My Ability To Participate In Club Sports
I am just ONE girl in my sorority supporting our philanthropy. I am just ONE student who participates in club sports. I am just ONE volunteer of the Big Brother Big Sister program. I am just ONE of many students who plan events on campus. I am just ONE student on Saint Joseph’s University’s Dean’s List. Although there are many students that I can easily be compared to, I have spent my time striving to make the most of my involvement. I have lived my life by the Abraham Lincoln quote, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” This quote was written as my role model’s final journal entry: Lacey Gallagher. Lacey passed away, nine years ago, in a car accident the evening of senior prom. Lacey was an

    Personal Narrative: The Challenges That Changed My Life

    In the August before my sophomore year of high school, a challenge emerged. My dad had passed away. Of course you would read that and automatically think about how that would affect me in many ways. However no one, not even myself, was aware of the many challenges that went with this.…

    Mukwonago Chief Research Paper

    Being a member of Best Buddies and SAVE, I demonstrate a strong sense of dedication for supporting others and lending a helping hand. The goals of both Best Buddies and SAVE are to further acceptance, embrace diversity, promote safety in schools, and spreading positive energy. As a student representative, my sole objective would be to help enlighten the school board and those in the community about the daily life at MHS, advocate for the 1,600 students currently attending, and respectively relay any helpful amendments that would benefit the Mukwonago Area School District. The multiple clubs I participate in and the copious amounts of friendships I developed with people that have contrasting passions also allow me to speak on behalf of a relatively large group of students. The students taking part in the same activities that I belong to range from freshman to seniors. The opinions of a freshman compared to that of a senior’s may vary drastically, and being a part of clubs with a sample of each year will give me an advantage to hear an assortment of…

    Anheuser-Busch Inbev Marketing Analysis

    I would like to begin by saying that I am honored to be a nominee for membership into the 2013 Senior Honor Society of York College of Pennsylvania. I take passion in my academic studies and my community involvement. The opportunity to be recognized for the impact I have made on my college and local community is truly flattering. After spending my first two years at Millersville University, I began my studies at York College in my third year of college as a junior. Living in Spring Grove, I made the decision to live at home, work a part-time job, and commute to York College. These factors are all things that could have impacted my campus-life involvement, but I was determined to not let these factors impact my college experience. I jumped head first into the York College Community and was accepted with open arms into whatever groups I wanted to become affiliated with on campus.…

    National Honor Society Legacy

    Since its establishment, the National Honor Society has been built upon the core values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Throughout the years, National Honor Society has upheld these pillars, and its outstanding club members strive to embody these values in every aspect of their lives. However, these four principles add up to become something much more over the course of National Honor Society’s lifetime -- its legacy. These four honorable tenets are what constitutes a legacy, and I wish to become an individual who represents all of these core values -- and more. I genuinely believe that I exemplify most of the qualities that National Honor Society values, and though I am aware that I am still lacking in some, I will work…

    Benefits of Greek Life

    Greek Life helps mold the average individual into a more informed, well-rounded, better-prepared adult for today and for the future. Unfortunately, many are blinded by the negative stereotypes that come with Greek Life, but honestly, I couldn 't have chosen a better way to improve myself, inside and out. The constant support, that little push to achieve more, the shoulders to cry on when you 've had a bad day; these are the things that set us Greeks apart from non-Greeks and these are the reasons I have made it to where I am now.…

    Maria Housden shares: “The truest measure of a life is not in length, but the fullness in which it is lived” (6). This quote goes along perfectly with the heartwarming and heartbreaking story of young Hannah Martell as she handles her illness with positivity while teaching those around her valuable life lessons along her journey. While reading Maria’s recount of her difficult journey, my emotions were greatly affected, my perspective on life transformed, and I was awed by the acts of by others after Hannah had passed.…

    Strong Relationship With Family Essay

    July 12, 2006 and April 7, 2009, were the two days that had sent me into a emotional state of mind that I will never forget. “We only realize how much someone means to us, when they are no longer with us.” -Ryan Garst. Growing up as a child, I was taught to be a leader and an example for my peers and the people that I’d soon be acquainted with. My parents had already taught me all of the necessary skills about being a leader. An example was to never be a follower, following a crowd of people could lead you down the wrong path in life. The same words were also said by two more people that really set it in stone for me: Mrs. Sanford (babysitter), and Cheryl Denise Burgess (grandmother).…

    Greek Life Benefits

    Ignoring the stereotypes for sororities and fraternities, Burrell focuses on the often overlook positive qualities of Greek life that pertain to both fraternities and sororities. She gives examples illustrating the benefits of Greek Life that have no relationship to the allegations of increased partying given in Wechsler’s et al. study. These benefits include fostering philanthropic interests, friendships, leadership attributes and social skills. These things, and more, help not only to ease the transition from life at home and living at the university, but also to prepare Greek Life participants for life after school. These leadership opportunities and business connections through the alumni of sororities and fraternities give participants something that non-fraternity and non-sorority members do not have. Because of the abundance of benefits to Greek Life, Burrell believes that, “there’s a lot more to Greek Life” than partying, and the benefits outweigh the…

    Honor Roll Accomplishments

    Joining the future business leaders of America, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, becoming a youth leader at Christ Church, as well as many other volunteering activities helped me enrich my community, and make an impact in the world around me. Along with these organizations, I have played several sports in high school, in my junior and senior years I settled on my two favorite sports, track and field, and volleyball. Within these sports I have made friendships with my teammates I will never forget, and learned important lessons in humbleness when winning, and cohere with my friends when losing. By being a member of any sports teams at my high school, I regularly attended many of my school’s events, giving me the opportunity to develop relationships, and gain a tremendous sense of pride in my school. I am looking forward to bringing this same sense of pride to my college, and making many new friendships along the way. I learned over the course of my education to this point, that when I became more involved with these activities, my performance in the classroom increased alongside my…

    Personal Statement Of Purpose: A Personal Experience

    Although these facts came as a shock to me, they also piqued my interest. Because much of my growth can be attributed to the extracurricular activities I have invested myself in, I cannot imagine myself without the demanding cross country practices, or the baked goods I sell to raise funds for Relay for Life, or the Gwinnett Student Leadership Team seminars that my peers and I plan for our school. Although, at times, I become more stressed with the extra demands of my club activities, the fruitful results allow me to relax as my efforts become tangible. By running, baking and socializing, I was able to briefly escape the academic pressures put on me by…
