Statement Of Purpose For The Lion's Club Youth Exchange Program

It is a honor to be admitted to be considered for the National Junior Honor Society. Over my first months at Hickory Creek middle school, I had heard about the national junior honors society. In the beginning, I thought to myself, What is this junior honor society? I wonder what they do. Over the course of the winter I found out how the NJHS helps give back to the community and helps its member succeed academically.This things stood out to me because I try to excel academically while, giving back to people and I feel that I meet the standards to join the NJHS.

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 this passion, I have worked in my community to become more globally minded. I was incredibly fortunate to be selected by my high school to attend the 16th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, in which I listened to Nobel Prize winners talk about peacebuilding around the world, further inspiring me to work in social reform. This past July, I was selected to attend Camp Rising Sun, where I developed my leadership skills while living with 60 young women from around the

I would like to inform you why I made the decision to enroll my daughter Raquel Cepeda ID # 5500531 in Veterans Memorial Early College High School. The school has a high academic level and low drop out rates giving the school a great image. Two of my children attended Veterans Memorial Early College High School for four years and I believe this school prepared them for their next step in life. I believe this school will provide my child the opportunities to discover her talents and expand her knowledge. I as a parent am very interested for her academic development and I strongly believe that this school will help her build a firm academic foundation that will lead her to obtain success in further education.

The mission for the YMCA for youth is “Nurturing the potential of every child and teen”. Staff are taught that we must follow the mission statement to the fullest to insure that children will be able to fulfill their potentials. Also was said that many children, and teens do not have the resources to reach their potential so that is where the YMCA, and staff comes in. The YMCA tries to keep their mission alive by providing different classes, resources, and values to help youth. The are various programs, and services we provide for children and youth. Starting with childcare, camp, healthy food, education, sports, homework club, after school programs, classes, and many more. The YMCA is a non profit meaning it is goal is not making money, and makes most of their funds by fundraising, and membership cost. Although, the YMCA does not turn away anyone just because they do not have the funds to buy a membership. The YMCA provides aid for anyone that needs it, and welcomes them with open arms. Other ways the YMCA obtains money to keep their gym running is special events, and some programs that may have a fee.The YMCA main goal starting out was keeping young men out of trouble, and getting them the resources to find a job. That still lives on today, along with promoting healthy living. The YMCA hires people that fit under the safety guidelines for youth, and the same for volunteers. Every worker and volunteer must be able to pass a national finger print, and go through trainings

Iowa State University prides itself on its mission to “Create, share, and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place” (Iowa State University Office of the President: Mission and Vision). This mission focuses on the success of each and every student that attends Iowa State. In order for Iowa State’s Study Abroad program to follow the foundational mission of the entire university, it had to create a mission that also focused on the students. The mission they have formed and stand today consists of: putting emphasis on developing strong international adventures. In order for students to go out to other countries to receive a quality education, the Study Abroad program must create a strong base on which they are able to form equal quality education as Iowa State provides no matter where a student goes. To promote opportunities that are inclusive and affordable for all students. To prepare students and directors for success when studying abroad. To advance standards of safety and uphold

The Boys and Girls Clubs of the CSRA is a local chapter of the national organization that provides afterschool programs to children and young adults in order to provide for their development as productive members of society. (Evans, 2016)

The goal of the Marcy’s Youth Center  is to help at risk students living within Marcy Housing with low school performance in reading, writing, and math to improve their abilities to the point where they can succeed in school and develop the skills that will prepare them for high school. Studies have shown student who live in Public Housing are more likely to drop out of high school, score lower on standardized exams, and less likely to graduate in four years than those who do not live in public housing. Given this, the Marcy’s Youth Center seeks to achieve the following objectives:

The Seton Hall University name is well known through the northeast, leading to my interest in the institution. Its location in Newark opens doors to not only occupations there, but also in New York City, Philadelphia, D.C, and Boston among other places. Being born and raised in the Boston area, the authenticity to the city is much like Newark’s, which is appealing to those already accustomed to that setting. Academically, Seton Hall’s Law and the Global Community program is exactly the type of international law program I am looking for. The relationship that Seton Hall has with the United Nations creates exciting prospects for future interning, considering my dream has always been to work for the United Nations Security Council. The university’s

Smith College is known as the school that gives opportunities to any women in the world regardless their background. As a future government student focusing on international relations, I believe that the multicultural environment that Smith College has will teach me to embrace the cultural and ideological diversity of the world, a key characteristic that I need to adopt for my major. Attending to Smith will keep empowering me as a woman and leader. The holistic approach of the government program, open curriculum and the fact that it is part of the Five College Consortium will allow me to select the classes that are required and the ones that I am interested in. Smith will present me the opportunity of developing my own research investigation

For my personal experience project I decided to volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club. The reason that I decided to volunteer at this organization is because it is conveniently located next to my job, but also because I have previously volunteered here too. The Boys and Girls Club (BGC) is a non- profit organization, their mission is: “To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.” BGC is mainly an after school program for young students that are in elementary, middle, and high school. The resources offered at BGC range from character/ leadership programs, education/career, health/ life skills, art, and fitness/ sports programs. In my paper I will be discussing the day-to-day service provided by BGC, the types of problems and nature of the clients served by the agency, and finally my personal volunteer experience.

After my junior year I have attended New Mexico Boys’ State in 2016, is a program that was sponsored by New Mexico American Legion which was to help young boys to be good leaders and good citizen. It was a mock New Mexico’s state government and there I was elected chairman of the Federalist and appointed to be Chief Clerk of the House of Representative. This was beneficial to me because I understand what it take to make law and how it can be quickly pass. I also blossom to become a leader. In my freshman year I was part of the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) of National Carson Forest, Jicarilla District. The YCC program was to help high school student to better themselves to working in the forest and being part of the environment. I learn many

I aspire to be an Office of Multicultural Affairs Ambassador because of my prior experience as a Bowling Green State University student. For my first and second year, I was a part of the Arts Village in Kreischer-Compton. During my second year, I was a mentor on the behalf of the Arts Village. As a mentor, my task was to enforce diversity and inclusion in the Arts Village while assisting incoming students with acclimating into life on campus. Coupled with this is my background in creating events in order to promote community. Through this occupation, I’ve gained knowledge in helping other students, organizing and running events, and the promotion of the Arts Village through Preview Day and Open Houses.

The Eagle Scout Project is one of the requirements to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout and the Project itself must be one that benefits the community. For this project I coordinated my Troop (Troop 23) one building ramps along a bridge in Shevlin Park to improve walk-ability of the bridge. The project itself took around 60 hours of planning before the project could be approved by the unit leader and the unit committee of the Boy Scouts of America, Crater Lake Council. Having been the leader in this project and telling my fellow scouts what to do as the project was in motion, it taught me that setting up and coordinating a project is no easy task and it taught me good leadership/communication

Tufts’ premium undergraduate education and phenomenal international relations program drove my interest and application to Tufts. I have schooled across five countries and encountered a myriad of classrooms. I learnt that I am most engaged when the professor cares and interacts with the students, Tufts is famous for their invested professors. Tufts’ outstanding international relations program serves a diverse set of minds and encourages the curious to venture into new subterranean passions in this field of study. Due to Tufts’ unparalleled synergy of undergraduate teaching and renowned international relations program it belongs in the highest echelon of educational institutions.
