Student Council Research Paper

I am a member of my high school’s student council, Girl Scouts, and also the chaplain of my school’s drama club.

As surprising as it may sound, I have been doing community service since the sixth grade and it is a new experience each time. It all began with a community clean up known as 'Keep McAllen Beautiful' as we got there everyone seemed excited to be there. It was beautiful to see such unity inside of my community, and I decided from then on that I would like continue helping out where it is needed. As I joined the National Honor Society my chances of providing my services increased, and I decided that I would assume a position of leadership when needed. I became the society's president, which allowed me to develop my time management skills, creativity, and efficiency. I organized an fundraiser for the hurricane Harvey disaster victims where all

My working experience started last year when I started to babysit in the spring. I have also secured a summer job at a restaurant. Volunteering around school and in my community is a major part of service that I have attained since my freshman year in high school. I am part of the Lasallian Youth Core Team which is a step higher than to those who volunteer once in awhile. In Lasallian Youth, we are responsible to help organize volunteer projects in our community or at school. I am also a part of student government and the international club. For student government, I am the co-commissioner of spiritual life and for the international club I am the secretary. As the co-commissioner of spiritual life, my duties are to help our school minister plan and organize Masses. This duty also reaches out to students at our school to participate in Masses. For the rest of student government I help set up dances, organize fundraising events, and collect input from our student body. Our international club brings all the foreign exchange students together to participate in American traditions and express their own culture to our student body. I am also part of National Honors Society. In the National Honors Society students help organize fundraising events and give extra service back to the

For those you who do not know me, I am Carissa Dorval and I am running for the position of Executive Board Treasurer. There are many reasons why I would make a great addition to the Student Council team. Over the past three years I have held many roles that needed me to posses leadership skills such as, Sophomore Class Treasurer, and being a member of Spirit Committee. Being Sophomore Class Treasurer, and a member of the Spirit Committee has given me the skills I would need succeed as a member of the Executive Board. My role as Class Treasurer last year has given me experience planning all of the activities that student council has authority over such has Toys-for-Tots and Field Day and my involvement in Spirit Committee has given me experience

I am going for the position of either commissioner of community service, sports, or clubs. I have been in ASB for a year and it has been a memorable and great experience in which I have learned so much and continue to do so. During that time, I was and still am commissioner of community service and it still continues to be my main selection. I am qualified because I am committed and have worked very hard to make sure I continue doing my job properly meanwhile still doing my job as an ASB member in anything that we may be working on at the moment. I always update my Community Service bulletin board in the Higher Ed. Center as often as I can and when the dates pass. There is always community service opportunities that I have looked for myself

Though I haven’t had the most involvement in extracurricular activities, I have been trying to turn that around. I joined FCCLA at the start of freshman year. FCCLA was an excellent experience to improve my leadership skills, as well as getting engaged with the school and community. This ranged from helping out with school activities, to collecting and organizing books to be donated to children, and crafting dog beds to donate to the Cedar Valley Humane Society. I ended up not resigning up for FCCLA the following year due to my dealing with a difficult death in my family. However, since then I have gotten stronger and want to expand my community involvement. For that reason, I joined Student Council after the end of my junior year. As a representative, I help in school activities and decision-making. Though I’m a newer member, I’m excited to be a part of the Student Council. I have also recently joined the Science National Honor Society. I was able to join this club because of my accomplishments in science. I doubled up biology and chemistry my sophomore year, challenged myself by taking AP Chemistry my junior year, and am currently enrolled in the Pharmacology Technician program at Kirkwood as a senior. I am eager to see guest speakers and have already signed up for a couple of community service activities in this

I think I should be in the Junior Honor Society. I have met the requirements to receive this opportunity. I would not let this opportunity to waste. I care for the community and do what ever service to help it out. I help do services for the library when they need it. For example on March 10,2017, I helped make capes for sick kids and then gave them happy birthday cards for the birthday kids. I help out my community by helping people shovel their driveway. Like some of my neighbors can't do it so I ask if I can do it for them for free. I look out for people to make sure they are ok. I am a captain of a football team because of my great leadership skills that can be useful. I put effort and time into my work. Around the house I am a role model

