During my senior year of high school, I was the National Honor Society Treasurer. When I ran for this position, I was oblivious to responsibility, time, and effort I was bound to confront, however, when my term was up, I realized that I went in as just an officer and left as a leader. As treasurer, I was responsible for going beyond the minimal fifty hours of community service—as well as verifying the time other members completed.…
As a Key Club Officer I believe that I would be bringing numerous ideas and leadership qualities that would benefit the club. While I do not have much experience with Key Club, I have vast amounts of experience with volunteer work and fundraising activities. I have been volunteering at the Hunterdon Medical Center for a year now. There, I assist visitors in finding their loved ones rooms, delivering flowers and other arrangements to the patients and answering any other questions they may have. Additionally to my volunteer work, I have participated in Toys for Tots through the Del Val Cheerleading team during my freshmen and sophomore years and other small fundraising events.…

My position in student government has always asked me to think critically and creatively. In ASB, associated student body, we create events, dances, and pep rallies for students in the school to enjoy. I have been in ASB since 9th grade and I have always been a dedicated member. I was applied for ASB as class president and was elected by my class to that position. I held the position for two years and then became a director of extracurricular activities for one year.…
I would like to give back to the future members. I am an advocate of inclusivity because I do not want to leave other people behind. As an HGR, I am already familiar with programming events to keep members involved. Part of programming is working on a budget and therefore I am already familiar how to be wise in making sure that I get the most out of the money allotted. As mentioned earlier, I always come in with a smile and a positive attitude and this will send a message to committee members that they part and welcome in the club.…

So in turn, we had the idea to create a Spanish Club to represent one of the minority majorities prevalent in our school. Through Spanish Club, my responsibilities ranged from initial promotion of the new club to tracking new memberships, organizing advertisements and assisting the president in running meetings/events. I believe that in order to broaden the range of influence that one must become more familiarized with their community. Moreover, I am also involved in my district through the Superintendents Advisory board as a council…
When I started with these organizations, I could not wait, especially to start volunteering. Now today, I am just as excited to have the opportunity of being the treasurer of Key Club. As a freshman, I’ve had a year of growth and it allowed me to open my eyes to the world of Key Club. I have pulled weeds, cut box tops,…
Every year I am elected to be class president. I believe the class votes for me because they know I am responsible and they trust me with the class actions. Another role of leadership I have had was being a member of the AAL (Advanced Association of Leaders). Our student counselor asked eight of us to join the association that she erected to benefit the attitude in our school. Mrs. Hessling chose us because we were the role models for the younger kids and examples for our peers.…
Howard’s core value system shows prospective and current students how they should behave and how they will be judged. I’ve always been confident in my abilities to live up to an honor code, and I think that my values are in perfect alignment with Howard University’s. I believe that excellence cannot be demonstrated through singular actions, but should be looked upon in context with all of your actions. I have shown excellence in my life through my work ethic, dedication to and passion for learning.…
I decided that I would take leadership roles throughout high school in order to help serve the less fortunate. KEY Club, a service and fundraising club, became my focus, and I travelled up the ranks to become the school’s external affairs manager and the service committee chair of the Eastern Canada District. As I introduced more extra-curricular activities into my life, organization became more important -- and I was shocked to see how much it helped me save…

Ever since I was a little girl, my dad and I had this saying before I got dropped off for school, "Dare to be great! Don't be average! " I kept those words in mind with everything that I decided to pursue in school, whether it be choir, AP classes or clubs. That being said, when I pushed myself to be the best that I could be, I was able to immerse myself into activities and learn multiple lessons from each of them. When I registered for middle school, I randomly chose show choir as my elective because it seemed the most interesting out of my limited choices.…
In my experience, Key Club has been a sanctuary for all people. No matter from what lunch table you sit in or faction you reside, you fit in. Key Clubbers all have a similar interest in doing good for others, and thus have banded together into one large, diverse family. Key Club’s a blast for all the kids that are volunteering as they are helping others and making the world a better place. It’d be in my best interest to serve and support this growing community of volunteers.…
