuring the success of the State High National Honor Society's first year by serving as club treasurer; I now hope to continue my efforts as president in my senior year. Because State High did not have an NHS chapter until the spring of last year, there existed no precedent for how the club should be run. The four other officers and I began meeting in August to make decisions regarding service projects, monthly meetings, finances, general logistics, and more. We planned the induction ceremony, including from the speeches we would deliver to the food we would serve. At the beginning of the year, I established a journal of transactions/budget for the NHS based on formal accounting

1) As a Roncalli student, I have been able to participate in many memorable service activities both as an individual and in a large group. From freshman year, I have accumulated the most service during the summer time when I have had the opportunity to be involved coaching youth teams in different sports. This service is the most special to me because it is a way for me to volunteer in activities that I myself love and have a passion for. It has taught me a lot, and I think I have gotten as much out of it as the girls I coach have. Another notable service is the service I was able to participate in with my classmates as a volunteer at Journey Home. This service really opened my eyes to the issues people and families face here in Aberdeen. I was happy that I was able to experience and learn something new while helping a cause and helping people in my own community that I otherwise would have never known about. This year, I was also able to volunteer to be a group leader at a Roncalli Junior High Retreat. When I was younger I always knew it was something I wanted to experience and I loved being there. It was great to meet the younger kids and help them along throughout the day while they experienced a retreat for the first time. I hope to continue these service activities as I get older and move out of my time in high school wherever I end up.
