Bridge Role Model
Being a Bridge Student is something that I have aspired to since I joined the Upward Bound program two years ago. These were the kids that everyone else looked up to for guidance and mentoring.
I believe that I would make an admirable Bridge Student because of my long history of mentoring and fidelity to anything I do that makes me who I am as a person. I also am very loyal to the program and have attended every possible campus day since I joined the program in tenth grade, along with every summer academy. I have a lot of knowledge of the program that not a lot of the kids have and can impart that knowledge of the program onto the students and staff this Summer that might need help here and there.If selected for the Upward Bound Bridge Program

No matter how old we get we find that we always carry someone in our hearts that we revere. This is also true for high school students. To me, one group of people I admire are the Bridge Students. Every year one group of students gets chosen and exceed the expectations of them and do things that they are most likely the first in their families to do; these kids are role models. I have served as a role model in a many ways, as a girl scout, as a mentor, as an officer of multiple clubs, but only one way could make my heart feel as good as probably the humblest of all of my role model experiences, being a big sister. In my family were all very close and I may only have one sibling but I also have three cousins that call me their big sister. These kids for a long time were the reason I got up every day. I’ve always done my best to help them grow up right and making sure that they always knew I loved them. As a bridge student obviously I wouldn’t have the same kind of relationship with the summer academy students as I do with my family but I will care about them and their well-being the same as I would my family.
I should be selected to be a Bridge Student this Summer because I am determined and motivated and I will follow through with my college career and become a person that this program can be proud of. I need these credits because I am going for my Master’s in Human Resource Management

    Everyday I am influenced by their leadership and commitment to Van Horn. It’s been difficult because I’ve never had to guide my classmates and ensure that their experience in an activity is positive. As well as making sure they don’t get off topic, which they tend to do on a frequent basis. I hope I have influenced them nearly as much as they have influenced me. Through National Honor Society I have become closer…

    Explaining things that people don't understand has always been a strong point in my time within the community. In sports, specifically volleyball, I am more experienced than most of the people in my grade. When someone is having trouble with a skill like hitting or passing I gladly help them and explain things in a way that is easy to understand. Another quality that I have, is the ability to effectively communicate with others. Not only am I able to communicate with people that I am helping, but also with leaders within this club. I can communicate clearly and professionally through; email, text, verbally, and on the phone. When I have a planned absence from a sport’s practice, I notify my coach at least twenty-four hours before the scheduled start time. My work ethic has always been a strong point within my years of schooling. I have never been tardy to a class or skipped class to do things that I think are more important. Working in groups or teams has always been something I am good at. Working with teams efficiently and effectively is very important, this is especially shown on sports teams, were at practice if one person is slacking off it's harder for…

    When it was time to decide who would become the valedictorian, there were two top students whom our class thought would fit the winning spot. One of the students was a girl named Asal, who was elected senior class president for ASB. The other student was a boy named Henock, who was also elected in ASB but for the school president. Both students had superb grades close to a 5.0 gpa and they both participated in every on and off campus school event. Each of them had many responsibilities. They each would do their part to help the school community when it came to any projects or tutoring. They set a great example for the student body to look up to. They wounded up the crowds during athletic games and pep rallies with incredible school spirit. They each would help come up with ideas and themes for dances, along with helping our school clubs with fundraisers and events such as blood drives. They would help put up flyers and make announcements to make the students aware of fundraisers and activities that were constantly going on at school. They would try to help get the whole school more involved by creating fun games and contests going on during lunch to make sure that everyone felt like they were a part of something no matter what grade level they were in. They had all this pressure coming down on them with all these school activities, along with their school work. They felt the…

    It is also important to treat each other as equals, preventing the idea of dominance or superiority to go to one's head, as everyone's contribution to a common goal should be appreciated. In addition, I try my best to round-out myself in pursuing other interests though extracurricular activities. I have been taking piano lessons for over 5 years; From this, I learned early on that one's determination and integrity are essential things to build and keep in order to accomplish set goals. Furthermore, I try my best to seek new ways to benefit our community. In my church, I often take the position of a needed altar server if more servers are necessary in order to carry out the mass. I have also created numerous congratulatory cards for new mothers in hospitals during my freshman year. These experiences I have had have changed the approach I have taken on in life, allowed me to gain new skills and perspectives, and - hopefully - given me the qualities needed in a National Honor Society…

    There is not a single feeling greater than the one you experience when you make a positive impact on someone else’s life. Thankfully, I was able to experience that in my junior year. My high school has a program called Link Crew that is designed to help alleviate the anxiety of freshmen’s transition in to high school. When I signed up to get involved, I never realized how strongly it would affect not only my life, but also the life of everyone else who came in contact with it one way or another. Junior year was my first year involved in the program. At first, I was not sure if I would be able to handle it because it was a club that required a large time commitment. I was already involved in my advisory board, student council, and also I had been on the varsity softball team for both years prior to my junior year, along with working anywhere from three to five days a week. It was a very busy time in my life for a while, but I soon came to realize that Link Crew was completely worth it once I started seeing the effect it had on my school.…

    There are many reasons as to why I should be admitted into the English 2 Honors course for my sophomore year at The Philadelphia High School for girls. First, I like an academic challenge. When things are too easy or not keeping me busy enough, I tend to be more inattentive and relaxed about that class. I like when I am constantly brainstorming and working hard. Thinking and learning at a faster pace is suitable for me because English is one of my stronger subjects.…

    My unique educational environment of a school has allowed me the opportunity to form close relationships with teachers and students alike, enabling me to interact with people of various backgrounds and ages.

    My participation in Student Government has taught me important leadership skills I will be able to carry with me throughout, not only my college career, but my nursing career. Sports has taught me that hard work, discipline, and teamwork will not only defeat any obstacle that comes my way, but with the help and encouragement of others, we can come together as one and get the job done. My extracurricular activities have taught me that with the aid of others anything is possible. Through my community service volunteering at a local housing company for the mentally disabled, I have seen first-hand what the impact one person can make on another’s life. Helping and mentoring the mentally disabled who can’t do some tasks on their own has touched my heart and changed the way I appreciate life in many different aspects. It just reminds me of how fortunate I am to be able to help other, despite the time it takes to do so. The overall time I have sacrificed to do these extracurricular activities inside and outside of school has all been well worth it. Overall, the life lessons I have learned and the change in character I have gained from these activities are gifts I will be able to carry with me in able to achieve my goal.…
