I attend Miller City High School in Miller City, Ohio. Throughout high school I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. I have also taken college credit classes. These classes include Introduction to Speech, General Anatomy and Physiology, Physiology, Introductory Composition, Intermediate Composition, Drawing, American Government, Economics and Current Issues, General Psychology, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. In high school I have participated in soccer, cheerleading, and softball at the varsity level. I was the the Co-Captain for my schools soccer team and cheerleading squad. Playing sports for my school has taught me a lot about myself and my teammates. As soon as one sport came to an end the next began immediately. This meant continuous practices, games, …show more content…
My freshman year I was on the Student Council where I helped organize and plan events for the high school. I have been the class president for the past three years. As the class president I have organized fundraisers, planned prom, made decisions about our class trip to New York, been in charge of concessions (to raise money), and have began making decisions and decorating for graduation. Being the class president has come with the stress of constantly being busy and making hard decisions, but I would not change it for world. The responsibilities have taught me how to stay organized, make difficult choices, and to be confident in what I am doing. I also love the pride I feel when I accomplish a huge project. I have also been a member of my high schools National Honor Society for the past two years. As a member I have had the opportunity to help raise money, donate, volunteer at blood drives, and clean up our school. I love knowing that I am making a difference for others. In high school I have also been a member of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions). I have also been a member of the MC Yearbook for the past two years. I have also taken on the position of Editor this year. I love knowing that I am a part of making something that people will view for years to
I have been a four year letter-winner in volleyball and basketball. Athletics have been a crucial part of developing my character and work ethic. In sports, you must work together with your team to reach your goals. Trust and communication skills are vital and are tested every day. The failure and setbacks I have faced through sports have helped me to believe in myself and have the self-confidence that it takes to be successful in athletics and in life. As a senior captain of the volleyball and basketball teams, my leadership has improved tremendously as high school has progressed. Being a leader holds me accountable and I aim to be a role model for younger teammates on the court, in the classroom, and in the community.
My participation in high school sports have made me into leader as well as helped me gain relationships with friends that will last a lifetime. It has also taught me to rely on the people around me and work together with your team to accomplish your goals. Being a part of a sports team has also influenced my decision making because in order to participate on the team you have to have good behavior, and be a good student
Being only 18 years old, I believe that I have accomplished a lot within my small amount of time on this earth. For me, the high school experience was not simply going to school, completing the schoolwork and repeating that day to day. For me, high school was about making tangible memories. It is within extracurricular actives that I found myself as a leader and honed in on my planning and organizational skills. National Honor Society(NHS) has played a tremendous part in this. NHS stands for its four pillars - scholarship, leadership, service, and character. It is through these four pillars that I have felt myself grow as a person and have found many opportunities to shine as a leader. This year, I was elected the President of our National
I was on the AMS Battle of The Books team, which won the county competition and continued to Regionals. Since sixth grade, I have been included in the Honor Society and have maintained a high honor roll for three years. Currently, I am the vice president of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). Athletic wise, I was on the volleyball team in both seventh and eighth grade. Education is not all about fun and games, there is hard work and strong commitment involved.
I’ve been involved with sports since I was 2 years old, participating in these taught me more than the sports themselves; they taught me who I am. I put in countless hours of gymnastics practice, so many that the majority of kids couldn’t imagine the dedication needed to become a state and national champion. It taught me a few of the most vital lessons that I will ever learn; to contribute 100 percent in everything I do and to balance various aspects of my life. Gymnastics also taught me perseverance, how to work harder to achieve a goal, no matter how difficult.
As a child I was not in to many sports or involved in school activities. Going through high school I figured out that being involved in a sport or a school club would make my high school experience better. The first and only sport I chose to do was track. Track changed my whole high school experience and life. I learned to never give up, and it kept me out of trouble throughout my four years of high school.
I’ve always been the type of person that truly enjoys athletics and have participated in nearly all sports offered to me. I started playing sports in elementary with club softball and basketball. As I entered my middle and high school years I was able to add the school sanctioned sports to my list of activities. This afforded me the opportunity of competing in volleyball, basketball, golf, track and softball. The camaraderie and life lessons of sports seemed invaluable to me.
