When I was in orientation this fall I was scared and lonely. It was the first time that I was far away from home by myself and knew no one. One of the girls from O-staff that were assigned to my group was from Arizona (where I am from) and that gave me some comfort. But for the most part I felt alone and to be honest, O-staff did not help me or the other people in my group. As an O-staff leader I want to be different, I want to make the new and frightened freshman to feel more comfortable and accepted. I want to be able to answer the questions the freshman have and help them learn and have fun as they prepare to enter a new life.
I would also enjoy spending time with my peers in a positive leadership role. Learning more about them and working

As a sociology major, I find religions, races, genders, and backgrounds incredibly interesting and I enjoy learning about them. Because of this I accept, listen to, and respect, all kinds of people and is interested in finding places for them to prosper. This will be helpful during orientation on getting to know the students and helping them adjust and learn about their new life at Northwestern.
I also have strong leadership and organization skills which will be helpful in the planning and completing part of being on the O-staff.
I am an effective communicator, able to share my ideas effectively while also listening to others. I have an ability to hear and understand what other people are saying even if it is unclear. Also, my enthusiasm for Northwestern and life in general would be a great asset for getting the positive feeling of Northwestern across.
I like to think that I am a fun person and to a great extent that is what orientation weekend is about, having fun. I believe I could make the experience joyful for the new students and for my peers working alongside

Not that being upset about injustice is bad, but sometimes my emotions overshadow my want to help change the situation. I also talk a lot, sometimes too much on a subject that I’m passionate about. I am also a loud person in general, I’m not sure why, I just have a loud voice, especially when I get excited. I am also a very creative person which sometimes gets in the way of the other important things in my life.
My relationship with God is growing and maturing, through chapel and other resources on campus. I have a lot of questions right now and I am searching for answers but that is what most freshman are going through. We are just getting out of our parents’ house and ideals for the first time and discovering what we believe. Although I have many questions about my faith and what I believe I can see God working in and around me. The conversations I have with my friends and other peers at Northwestern and out are deep and meaningful. I can see my own and others faiths growing through bible studies and late night talks.
Also I am currently in Christian Story I which is an amazing faith tool for me. This class is combining my love for history and my religion into a class that helps me answer the questions I have. I have facts about what I believe that were written during the time my Lord lived. Answers are be found just as fast and new questions pop
The reason why I want to become an Orientation Leader is because I see this as something that I am naturally attracted to. By becoming an orientation, I will possess the opportunity to make a batch of new friends. In the process, some of the relationships that I establish can transform into a lifelong bond. I feel like as an orientation leader, I will become a member of the unique community of orientation staff and create a bond that I can carry with me throughout my time here at Winthrop.
As an Orientation Leader, I will contribute to the development of an inclusive community by making sure to engage everyone in my OL group in all activities. Moreover, I will make sure to set ground rules regarding our discussion (for example, people must wait their turn to speak if someone else is already speaking). I will also be cognizant of the fact that some students may be more vocal, while others may feel more shy or withdrawn. I also realize that cultural differences can also lead some students to see others as unfriendly or in a less positive light, and therefore would work hard to support all students in my Orientation group
Mary I have grown academically. Students come to school and learn so much. We learn skills and lessons that prepare us not only for high school or college but for the rest of our lives. We learn all these things from our teachers. Our teachers care about each one of us and want us to do well. They work very hard so that we can have the education we do. They also strive to be good role models for their students. They set a good example and teach us good values. We are taught how to treat people with love and respect. What's so amazing is that not only are we taught these values but you can see the students acting on these values everyday. For example, when we went to the Camp Duncan retreat we participated in some activities that taught us some about what it means to be Christian and how we should build each other up instead of tearing people down. After these activities you could see everyone being really nice to eachother, people talking to people they usually don’t, and just using what we had learned that day. It’s so amazing to see all the ways God works in our
I am applying to Hofstra University because this is a campus where I believe I will continue to flourish both academically and socially. Hofstra has an environment of diversity and inclusion that would cater to my socially inclined personality and ambition to become a healthcare professional. Walking the campus of Hofstra, there is an environment of inclusion at every corner of the campus and within every activity sponsored. Among the different activities and opportunities, such as the Multicultural Organization, the Sororities, the Courtyard Carnival, and especially the “Bring Your Own Bear to Movie Night”, shows that Hofstra is fully immersed and supportive of all types of interests and people. This environment displays not only the various thought processes, but the mixture of students with an assortment of demographics. This is important to me because as I make yet another school
I may not have had much experience in foreign policy on the ground, but I am passionate and willing to work hard and learn as I go. Second, I would like to gain more legal experience before I attend law school in the Fall of 2019. The Office of White House Counsel was recommended to me by an AUSA during my internship with the U.S. Attorney’s office. Finally, I want to make a positive change in the everyday lives of Americans. This administration is moving forward and achieving promises they set out on the campaign trail, and I want to be a part of that team.
