Also, as seniors we have two seventh grade kids that we mentor. I do this because I remember how hard it was being a seventh grader and not really knowing much about high school. Once a week we sit down and talk with the children. I always love the stories they have to tell and I truly feel blessed when I can help with anything they are struggling with.

One volunteer project I enjoyed doing was becoming a peer helper. I hated seeing many of my classmates struggle with math and science. They knew if they didn’t pass the class they couldn’t graduated. So instead of letting them fail I took time out of my day and tutored many students in subjects like algebra, geometry, and chemistry. When I was helping my peers I did my best to find their inner confidence towards wanting to be successful. I believed this is what made me a true leader, because I didn’t allow my peers to become failures.

In other words, it shaped the person that I am today and will be for the rest of my life.

    Over the four years that I have spent at Good Counsel, I became part of many activities. Each helping me evolve as a person and become stronger yet. Simple lists could be made of every activity that I have ever been involved in but it could never express to a person what I have learned and how it helped me to grow. Every environmental club, science club, political science club, service work, and S.A.D.D. club I was part of had a very special message to deliver to me. Whether the message was one of responsibility, or a life lesson, I grew from it. The Political Science club opened me to many new experiences. It allowed me the chance to attend the Model U.N., where I was asked to address today's top world issues. This club was very beneficial to me because I was exposed to topics and ideas that I had not previously been able to discuss or learn about in a classroom situation. The science club allowed for me to experience extra educational situations as well. I took part in a hovercraft competition, which was very educational while also allowing me the chance to work with others for a common goal.

Being in Big Pals-Little Pals I have learned more than just leadership, responsibility, or accomplishment; I have gotten the chance to have someone that doesn't have much in life, look up to me. Responsibility is the ability to respond to a person that makes a demand on us (Messmore, p. 723). Being a role model to someone that is so much younger than I am gave me a feeling of pride. I became a Big-Pal because when I was growing up I didn't have a perfect childhood, and I know that the kids that are in this program are in it for a reason. If I can give back to just one person and make there childhood a little more memorable, a little more fun, and give them just a little more than what they were getting then that is all I needed to apply for the program.
