Personal Narrative: Brevard's Best

Decent Essays
My drive to serve others is a unique quality. Ever since kindergarten, I participated in numerous community service activities. Whether it was through dancing, a Girl Scout toy drive or volunteering at a hospital, I have always found happiness in bringing joy to other people.
Some say dance like nobody is watching, but I say the exact opposite. Since I was five, I have been a member of a nonprofit organization, “Brevard’s Best Youth Entertainment,” with the mission to travel to nursing homes and rehabilitation centers to perform dance shows. A signature event is the Tea Party held in honor of the 9/11 attacks whereby Brevard’s Best serves tea and performs a dance show. Seeing the audience members tap along to the beat of the taps and their

    The Crevasse “Adversity is the source of our deepest growth and greatest blessings; embrace it, dare to seek It,” that was a quote from Aron Ralston, who fell down a crevasse and his arm was wedged under a rock, which inspired the movie “127 Hours.” One day I was going to the creek with my friends, Matthew and Kendal, to hang out. We had this amazing spot that had a bridge that we made and everything. We were bringing further supplies to add on to the spot and make it look more visually appealing. When we arrived at the park we brought all of the supplies down under a bridge.…

    Jane Addams: I cannot trace the trail back to the day I wanted to start doing service-learning. I have always been involved in my community and doing different activities for organizations. I know that while I was growing up I was a part of many different service projects. One thing my family always did was bag up our old clothes and donate them every couple of months and I would always raid our cabinets for food drives. One of my favorite things to do as a child was to pick out a few different children during the Christmas season to give toys too.…

    I am truly honored as being a nominee for the Easton Chapter National Honor Society. The standards that must be proven to be nominated by this prestigious society are an example of the hard work and dedication I have exemplified in school. Throughout my years of schooling, I have tried my hardest to get good grades, while also demonstrating the characteristics that make up the National Honor Society; they are leadership, service, and character. While I have exhibited all three throughout my educational career, I feel that my service characteristic stands out above the rest. Service can mean many things, but to me, it means helping someone perform a task they can’t complete themselves, sacrificing your time, and assisting the less fortunate.…

    The North Dakota Association of Honor Society has four criteria that all members should possess and applicants must meet all four to be inducted: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Since I have been given the opportunity to fill out the application for the Honor Society and write this essay, I clearly have demonstrated skill in the Scholarship area. However, that still leaves three other areas. First is the area of Leadership. I have been entrusted by my peers to serve in various leadership positions both in the school and through other activities that I am involved with, which range from Class President to serving as a member of the school's Peer Leader Team.…

    Iclesias Phanord Breaking the Norm I’m surrounded by bouncing basketball and expectations. I had not yet found my vocation. However, many people around me had; whether it was basketball, cheerleading, or track - they had found a purpose that drove them.

    I just utilize every hour in my free time to provide unconditional servitude to my peers, school, and the community. I really enjoy helping out at my school’s graduation because I get to see my upperclassman friends graduate and to give many of the parents, a memorable day. Similarly, I take in a great delight when I get to be a tour guide for the freshman at the orientation to reveal how great is Belchertown High School and encourage to get involve and don’t be shy to serve our school and the community. I really believe teaching the younger kids to serve and go beyond is important because they don’t understand the importance of serving usually. In this case, I decided to share my experience of selfless service to the public to them and encourage the freshman to serve and give back to the…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
