Event Analysis: Crosspointe Christian Academy

At the beginning of the year I helped set up for the chapter banquet and helped do opening ceremonies with the conduct team. This was when I was elected chapter reporter.

As the president of the 1st Clarkson Venture Company, I organized meetings, camping trips, volunteer opportunities and teaching sessions with the Beaver, Cub and Scout sections of our group.

“I am angry because of your behavior, and I can not make jokes with you.” my mom said, “I am not mean to you, I just want you to be as thin as you can. Guys all like thin girls, so I hope that you can show your beauty during your youth.”

Everyone enjoys the sweet taste of victory and the feeling of accomplishing a goal, especially in a video game. However, video games are not just about winning. Video games are a good method to enhance our educational experience and create a career pathway for us to take. By creating a video game course within schools around the world, we are able to create a whole new generation and future that incorporates the advanced technology that is constantly improving.

Central Idea: Focusing on how games are incorperated in peoples lives by viewing the time spent playing, relationships through video games, how video games are for all people, and the social aspect that is incorperated in the video games.

Serving as a leader for my group for History Fair has really helped me improve my organization and communication skills. We faced many conflicts because my group and I had many ideas and different point of views and I had to be able to bring those ideas together into one functional project. My job as a leader was also to assign different jobs to the members of the group to make it fair to everyone and divide the work equally. At the beginning there were also many conflicts deciding the topic of the project so we decided to pick a group leader and by everybody’s vote I took the position.

I have extensive experience planning and coordinating events. Currently, I am a Program Committee Chair Member for the African American Alumni Society at the University of San Francisco (USF). As a Chair Member, I am responsible for coordinating special events, most recently, the society 's spring event the Black Alumni Mixer at the San Francisco Press Club. We did not have a theme, but our goal was to encourage alumni to reconnect and to donate at least $10, to the African American USF scholarship fund. The budget for this event was $5,000. This budget included food and the venue to host 50 alumni. My role included finding venues, and sending invitations to alumni. Over 100 alumni attended the Black Alumni Mixer, and we raised over $2,000. Additional duties as Chair include recruiting, engaging and encouraging Alumni to participate in university events as volunteers and attend alumni events.

I have been a part of numerous groups throughout my high school FFA career, class officer and my time as a member of 4-H. Many of the groups I have been a part of have been very successful and productive. I am the former president of a 4-H horse club called Trailblazers. We host an annual Ultimate Horsemen’s Challenge Association, UHCA, race as a fundraiser. With great organizational skills, planning and overall politeness when speaking with potential sponsors, Trailblazers has hosted one of the most attended in the entire season for riders in the UHCA circuit. Over the last three years, our number of horse and riders has almost doubled in size, our selection of prizes has expanded thanks to loyal sponsors, and we have such an increase enough

Then again, Christy volunteered to do all those things. Group members asked her if she wanted any help, and if she was sure that she didn't need the extra hand. In other words, to me it seemed like she wanted to bear all the weight on her shoulders. Christy wasn't appointed or elected. No one challenged her as she took on the position of leader in the group; therefore I assumed that no one had a problem with it. The leadership style that I thought the group conformed to was the democratic style. Christy, being the leader, approached us as a group about the views that were laid out on the table, and we chose which idea that was consistent with our presentation style. Each member was allowed to express his or her opinions freely, and I had enough trust in Christy to know which idea would or wouldn't work. Another way of explaining the scale of leadership is this by comparing it to the rank of power in the American Government. Christy is president, Daniel is Vice-President, Allison is the Secretary of State, and Brian is Secretary of Defense. I can't judge where I fit in there because that wouldn't be fair to me group members if I rank my self higher than what I really was.

The script of the event will speak highly of the Car Insurance from State Farm and describe how the game will be performed. The game is best played with lots of participants but for the sake of this promotion, we will use any student or fan that is eligible to win. I would have a maximum of ten students, but no less than six. Each student will have a basketball depending on a number of people we have to participant in the event, they will have a restricted area of where they can only dribble in. Stepping out of the area would cause them to be out of the game. The way to win this game is to be the last “car” standing. The only way to win this game is by attempting to swipe every other participant ball out. The winner will receive fan gear from State Farm and a hundred dollars Visa gift card, while each of the losers will receive a twenty-dollar Visa gift card as a thank you for participating in the

Due to my internship interest with The Helpers Organization I was already in contact with the CEO and president of the organization, Antwan Staton. I expressed my interest in assisting the organization’s fundraiser and inquired about the process of joining the fundraiser committee. I decided I would assist with the California Pizza Kitchen Fall Wine Tasting. The goal that we set was $5,500. We decided to name it Fall Wine Tasting and host it at California Pizza Kitchen, it was located in MacArthur

The premise would be that the hospitals themselves will host the tournaments with the children doing the play. These live streams will put the children as the heroes of the stream. We will highlight their specific struggles and use the gameplay to show they are just normal kids who want to live a normal life. Money raised in these streams will go towards getting all children in the hospitals gaming systems. This is a cause everyone can get behind and will create a lot of online good will with gamers. At the same time this gives the children a chance to be in the spotlight and just feel like kids again despite everything that is going on in their lives. This will naturally draw attention to their already excellent content they have on their YouTube channels. These charities rely heavily on their message being shared on social media, and gamers love sharing content online.

I am responsible for assisting with creating and/or editing the sponsor documents, including sponsorship levels packet and sponsor emails. Other tasks for the semester involve reaching out to Research Park on campus and seeing if anyone is interested in funding the team as well as finding a potential food sponsor to help motivate members to attend Monday meetings (hopefully Papa Johns!). As always, we are extending our sights to part sponsors, especially with the Eddy Current Dyno. The MechSE department just recently released an email explaining the requirements to achieve funding--which involves creating a promotional video--so I might be part of that if the team decides to participate.

Imagine a large arena filled with two competitive teams. The tension grows and finally, one team prevails and is greeted by stupendous amounts of cheering. There are a wide variety of video games that are popular worldwide, and are played by many different people. Video games, and gaming in general, should be considered to be added in the many sport selections because of how similar it is to any other sport: how pro players that get paid, and how a lot of talent is necessary to play.

The Video game crash of 1983 was a historical event that changed how society looked at games, and how they were handled. We chose this topic because, without this event most of the games that occurred after this event would never have existed thus changing the gaming industry and effect most male's lives (Demographic Gamers). Our research process inquired us to look at different sites accurate enough for the data we have acquired to use in our project. We chose the Documentary as our presentation category because, we decided to talk about events that took place during the event occurred and we have had experience with making videos.
