What Is My Work Ethic

Throughout my high school career, I have continuously adhered to the qualities of participation, engagement and leadership through being a good citizen, and have not only begun to impact my local community, but also communities abroad in my state. Active involvement in The Boy Scouts of America has helped develop these qualities I hold and more. My volunteering in county-hosted Christmas events, multiple eagle projects, Brown Bag Ministry, street cleanup, student tutoring, technology assistance, and others has combined to over 160 total service hours in just the span of four high school years. Active citizenship continues to show me different ways of life in my own community and is illuminating. What it also creates is initiative. Through participation with my local fire department, I have been able to identify a need of my community and start to address it. I have volunteered my time for the fire department, and together with the Assistant Fire Chief, we are starting to create a new department website and digital

Engaging with my community is important because I been helping people volunteer around me since middle school and continuing in high school because of the help I received in elementary. I wanted to help the elementary children because of all the support and help that I received. Helping them makes me think of when I needed help and received through people. I mostly helps with volunteering around with little kids in different elementary schools at my school district. I want them to be safe and help them during their hard times. I wanted to help people because I wanted people to understand what they are learning and have a good education. When I’m volunteering I help keep the children safe and cheer them on when they are competing.

In regard to community, I have volunteered for my clubs, DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America), BPA (Business Professionals of America), NTHS (National Technical Honor Society), Cross Country and others. From helping the club itself to representing the club through charitable acts, such as making christmas a little better for military families, or helping at assisted living centers. My parents taught me at a young age how to be a considerate

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

I like to be engaged in activities that contribute to the community. I was part of the Mile of Hope, event used to raise awareness for cancer and fundraise to support the families of those affected. Through my membership in National Honor Society I have contributed in activities such as the annual toy drive to provide children in need with a gift on the holiday of Christmas, I also participated in the annual can food drive to provide families food for a Thanksgiving meal. I volunteered at the Brownsville Public Library assisting the public and organizing books. For a period of time I also volunteered at an income tax company Jackson Hewitt cleaning and organizing the

Actively participating in the betterment of my community is a trait that my family has instilled in me. It not only makes the lives of others better but makes me feel satisfied in providing them that service, that being said I try to help whenever I can and wish to continue doing so for the rest of my life.

Growing up down South, I did not have many academic opportunities, so, therefore, I participated in many clubs at school. To be a part of these clubs, there were certain requirements such as community service and a certain GPA. I have volunteered in several ways, but the main one that meant the most to me was being able to help my community by volunteering at the Community Center, educating and helping students engage in extracurricular activities that kept them interested in their academic courses. All of the clubs that I’ve participated in have always been to help my community inside and outside of school- not only do I volunteer my time to help those in need, but I also volunteer for many leadership roles. One leadership role that I find leaves a lasting impact is that of Boston Student Advisory Council, where I represent my high school and come up with innovative ways to better serve my

I see myself contributing to the fabric of University of Washington’s student body. We are a mixed racial family; my father is Hispanic, and my mother is Caucasian. The pillars of values that define our family and myself are: faith, family, community building, education and service. In that, I believe “you earn tomorrow’s opportunities today”, and that “everyday matters”. I hold a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and I am resilient. I volunteer in multiple organizations such as Bellevue Foursquare Church and district camps. I also volunteered with the Asian Language Pacific School, and took part in the Conversation Buddy Program, in which I used my background in Japanese to help the Japanese community. Additionally, I tutor my peers

As Key Club President, a fourth-year blood drive coordinator, and a University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics volunteer, I witness community service’s influence and encourage high school students to serve

The activities that I have participated in such as the Food Bank volunteer and church volunteer, have made the community around me healthier and united. My participation impacts everyone who needs these help. By showing that the younger generations like mine are interested and is actively seeking to help out the society, people could feel more united and bonded around the community to seek out how we could help them.

At the age of thirteen, I wondered how to make money, and I found a solution. It all started at 5:30 am in August of 2013 outside of Bridgestone Arena, one year after I had been cured from epilepsy with a double craniotomy, which would make me realize life is short, driving my young work ethic. My love for the sport of hockey attracted me to a used gear sale, where I would be able to get some of the Nashville Predators players’ equipment. I took a thousand dollar loan from my mom, which took a little explaining, but she trusted my work ethic. I bought more hockey gear than one could ever need, buying around twenty sticks and five pairs of hockey gloves. After sorting through the gear at my house, I figured I only needed about a fifth of the gear. I took all the extra gear and found a

Ever since I was a young age, my parents have taught me the importance of giving back to my community through community service, and helping others.

Community Activities: I have completed many hours of community service throughout my high school education. Last summer and fall I participated in Summa Health System’s Teen LEAD Volunteer Program. I completed curriculum that focused on Character Education, Career Exploration and Leadership Development. I volunteered in the Internal Medicine Center and the Detox Unit. Also, I am part of my school’s service club, Key Club, where various service projects are organized both afterschool and on the weekends. In addition to the Teen LEAD Program and Key Club, I volunteer in my church as a deacon, bell choir member, volunteer for the children’s program and Habitat for Humanity and I attended a mission trip to Asheville, NC last summer.

Since I was a little kid, I have always wanted to give back to the community that has given me and my family so much. Throughout my whole childhood I have always had the question in my head, how could I actually help and make a difference in my community? I always knew that I wanted to do something that would make the community in which I live in a better one, but I never seemed to put in the time and effort that is necessary to really make a difference. When I entered high school and things started to get much more serious for me, I knew it was time to turn my thoughts into actions. During the middle of my freshman year, I started to search for something or someone that could help me turn the many hopes I had into actions. Although the various clubs in MCDS are all amazing and unique in their own ways, I never felt the urge to spend countless numbers of hours trying to become the president of any given

Giving back to my community have always been an oath to me, it provides satisfaction that I can make a difference no matter how young I am. Each person should leave the world a little better than how they found it because it takes a leader to influence others. Leadership is a moral grit that I posses not only does it starts a movement or an activism but it can save others in an unbelievable way. In my community, one act of kindness leads to a ripple effect that can touch anybody to a fellow classmate who is going through depression to the people in the nursing home who values my company. In each community project I’ve been involved in, I do not wish to be recognized but rather influence others by the difference I had made. I once spoke to
