Relay For Life

Throughout my high school career, I did not show academic excellence from freshman year until the beginning of junior year. When junior year came by, I decided to show my academic potential by signing myself up for Post Secondary Enrollment Option at Concordia University. Following this commitment towards Concordia, it helped bring out my academic abilities by trying harder in school now so that I could get accepted into the PSEO program, which would help pay for parts of my tuition for college. Gradually, I started to show more interest for my academics-- which taught me to become a leader not only to myself, but also to my family and peers. My commitment towards leadership and service to be a more positive difference-maker was brought up
Taking care of my younger siblings while my parents were out at work, I taught my siblings valuable life lessons. Learning to love one another, to not get frustrated over little things, and teaching them how to cook. From there on I started to demonstrate my leadership throughout school. From family to school, I decided to set an example of a good samaritan at school. By picking up litter that others had left lying around the school and throwing it away, it helped bring a more positive environment towards the school setting. My commitment towards making a positive impact in the community began with joining Relay For Life, which is a fundraising opportunity towards cancer research. Relay For Life has made a positive impact in the community because the money fundraised goes towards finding a cure for cancer. I had also made a positive difference in the community, and even overseas, by packaging food for children in less developed countries with Feed My Starving
Then, in the future by taking my college courses serious, I can show the rewards by having good grades and graduating from college. Being able to show my academic excellence in the future will be challenging though, because if I do not have any scholarships or financial aid then it will be a struggle staying in college, having to pay for the tuition. As a way to show my commitment towards the community, I will participate in Relay For Life, which is a fundraising program for cancer research. Within my team, we have to raise $1400 by the end of the school year, and to make this difference we will be fundraising at Tartan High School. Staying overnight and doing various activities will help make the community around Tartan High School a more positive environment. As we all come and unify together for a probable cause, we will positively make an impact towards the community and the school
