How My Strengths And Accomplishments
During my term as president, the club I serve has had numerous service projects and successful fundraisers, and I have attended nearly all of these events. In total, I did not attend only 7 of our club’s service events, 3 of which I missed because I was at another event, and I have participated in every fundraiser we have held.
The club I serve this term has had over 50 service projects throughout the term, several of which were held by other organizations. For example, on May 13th, our club was given the opportunity to work with Society for Disabilities by volunteering at their annual Special Needs Prom, which I personally attended. In addition, we regularly work with a local organization known as Modesto Gospel Mission by helping with the many festivals and projects they conduct for the assistance of the poor, such as when other members and I volunteered at their school packing event and Christmas festival. Furthermore, our club has its own made service projects throughout the year that I have planned and contributed to. For instance, in September our club collected toy donations from anyone who was willing to give away old toys they had. Afterwards, we got all the toys we …show more content…
Some of our more significant fundraisers include our movie night, lollipop sale, and Trick or Treat for UNICEF. On September 30th, our club hosted a movie night for PTP in which I had planned and set up with the assistance of others. At the fundraiser we played the movie Insidious and sold snacks, and we raised a grand sum of $320. Additionally, our division had a lollipop sale for PTP, and our club was able to sell over 450 lollipops, myself selling about 40, and raise $287. Last of all, our club in October and November took part in the annual Trick or Treat for UNICEF fundraiser. Independently I was capable of raising a bit over $30, and as a whole club we gathered about

    Feeding South Florida High School Project Case Study

    Under the presidency of S.A.D.D (Students Against Destructive Decisions) in my high school, I've conducted and lead many projects to help many organizations and even planned and coordinated many community service projects. But, out of the many project that the club and I have planned and created, I would have to state that I've projected my leadership role the most while our club and I went to Feeding South Florida for a field trip that I've planned. The reason why I state this is because, Feeding South Florida was a common place that many people knew, especially our members, and so before we got to the warehouse, I've explained the purpose Feeding South Florida stands for and the job that we would have to do there. When we got to the warehouse and began working, I would help the members and other volunteers carry boxes that were a bit heavy for them to carry and to help them understand how to sort the items that were donated to the warehouse into categorized boxes that they had provided to us. The purpose on why I led this project is because of the purpose behind Feeding South Florida, which is to collect, pack and send foods to the many shelters and food kitchens that they have provided in South Florida and working on this project created a positive effect on my life. The reason why I state this is because, while volunteering, it made me feel as if I was privileged.…

    Unit 19 D1

    Some really effective moments when we worked as a team was when we had to organise the fish and chips and when we had to set up for the quiz night, we all stuck together and set up the hall in under an hour. I think that at the end of the event once we had counted how much we had raised, we all felt proud of ourselves at what we had achieved and this really showed as we were excited to let our guests know how much they had helped us and the charity.…

    Statement Of Purpose: Why I Volunteer At The Basket Brigade

    Each year in November I volunteer at The Basket Brigade. We assemble boxes full of food for the less fortunate to have for Thanksgiving/the holiday season. After assembling the boxes we each take 4-5 and deliver them to anyone who has requested them. This opportunity is very eye opening, it shows you how much a little kindness goes and how thankful people are that you care. I have also volunteered at Feed My Starving Children for the last few years. This organization allows you to help pack food to send to children across the…

    Freedom Marathon Recollection

    Sunday is the main events so the runners for the half and full marathon came in to retrieve their information packets, and shirts which they will wear during each run. Before I was assigned to work with a few other ladies behind the Shirt Distribution stand, the staff explained to all the volunteers about the water pouches that will be available to use during the events, and briefly demonstrated how the new water pouches worked, and how we should hold the water for the runners as the passed by. At the Shirt Distribution stand, we handed out long sleep shirts for each race, and collected the Shirt tabs which were located on each runner’s bibs. Once we collected the tabs, we each placed them in a clear plastic tub, which the head of staff would use to count if they needed to know how many shirts were distributed. We each took on equal responsibilities for the shirt distribution tasks, and when we were not busy; we conversed and got to know one another a little better. Pizza and burgers were provided for lunch, along with some water or soda to drink. Starbucks was available for everyone to drink freely, and cupcakes were being donated for two dollars towards charity. One of the supporters was a ballet company touring for the holidays, so they chose to put on a free short performance for the visitors at the Freedom Marathon Exposition, while giving the children a free lesson on how to properly stretch the muscles in their body. I thought it was great way to market the business and to get local patrons interested and eager to see more. I found it interesting to see that all ages were running or walking the marathons and it open my eyes up to how many people are actively involved in the community. Everyone was really humble and patient while waiting to receive their shirts which allowed the…

    National Honors Society Induction Essay

    Bringing people together encouraging human unity is a gift. Participating in service demonstrates that a person cares for others. There is no measurement for service to society, it is what helps to make the world a better place. I provide service regularly at my church, City Of Faith Church Of God. The congregation inspires me to give as much of me to them, as I possibly can. Working at. The church food pantry brings me joy.feeding citizens who are without the basics, food, and seeing the look of relief on their faces is one of the greatest experiences. Additionally, preparing for the culmination of "Child's Month Celebration" has been a lot of fun. Designing the logo based on the theme of "Be A Winner and Join The Race" was a fulfilling role. As a nominee of the National Honors Society , my mind overflows with ideas of how we can serve in our community. Some tasks we can fulfill include visiting the elderly. I am certain that they would appreciate and enjoy us going to read and/or listen them. Helping to clean our school environment would also be a good use of our service. In addition, I believe that academic tutoring from members of the Honors Society to students at NFA, other schools in the district, and the public library would be very useful and effective. Our service is important and would be very effective in our…

    Religion and Word Myth

    Myths from different cultures address the same themes but in different ways because in the end we are all trying to explain the same thing but in different ways. For instance, when we talk about human creation some people believe that we were created by a GOD, others believe that we were created by evolution which mean tiny molecules evolving in to what we call now humans. Myths are all the same a story that is fictional but has a very positive message for every person looking for an answer on some type of feeling or question…

    Violence and Sex in Advertising

    Violence and Sex in advertising is a controversial issue in American society. Some think that this type of advertising is not an issue while others believe it can be a major issue. While most people know what violence and sex in advertising contain, I believe it’s important to define what it really is. Violence and Sex in advertising can be defined as any advertisement that depicts some type of nudity whether is be partial or complete while also insinuating some type of violence.
