Interact Club Reflective Report
have always prioritized my academic achievements for the pursuit of higher success. Yet I have engaged in a variety of activities that have made me a more mature, well-rounded person. An organization, named Interact Club, had a significant impact in leading me to gain leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
One of the first interact club events I took charge of organizing involved reading to kids at an underprivileged elementary school. I served as the role model for a large group of curious young students and gained a more insightful perspective of the substantial impact that my volunteer work actually has on the community. Reading to kids is one example of an Interact event that influenced me into becoming a more effective communicator with different types of learners. The Interact organization has traditionally depended on the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards campout event to promote collaboration skills in students such as myself. During

I was elected as the president of Interact Club during my second year as a result of my dedication and passion to the volunteer services of this organization. Within my school, I advocated and promoted the importance of offering hands-on service projects to local communities. As the leader, I delegated responsibilities to each member of my organization based on their strengths in order to maximize my group’s efficiency in completing the tasks at hand. I initiated an Interact event that involved the volunteers from my region to in collaborate and build a grand Rose float to showcase at the Tournament of Roses Parade. I felt a sense of gratification and accomplishment as the coordinator of this event for directing the members into diligently working together to produce an impressive final float. My active involvement in the Interact organization led me to built upon my leadership and teamwork

    During the course of my high school career, I have developed a strong passion for the organization named the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). FCCLA is a Career and Technical Student Organization that focuses on building students into better leaders for their families, careers, and communities. Furthermore, FCCLA teaches students practical skills that will be useful throughout their lifetimes. This organization has become an important part of my life because it has shaped me into the leader I am today. I began in the organization as a member and participant in competitive events, I have now worked my way up to being my chapter’s President and the Missouri State First Vice President. My leadership experience in FCCLA, especially my experience as a member of the Missouri State…

    During my junior year the biggest event I had to plan was the social event for the battalion: military ball. The event was one eagerly looked forward to, and rightfully so, as it was always a blast with the cadets and fostered many memories that will last a lifetime. I took planning this event very seriously and in the end many told me that it was the best military ball to date. Several cadets came to me after the formalities had concluded and thanked me for putting in the time and effort to make military ball happen. Seeing their gratitude and smiles on their faces made me feel appreciated and I knew that all the hours I had put in and almost wanting to tear my hair out in frustration had not gone in vain. During my senior year, another crucial event within the program changed. The criteria for our annual inspection had been altered drastically and we had to start from scratch will almost everything. This inspection is what JROTC works toward the entire school year, due to the fact that if a program receives a low score a certain amount of times, then the program can be disbanded. I, along with my staff, worked for months making sure that we had everything we needed and that our presentation was the best it could be. When the day of inspection finally came around, our hard work paid off. The battalion received a perfect score and was officially the best JROTC program in the county. This was the first time since my high school JROTC program’s conception in 2000 that we had received a perfect score on the…

    At the age of six, I struggled to find the meaning behind all of the little iron on patches, and what they had been leading up to. The Gold award, awarded to 5.4% of eligible girls, is the most prestigious award, above a silver and bronze. It definitely isn’t attained without hard work and dedication. The guidelines of the project are clear: you need to exemplify leadership qualities and create a lasting impact in the community. My idea to work with the elderly and the youth group from my church came immediately. Observing my community, I noted that the elderly and youth don’t communicate or interact with one another. I believe that those types of relationships are essential in life, due to my own connection with my grandmother. She is one of the funniest people I know, and even though she is 90, we can still connect on a personal level and laugh at just about anything together. I want others to experience that for themselves, because even though they may be older than us, they are still young at heart, and have all led interesting lives with stories beyond…

    Girls Club Contribution

    My most significant contribution to a community, without any doubt in my mind, has been to both of my local Boys and Girls Club of America branches. I first began to go to the Boys and Girls Club shortly after the divorce of my parents. In the beginning, I was at my lowest point, until I learned many of my peers were in a similar situation. From that point on, I helped the staff at the Club, mentored younger kids, and provided assistance to anyone who needed it. Quickly, I became the Club’s youth of the month, and in 2013 became the Boys and Girls Club of Zionsville’s youth of the year, the highest honor a Boys and Girls Club member can receive. In the Club, everyone had forged a bond of understanding with one another. In some way, we were…

    Apart from the Toby Keith Foundation Teen Board and the Junior Rotarian Club, I have volunteered with various other organizations such as the Red Cross, Moore Food and Resource Center and the OCARTA Wellness Hub. I have chosen to dedicate my time to these community service activities because I know that a small effort can go a big way in changing other's lives. Along with community service activities, I have also dedicated my time within my Latino community. I have attended numerous leadership conferences aimed at Hispanic students, including the Hispanic Youth Leadership Conference at the Oklahoma City University and the TREE Conference at the University of Oklahoma. I was also selected to attend the Latinos Without Borders Fall Camp at the University of Oklahoma. Attending all of these events have changed my life, because I have learned how to fight the barriers that plague my community and culture. It is important to me to be involved within my cultural community because I believe in order for a community to prosper, its members have to become aware of the problems within their community and work to better…

