I believe leadership and service are two of the most important aspects of an individual; they are very telling of someone’s work ethic and internal motivation, and they help drive our nation forward. Without leadership and service, we would not be where we are today. Through the United States Senate Youth Program, I believe I can showcase and further develop my leadership skills, and demonstrate my ability to serve others and truly connect with them. My position as Senior Patrol Leader in my Boy Scout Troop is no doubt the most important feature of my leadership experience. I am currently at the very end of the process of attaining my Eagle Scout rank; by the time Washington Week occurs, I will have been an official Eagle Scout for some time. …show more content…
I am ranked third in my class with a career GPA of 4.0, and I am a member of National Honor Society and the Gifted Program. Through my 10 years of Scouting and my involvement in KAY Club and NHS, I have logged countless hours of community and school service hours; I feel that I have a true impact on my community. My Eagle Scout Project is the rehabilitation of our Dog Park by raising funding for and installing five items of Dog Agility Equipment, improving the quality of the park and the surrounding neighborhood. My general plans for college are to major in Political Science and Public Administration at Kansas University, then attain a Master’s Degree in Public Administration, with the possibility of a Doctorate in Political Science. I will pursue a career in Politics or Public Administration, continuing my leadership and service to my community, state, and nation. Overall, I feel that I am a well-rounded and qualified candidate for the 2017 USSYP Delegation from Kansas; as an active youth in my community that cares about Politics and the way our country operates, a Washington Week experience would benefit and boost my knowledge, political experience, and help me grow in leadership, hopefully culminating into a career of public service to our great state and even greater
I am very proud of being an Eagle Scout. In order to achieve the rank of eagle, I had to put many hours into my scouting career and constantly look for ways to lead and help serve my troop and the community. I am also proud of my project, which betters the Naperville Park District. I couldn’t be happier with the final result of the project, as I was able to successfully complete it and it still looks fantastic nearly a year later. Two traits, hardworking and diligence, were extremely important in the success of my project, and are also very important in my everyday life. I’m a very hard worker, and I don’t give up until I complete my goals. The traits that helped me achieve Eagle Scout apply to all parts of my life including academics
My foremost ambition after becoming an Eagle Scout is to become a Doctor after graduating from Medical School. For me setting goals, are the steps to achieving my ambition. Without goals I would not progress on, which would prevent me from reaching my Ambition. Being an Eagle Scout has been a goal for me since I joined Cub Scouts in DATE. The Eagle Scout rank is a goal that, once completed will help me get into Medical School. Being an Eagle Scout will help me get into the medical school by showing my hard work and determination to succeed and help others. Most Medical Schools accepts less than 3% of the submitted applications. Medical Schools look for students who not only get perfect grades, but are also good communicators and
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.
The National Junior Honor Society and I possess a common vision. I, like the members of this Honor Society strive to make Stinson an all around friendlier environment and spread positivity school wide. I believe I would live up to be an outstanding member of NJHS because, I am exceptionally responsible, and will have an opportunity to express ways to help further our school’s reputation.
From a young age, I have been fascinated by making things and learning how they work. My educational experience and community service projects have given me an appreciation for engineering from project managing and constructing my Eagle Scout project to enjoying my chemistry and physic classes. I plan on obtaining a degree in Engineering because I enjoy taking something from conception to production and I am interested in the science and math behind
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.
I have had many accomplishments and times of leadership. Some leadership roles I have participated in are: being Deacons Quorum President, Senior Patrol Leader, Band, Cross Country, “Teacher’s PET” in 5th grade, and Basketball. Some achievements I’ve accomplished are: being #1 on the reading hall of fame in 5th grade, had 4 Band concerts, gone to Scout Camp and helped with eagle projects, been to 7 Cross Country meets, and been on 3 Basketball teams.