This is when I decided to try and become a member of the student council. I was elected and soon loved it. My school is very important to me and I wanted to do my very best to make it the best possible high school experience for not only me, but every student that attends White Bear Lake. I found that was helpful to have many different views on the council, and I think I brought a new view that was not accounted for before. Being a hockey captain my senior year, I was elected to be in Leadership Academy. This group meets and talks about how to most effectively lead our sports teams as well as the school. This is very important to me because as a leader I want to set the best example possible for my peers and this group allows me to improve my leadership skills to make them even better. I value this program very much because I think it will help me to succeed in the future, because these skills are lifelong skills to have. I have also became a math tutor for my classmates. Being a tutor is very important to me because it allows me to share my knowledge and help
Each game, my passion grew. Each team, new memories and lifelong friends were made. Sports sometimes make me feel disappointment and at loss; but it taught me to be resilient to a lot of things, like how to thrive under pressure and come out on top. Being the team captain of my high school’s football and lacrosse team showed me how having a big responsibility to bring a group together to work as one is compared to many situations in life. Currently playing varsity football, varsity lacrosse, and track I take great pride in the activities I do. Staying on top of my academics, being duel enrolled at Indian River State College, working three nights a week, and two different sport practices after school each day shaped my character to having a hard work
Presidential campaigns are a crucial time in a democratic country—a time to carefully consider what it is that matters to us, the populace, and who we feel is most fit to represent us. We choose a leader that we hope will address the issues we deem important as well as serve the best interests of the country. We have to try to look above the partisan lines and look at the candidate’s character to choose someone that is truly up to the task. It is critically important that our elected president possess certain attributes in order to lead effectively. Some of those attributes, in my opinion, are humility, confidence, and honesty.
All throughout school I have always held a title, in fifth grade I was President, sixth, seventh, eighth and freshmen year I was Vice President of Beta club, sophomore year I was class Treasurer, and Junior year I became secretary of both Student Council and the Junior class. Although I had previous experience in all titles my Senior year was where I gained the most knowledge and responsibility.
This limited my view but I was a home body. I also played club volleyball. Club volleyball is team that you try out for every year and the team that you get on will travel to other places to play other teams. You would play in tournaments the whole day and your team would try to win the whole tournament. If you win the whole tournament of course you would get the title but also you would get a specialized T-shirt for that tournament. The experience I received from that was great plus college coaches would come and watch you play especially if you contacted them and told them you were playing that day and where. The two reasons I decided to play club volleyball is because I had fun and I met new, different friends each team that I would get on. The different teams and coaches would later on shape my character as
In my school, I am involved with Student Council, Student Voice, Social Committee, our School’s Musicals, DECA, and several other clubs and leadership initiatives. Outside of school, I take part in many
When I was offered the position of running for Class President, my head was immediately was flooded with thoughts. I wasn't even aware of the officer position until recently, let alone a presidential position! I think that the student body should be more informed and more involved in their grade, whether it be sport games, school clubs, or more school spirit. I think the upcoming junior class has so much potential to be the best junior class that Kingwood High School has ever seen. As a Class Officer/President, I would like to raise awareness of all departments, and make Junior year the most enjoyable year of high school.
During high school I participated in dance team, football and basketball cheerleading, marching band, color guard, concert band, jazz band, pep band, choir, select choir, drama, Resistance Skills Leaders, National Honor Society, GSA, Skills, Big Buddy, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and speech. I always had something to do, and I enjoyed staying busy. Participating helped me find a place in school. In big school participating gives you a new group of friends. Perry is not very big, so everyone that I was on a team with, I already knew. Doing all of the extra curricular activities that I did, really helped me develop strong emotional bonds with many people that I knew. It taught me to encourage others and that positive reinforcement will always work better than punishments. It showed me that being a leader isn’t about because the person with all of the ideas or the most vocal person, but being the person that inspires others to be creative and help share their thoughts and to lead them in the right direction.
