My Accomplishments
The top two things in which I excel most in is academic writing and meaningful volunteer service. Growing up, writing has always been a huge passion of mine and which I have developed and excelled in over the years. My freshman, sophomore, and senior year of high school I was the one who wrote the most in yearbooks while also editing and critiquing my classmates work. I also tutored and advised younger classmates in English and academic writing. In addition, I have written for Teen Ink magazine and plan to submit more work to other publishers. My biggest accomplishment however, is being accepted into the Student Conference of Language and Literature and having the opportunity to present my research paper on cheerleading being recognized as an official sport in the United States.
Volunteer service is another aspect in which I excel and wish to enculturate more in my life. A year ago, I went to Africa and visited villages and served those in need at an orphanage and school. This experience opened my eyes and I have a desire to go back after college and set up schools for women in villages where they can learn to be teachers and then educate the children in their towns. I also became the representative for volunteer service my senior

I am motivated and very goal driven. I am excited about my education here and learning how I can be a difference maker. I am very passionate about volunteer service and finding ways how to help those in need and making the community stronger. Because I have traveled and moved around quite a bit over my life, I have a very open mind and a diverse understanding of the world. I have strong leadership skills which have been displayed throughout my work place and school over the years. I love to teach and and motivate others. The Honors Program offered here at UNK is the best fit for me and I know that the program will help me to excel even more over the years leading up to

    Volunteering for service hours changed my outlook on life. I worked with the Hydrocephalus Association in both eleventh and twelfth grade. The Hydrocephalus Association focuses on three things community, clarity, and cure. Hydrocephalus is a condition defined by an abnormal, excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the cavities of the brain. Some people with this condition can live a normal life being unnoticeable while other have difficulties. The association works on awareness to find a cure, clarity in helping families further understand the condition, and a community which will always be supportive. Service hours can sometimes be a hassle but once I started volunteering with that association it became fun because I was…

    Service is one of the things I love to do because I love helping people and volunteering. I volunteer every Sunday for four hours at the Queen of Vietnamese Martyrs Parish where I help kids to learn more about God and at the same time gain spiritual guidance. I help plan and coordinate activities and events for the kids to make their learning as fun as possible as well as making them more enthusiastic to go to Sunday school. I enjoy volunteering because it helps me become more diverse than what I already am and to meet new people.…

    Volunteering has always been an important aspect of my life. Whether donating food or painting a house, it has allowed me to be extremely grateful and humble for my lifestyle because everybody is not as blessed as I am. Volunteering has taught me that even the smallest gift, such as a smile, can be a great gift to someone because it can show that you care and want to be involved. It has allowed me to develop soft skills, and learn more about myself and my HBCU community. One of my greatest accomplishment in life was that I volunteered 1,000 hours in high school.…

    The third program I helped with was a soccer tournament that my fellow Bhutanese immigrants organized between teams from other states. As I volunteered there, I helped prepare food for the players, I picked up the trash, and I gave water to the players after the game. The purpose of the soccer tournament was to have fun and enjoy playing sports. I would like to join a soccer team when I go to high school. In the future, I would like to volunteer in a program that helps people who are facing cancer.…

This past year my goal was to get high honors because, I have never goton my GPA that high honors and that was such a big accomplishment for me. An award that I was proud of was when I got my citizen ship award. That award proved to me that I was kind, helpfull, and ect.

    I was involved in many service learning experiences all throughout highschool. I was on National Honors Society and we would ring bells for Salvation Army and adopt children around Christmas time. We often volunteered at schools to help watch children, while parents were receiving help in finding careers or when they were being helped in some other manner. However, my favorite service learning that I was involved in was helping coach Special Olympics. This service learning is one of the reasons I am becoming a teacher, and one of the main reasons why my focus is Special Education. I coached my team in soccer, basketball, and track. I loved every minute of it. I spent more time with those kids than I have with any other service learning combined. I coached them starting my sophomore year all the way until I left for college. It was hard leaving my team and I am upset that I cannot go back and see them more often. Service learning has made a huge impact on my life and is something that everyone should become involved with. When you find that one cause that you are passionate about helping with it can transform your life like it did…
