My 2016-2017 adventure in Link Crew was life-changing. The experiences I was able to gain are some I will never forget. I want to be in Link Crew, as a senior this time, to continue spreading a message of school unity and support. One of the best parts about going to Souderton is how deeply and wholeheartedly authoritative figures attempt to make everyone who goes here feel welcome; how deeply authoritative figures make students feel like they are part of something bigger than just their family or their tiny circle of friends. I think that’s what everyone craves at the end of the day: to be a part of something. It’s beautiful having a school that provides that feeling and that environment. I think this thought process, my thought process, is
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.
I am honored to be nominated by teachers and fellow peers to become a member of Connect Crew. Ultimately my interest in Connect Crew can be connected to my love in assisting others, however my fascination with Connect crew can be traced way back to my first year. Throughout my freshman year, and especially on my first day at HSHMC I was astonished by the chemistry of the schools community. My first day on campus I was immediately approached and greeted by upperclassmen. I can distinctly remember a very welcoming atmosphere, something I would have never expected going to your typical high school. With this experience, and the help of connect crew I would like to build on the school’s community, and welcome the lowerclassmen into a safe HSHMC
During my 10 years here at Heninger, I’ve seen lots of things happen like new and old students come and go or the way that we all have to work together to create something bigger and better than one man himself can make. I remember the
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’m proud to be a Summit Charter Collegiate Academy, SCCA, bear. When I first enrolled at SCCA as a freshman, the school was nothing but a small, dull institution that focused on academics and nothing else. There were no sports teams, clubs, or school activities. The public viewed the school as a failure and assumed that it was no place for students to grow and experience what high school is like, but SCCA is nothing like the things people say it is. It may be different from the rest of the high schools in Porterville, California, but SCCA is very unique and is genuinely determined to prepare students for the real world. I aspired to do all that I could to make SCCA a better high school, so I joined my school's leadership team, also known as ASB, during my freshman year. Since the moment I joined ASB, I fell in love with the purpose of the organization. I loved to help out the school, and I loved planning events and activities that helped create a better high school experience for all of the students.
When I applied for Link Crew, I wasn’t sure I’d make it into the group. I’m very glad that I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of it. I’ve gained many things such as leadership skills and how to have patience in the most difficult situations.
After disappointing sales, J. Crew is making some big changes. One of the biggest may be replacing their lead designer. Somsack Sikhounmoung will be the new head of design at J. Crew. Somsack was head of design for Madewell, which is a J. Crew brand. The Madewell brand is a success for J. Crew. Madewell's sales were up 33 percent.
The final mast of school and community involvement was catalyzed when I joined Key Club as a freshman. Finding a passion for service and leadership, it rapidly became my primary focus in deepening my high school experience. Key Club inspired me to search for further opportunities for leadership and involvement, leading me to join Student Council, Relay for Life, and so forth. Through my various executive positions, I have not only improved my own character and qualities, but also inspired others around me to do the
This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.
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
First and foremost - my life is dedicated to the service of others. Through my time serving as Parkwood Beta President and the State President of the North Carolina Beta Club, I have understood the importance of a servant’s heart. I have had the honor of being Student Body President and Class President here Parkwood, and during my tenure I provided vital assistance and planning to events that included, Spring Fling, Winterfest, Powderpuff, Teacher Appreciation Week, dances, pep rallies; and, simple facilitation and leadership within the PWHS Student Council at large. Moreover, I have had the great opportunity of serving on the Executive Board of the PTSO for a few years now and served as the student liaison between the PTSO and the school. I had the honor of assisting with the Parkwood Pride 5K,
When thinking about my years after high school, there are many things that come to mind that I look forward to. One of the main reasons I have high hopes for the University of Lacrosse is what I, as an individual can offer this community. I believe that as a student and community member, I can bring not only my talents but passion and dedication for everything that I do. Inside and outside of school I am involved in many activities and leadership positions. I've been part of National Honors Society, Link Crew, and a Figure Skating Teacher for the past few years, and those are just a few. These particular activities have had a tremendous impact on my life. Through these activities, I have learned dedication, responsibility, and prioritization.
From this club I’ve learned people assemble and assisting each other on a project, can be very refreshing. Our club works together, getting certain things accomplished. However; all of us learn the same thing at the same time. I’ve also learned you don’t have to be rewarded for every good thing you do in life, sometimes the most rewarding things are just doing it in the first place. And I participating in theaters and know that I am a helpful person when it comes to helping people remembering their lines. And also I worked at the church café and learned my leadership skills there as well I have also applied it everywhere I go.
All Juniors are eligible to be in GEAR UP and all the great opportunities they have to offer. Some students feel that being in this incredible program is not worth it. However, as I share my experiences with my class either from my trips or with the program, I can encourage them to join. When I went on a trip in the fall with GEAR UP, I was able to experience many things that other students have not experienced yet. When I returned from the trip I was excited that I was able to share my knowledge of colleges with my peers. I also feel that I am a role model for other students. Being that I try to participate in every GEAR UP activity, I want people to follow my path and emulate my actions. This way other people can have the same opportunities as me and we can succeed together. I hope to promote GEAR UP as the great program that it is by my involvement.
I participate in Student Leadership Team at C-Tec. I volunteered at multiple community events such as our annual open house and our schools’ evening of exploration. One of our most important duties is to host student run tours and other events to peak new students’ interest in attending C-Tec. Without our service younger students would never get to experience the unique qualities of C-Tec. I currently have obtained 25 volunteer
