Personal Narrative: Phi Theta Kappa Officer

Decent Essays
There is never a day when I don't look at myself in amazement. That is because I am still surprised that I did not quit the Phi Theta Kappa officer team. Even though I keep myself from having emotional breakdowns on campus, there were days I questioned why I am still an officer. If anybody told me that I would be a chapter officer of an internationally proclaimed honor society, I would smile while laughing hysterically in my head. I barely could talk in front of a crowd, let alone lead an entire chapter. Now, I can say that my communication skills have dramatically improved. As an officer, I saw gradual improvement in my speaking and writing skills. With the officer-led Forums, inductions, television interviews, and writing articles for

    Phi Theta Kappa was founded in 1918 and is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious honor society serving two-year colleges worldwide. I was recently extended an invitation to become a member of the Alpha Xi Iota Chapter due to the time spent so far earning my associates degree and my cumulative 4.0 GPA. I had never considered joining an organization like this but after some research I think this could certainly benefit my future both professionally and personally. Phi Theta Kappa ’s mission is to recognize achievement of college students and to provide opportunities for them to grow as scholars and leaders.…

    Although you have to be 36 years old to legally become the president of the United States, I feel as if I’ve experienced an aspect of presidency in my fourteenth year of living. Of course, it is obvious that being president of my middle school’s National Junior Honor Society is nowhere near being the president of the United States. But in fact, my experience depicts a quite harrowing and concerning aspect of presidency. In an interwoven city and school, creating close relationships was inevitable.…

    The sky was thickened with smog blocking out the sun which gives the sky a orangish gray look. The streets polluted with random junk and homeless people who blend into their surroundings. The cars drive over head as I walk under the highway towards the skatepark, oil drips from above. I look for my friends to tell them the news. They probably won’t have any feeling for what I say since nobody gives a shit about anything, not even themselves.…

    I began to pack up at the end of the day and my teacher had one last announcement, ‘Tomorrow I would like you all to bring in an object for show and tell. Something that describes you or is very special to you.’ I began my thought, then determined that it was in fact homework and waited until then.