Over the past year, I have served my school and community in many different ways. Whether it be through volunteering or participating in organizations that work to make changes in the lives of others. I try to stay involved in my environment. Currently, I am a student at Rockford Lutheran High School. With the multitude of clubs, my school offers, I am able to interact with other club members to promote student participation. Every year we participate in drives and fundraisers. In Key Club, each year we put together solider boxes. We collect a variety of small items and send hand packaged boxes to our fighting soldiers, as a gift for christmas. Other drives that I partake in are the canned food drives for the local food pantries, and the clothing drives to give winter clothing to those less fortunate. This helps to provide this vulnerable population with warmth during the cold winter months.

I am the treasurer for both the National Honor Society and Student Council. I love these organizations because I can better my school and my community and be a positive leader. Because of NHS I have over 60 community service hours. One of the most rewarding things (projects) this year, was getting to be a “stringer” for the “Panola Watchman” (the local newspaper) and writing a sports column. It was pretty exciting watching the games,collecting information and seeing my name in the paper every

During my Junior year at Colfax High School, I was recruited into a new program called Link Crew which is a freshman transition program that welcomes incoming freshmen and makes them feel comfortable and supported throughout the first year of high school. This program was not only a club but also a class called Wings in which we would precisely plan Academic Follow Up's (AFU) for the freshmen, and organize events such as a Haunted House and a Blood Drive for the whole school. Also during my Junior year, I joined the Leo's Club which is a student run club that's purpose is to perform service projects within our school and community. I was able to become a certified volunteer of Colfax and Meadow Vista once I had not only met, but exceeded the minimum of 35 hours of volunteer work. Outside of school, I became interested in snowboarding which allowed me to get a seasonal job at a Ski

I am in Quiz Bowl which has allowed me to learn new information and connect with other kids from different schools. Pep Club is another great opportunity. We decorate for the homecoming dance and plan activities and dress-up days. We collect pennies, nickels, and quarters and donated the money raised to the local food pantry to help with their expenses. This year I am currently serving as a student council member. We help set up Winter Carnival games, pick out dress-up days for homecoming, and help seat people at graduation. Last spring, I was inducted into our school’s NHS chapter. Being in NHS allows me the opportunity to assist our local Lions Club with community service projects. These community service projects allow me to be involved and give back to the community. I have been recently voted to be a student representative of the school board. I am excited to learn how the board makes decisions for our staff and students. I also get to participate in discussion and share my opinion on current issues we are dealing with. A new activity that I just started in September is Battle of the

Throughout my past four years in high school, I have had the opportunity to maintain leadership positions in various organizations, including Spanish Honor Society and Drama Club. These groups have allowed me to be involved my school and community. I have organized various events including a stuffed animal drive in which we brought almost 1,000 donations of stuffed animals to the Pembroke Pines Police Department

Unit 10 was a closure for the previous four units in the process of inventing Canada. This unit based on the earliest resources on Canadian history and on the first nations whom lived in this country. This resources were about pre-Cartier and his explorations. Some nations, for example the people who lived in St. Lawrence valley – whom did not have a specific name to be called at- and historians still lacking enough evidence on their existence or what happened with them. These people who are identified as St. Lawrence Iroquoians were lived in the contact area which means the conquerors reached them first. The Iroquoians were exposed to all the dangers Europeans carried into the native lands, different types of diseases they were not immune

I would like to apply for the role as the 9th grade student council representative because I feel, with my peers’ ideas as well as my own, we could create a comfortable, open environment for our school’s community. By having me as their voice, this will allow them to contribute their ideas that has the potential to create a pleasant environment in which we spend most of our days learning. In addition, I personally want to become more involved in this schools’ atmosphere to better my relationships as well as a variety of different skills. Overall, I feel like I could represent my grade’s thoughts and words to better effect the learning and environment of our school.
