NCSA Meeting For this assignment I choose to go to an NCSA meeting, NCSA means Northland college student association. This association helps voice student concerns to faculty and to help come up with solutions. They sponsor student clubs and events for the students and community. Each group that represents the different parts of campus shares with the group the concerns that have been presented to them during that particular week.…
Although we live in a small subsidized housing, we're one united, large and festive family and things are beginning to get better. Now, I continuously challenge myself by expanding my knowledge and developing new talents and experiences. Currently, I'm in the cast of a town musical, Sister Act, operate my business online and run a Black Student Union social consciousness club. In the final analysis, this story becomes a lesson learnt, a base from which I have grown with a right mindset, strengthened ambition and leadership skills to contribute to grand things to come.…
I am writing to express my interest in joining Collegiate 100. I strongly admire the work of your sponsoring chapter, The 100 Black Men. The 100 Black Men of Chicago, Inc. (my hometown's chapter) continues to be a dominant presence and uplifts the community through events such as their scholarship and job fairs. Upon moving to Houston this past August, I was thrilled to see that The 100 Black Men had established an extension of their efforts within the college community.…
Being the co-founder of a club is a challenge that can be overcomed with strong resilience skills and the desire to pursue a clear goal. When my partner and I were thinking about starting something new, we focused on things that we either cared about or enjoyed doing. Since we were both undocumented, I brought up the idea of creating a club that would unite students together regardless of their citizenship status. As a result, we created the Latinos United Club. In my mind I pictured a club that will balance educational and cultural support.…

I have also been involved with my Future Business Leaders of America chapter and am the president of the club. Being so helps me give to the community and school by starting fundraisers for the March of Dimes, running cereal drives for the food pantry, and donating time to other organizations. I lead the meetings and discuss with my chapter what they want to do and what imprint they want to leave on our school as a chapter. FBLA has helped me reach out to my community like all of my other leadership roles I play a part…
My two most substantial accomplishments are becoming the President of the St. John’s University NAACP and interning for the House of Representatives this past summer. I view these two accomplishment as substantial because I believe I defied the odds to achieve them. When I became an executive board member of the St. John’s University NAACP, serving as the chapter’s first Membership Chair, I told myself that I never wanted to serve as President. I felt as if I wouldn’t be capable to handle all the worries and stress that went along with holding such a high position. Unbeknownst to me, the next academic year, I would be serving as President of the St. John’s University NAACP.…
The subculture I chose is the FFA which is also known as the future farmer organization. I started in this organization when I was a sophomore in high school. The organization starts in the middle school and goes into high school. My high school isn’t big on FFA, so I had to find out through a mutual friend. When I started in this club I didn’t know what to except so I was shy at first and didn’t volunteer for activates as much as I should have.…
Multicultural Club A lot of us have a discourse community that we feel like we belong in. Before reading John Swales essay, I thought a discourse community is a group of people that have shared goals and purposes. But after reading John Swales essay he have made me realize that there is more to a discourse community than only having common goals and purposes but also has its own mechanism that is used mostly for communication and to provide valuable information or a feedback, using a genre(s) especially for a particular jargon, and "A discourse community has a threshold level of members with a suitable degree of relevant content and discourse expertise" (471-473). That means that discourse community has members in different levels like the experts and the beginners.…
The club is compromised of an open-minded, diverse collaboration of youth who diligently fight for racial equality. Ethnic tension has always been extremely prevalent at my school--students often choose to segregate themselves by hues of skin pigmentation. At the root of this tension is restless silence on the most controversial topics, and thus Black Student Union was created to spark intelligent dialogue and debate on racial issues. Growth flourishes at every meeting, newfound respect and comprehension generated between students of vastly divergent backgrounds. I channel my pride in my black heritage into the empowerment of local black students and education on cross-racial understanding that takes place at BSU.…
“encourage Black Student Unions to pursue graduate and professional study; network Black Student Unions in pursuit of public, private, and non-profit employment; maximize the participation of Black Student Unions in select campus curricular and co-curricular activities. STEM, study abroad, undergraduate research and student government/leadership” (NBSU). BSU is important today because its more vital than ever to know and understand your…
Prior to studying and having a better understanding of culture, I had a bleak view of one of the communities in which I am a part of, which is the African American community. My views stemmed from my parents, other relatives, and peers, all of whom are a part of the same racial group. Since a majority of our time were spent with those from within the African American community, we would have a wide range of positive and negative experiences. However, the negative experiences were the primary focus and were used to generalize our group. This misguided focus would aid in a conclusion that African Americans as a whole were solely to blame for being lower on a hierarchical basis compared to other racial groups.…
I am interested in membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., because of what Delta represents. To me Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. represents strong, educated black woman that are dedicated to improving their community. When I was a child I always said that I wanted to improve my community. As I grew up I saw how children from impoverished homes were not always exposed or given the opportunity to achieve a better life. That’s when I realized that we have to help our youth in order to see a change in our community.…
In my second year of medical school, I took up the opportunity to become a leader by establishing a charitable organization at my university. With the help of a few executive board members that I put together, I was able to start up a chapter on my campus of one of the world’s largest, student driven, nonprofit, medical missions’ organization known as Global Brigades. I thought of the idea, while I was pondering about joining a medical fraternity. The organization’s online ad had shown up on my computer and I thought I would join. As soon as I contacted the advisor, she suggested that I start a chapter on my campus.…
As the leader of the blue-ribbon committee, it is my job to expose the race relations occurring in the country right now. The relationship between African Americans and whites is very toxic. At the end of the Civil War, several opportunities were granted to African Americans such as voting rights, citizenship and the abolition of slavery however, African Americans never felt that these rights were granted to them. The problems that need to be addressed are the lack of integration of African Americans in the south and the dehumanizing cycle of manual labor for African Americans. Our job is to provide to provide equal opportunities to African Americans.…