Motivation drives us to accomplish our goals in life. A simple sentence such as "I can get through this day." or "I can become president." turns into the driving factor that helps us reach our destination. We all have used the "I can" statement and American Eagle has taken that statement to the next level in their #WeAllCan Campaign. The minute long video features a cast of celebrities in different settings throughout New York like Coney Island wearing a casual style of clothing. Black and white scenes intertwine with color scenes throughout the video, with even a vintage style of film shown. Through the credibility of the cast, the American Eagle Campaign effectively appeals to a target audience of millennials. The campaign uses pathos to create a cause of individuality and speaking out, but only uses those celebrities in a stereotypical way to sell the brand of clothes.
I am interested in becoming a member of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) because it will help boost my leadership and social skills, character, citizenship, and help me to become a better scholar. These skills are important because they will help me learn to listen to other people’s ideas and share ideas with others. Also, NJHS will help me learn to lead and take charge, help my community, and maintain a good GPA to get into a great college. I am also interested in being a member of National Junior Honor Society because my sister was in it when she was in middle school and they did multiple interesting and productive projects, activities, and field trips.
I recently completed my Eagle Scout rank, achieving the highest honor in Boy Scouts, and I am also a brotherhood member of scouting's honor society, the Order of the Arrow. I served a six month term as Senior Patrol Leader, the most senior scout leader within my troop, as well as serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader for one term. Before that, I did three six month terms as Troop Guide, a position in which I acclimated first year scouts to the troop, teaching them the ways of scouting. My experience in Boy Scouts has presented an abundance of opportunities for me to develop my leadership skills, giving me a competitive advantage over other candidates.
I have demonstrated excellence In leadership by being in Future Business Leaders of America ever since I was in my freshman year. I became secretary my freshman year, vice president my sophomore year, and will have acquired the privilege of becoming President my senior year. Being in FBLA has helped me not only grow as a member, but as a leader. Throughout my growth inside the club, I have been able to encourage others to join extracurricular activities, developing my interpersonal skills. Community service has also been a major part of my High School career. Whether it’s first preparing and painting the posters for an activity we are having, to being in charge of a fundraising event, my goal has always been to try to impact the community breaking
A good leader inspires people to better themselves. I feel I am a good candidate for the National Honor Society because I have leadership experiences in refereeing youth soccer games, volunteering in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and taking Links, which is a class that helps students with autism in their classes. While referring children's soccer games I had to pick and choose the calls that I had to make so the kids could learn the game but also have fun playing the game. Even though some kids didn't like it, I had to be a sense of authority to them to make sure none of them got hurt when playing soccer. When I go to visit my little brother, for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, I help him with his homework, and also make it fun
I want to provide a positive attitude that can help improve the National Honor Society. It might seem like something simple and worthless to some, but to me having a positive attitude in the face of adversity makes me a stronger person. Unlike others whom can provide incredible ideas or stupendous promises, the only thing that I truly offer to NHS is that I would work hard no matter what in order to help the Cardinal Hayes community grow. I'll become a team player that can understand what it takes to properly accomplish goals that the team aims for, when others are looking at the horrible things at the present moment I wanna be the person that anyone can rely on. My personal desire is to help the organization overcome obstacles and to be able
Oh, the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout! The most sought after award by young men, which eludes all but eight percent of the Boy Scout of America’s members. Though its origins date all the way back to 1912, the Eagle Scout award has not only changed in look and in appeal, but also in its requirements needed to obtain such a glorified achievement. According to the Boy Scout Handbook, 12th Edition, There is an official list that is compiled of seven requirements that must be achieved to acquire the award; that is if the youth going for Eagle has met all 70+ requirements for all the ranks prior. But of those seven tasks, are two that stand out above the rest. The requirements that are the most important yet strenuous would be completing a total of 21 Merit Badges and the Eagle Scout Project.
Leadership Development, and the desire to serve my country are two main reasons that have guided my life towards wanting to attend a service academy. Always having to ability to demonstrate great leadership has been an extraordinary part of my life. I have had the opportunity to meet past graduates, and they showed me how services academies take special pride in developing there cadets into fine young men and women. The United States Military Academy produced several people (ex: Robert E Lee, Ulysses S. Grant) who are not only prodigious leaders, but have had a tremendous impact on the U.S.A itself. Personally, I have always believed that everybody has the duty to serve their country in some sort of way. Being able to attend a Service Academy
