Personal Narrative: Key Club
I lived behind closed doors up until my freshman year, that was when Key Club opened the doors for me.
I hope that this doesn’t come out too cheesy, but I am sharing my utmost candid reason of why I am in Key Club -- and it’s not about the volunteer hours. During my first year in Key Club, I loved every single event I went to, even if it was pouring down rain. I was surrounded by passionate Key Clubbers, and I eventually became one of them. The atmosphere in Key Club is so serene, yet energetic. I thrive to do help others and Key Club helps me do just that. There’s simply nothing negative to note about this club because all the positives overcome the bad.
On another less tacky note, my strengths and weaknesses as a leader are scarce because I haven’t had huge leadership roles before. From my leadership experiences in middle school, group projects and as Executive Assistant, I can say that my strengths are: time

I feel that communication and organization are a given goal since they are key to success in planning and running a club. I think these two can easily be achieved by strengthening friendship bonds and getting to know each other. Lastly, being active can mean two things: putting plans into action and attending the events. It is easy to plan and brainstorm of good ideas. The hard part is to gather all the necessities to make it happen. I plan to do this by setting deadlines for each event planning. For example, allowing three days to call other organizations to ask for volunteering opportunities and one day to gather supplies. Getting fellow board members to attend events is more difficult if they are amidst a busy time in their lives. I hope to schedule events that work for board members along with most club members. But, I know that I will be able to attend most events because my senior class schedule is not as excruciating as my junior year so I have more time on my

    The first strength that I have as a leader is my strong achievement drive and relentless dedication to complete each job successfully. When I am given a task or set a goal that I either need or want to accomplish I will work every possible minute to accomplish the task or meet my goal. If I reach a road block while working on a task I will search endlessly for a solution and fall back on resources if needed. I believe that nothing can keep me from accomplishing any goal that I set.…

    I feel that I am qualified to be an officer because I was a member, Vice-President, and then President of my high school’s volunteer club (Interact Club). I went to a small, Christian private school, and the club was student-lead with minimal help from our two faculty sponsors. The Interact Club was my greatest achievement in high school. Before my Secretary, and then Vice President and I came into office, even at our small school, many students, teachers and faculty were unaware of what Interact was and what we did in the community. We brought a new aura, publicity, worked exclusively with our Head of School, designed brand new t-shirts, brought in a new executive board, financial sponsors, and hosted our school’s very first talent show where…

    Since I was a kid I’ve noticed my home town of Pomona, CA had areas that were roughed up. Whenever I passed through main streets like Holt Avenue I could see sidewalks filled with homeless people & damaged property. Seeing my city in bad shape sparked something in me & I knew I wanted help better the city & give back to it but wasn’t really sure how to contribute up until high school. Sophomore year in high school I joined Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, MEChA, I was introduced into this club by a friend that was actively involved in it. MEChA’s main focus in the community was to help the Spanish speaking people within the community that were in need of help in school. Another club that I joined that year was Key Club International.…

    In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…

    It was my first year as a Key Club member and my excitement for Fall Rally North was insatiable. Every year, Key Club members from all over the San Francisco Bay Area gather at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom to show off their spirit for their respective division through cheers, spirit battles, and overall friendliness. As I sat on the bus seat, anticipating what was to come, I was also worried. Will I be able to meet new people? Will I have the courage to say “hi” to others, or will I be the one who gets said “hi” to? The park came in sight and immediately my worries dissipated and instead, transfigured into feelings of adrenaline and elation.…

    They thought it was funny, we actually became friends. The third guy just asked me why I loved him and I responded “because you're a beautiful human being”, he laughed and said nice to meet you. We also became friends. The girl that asked me why I told her I loved her said to me “before you say anything I’m not lesbian” I was really amused because I wasn’t flirting with her for her to think I actually liked her and loved her. I was the one feeling more awkward I have to admit. I told her it was a social experiment I was doing for my sociology class and apologized, she said “oh okay cool” and walked away. That was one of the most awkward situations I was put in throughout the experiment. When I broke the social norm with my professors it was…

    Ever since I was born, I was a military brat. Not knowing where to call home, or if any place could be home, I moved. I moved six times, four of those places were towns that nobody could think about. Germany, North Carolina, Alaska, North Carolina, Germany, and Alaska, yet no place to call home.

    When you enter a new environment where you barely knew anyone, trying new things can be intimidating – especially when you’re a new freshman student. One particular day, there were various booths scattered outside the cafeteria as students were eating lunch. Our school offers a great variety of clubs and were showcasing them that day, so that students may sign up for them. One booth that particularly stood out was the booth for Key Club, which was operated by some members rocking some orange gear. As I read more about the club, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to meet people as well as contributing to my community. I immediately picked up the pen and signed my name on the sign-up sheet. This marked the start of a great year.…

    As I was writing my personal narrative for my composition 1 class, it easily made my mind boggle. After I had got started on my personal narrative, it was easy for me to keep writing and keep following along the story line. The main strength of mine that the essay played to was my creativity and my flexibility for different writings, because I have never written an essay as serious and sad as this one, but I did have to add my happy ending when I finished the story. I wanted it to be very attention grabbing with a twist, but I also wanted it to be very emotional.…

    Football has always been a big part of my life. As a young boy I would day dream of making insane touchdowns, making tackles that would leave man stuck in the ground, and even winning the heisman trophy. In 7th grade I had begged my mother endlessly to sign me up for pee wee football because she would always worry about the risks of football. After finally getting her to sign me up, we went straight into the season. I chose to play running back because as a 12-year-old I was remarkably fast having timed 5.3 in the 40 yard-dash. After a few weeks in the season we approached the playoffs and found out our opponent for the first round of the playoffs were the jaguars who were undefeated. Our team didn’t have the best chemistry on…
