Grand Challenges Program Analysis

Decent Essays
Since joining Boy Scouts I have gained a respect for charity workers and those whom sacrifice their time and money to help others. Following in their footsteps I found much joy and great experiences and I desire to continue in my work for others. For me, the Grand Challenges Program will be a great stepping stone in approaching my goal. In it I can combine my love for helping others with my field of interest and skill set. I know full well that this program will require sacrifice, but it will challenge me to work at my fullest potential so I can be the best in my area as I can. My hope is, that by participating in this program, I will be able to look back and say, “Wow, this really helped form who I am today”. I want it to cultivate in me the

    National Honor Society is more than just a club students join in high school for fun; it’s an organization made up of young brilliant minds that want to make a change, not only in their community, but in their own lives. NHS provides many functions that can improve a student’s personal insight on how they should live their life, but they all lead to one main function and it’s to prepare us for the real world. National Honor Society not only helps with self-improvement, but it also helps students keep a symbolic promise that they want to take a lead and help people around them become aware of the problems surrounding their community, and they want to help by constantly giving back and volunteering. National Honor Society offers the mentality…

    National Honor Society (NHS) is built upon four key values (scholarship, character, leadership, and service), and I think that I exemplify all four of these values, as I show them through my contribution to the club now and as I will show them through my future officer position of secretary; due to the fact that I exhibit these qualities, I will also be able to leave NHS better than I found when I leave the club in the future. NHS has offered lots of service opportunities since I have joined the club, and it offers a challenging experience for the top students in the sophomore through senior classes; fifty hours must be completed by the end of the year for returning members, and fifty hours must be completed by the next school year for new members. The club ultimately instilled in me important and very useful life qualities. The service activities that must be completed improve my work ethic and ability to work in groups with others, and they also help me get involved more with my community. As a future officer, I would be a great example for members because I have all the qualities needed to be a great NHS leader, allowing me to contribute to NHS as much as I can and to also mold future members to be like myself.…

    Volunteering at Veterans Affairs Medical Center was one of the greatest experience I've ever had. Sitting down with the elderly and getting to know them, I noticed if more teens could actually sit down and take the time to talk to an elderly person they could gain an opulent amount of knowledge. Sitting down and getting to talk an innumerable amount of veterans as I could, I was intrigued by how each person had a story of their own going through WWII. Voluntarily, I was able to contribute to the organization by having open conversations with the veterans, providing beverages, and having a great time. It wasn't till the end of the program when my perception began to change about the organization I volunteered for, it's more than just about kids…

In addition, I also invested a good portion of my time into my school’s band program. Although balancing academics and such a demanding extracurricular activity was difficult, I managed to find the time to also participate in very rewarding organizations such as National Honor Society, among others.…
