Reflection: 30 Week In Honors Service Learning
An activity that stood out to me this week in honors service learning was when we played that leadership game. One person went out of the room and we chose someone else to “command” the room. We would all have to do the same motions that they would do and the other person had three tries to guess who it was. I had never played that kind of activity, but I think it was fun and really showed who can be a leader. If i have the opportunity at my service site I am going to try and play this game with the kids. In this piece of writing quotation 30 days of inspiration by Elizabeth Felts She tells the characteristics that a truly inspirational person has. I agree with her because all the characteristics fit so well when it comes to being an inspirational

    Durant National Honor Society Scholarship Essay

    It was an amazing feeling to give to the community in that way. I was selected as the master of ceremony for our yearly Veterans Day Assembly this year also. It was an honor to be able to lead the assembly and make sure that the veterans were honored for their true acts of bravery. Also through National Honor Society, I planned a Red Out at a basketball game, a Cardiac Ball, and a 3-on-3 tournament in order to spread awareness and collect donations for the American Heart Association. We ended up raising 2,000 dollars for such a great cause!…

    Why Attend A Service Academy Essay

    At a service academy, the people that attend are there to get an education and train to be an officer in the military. They are there to gain valuable life and military skills. In my opinion, that is more appealing than any college. I want to surround myself with people that have the same goals and aspirations as me, and I believe that the Academy can provide that. During the week that I was at the Air Force summer seminar, I learned about life at the Academy. I knew going into that week, that I would either love it or hate it. Throughout the week I spent time doing physical training, going to classes, and learning about life at the Academy. After that week, I knew I wanted to attend the Air Force Academy. I knew I belonged. I want to attend…

    Reflection: Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society

    As an executive officer in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, each individual is responsible for a legacy project during the school year. I was responsible for SOS Children’s Village which is a foster care neighborhood that houses children that were abused, neglected and/or abandoned. Even though this was a one-day experience, I was thrilled about the opportunity to work with children as I believe that no child should be denied proper medical care and a healthy home. It is said that time goes by when you are having fun. This was true for our experience as we went four hours over time. I coordinated leadership and team building activities for the children in which both the volunteers and participants enjoyed. Who knew that in five hours’ strong bonds can be developed with a stranger that you might not encounter again.…

    Characteristics Of National Honor Society

    Though I undoubtedly cherished every moment with all of the activities I had participated in throughout high school, the one I yearn to continue is being an active member of the National Honor Society. Service is one of the four characteristics National Honor Society members represent and is my personal favorite aspect of National Honor Society. Since being inducted my junior year, I have found a new appreciation for giving back to my community. My chapter partakes in many different types of volunteer work for our small town like hosting blood drives, teacher appreciation week, and our own personal service projects. I feel like my community has done so much for me and I love that I have the opportunity to give back to it alongside my peers…

    Honor Society Examples

    Service is one pillar of the national honors society that I believe a lot in. I believe that service presents so many opportunities and is such a meaningful way for one to spend their time. During my years at Barrington High School thus far, I have participated in many service projects including packing school supplies for children in foster care, collecting money at ALS tag days, and working with children with disabilities in a horseback riding rehabilitation program. Every week I was excited to see the progress of the children I worked with as they grew through horseback riding, and I am proud to say I played a part in…

    Mid service learning reflection

    I am currently completing my service learning at Martin Luther King Elementary School working with children ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade in an after school program. This program provides the children with a safe and comforting place to do their homework, hangout with their friends, and get a snack. Since I am just getting to know these children I do not know everything about them and their background, so I do not have a lot of examples that relate back to the class work we do. In class I feel as if a lot of the material we focus on relates back to the parents, home life, and how they have been raised thus far. I only see them once a week, so I cannot make judgments regarding their course of development and influences that have left impacts on their life. The two examples that I have noticed that we have covered in class include Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and The Ecological Systems Theory. I have noticed elements of the Sociocultural Theory in the children’s dialogue. Considering their age the children have a very advanced dialogue with rather colorful language. Personally, I was not even familiar with some of these words that Kindergarteners and 1st graders are expressing. I think this has to do with the culture they were raised and possibly the community. I think that the Kindergarteners at the school pick up on language that is used by the older kids and then they start to say it. Although teachers and administrators try their best to stop the kids from using bad language and reprimanding them when they do I feel as if the colorful language they have come to know is forever imbedded in their brain. I think the Ecological Systems Theory plays a big role in understanding these children and the school I am working at. For me it was rather different to go into a school like this in a bad neighborhood and see children behaving in ways that I had never seen before. However, for the teachers that work there are so used to it they don’t even…

    Grit Essay Examples

    People who've we've looked up to, or ways we ourselves have surpassed obstacles and succeeded. My personal example of grit, was the hard road I took, trying to learn English. I was young, the age of six, when I first came to America. I could speak broken English, with a very heavy Indian accent. It was hard, seeing as my mother was a literary fanatic. The idea that her daughter was having trouble with a language that she fell in love with overseas, was hard for her to bear. I could barely write, and being in a classroom with people who spoke it so often, it was tough. I was put into ESL, which was an English learning program, for people who spoke English as a second language. My teacher was a kindhearted woman, named Mrs. Armano. She and I worked, and little by little, I began to learn English. Everyday, she and I would converse and speak. In about one and a half years, I could speak English fluently. It was amazing, with my own hard work I was able learn English, a language that was so daunting. Despite the strange rules, and my difficulty with grammar, I was able to speak. Now, my vocabulary has expanded beyond what I ever thought possible. I myself, have demonstrated grit, a trait I didn’t know existed until a short while…

    Reflective Essay: My Community Service Experience

    My community service experience took place in my local area in Sylmar. I was volunteering at Angels of the Valley, which is a facility that they take care of seniors and patients. I assisted the administrator, she showed me a lot of things and explained what is her role in her job. I found this very interesting. I believe that community service and volunteerism like this are very important. By spending your free time helping others in their community, you can experience and learn new things like what I did in this facility by preparing and giving the patients right of medicine, cooking food for them, and supervise the whole facility.…
