Statement Of Purpose: The Bones Colorguardian

All throughout my life I have loved to serve. In high school, I took on many leadership positions which led me to earning a full ride scholarship at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith with the Chancellor’s Leadership Council. During my time as an undergraduate student, I worked hard to serve people through the Student Government Association as treasurer, Alpha Epsilon Delta as President, and was a frequent volunteer at the Sebastian County Humane Society. Through these leadership positions and volunteering, I learned how to serve while at the same time balancing an outstanding academic record. This past year due to my service , I was presented the STEM Biological Sciences Service Award, an award for a graduating senior who has demonstrated leadership, academic integrity, and dedicated service for their years at UAFS. I have also been to three different countries for culture and study abroad experiences. I have been to Belize to study the ecological interactions between humans and tropical habitats, and to Spain and South Korea to study culture and language. These experiences have shown me that different types of people live differently because of their culture; however, as a human race we all have one goal in life, to be happy and live a fulfilling life. Without vision, one cannot see this, and as an optometrist I want to help people see that they too can

When I was 11, I saw my sister walk across the stage in the Go-Hawk Gymnasium. I remembered the tassels she wore, and how only some of graduates had them on. At the time, I didn't know what they meant or how to achieve them, but I knew that was a goal I wanted to strive for. Looking back at my life as a Go-Hawk, my leadership, my volunteer work, and my success in the classroom has culminated to the opportunity to be apart of something that I only dreamed of growing up.

Each year Delta Gamma has a founder’s day. Founder’s day was held this year at the Rustic Lodge in Indiana PA. We celebrated our 35 years on IUP’s campus as Delta Gamma’s. Many old alumnae came and celebrated with us at a formal dinner. This year we invited the Whited family to come and talk about the struggles their family has been experiencing with their son Lochlan. The alumnae wanted to raise money for this family and passed around a basket and they donated over 500 dollars for the retinal

I would like to become an active member of Carrboro High School National Honor Society, because I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve and improve the community with other like-minded students. I believe it is important to balance academics, athletics, and community service. For example, this year I am taking 5 AP classes, running cross-country and track, and have spent almost 150 hours volunteering in the community. The first time I volunteered was when I raised a diabetic alert dog with my family. Even though I was sad to see the dog I had raised go, it was a rewarding experience because I knew that the dog would help someone have a better life. Anytime I can find an opportunity to both improve myself and the community, I won’t hesitate to seize it. I found the opportunity to do just that at both Shodor and CHCCS Project Graduation.

Mark henan: We have any military veterans in the audience today? At ease all that “rucus”, what do you think this is? college? Greetings to chairman Davis. President Jackson. Members of the board and trustees. Family ,friends, and my fellow graduates. May I share, may I share, my story in an essay format. After high school I went to college for one term and quit. Joined the army and 20 years later I found myself in the final stages to deploy to Iraq. Unfortunately, I was injured. My team with whom I had a bond forged in steel went to Iraq without me, but not everyone retuned. They sacrificed their dream so that we could dream big. And today I speak for those who no longer have a voice. As the story goes my injuries left me immobile and I couldn’t

I am genuinely honored to be one of the few students considered for acceptance to the State College Area High School chapter of the National Honor Society. I feel that my hard work and dedication in academics is beginning to show through. Throughout my life, I have shown drive and devotion for everything in which I have been involved, ranging from athletics to academics. My mentality has always been focused on helping others. For this reason, I aspire to become an orthopedic surgeon so that my career will evolve around helping others to get the most out of their lives. My summer will be spent volunteering at Phoenix Rehab for fourteen hours each week as it will allow me to begin providing care to the community. Currently holding an unweighted

The two defining moments in my scholarly life that define what my character consists of are the months as a coach for the U-9 R.I.S.C. Takers Soccer team as well as my trip to the village of Cuajiniquil, Costa Rica with the National Geographic summer community service program. Both of these instances have taught me valuable life lessons, including my responsibility as a role model for young children, the importance of giving back to our community, and the acceptance of other cultures, practices, and behaviors. This is what make me who I am and a very qualified candidate for the title of National Honor Society Member.

To proving that I’m eligible for this incredible honor and responsibility will be challenging for my actions do not reflect my true character. This organization can help me show my beautiful colors and share with the

For the past four years I have been an active member of the GCAA Honor Society Club.

I am very happy that the National Honor Society has chosen me to be a candidate. Throughout the summer I have completed a total of 18 hours of service. From ticket taking at the Marquette County Fair, cleaning at the Habitat for Humanity Restore, and making packets for the Negaunee Middle School. At each of these volunteering events I learned that it can be fun to volunteer. Without volunteers some events would not happen, like the Model A Fall Color Ride.

The Anna Dale Dalton Competitive Scholarship Award on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated would invigorate my determination to change the community around me. I always strive to serve my community in four tiers. The first tier, Scott County High School, is the most immediate to me. In the past year I have established a library of resources solely dedicated to Advanced Placement, SAT, and ACT review materials that any student has access to. I have done this because Scott County High School has the largest Advanced Placement Program in the state of Kentucky, one that I have helped nurture for the past three years through my position as President of Advanced Placement Advisory Council. When the school board refused to allow the

By awarding me the Auxiliary Personnel Scholarship, I am able to concentrate on what is important for me, education. With a deployed husband and my other responsibilities as a mom, student and KISD employee

I am honored and appreciated to have been selected to receive the Jim & Phyl Woodhouse Endowed Scholarship, in the amount of $1000.

I am honored to be a candidate for the National Junior Honor Society. This organization means a lot to me. In elementary school, I hadn’t really put much effort into my work because I didn’t know that it would make such a difference in my life. However, in the fourth grade, I realized that what I did would make an impact on the rest of my education. If I didn’t do well then, I wouldn’t make it into honor classes or AP classes, meaning I couldn’t get the higher education I desired. I then began to work harder and my determination increased. My hard work paid off because during my sixth grade graduation, I was one of two students that received the gold for the President’s Education Awards Program (PEAP). Knowing that all the effort was

I am deserving of the Liado, scholarship. I deserve this prestigious accolade, because I put in an incomparable effort to shed a positive light both on campus and community wide. With leadership positions across my campus, as well as potential positions within my sorority, I strive to incorporate the values learned from being a student and woman, into all my external endeavors as well. I use my Italian lineage, to guide my future, growing up, I have been instilled with the values loyalty, respect and love, and these have become these are the principles in which I formulate my endeavors. I utilize these morals in my positions as our college’s Relay for Life Event Chairperson, Colleges Against Cancer’s Publicity Coordinator, as well as Delta
