People to People Student Ambassador Program

not from serving myself. Because of this, my true passion in life is doing what I can for whomever I can, and what better place to pursue this passion than in the 4-H Ambassador program. 4-H has made a major impact on my life. I do not believe I would be where I am today if it was not for the opportunities presented to me in programs sponsored by 4-H. My first experiences started when I was very young entering crafts and art and photos into the 4-H expo at our local fair. This was about…

a previous ambassador at my high school, I have found a fond passion of servant leadership. What I loved most of all about being an ambassador was teaching and interacting with other students who were passionate about learning and serving other people; this program brought out the best in me as a person and a Hawaiian leader. I'm hoping that being apart of these programs would help me to find a common interest and passion with others at Pace. I mainly want to work with other students who want to…

have seen that with the right people and the right tools in the classroom, bilingual education can go a far way. I have seen that being bilingual education has its many benefits that help students be more confident on who they are as a person and who they are culturally. Bilingualism is a huge part of a student’s identity especially if they have grown up in mixed cultures and knows other languages than English. As a future educator, I will strongly encourage students to express themselves and to…

admission criteria amongst the majority of high school students all around the world. While these qualifications are fairly appealing, it’s an understatement of the capabilities each individual student can possess. College acceptance criteria is crucial, but is it really an accurate record of all students’ strengths? One of the main reasons why MSU stands out from other colleges is how the institution looks beyond a standardized test number. Students at MSU prove that they can…

benefiting the students and community around me. Each activity provided a unique experience that I still carry with me and learn from to this day. As a Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN) representative, I have traveled to Massachusetts to discuss racial issues in America with hundreds of other MSAN students across the country. Our goal was to come up with solutions to resolve some of the issues we face in our hometowns. I brought back many perspectives and implemented schoolwide…

of Colorado Mesa University’s campus. “I already feel like a Maverick,” I admitted as I straightened out my new CMU ball cap from the campus bookstore. It was a strange feeling knowing that I would no longer be Lakeland High School’s most spirited student, but there was excitement in knowing that I would soon show my pride for Colorado Mesa. Images of my blue and white spirit wear quickly changed to be maroon and gold. I was eager to represent my new home away from home. However, college spirit…

sons and daughters in enrichment programs or “early learning” programs, my parents set me loose and allowed me to explore the world around me. I was the one who wanted to do things, and my parents complied (assuming that it was safe and not too crazy). Because of this, I discovered my own interests, and found my own dreams. Alone, I discovered my affinity for reading, and math. By myself, I discovered the allure of water, particularly moving…

about the university, then I was reigned in by Dr. Mari Nicholson of the university Honors Program. As the end of high school approached I knew that making the move from Louisiana to Texas to attend UHD would not be a mistake. Growing up I always looked up to the ambassadors at each level of education because to me they always represented the cream of the crop. If someone wanted to know something the ambassadors were the ones they went to. In elementary school they represented those who did not…

Prior to starting my program in educational counseling, I strongly believed that I wanted to work in a four year setting. However, when I took ‘Group Counseling’ and met Dr. Mosqueda, she slowly convinced me to seek out the community colleges. As the class progressed, she mentioned the opportunity of doing hours at El Camino College, in particular the First Year Experience (FYE) program, so I decided to take the offer. This preface is important because it gives a glimpse into my constant…

One of the reasons I would be honored to be a student ambassador is because I want to introduce and familiarize other prospective students with the school that I love so much, that has opened so many doors of opportunities, introduced me to so many amazing people, and has given me a top notch education. I want to encourage students who are perhaps unsure if WSU is right for them, or if college in general is right for them, that WSU and all that it has to offer makes it the place for anyone, from…
