Statement Of Purpose: Alpha Kappa Alpha

As a member of four national honor societies, I believe my presence in those organizations has made me a good candidate for the College Scholars program. I was invited to the National English Honor Society, Rho Kappa (Social Studies National Honor Society), National French Honor Society, and National Honor Society. All four have enhanced my academics, social skills, and intuition. In the National English Honor society, we are challenged to utilize our writing skills for the betterment of our community. Our main project this year was creating little messages that promoted suicide prevention. We would then attach the message to a knitted heart and hang them all around our school. Rho Kappa has gifted me with an appreciation for the United States

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Incorporated purpose is to be of service to all mankind dealing with critical issues in communities domestically and internationally. What I have grown to understand an envision a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated to be, I accredit largely to the ladies of the Gamma Theta chapter. This has the result of attending many of the chapter’s events during my time at Hampton thus far. One of my favorite events was a screening of a documentary Girls Rising. I learned to appreciate every opportunity to learn and gain knowledge because in some parts of the world girls are restricted from receiving an education. A

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.

As I sought out to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. I saw that the organization matches my personality and what I stand for. My true passion is to make a difference in this world, I desire to make a significant impact on the lives of the youths to inspire them to reach their full potential. I know that Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was established to accomplish the same things that I do, this is one of the many reasons I aspire to join this great fraternity.

My partner and I grew up around many sororities, but Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. has always caught our eye. When our teacher explained our topic that could be an interest to us, my partner and I decided on Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. The sorority A.K.A means a significance in our community. It was the first African American women's sorority dedicated to serve the people and others in need. We knew that we would dedicate our time in making the project a success.

My most meaningful accomplishment is finding my inner leader and learning to believe in myself. For many years I was extremely shy and I let this deter me from enjoying activities outside my comfort zone. Growing up I never really believed enough in myself to find my leadership abilities. It was not until early in my college career that I began to truly see my potential. My freshman year of college I began to open myself up to the possibilities around me by joining clubs on campus and making connections with those around me. The one organization that truly changed my outlook forever was Phi Beta Chi National Sorority. Within my sisterhood I began to open up and see myself as the leader I knew I could be. Once I had this new found outlook I

At this point in my college career, I have reached the limit as to what the Miami-Dade Honors College can offer me. So far I have pursued an Associate in Arts degree in Biology and am looking forward to the next step in my education. My experiences here have allowed me to grow heavily both as a student and an individual, but I am limited in the amount of resources currently available to me. For example, I do not have the variety of courses and study abroad opportunities that four-year college students have. Hence, I have taken all the science and math courses towards my associates degree at Miami-Dade College, but I am left to explore other options to continue to advance my preparation for a career in the science field. This is because I have

For the past three years I have been convinced that although I was in classes with the smart kids, I was not one of them, but maybe, I am different after all. I was raised with the expectation to have a perfect GPA and to grow up and do something amazing to make a lot of money. Because I did not have a 4.0 GPA from the start, I was under the assumption that I was not smart or good enough and therefore would never qualify for anything, especially not for the National Honor Society. But I worked hard, I pushed myself as far as I could, and never gave up, even through tough times. I made sure that I put forth my best effort and finally, my Senior year, I believe that I meet the standards for which the NHS is looking for; scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

All leadership qualities such as scholarship, character, citizenship, leadership itself, and service should be exemplified as an NJHS member at Claughton Middle School! However, one quality that attracts my attention the most is "leadership". This outstanding quality drove me to believe that "leadership" should symbolize our school's organization, National Junior Honor Society.

I have heard about National Junior Honor Society way before Middle School. Students who are members always are exemplary students and are of good characters, well enough to be my role models. Ever since my elementary years, I have maintained all “A”s grade, I always have interest in leadership and service, and I always thirst for a challenges and accomplishments.., things that I know will make a good fit to be a member of this prestigious organization.

Our family has been blessing people by providing a food pantry out of our home for the community for the past two years; before that we did a food ministry out of our church for six years, blessing thousands of family a month. I am very active in our current church, i run the soundboard and the computer/projector during Sunday service. I'm always willing to help others, I have 1700+ volunteer hours over the past seven years. Currently i am holding a 4.00 gpa in my college classes and I'm on the schools president's list. I've recently applied and have been accepted in the Phi Theta kappa honors society.

My talents are reading,writing,water polo,and running.I am really good at all these things and are easy for me to do.With running you have to have good breath support and practice.Water polo you have to have good muscles in your legs to keep you afloat and muscles in other parts so you could swim fast.Reading and writing you have to have good concentration and an amazing imagination.

The definition of talent is natural aptitude or skill. I like to believe that it’s gift that has yet to be opened. Most people have the gift, but they refuse to open it. They know that once they do they will have to work to improve and develop it, and that discourages them. The few that do, on the other hand, open that gift and work as hard as physically and mentally possible to build up the talent that they have discovered. Stephen King once said, “Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented ones from the successful ones is a lot of hard work.” This may mean something different to everyone else, but to me, it means talent is just the place where you begin, you must work hard to get where you want to go.

A talent of mine is football and just being an overall athlete. My ability to adjust to different things and surroundings is something i'm very strong at. I’ve been playing football since i was 5 years old and stuck with it since then. That’s when i realized i found my passion and love for the game. When i have a strong passion for something i never ever let it go and i never let anyone or anything get in between it. I’m one track minded when it comes to a goal i have and want to achieve. I do whatever it takes to succeed and be successful. I heard when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then you’ll be successful. That’s my ultimate favorite quote because it fits me very well and falls good with my situation. My dad is a major

A talent that I have is knowing how to handle little kids. I have worked with preschool kids for 4 years about. Working with kids helped me gain a lot of experience on how to teach a certain kid a certain way. I have realized that every kid learns a different way, not all kids can be taught the same way because all the kids have different ways of understanding a certain subject. Or they have to be taught by working one on one, teacher to student. I have improved on teaching children, and that was my main goal, was to improve on that. So that way when I get older and have my own kids I would know how to teach them in a way where they can understand. I find my talent a amazing thing because working with children is not an easy thing. I believe
