The opportunity to participate in the Lion’s Club Youth Exchange Program is exciting.

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:
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 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
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

Throughout our lives, we all probably have faced a slump that put you in a dip. It drags you down to the very bottom and makes you want to give up on everything. However, everyone has different way of getting out of that sinkage; it may be exercise, travel, etc. In my case, the one that pull me out of the slump was motivation and inspiration that my role models gave, especially, King Sejong the Great, one of the greatest rulers in the history of Korea and my biggest role model that I admire.
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
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
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.

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.
Long before the European Central Bank was involved with the monetary policies of Europe, visionaries saw the need for a common marketplace to bring the people of Europe closer together. This began with the Treaty of Rome in March of 1957. The aim of the treaty was to create a zoned marketplace, free of tariffs that would unite to the people of Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, and Italy. The idea behind the treaty was that those living within the common marketplace zone would achieve a higher standard of living by combining their strengths and resources, having the same trading policies, and be able to challenge the economic muscle of the United States.
It was Saturday morning and I awoke to find that I had transformed into a three toed sloth. I sat there on my bed scanning over my body when suddenly my mom walked through the door and screeched, she spun around and darted out of the room and down the stairs. I lay there on the bed facing the empty door way wondering why mom was so terrified of me, still thinking of why she would tremble every time she say me and not figuring it out, I decided to go see what she was doing. I bounced of the bed hitting the floor hard and scurried to the top of the stairs and squealed to get her attention, but when she glanced up at me she howled and bolted into the kitchen. One by one I started prancing down the stairs to see what mom was doing. Once I got to
Firstly, studying international relations gives a lot of opportunities for travelling to both students and those who are working in a job which is related to international relations. For instance, the students can go abroad for educational purposes with different international student programs. One of these programs is Erasmus. Erasmus is an international program which enables students to study abroad for six months or one year. Those students who went abroad with Erasmus can reinforce their CV, speak English fluently, or even learn a new foreign language. Thus, if it is considered that international relations students have to learn new languages as many as they can, Erasmus might be a good choice for these students who study international relations. In addition to Erasmus, there is another organization, especially for the international relations students, which is called Model United Nations (MUN). MUN is a simulation of United Nations. This organization gives chance to go abroad for university students. MUN also motivates students to learn for the reason that while the students are preparing to represent a country, these students, who attend MUN meetings, have to learn a lot of information about the country which they chose to represent. The graduates who are working as a diplomat or following an academic
