One breath away! One breath away, someone is freezing, all alone. The last shred of warmness in his body will be gone. His heart will turn cold. He is one breath away from complete coldness.…
"It's every man for himself", a quote that I more or less went by. Truth be told, I wasn't always one to care about the wellbeing of the community. My wellbeing was my main focus. The thoughtof doing volunteer service never crossed my mind, until it became mandatory, in order to be inducted in the National Honor Society. After participating in a few projects and events, from what seemed to be a tedious activity turned out to be a rewarding experience.…
For as long as I can remember, my family has taught me that you are supposed to do good things, not looking for any reward. I have maintained this motto throughout my life. This shows true as my accredited service hours equate to almost 1000, just in these 3 short years of high school. I volunteer for the Hilton Raiders to be their teen coach, help in Make a Difference Day, and have participated in multiple walks to raise awareness for a numerous amount of causes. I feel that it is my responsibility as a functioning citizen, to participate in making our community a better…
Junior year of high school I attended a school called; Columbus Downtown High School.

There were a few select programs you could go for such as: Cosmetology, ROTC, Police Enforcement, Culinary Arts, and Business. I chose to go for was Culinary Arts. Junior year was an exciting year for the two years I went there.…
The National Honor Society (NHS) is a premier organization of high school students in the United States that was established to recognize excellence in students. But more than just being an honor roll, The National Honor Society serves to encourage students to go beyond academics and excel in the areas of leadership, community service, and character building. To become a member, one must exemplify the four pillars of the National Honor Society, which are character, leadership, scholarship, and service. I truly believe that I demonstrate all of these traits.…
As a kid, I was close to my grandpa. Later on, I learned that he was one of the cofounders of Saihat Society for Social Services, which’s the first established social organization nationwide. The weird thing that I found is that none of my uncles nor my dad have followed in his foot steps. I can’t force them to do anything but I can do something myself. I can give back to the community that I grew up in.…
Whether it be starting a medical clinic for low income families or affording the opportunity to young adults to have a college education I am unsure, but my goal is to help my community make a change for the better. That would be “living an amazing life.” 4. What are some of the “keys” to long life?…
The term honor in National Honor Society can be used to describe an individual that shows integrity, equality and respect through their actions. As a student of Beacon high school, I have made many efforts to model my daily actions around exemplifying the student of honor. Through demonstrations of leadership, character, and service, I have shown my qualification to be admitted into the National Honor Society. I exhibit good character to the community by helping to teach younger children during Sunday school at my church. For the past three months I have volunteered in the youth department teaching elementary students ethical lessons, actively shaping their morals.…
Three years elapsed, and with those years gone, so were my hardships. The start of my fourth year marked the turning point for me and what made my final year in high school a memorable one. Unlike the years prior where my opinion didn’t matter, my senior year was when I was finally recognized and praised for my abilities. I felt like I was an asset to the team rather than someone who was just taking up space. I was given first priority when the time had come to pick numbers.…
I do that now by taking part in as many services as possible. In the future I hope to continue my efforts in community service and I also hope to bring light to situations that are often overlooked, in my college major path of Global Media Studies. All of this is so very much important to me because I believe that having a broad perspective on how things are and helping to support the truth is important in shaping a healthy…
There are many different ways in order to give back to the community. A few of these ways include money, time and attitude. Money is, of course, essential to living, therefore a huge amount of money would definitely be helpful but not always necessary. One person does not need to give thousands of dollars to make a difference because someone else can give one dollar and still impact the community. It should be an effort from everyone in the community to give back that way one person doesn 't have to give everything.…
What have you done to make your school or your community a better place? 370 “With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it don 't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together.” This quote from the recent film Hacksaw Ridge embodies my sentiment that brightening up someone’s day is the best feeling in the world for me. This desire to help others prompted me to volunteer for two years at UCLA hospital to help transport patients. Hospital patients often deal with severe pain and sometimes loneliness, and I knew that giving some of my time could improve their moods and outlooks.…
Describe your commitment to your community through service-oriented activities such as volunteer work, civic and other group activities. My feelings about serving the community can be expressed by this quote from Mother Teresa, “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothe me. I was homeless and you took me in.”…
Saving Our Youth Thesis Statement: Although it encourages an early start of sexual activity, condoms should be more accessible to teens because it promotes the practice of safe sex at an early age, it will help avert teenage sexual transmitted infections/ diseases, it will help lower and prevent teenage pregnancy rate from rising. Paragraph II A. To begin with I believe condoms should be more accessible to teens because it encourages and educates the youth on the practice of safe sex at an early age. 1. Schooling that educates the youth about abstinence and safe sex as well as contraception, including condom use, will help them to delay first sex. • Most of today’s youth when you educate them about things like gun violence and thing to that nature they are more educated and less likely to do certain…
