Extracurricular Activities & Community Service

One extracurricular activity I have enjoyed doing is Key Club. I have been involved in Key Club for 3 years now, and my senior year I was a photographer. Key Club has impacted my life as it has taught me that helping other is very important. Key Club major focus is volunteer work and helping the community. With Key Club I have I gained a greater understanding in helping others, but also your community. Through Key Club I have meet a lot of new people. Mr. Viera has been in charge of Key Club for a lot of years, he always shows a lot of passion in everything he does Key Club related. Which always motivates me to try my best at all Key Club events.
During my four years of high school I was involved in Key Club, Tennis, UC Scholars, CSF, FFA, and Friday Night Live. I wish I could have dedicated more time to each event. Since I always challenged myself academically, I never really had all the time to focus on Key Club or another sport. I always had tutorial for one of my AP classes. If I could go back I would join more clubs, and dedicate more time to each. I am proud that I did join Key Club and Mentoring. I have learned a lot in both clubs. One item that I don’t really consider community service, Is my Friday Night Live mentoring group. In this mentoring group the high school students go mentor middle school students about staying above the influence, and helping them out. Showing them that there more to life than alcohol, drugs, suicide, and cutting. I personally enjoy spending time with the kids and doing activities with them. This program has shown me that if we try to make a small difference on someone’s life it can mean a whole new opening to them. I have taught myself that life always goes on, no matter how hard it gets. That someone out there is going to help you out if you ask for help. This program has really given me a new insight on helping people. Chris is the guy who runs this program. He seems so

    I have always cherished the value of service and its effects on communities. A school class that I take that promotes service is Student Senate. A requirement for that class is ten hours of community service per trimester, and I have been a part of this group since sophomore year. This class is all about improving our school and creating an enjoyable environment for our students to be in. An example of this would be when I helped decorate the halls during themed weeks such as Spirit Week and Winterfest along with my fellow classmates.…

    The extracurricular activity that had an influential impact on the plans for my future was the Future Farmers of America. While in this organization, I have received multiple experiences in operating in the greenhouse, commuting to a fish farm, memorizing facts about the organization. This organization started by giving me the opportunity to begin experiencing stuff outside of the normal classroom. This organization taught me to stand up for myself and it started teaching me that I can do anything I set my mind to, such as winning science fair to advance to the National Convention in Kentucky. In this organization that anything is possible if you put the effort into making it happen. I learned that the people help make the organization, but…

    Being part of the Environmental Club I made sure to do whatever I could to promote environmental safety, how we could reduce the consumption of electricity and water. Knowing that our earth our home is being depleted of its natural resources it worries me that our future generations will not have a peaceful and beautiful environment. We also participated in Relay for Life where we promoted cancer awareness.

    Before I started doing community service I really didn’t care about others. I was just in my own world and just doing things that weren’t that beneficial for me and others. But that changed once I started to know other people’s situations. Realizing what the people who I was helping went through helped me have a change of heart. It made me care about others and understand how they felt.…

    If I had to pick one extracurricular activity to pursue in college, I would definitely choose club volleyball. Ever since I started playing volleyball in the 7th grade, I have been hooked. From that point on, the sport has become an invaluable part of me that has helped me grow into the person I am today. Since I joined volleyball two years after most of my peers, I was put on the “B-team.” I was determined to work as hard as I could to be placed on an advanced high school team. Thankfully, my hard work earned me a spot on a state-winning varsity roster as a freshman. We went on to win two state championships, and I personally received an All-West Region award. In this way, volleyball taught me that teamwork, dedication, and perseverance…

    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…