To enjoy life and to create and experience new opportunities I believe you have to be an involved and concerned person. I would love the opportunity to join National Honor Society and prove in person my abilities. I am dedicated to being successful, and I believe being apart of NHS would further my accomplishment. Inevitably, my ability as a leader would be beneficial to
1. Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time.
I am fond of leadership because of my experience with the empowering feeling that being a leader provides. Such opportunities to lead have pushed me to become a proponent of the development of leadership skills among youth through additional volunteerism with... ... middle of paper ... ... ting because opportunities capitulate more opportunities and challenges are simply opportunities to grow! With this in mind, I face college with a confident demeanor, and I prepare to learn new things and achieve success in a world that I have yet to experience, but cannot wait to do so.
I am interested in becoming an orientation leader due to many reasons. I loved the entire process of discovering the new environment that I will be part of for a few years and all of those enthusiastic people that where showing us around. Since the first day of the orientation, I wanted to be a part such a great and fun group of people. I had fun and I met so many great people that I talk to every day. The people I met during the orientation, I can say, are some of my best friends at this school.
...nd having real life connection with people. So being a head coach this summer is going to be very important for me in terms of building my leadership style.
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.
After attending my summer orientation, I started to adjust to the idea of college life a little bit more. I met new people, got to know a new area, and overall became more acquainted with the life I would be living for the next couple of years. Overall, orientation made college a reality for me.
I want to be able to provide guidance and support, as well as fun opportunities such as the Freshmen Flotilla and Bedtime Stories, in order to foster a sense of community amongst students and faculty. I have noticed that many of my friends that I lived with the Honors dorm who moved to live off campus have become disconnected with the community of the Honors College, and I would love to make an impact by keeping older students involved. I hope that I will be also be able to impact USC helping make the student population grow through helping to encourage prospective students to come here and answer any questions they have that might cause hesitation or delay. Overall, I would like to help create an accepting and accessible environment to
I use the phrase developing because my relationship with God is growing and will never stop. I see and feel the Lord is many different ways. Being a biology major, the science and beauty of God creations reveal so much to me. Knowing how complex life is I don’t know how one couldn’t believe it was made by a higher power. I feel God’s presence most with beautiful sunsets, healing of illnesses, and the creation of life. God works in such mysterious ways to get our attention. Not only does God reveal himself to me but he reveals myself to me. God reveals myself to me with the little things and thoughts in my mind throughout the day. Like most, I have sinful thoughts, I get upset and jealous but the Holy Spirit has put itself inside me so when I think of something sinful I think through my choices and reflect on what I know in my heart is the right thing to do. We don’t put those feelings of goodness in our heart, God does. The Lord shapes me everyday and usually every time I can feel it in my heart. It’s a feeling of heaviness or lightness that makes me question what I am doing or brings tears of joy to my eyes. My relationship with God is progressing but I still have so much more to learn about my
