Essay on Junior Class President at County High

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.

During 8th grade at Howard D. McMillan Middle, I believed one person could make a difference if they just set their mind to do so. Our school had many restrictions and few student activities. Early that year I became interested in Student Government (S.G.) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), so I decided to run for President of both clubs hoping to make a change.

I think I should be considered for a membership for the National Junior Honor Society or NJHS because I am a different individual with a dream. My dream is to fulfill my parents dream and make them proud. My parents have done so much for me and they deserve to be repaid. My parents want me to go to a good college and graduate

Throughout my life I always thought the little things that we do to help people in our community are the things that made the biggest difference. I learned in church one day on a Sunday about how to improve ourselves to get closer to God. The pastor said that we are so busy with our daily activities that sometimes we get distracted on things that matter the most. Sometimes even though we might be busy, we should just take a brief moment to help others in need. That is why I find community service important because you are not just building our career we are also building our character as a leader and as a citizen.

On behalf of Beaufort Middle School, myself, Dr. Tomon and The Faculty Council we congratulate you and your student on being selected for membership to the Beaufort Middle School Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. The NJHS is a program that celebrates the success of many of our hardest working students, based upon academic achievement as well as the demonstration of outstanding character, service, leadership, and citizenship. These criteria for selection form the foundation upon which the organization and its activities are built. Members of NJHS take pride in their accomplishments and work diligently toward the goal of attaining a superior education and contributing to their school and community. They do their best to provide positive role models for their peers.

Union Hill Elementary School is embedded in an area of rich history in the City of Worcester. Their school building was built following the Civil War and has withstood the changes of time from its early years of a primarily Jewish Immigrant and merchant town to today’s urban neighborhood, rich in diversity but plagued with instability, crime and poverty. In March of 2010, Union Hill was identified as a Level IV School; it was a school that lacked structure with a chaotic environment with many deficits. There was a lack of supervision, schedule, standard-based curriculum, effective instruction and leadership. Most importantly, there was a lack of trust among the parents. They did not have the faith that Union Hill was going to give their children the best education possible. Under the supervision of new Principal Marie Morse, changes were made. There was a new level of commitment and passion among the school staff that drove them toward creating five areas of focus for the year:

In seventh grade I was a candidate for Team Cougar Representative. The two weeks we had to campaign were the longest two weeks of my life. I worked so hard making posters and trying to impress everyone to get the maximum amount of votes. I ran against several sweet girls and close friends, which was very stressful and emotional for me. Even though I had fears of losing, I didn’t let anything stop me. While I endeavored this new goal, I realized all the love and support I receive from my family and friends and it’s because of their encouragement that I am where I

During this school year, I have dedicated myself and my time to ensuring the success of the State High National Honor Society's first year by serving as club treasurer; I now hope to continue my efforts as president in my senior year. Because State High did not have an NHS chapter until the spring of last year, there existed no precedent for how the club should be run. The four other officers and I began meeting in August to make decisions regarding service projects, monthly meetings, finances, general logistics, and more. We planned the induction ceremony, including from the speeches we would deliver to the food we would serve. At the beginning of the year, I established a journal of transactions/budget for the NHS based on formal accounting

The Voter Guide Release Party was a non-partisan political event encouraging the community to vote, while also providing the necessary resources and knowledge which would prepare citizens for the upcoming election. MOVE is the nonprofit civic organization that hosted the event. The event had a successful turnout. I recall a person commenting "Wow, this place is bumpin'!" before sliding into a small gap between two people, then vanishing into the mingling crowd. The space was filled with people eager to be involved with the upcoming election. The age range varied, but everyone was either eighteen or older. The event also highlighted a journalist and writer who wrote a book regarding the importance of voter participation.

That really meant a lot to me, so after I was elected I wanted to make sure I did everything right. One of my first challenges was actually deciding whether or not to go to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. Our FFA goes on that trip every other year. I went to the last National Convention my freshman year just for fun, but this year I felt that I had a duty to go along and be a leader for our chapter by being involved. The problem is, last year I was on the varsity volleyball team. National Convention was at the same time that regional volleyball games were starting. I didn’t know what to choose – the volleyball team that I loved and had been committed to for three months already, or the organization that chose me to be their leader? I really didn’t know what to do. I finally chose to go with the FFA to Indianapolis. It would give me a chance to practice my leadership skills and get to know our FFA chapter better. I still felt like I was letting my team and coach down, but I felt more committed to FFA.

I practiced for many hours for jazz band so I we could be good at state jazz. State jazz ment a lot to me because I love jazz band; it was time state jazz and I had never played as good as I did that day. We took home second place in state jazz, it was a hard contest that year. With jazz band coming to an end and concert band coming to an end it was time to start planning the band banquet. The band banquet is a banquet at the end of the year to celebrate the entire year in a dressy fashion. It took a few months to plan everything out and get the funding together. My family and I made all the decorations for the banquet, it took about two weeks to make everything and we still where making stuff on the day of the banquet. After getting everything up it was time for me to get ready. I bought a new dress shirt and a new suit jacket and tie I was looking fly. We made a photo booth for the banquet and that was a huge success with everyone, they loved it. The banquet was very nice and I got lots of compliments on everything. My band directors said it was the best banquet in 7 years. I was very happy with how everything turned out; it was a great end to my senior

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

Both were filling bags full of weapons and explosives. Then they were on their way to Columbine High School. It was a warm spring day, most of the students were outside enjoying the day while they were on their lunch break. At 11:19 a freshman named, Kelly Fleming was outside with some friends. The students in the cafeteria thought it was a normal school day until they heard gunshots. As they looked outside, they saw Kelly lying on the ground dead. She had been shot four times. Then it was time, the attack on Columbine had begun

The education habits of students are rooted in them from the earliest days of their educational careers. The different influences on students, whether it be inside educational institutions, or outside is huge. The teacher of a classroom is the first and most pertinent influence in a student's educational career. Teachers provide students with the basic skills they would need to survive not only in the academic world, but also the world beyond. The relationship between teachers and their students is the key element in creating an educational atmosphere that is both pleasant and effective.
