Rutgers University Community Analysis

Personal Character traits can help you grow as a person because with good character by you just being nice to someone you could make their day, and seeing them happy can make you feel

"Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike." Theodore Roosevelt. Students should demonstrate scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character because of three reasons. One, if students demonstrate these qualities they are more likely to get better grades and get reprimanded less. Another, without these traits, a student would have far less opportunities in the future. Finally, as students grow they will gain much more wisdom if they allow themselves to work on demonstrating these characteristics. Overall, these qualities are very important in the present, and in the future.

Character is an important ideal to aspire to because it helps one serve his or her community better and by being kind to others make the world a better place. I hope to improve and build my character through the National Honors Society by being influenced by kind and intelligent role models. I am going to take these influences and be a better role model to those in school and at home by always doing the right thing. A person with a good character tends to be involved in service, or giving back to the community and the world one lives in. This is important to do because having the heart to serve people is a way to show appreciation for what others have done for you, continue the cycle of serving each other, and make the world a better place. I enjoy serving people because I am helping, giving back, and allowing people to have an enjoyable time. I give back to my Palumbo community by volunteering at school events, my Student Runs Philly Style community through volunteering at races, and my local community through volunteering at the library. By joining the National Honors Society, I want to have the opportunity serve at humanitarian events and make a big difference in people’s

As Ernie Harwell once quoted: “It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.” This quote sums up the feelings that come to mind as I fill out this application to transfer to Rutgers New Brunswick. My experience so far at Rutgers has taught me a lot about myself, and the people around me. It taught me that I am a part of a bigger picture, and each of us as individuals have a huge impact on the society around us. However, I have come to peace that it is time to move on from the Newark campus and pursue my degree at Rutgers New Brunswick School of Arts and Sciences. New Brunswick would be a more logical option for my studies due to a shorter commute from home, and a better computer science program.

To possess an outstanding character is a National Honor Society expectation. I use my traits of optimism and determination to display my character. For me, my high school

The reason of the National Honor Society is to assist the community through the use of community service. The students selected in this course must have strong academic goals and achievements while at the same time being students people are comfortable socializing with. The National Honor Society promotes to the community to allow to see the students grow and achieve as well as the surroundings around them.

I was always the kid in my family that enjoyed philosophical debate, and now with my recent love for African-American culture and history, I feel that the Telluride Association Sophomore Seminar would be just up my alley. Sitting in a room with a handful of other African-American high schoolers that have the same fire for learning and discussion as I would be wonderful, and possibly would foster a plethora of great new friendships. The workshops lead by the adult professionals would also serve as a good networking opportunity as well as the chance to understand what career opportunities would possibly available to me. I am a young intelligent poor African-American that has Haitian heritage living in Orlando, attending a predominately caucasian school on a magnet.

For the purpose of this paper, the community being analyzed will involve the population that lives within the boundaries of the Nutley, New Jersey. Nutley, a township within Essex County, New Jersey, is home to a dense population of individuals within its small borders. It meets the criteria of a community due to the fact that the individuals share some mutual characteristics (Kirst-Ashman, 2011). Nutley is a residential neighborhood that consists of 11,301 households. Nutley, New Jersey is also a geographical community, where individuals share the common variable of location (Kirst-Ashman, 2011). Subsequently, Nutley contains one high school, one middle school, and five elementary schools (Nutley, New Jersey, 2016). Within the 3.428 square miles that Nutley is comprised of, there are 10 public parks where residents are welcomed to play soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and baseball among other sports.

I can give to the Howard University community through excellence, leadership, truth and service by getting involved within the community. From what I know there are many opportunities Howard provides to get involved in student life. It’s important to me to connect and take pride in my school. Excellence is the goal. While being in the community I will constantly remind myself that I am there to have fun but ultimately to make something of myself and strive for success in my academics. If I strive in my academics, I know that I will strive in life. Leadership will help me put myself out there. It will help me get involve and take charge. I know that I am intelligent and I have a bright mind that will bring many ideas to the table. I want to

For nearly two years, I have been attending Tougaloo College. Before attending Tougaloo, I was educated in the Jackson Public School System. I am a Jackson native. I was raised by a single parent. My secondary academic career was mildly successful. I graduated high school with honors, and received numerous awards and honors such as being inducted into my high school's Hall of Fame. On another note, during my time at Tougaloo, I have become very knowledgeable on an array of topics. I have experienced much growth while being a student there. Tougaloo has instilled in me many of the necessary tools that are needed to truly thrive in the academic world. Studying at Brown, will grant me with the opportunity to experience a number things that

Chicago is divided into a total of 77 community areas. These community areas have their own cultures and governments. In addition, these communities house more than 100 unique neighborhoods. As Chicago is proud of its reputation of being a multicultural city, these neighborhoods tend to emphasize the culture and heritage of the individuals that make up the population of the neighborhood or those who helped to build the area into what it is now. For instance, the website published by the City of Chicago’s official tourism agency, Choose Chicago, describes the Humbolt Park area, which is home to two towering sculptures of the Puerto Rican flag, as being “rooted in a proud Latino tradition” (Chicago 2015).

Good character/characteristics also show leadership and value. Not only to the people around you, but to the marketplace (where you work).

Every day, without fail, my dad would ask me, “What school do you want to go to?” as if I was expected to figure it out overnight. I didn’t understand what made one school stand out over another. Every school I visited seemed to blend in, I liked them all, but these four years will impact the rest of my life, what if I were to choose the wrong one? One day, while I was visiting my sister in the city, we walked past NYU, and she said that it could be a good school to look into. After looking into it, I realized that it is one of the top business schools in the country. Ever since I took my first accounting class in tenth grade, I knew that was what I wanted to major in, so I became extremely interested in this school. I knew I needed to get

When we actively pursue our desires, we take on traits favorable to the completion of our goals. The assimilation of those traits into our personality may be little more than a result of repetition, but they become a basis upon which our identity might change or, more consequentially, be judged.

Intelligence, wit, judgment, and the other talents of the mind, however they may be named, or courage, resolution, perseverance, as qualities of temperament, are undoubtedly good and desirable in many respects; but these gifts of nature may also become extremely bad and mischievous if the will which is to make use of them, and which, therefore, constitutes what is called character, is not good.