    Being an active member of the Quincy Public School community for the past nine years has allowed me to give and gain much. Everyone benefits when members of the community partner with schools to provide quality education. In elementary school, parents wanted their children to get more exercise and spend more time outside. I benefited from Reebok’s partnership with my school to pilot an early morning exercise program. The Parent Teachers Organization wanted to build an outdoor learning space, but had no funds. I donated my birthday party to kick off the fundraiser which was supplemented with additional private donations and a community preservation grant. I was given an Outstanding Citizen award by the Nickerson Post for my role in engaging…

    I remember when we hosted the Make a difference day event for Thurgood Marshall. It was a busy day for all of us. It was also a big event. There were a lot of vacant houses in that area. Our job was to make a list of the vacant houses and to measure it for board-ups. Measuring it took about a week. Lighting observation was a challenge for some of us because we had to wait till dark to find out which light works so that we can write down the address. Some people didn’t like how we were going around the same area multiple times because they didn’t know what we were trying to do. After that some of us had to drive around morning and afternoon to find out the most common routes that everyone takes to go and from school. I couldn’t participate in that because I had school the same time. On the big event day, we secured 10 vacant properties, cleared three blocks of trash, removed a block of graffiti from a vacant property, and created visible safe routes signs. We hit some rough patches on the way but we all worked together to overcome it. It was a very long and exhausting day but we all were happy because we all felt the joy of making a difference in the…

    Following the incident, I began to immerse myself with opportunities of service and involvement. In addition to helping myself, I wanted to be a reason for another’s joy. Every week I spent time with my school’s Special Education program in hosting events and activities to make them inclusive. Within our first year, I was able to help begin a Special Olympics for my peers to participate in. However, I was also determined to impact the community outside of my school. For a project that I led press relations with, our Key Club’s Louisiana Strong Campaign was able to acquire more than 1,225 items within a month for victims of the Louisiana flooding. My years in service have brought me to understanding the content I receive when being able to bring fulfillment to others. As well, both of these projects represented that although I am only an individual, it only takes one person to be a catalyst of relief for many.…

    Group Reflective Report

    The two insights that were pointed out that during this session was the long road that I have for dealing with conflict in which group think can still take over and people be hesitant to act when they would normally not hesitate to act. During the session a member who everyone knows has extreme anxiety issues and has a companion animal at their side opened and shared an incredibly vulnerable part of their life. The one fact that is understood by everyone in that room is that people with anxiety or other mental issues do not like to be put in spotlight regardless of the situation. Especially, if that spotlight has found them in a vulnerable state. When this individual stalled out and did not appear to want to share a member of the group asked if they could do an exercise. When this was stated I understood this to be incorrect given that one, time was running out and two, this person does not need to be singled out in the group dynamic. However, I allowed this to happen thinking someone else would step…

    The group process went very smoothly from my perspective. In the time that we have interacted in this cohort, there have been many group assignments. From those experiences, there have been improvements in the methods of communication, like e-mail and texting. Text messaging is a very convenient method to alert cohort members or recent updates to the assignment or to make inquiries. Because most of us have nursing jobs, texting is a good way to communicate when computer access is not possible. In the group, I was not aware of any problems with the group process. Especially as the report on the IEP was being written, group members responded promptly with changes, editing and suggestions.…

Each event is structured where the kids get dropped off by school buses, hear about a leadership practice from me and then listen to other announcements for about 25 minutes, do the activity the location has preset up and then have dinner and leave on buses to go to their…

    Reflection on experience

    We agreed as a group to make the most of our experience and try to help each other in achieving our goals. There were two sets of goals that our team worked for. We, as a group, hoped not only to deliver whatever requirements were in the program’s curriculum, but also we aimed to grow as individuals and as a group. It was evident from day one that each member of this team was aiming to excel and becoming distinct from other groups. Our common goal of excelling made it easier for us to find a common ground, and we felt that our goals were attainable as long as we show commitment and dedication. As any group, we had our share of positive and negative experiences that I will shed some light on in this paper. Although our group was highly functional and motivated towards succeeding in achieving our goals, there were few unexplored issues that I hope we work on in the remainder of our tenure.…

    But perhaps the most significant outreach my Rotary has is geared toward teenagers and youth. There are many high school scholarship opportunities, like essays and speeches, National Youth Science Forums (NYSF), sponsorship youth development programs, the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA), Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA), and the Overseas Group Study Exchange (GSE). Along with these there is the International Youth Exchange (INTERACT), which I am actually a member of at my high school. Interact is a service…
