FPS is a challenge that I enjoy. Through this club/program, I am able to use my imagination and research skills to solve problems for the future. It lets me practice now for real life later. Moreover, it allows me to collaborate with my friends to do an activity we all enjoy.
5. Why do you want to be an officer?
Ever since 6th grade, FPS has been an important part of my life. I not only think about how I am performing in competitions, but also how my team overall is working. I enjoy helping others learn and refine the process. By becoming an officer, I will be able to take a bigger part in this program. Instead of just being a participant, I will be able to become a mentor and a leader in FPS and give back to the program and implement improvements. …show more content…
I took charge of my team, reminding them of due dates and club practices. I made sure my group’s FPS fees were paid and their forms handed in, often messaging and calling them when they continually forgot. I also organized meetings for my team to practice for competitions, to complete booklets, and to research. During State Bowls, I helped Ms. Hannon hand out t-shirts and meal cards and find seats. Once I am given a responsibility, I ensure I fulfill it to the best of my ability. Moreover, I am experienced in the FPS process, so I can help teach newcomers and refine the veterans’ skills. I have gone to IC twice and participated in FPS for 5 years, giving me the experience to help others through the process and run the club. In addition, I have commitment to the club. I have gone to all the FPS club meetings I could go to, excluding the ones during winter season, which I was unable to attend due to varsity fencing. Nevertheless, I go to the necessary and mandatory club meetings during winter season. I want this club to do well, and I am will to put in the time and effort to help run this …show more content…
I want to encourage the upper classmen to help the freshmen and “rookies” so that we can send more teams to the State Bowl and International Conference as well as strengthen upperclassmen-freshmen relationships. In the beginning of the year, I realized that most upper classmen usually do not come to the meetings. I understand that most people may have conflicts with the same meeting days. We could have meetings that switch between two days every other week so that more people could come. With more participation in each meeting, North can build up its freshmen and improve the skills of the upperclassmen. Additional club time could also be used to go over FPS rules and website to avoid team disqualifications because many teams may not be used to the changes the FPS website has gone under. Moreover, in order to encourage people to come, the officers could bring food to the meetings. Instead of just lectures, the officers could lead small groups in discussions and drills with snacks to motivate learning. In addition, in order to increase club cohesion, the officers could send out a short email to everyone to update the club members on what is currently going on and what events and activities are coming
