Unit 1 Assignment 1 Student Government Organization

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

My junior year of high school I had decided that I would get more involved in school activities. I had been a member of both HOSA, a medical club that focuses on competitions and INTERACT, a club that embraces different cultures and people as well as focusing on helping out the community. I became deeply invested and passionate in both of these clubs. I decided I no longer wanted to be just a member. I wanted to have a say in the decision process and events for the following year so I ran for officer elections in both.

As a young woman who strives to make a difference both locally and globally, I know that membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will aid in accomplishing my life long goals. The emphasis this organization places on assisting and supporting others through the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust, is truly a reflection of the public service initiatives that I make an effort to take part in. The opportunity to form a lifelong bond with other college educated women, who share some of the same morals and beliefs as I do, is phenomenal. I know that membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will mean taking that initiative to become a part of something that’s bigger than myself, because I certainly can’t take on the world alone. The incredible

It was not until after I became an initiated sister to Delta Zeta that I truly got involved. One night during Chapter our President at the time started to discuss all the different positions that were available for the upcoming year. While listening to this list one position in particular caught my eye, it was a position to be the sisterhood chair, which includes planning enjoyable events that all the sisters want to be apart in. I love creating, planning, and organizing so sisterhood chair was the right position for me. During my time in this position I planned a cook out, a trip to the haunted corn maze, sisterhood retreat, and much more. This year I applied to be our Chapters VP of Programs with in this position I make our calendar for the

I will be an asset to the sorority as I am an asset to this world. I strive to motivate, educate and inspire through my volunteer work and leadership. My strong work ethic helps me balance my school work with my extracurricular activities, including Strange Fruit Dance Company, Love United Gospel Choir, Women’s Media Group, and Women’s Coordinating Council. I also find it important to give back with the University of

I have been involved with in our school and our community. In our school I was nominated for head of Prom committee this year. This position is quite stressful but I would not have it any other way. I enjoy being able to help and put my mark on it for our school. I brainstorm for fundraisers, activities, and small jobs our class can do to raise money. I also get to choose our revenue, theme for prom, and decorations. I do all of this within out tight budget. I

I have been in a few school activities. One of the main activities that I have been involved in is Color guard. Since my sophomore year, I have been on the guard and participating in all of the competitions with the band. It is a great way to get involved, make new friends, and create new experiences. I am also in my school’s National Honor Society which is an organization that consists of the top academic scholars. We do volunteer work and do activities that display integrity. We have done blood drives as well as packaged food for Kids Against Hunger. That is another organization that people can do to help package food for children across seas that don’t have any source of nourishment. I am an active thespian which is a group of sorts that is dedicated to the fine arts. I have been one since my freshmen year and have been either stage manager or assistant stage manager for two plays and three musicals. My junior year as well as this year I was involved in National

The only extracurricular activity I am a part of as of now, is Key club. I am an active member and commit approximately 20 hours of community service a semester. In Middle School I was a part of NJHS, Student Congress, and WEB (middle school equivalent to Link Crew). Within the next year, I plan on joining NHS as well as Link Crew.

Within the collage I have had the opportunity to represent the school as Junior School Captain and Class leader. I have also been lucky enough to be involved in the Student Ambassador and Peer Support program, working closely with many other leaders within the school. The most relevant position I have held is Gwynton house leader this year. I have learnt so much from this position by assisting and learning from our current leaders Josh and Laura and also by taking charge in some situations and leading the group

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

Sorority girls aren’t all about the parties, the pictures and how good we look. Each sorority has its own values they follow. We all believe in sisterhood, philanthropies, social networking, community services, and opportunities. In philanthropies, we spend time sharing awareness and raising money for a good cause. Doing community service is voluntary work to help out our community.

Among the organizations and clubs at Joliet Junior College, the Natural Sciences Club and JJC's Honors Program are the ones that I am involved in. For the Natural Sciences Club, I participate by attending meetings and going on scientific field trips with the club. My participation with JJC's Honors Program is mostly through attending the program's forums. Outside of school, I help out at my local Assemblies of God church in Joliet. Currently, I am volunteering as an assistant choreographer to a dance crew from Joliet First Assembly's youth group.

I’m involved in Pet Club, National Honors Society, Medical Club, Interact Club, 4H, I swim and last year, I was on the golf team. One thing I love the most in this world, is 4H. I was president of my club for two years, vice president before that and secretary and historian; so I’ve held office five out of the six years since I been in my club.

I am in a MYAC, which stands for Mayors Youth Advisory Council, and we make service projects, for example, a coat driver for a village that needs more warm clothes for the winter, or a food drive for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am involved in student council,cheerleader, and I also play the flute in the symphonic band. My mother is in charge of an abundance of health fairs, which gives me the opportunity to help my mom set up and also talk at the workshops; furthermore, she is also in charge of Circus Camp, which I work at during the summer for 2 weeks, and it is really fun teaching kids about being healthy and learning circus

Samaraim Jaimes has been volunteering for the past two weeks with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. She has completed a total of 16 hours (8 hours each week). She helps out with whatever is needed to get done for the club/organization. Some of the tasks that she has helped with are: cleaning and organizing the closet where we keep all of our belongings, filing papers, answering emails, and promoting the organization by posting posters around campus and passing flyers to students.
