When communities get together, big things can happen. There are many ways I can help my community come together and use leadership, citizenship and service to do good. In National Junior Honor Society, there are five pillars. These pillars are; scholarship, leadership, character, citizenship, and service. Some ideas I have that use the pillars of service and leadership to reach out to my community include volunteering and being a good role model to younger students.…

I have upheld the Chanhassen High School National Honor Society 4 pillars of character, leadership, scholarship and service. I am currently involved in key club, rotary interact, tennis, babysitting, as well as working at the Big Thrill Factory, and it is through these activities that being kind, a leader friendly, and polite, truly allows me to shine.…
My chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is Alpha Beta Zeta, located at Radford University. Each member is required to get 35 community service hours each semester. Service projects occur around the New River Valley and help a variety of community organizations. Because Alpha Phi Omega has a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, we host many projects that allow us to help them facilitate big events. Projects I have worked on include: cleaning a local daycare center, performing trail maintenance along a portion of the Appalachian Trail, collecting food for Meals on Wheels, raising money for different causes, running youth programs for Boy Scouts and 4-H events, cleaning our Adopt-A-Spot, beautifying local parks, and many other programs. Over the…

The components of citizenship, community service, academics, work and home life, and extracurricular actives help me shine as a well-rounded individual. As an involved and caring citizen in the Union Township community, I do my best to make my mark. Displaying a good role as a citizen through community service has been a value I possessed ever since I could remember. At a young age, I started to serve my community with my parents at both school and church events and it has stuck with me since. Through community service such as being an assistant teacher in St. Veronica’s Religious Education Program, Glen Este High School’s member of National Honors Society, and Key Club, I not only helped out Union Township but I have also made new relationships and feel good about myself. Community service always makes me feel better because I know I’m helping others and making my mark through the friends I have made through both of these service programs.…
One of my most rewarding accomplishments is that I am a member of National Honor Society. As a member, I have maintained above a 3.9 GPA and have completed several community service projects. My service projects include assisting the elderly at the Brethren Home, donating my time at our church festivals, being involved in Relay for Life, and raising money and participating in the Palmyra Mini-THON.…
I am part of Beta, Science National Honor Society, and Key Club. These are other clubs which are honor societies, and weigh importance on volunteering. I am also a member of MD Junior and HOSA, which as not considered honor societies but also value good morals and volunteering. With experience in these clubs I believe I have gained experience and learned important skills, whether people skills or educational skills.…
As an executive officer in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, each individual is responsible for a legacy project during the school year. I was responsible for SOS Children’s Village which is a foster care neighborhood that houses children that were abused, neglected and/or abandoned. Even though this was a one-day experience, I was thrilled about the opportunity to work with children as I believe that no child should be denied proper medical care and a healthy home. It is said that time goes by when you are having fun. This was true for our experience as we went four hours over time. I coordinated leadership and team building activities for the children in which both the volunteers and participants enjoyed. Who knew that in five hours’ strong bonds can be developed with a stranger that you might not encounter again.…
All throughout school I have participated in many clubs and organizations that have not only molded me as a person, but have helped me to develop responsibility, and leadership skills. Currently I am an active member of National Honor Society, and DECA. Both of these organizations, provided by my high school, encourage leadership, volunteer work, and have high expectations for behavior, and grades. Being in National Honor Society has shown me to continually do for others in need. There are always opportunities to get involved with the community, and even create drives for things like stuffed animals, and blankets for children who are sick in the hospital, and “Care Catties” for cancer patients, which include tissues, water bottles, hard candy, and lotion. DECA is another organization I am involved in at Frenship High School. DECA is a business organization for high school marketing students looking to learn, develop and compete in a competitive event. I have been a member since my sophomore…
On 07/24/2015 at approximately while working in the booking area Deputy Caldwell was watching max 1 camera and said that it appeared that the two inmates appeared to be fighting. Sargent Daves, Sargent Coulter and I (Deputy Stearns) could hear people talking loudly behind delta gate and the voices began to get louder. Sgt. Daves began to walk up the hallway with Corporal Moravec towards delta gate calling for the door to be unlocked as they approached the door. Sgt. Coulter and I started towards the hallway to see what was going on behind delta gate in the hall. As we got to delta gate Deputy Caldwell pressed the button once again to unlock the door. This is when I saw Sgt. Daves, Cpl. Moravec, Deputies Robichaux, Delano and Sheldon in the…
Serving Sheboygan has always been one of my priorities. Although I have a seemingly short list of community service activities, my extracurricular activities have truly tied me closer to our community. To begin, I have long demonstrated the Lions philosophy of WE SERVE. Extracurricular involvement has historically ignited my service. As an energetic young student I participated greatly in student council, LUCK (Choir) and girl scouts; operating car washes, salvation army bell ringing, bingo and caroling at nursing homes.…
This year I participated in many community service projects; projects such as singing for various organizations with my chorus class also volunteering at Buffalo’s chicken wing festival. The project, which I enjoyed most though, was volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and helping rebuild a home.…
Through my membership in my high school Kiwanis Club, I have participated in many public service activities. These activities have included Feed My Starving Children which is a program where we prepare packages of food to be sent to third world countries who struggle with starvation. I have also participated in activities with the goal of raising money for the St. Jude foundation, Breast Cancer awareness, Autism awareness, as well as a local tragedy. I plan to continue these activities by participation with a Kiwanis club or similar endeavor in my college career. My career choice of nursing will allow me to continue to fulfill my desire to help people in need. I also intend to seek out public service programs to volunteer in while pursuing…
Middle school is significantly different from high school; the middle school I went to is small compared to Ridgeview which has far more opportunities. Ridgeview has presented itself to be stronger, more demanding, and far more open. A few things that have been demonstrated to be far more taxing are band, different classes, and the method of accomplishment.…
