1.) What school activities have you participated in while middle school? In middle school I have participated in as many school activities as I possibly could. First of all, in 6th and 7th grade I was part of Student Council. In Student Council we worked on projects to improve the school, participated in community service, and fundraised to help others. One project I took a big role in was the Olympia recycles project. Secondly, I have been part of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) for 2 years now. Members of the National Junior Honor Society were chosen based on their outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. In NJHS we organize a lot of fun events that will interest others and we do …show more content…

Also, for 3 years now I have been part of the RIT program. I really like this program as it provides workshops that allow for development of new skills and are really creative of incorporating outside of school situations. Next, I was part of the Math League this current year. In the Math League selected students taking math classes of grades 9-12 represent their school and compete against other schools once every month. Team members each bring the team points individually and at the end of that semester there is a final meet in which awards are distributed. I would like to continue to be part of this program until the end because it was really fun and I had incredible successes. A school sport I have participated in is modified track for 2 years now. I really enjoy track, although I am not the best at sports I still like to get involved and I know I can improve. As you can see, I have been involved in a lot of school activities and many more and I look forward to get even …show more content…

I look up to them because they are a more realistic example of my goals. They are really successful in school and I would like to be the same way. Although they aren't perfect they share the same life conditions with me and we have amazing memories together. As I previously shared, I am the president of middle school and a key reason I got interested in this role was because my oldest sister Gyuzel. She was the president of her class the junior year of highschool and shared her experiences with me. Also, my other sister Leyla has really encouraged me to join the math team. In fact, my first year of being in the math league I had overcome all 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders and being the only 8th grader on the Greece Olympia team I took the same tests as everyone else including my sisters and brought the most points to our school. So after participation of months I was awarded the certificate of being the most valuable math league member and proudly represented my school and family. I was the youngest math league member ever to get this award at Olympia and a important reason for that was that as 3 sisters we all supported each other and they were still proud of me, even though I got it and they didn’t. There personalities are another reason that makes them my role models. Last but not least, they both inform me about all the opportunities that are provided at our school and help me find ways to include those opportunities

  • How I Exhibit the Four Pillars of the National Honor Society

    The National Honor Society is based off of four pillars: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. School is an extremely important part of anyone’s life, and I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to attend Lutheran schools from Kindergarten until the present. Our Shepherd Lutheran and Lutheran High Northwest have helped me to grow in my faith and to continue to grow academically as well. Attending these schools has also allowed me to participate in many different extra-curricular activities such as Varsity Soccer in my freshman year, Varsity Track my sophomore year, Pit Band for school musicals, Jazz band, and Pep band. This 2009-2010 school year I also have the opportunity to be the First Chair Flute and Piccolo in regular Concert Band and the other band functions which will provide me with an opportunity to gain experience in leadership which will help me in college and in my future career. Service is an important activity to participate in. During the past two years I have helped my mom and the rest of the committee at my church with funeral luncheons. When there is a funeral at my church the family of the deceased has the option of having a luncheon at the church, and if they choose, following the funeral, the committee that my mom is on takes care of getting the food that the family wants, serving the food, and then cleaning up after the luncheon is over. When they need help I also go and help out. Also, my family recently became a Foster family for the Michigan Humane Society. In November of this year, I am going on a mission trip to Madrid, Spain, with my cousin, who is a pastor, and a group from his church, Valley Springs, in Roseville, California. Our main aim is going to be talking to the college students there and trying to plant churches. We are going to be helping them work on their English, and I will get to use my Spanish. I have also had the opportunity to work in the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer nursery which was my first paying job. Every Sunday morning I am in the nursery from 9 until 12, or later if needed, watching peoples children up to four years of age while they attend church.

    With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning

    Being involved in school and community activities should not be a way to impress colleges or keep oneself busy to simply avoid boredom.

Cecilia Ahern said, “Time cannot be packaged and ribboned and left under trees for Christmas morning. Time can’t be given. But it can...

  • 9th Grade Research Paper

    9th grade, the most important year of High school. This is about High school and about what grade is most important. I think the most important year of High school is 9th grade. The reason i chose 9th grade is because, 9th grade determines if your going to be a successful student or a failing student. Students who have bad grades are most likely to fail and that can be helped by getting missing assignments done and turning in make up work. While students who have good grades are going to pass and be successful in school and after school. Students who fail repeat a grade and end up being overwhelmed and depressed. I can support this because in the article on paragraph 3 it states, “They are experiencing the unusual adolescent angst and depending

  • Summer School Research Paper

    School is a necessity in America, most children in America attend some sort of school. However school during summer break is a different topic. Some students are required to attend summer school because of the need to retake courses that they didn’t do well on, but I’ll be focusing on summer school that students want to attend or are forced to attend. As with everything, summer school has good and bad qualities. Summer school provides extra knowledge to students and some programs even allow students to advance a grade or class. In addition summer schools also provide a chance for students to make new friends and meet new people. On the other hand summer schools may take away time from students who want to have fun during summer rather than learning like they regularly do. Many students also want to hang out with their own friends, but summer school conflicts their schedules. There are many ups and downs to summer school, but it’s really up to you.

    One situation in my life made me realize that doing things for my own personal gain is not always the right thing to do. In seventh grade I started thinking about other people with a less selfish outlook on life. This particular situation helped me understand the importance of doing the right thing and following the golden rule, treat others how you would want to be treated. I now live my life according to my own definition of integrity, do the right thing no matter the circumstances and understand a situation from someone else’s point of view.

    Having no job makes it easier to find time for schoolwork and It makes it a lot easier to get things done during the day. My boyfriend Trey and I are living in the basement of his retired parent's house since we move to Washington state about a year ago. I've started to get somewhat of a pattern going during the day. I wake up, run any errands, do all my chores, and get any craft projects done and then I sit down to do schoolwork before bedtime. My chore responsibilities are only limited to a few things since my boyfriend's mother Katje does most of the cooking and cleaning. I take about a good two to three hours every other week cleaning our studio sized living area. Every few days I'll do our laundry and clean the upstairs bathroom. Our hedgehog's cage gets cleaned once a week and the cats litter box gets cleaned daily.

    During my senior year of high school, while all my classmates discovered their dream schools and committed easily, I struggled to find my ideal school. When I discovered Savannah College of Art and Design I thought I had found my perfect fit. Throughout grammar and high school, I had participated in the drama club's plays, as well as performed with the Charleston Stage Company, and when people told me that I was a good actress and enjoyed my performance, I began to think that acting might be my calling. Everyone strives to find their passion in life that drives them. I had trouble finding that devotion, so I was elated when I thought I had finally found mine. With the thought of becoming an actress on my mind, I sought out the drama teacher at school and asked him if he would provide me with acting lessons. A strength of mine is that when I commit myself to something, I commit myself fully and strive to be the best I can. As a child, perfectionism was
