My chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is Alpha Beta Zeta, located at Radford University. Each member is required to get 35 community service hours each semester. Service projects occur around the New River Valley and help a variety of community organizations. Because Alpha Phi Omega has a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, we host many projects that allow us to help them facilitate big events. Projects I have worked on include: cleaning a local daycare center, performing trail maintenance along a portion of the Appalachian Trail, collecting food for Meals on Wheels, raising money for different causes, running youth programs for Boy Scouts and 4-H events, cleaning our Adopt-A-Spot, beautifying local parks, and many other programs. Over the…
As a humble alumna of Savannah State University, I believe I have much to achieve in life. As the youngest of four siblings who all value education and prosperity, I was taught to excel in everything I do. I am a native of Savannah, Georgia and I have lived here all of my life. Due to great effort and my love for learning, I received a four year academic scholarship to Savannah State University (which I am so grateful for).…

Throughout my school years, I have always wanted to help in the community and make an impact to others therefore when entering my freshman year, I joined many different clubs but one stood out to me which was Key Club assists students in carrying out its mission to serve the children of the world. In the club, we do many acts of service in their communities, such as cleaning up parks, collecting clothing and organizing food drives. We also learn leadership skills by running meetings, planning projects and more so. It provides its members with opportunities to provide service, build character and develop leadership. One thing that impacted me from doing community work was the Eliminate Project which is a campaign to raise $110 million to eliminate…
From talks about careers, to events with alumni, to meeting an amazing mentor that has become like family, to simply learning lessons about the importance of thank you notes from Ms. Tensie Taylor, BAA has had a huge impact on my Junior year. Thus, I hope that through completing my education, I will have the opportunity to give back to the school and the BAA, the way you all have given back to me, in order to help other students that face similar situations. So that they may have access to the same…
Yet, the various organizations at Austin College sparked my interest, and slowly but surely I began to get involved. Although I have been overwhelmed at times, I quickly learned that being involved in the Sherman community and Austin College’s organizations have become a vital part of my college experience. My experience in these short 7 months have taught me the value of service and being involved. When I performed service events in the past, it was to gain service hours and build up a résumé. Now I serve because helping others give me a genuinely great feeling. My involvement in organizations has helped me to develop character traits such as, integrity, leadership, and service, and other traits that simply cannot be taught in a classroom. I know that these everlasting seeds of integrity, service, and leadership will continue to flourish well beyond college.…
Within my school, I am also a member of the Bass fishing team, Volunteens, and National Honor Society (NHS). I have been a member of my high school bass fishing team for all four years of high school. On the team I compete in tournaments each spring to earn a spot on the post season roster. Members of the team are also required to sell raffle tickets to pay for our shirts and other expenses. My freshman year on the team I was one of the top sellers, selling over one-hundred tickets and have continued selling as many as possible. I discovered that the best way is to sell the tickets at our high school boys basketball home games and at the community fish fries. Volunteering in my community is also very important to me, and because of this I joined the Volunteens at my school. With the Volunteens I have helped with the paper…
I would like to immensely thank each and every one of the donors for the Marine Corps Scholarship for providing the funds for not only myself, but many others, to allow us to achieve a post-secondary education. Without their generous contributions, many of us would not be able to continue—or even began—our path to higher education. My gratitude cannot be expressed enough to the donors for allowing me to continue my college education.…
It is with great honor that I am applying for the Huston Family Scholarship awarded by the Huston family. By receiving this recognition I will be able to move quickly with my positive attitude and determination to work towards my career goal of being a English Teacher as well as a Director. I feel as though I am worthy to be considered due to my personal qualities of being kind, caring, understanding, patient and helpful. I have to use all these skills at my job, which I constantly move up in, and my involvement in school activities. I help tutor my friends in math and there is a noticeable difference in their grade. With the National Honor Society, I have done a lot of volunteer hours, all of which have taken patience, kindness, determination…

All throughout school I have participated in many clubs and organizations that have not only molded me as a person, but have helped me to develop responsibility, and leadership skills. Currently I am an active member of National Honor Society, and DECA. Both of these organizations, provided by my high school, encourage leadership, volunteer work, and have high expectations for behavior, and grades. Being in National Honor Society has shown me to continually do for others in need. There are always opportunities to get involved with the community, and even create drives for things like stuffed animals, and blankets for children who are sick in the hospital, and “Care Catties” for cancer patients, which include tissues, water bottles, hard candy, and lotion. DECA is another organization I am involved in at Frenship High School. DECA is a business organization for high school marketing students looking to learn, develop and compete in a competitive event. I have been a member since my sophomore…
Throughout my three years at Woonsocket High School, I grew as in individual. Enhanced my sense of the community. Also I have advanced my knowledge basis to prepare myself for the workforce and life outside of school. These are all important things because they taught me what life as an adult might be and taught me a lot. Woonsocket High was a very good environment for me. Sometimes I felt like school was very stressful, but I could I say I saw Woonsocket High School grow as a school, and I’m happy to be apart of the class of 2016.…
To my knowledge, there is only one Landon Follett Van Wagoner in the world, but what's in a name? I suppose that my upbringing isn't far off the norm for a BYU student. I grew up in Bountiful Utah and was blessed to be raised in a family that is active in the church, where my siblings and I learned the foundational lessons of faith. I am presently serving a mission in Melbourne Australia, and I will be attending Brigham Young University this fall.…
