I took part in a many various out of class activities, ranging from being part of the Pocock football team, the Pocock Link crew leadership club, and the NYCE volunteer centre. Link Crew is an extra-curricular leadership group that focuses on team building, and building leadership qualities for its members. Link crew is all about helping the new incoming grade nines to get settled and comfortable in their new high school experience. Link crew helped improve my communication and leadership skills through the aid of the Link crew course. The Link crew course focused on improving group dynamics, people skills, problem solving skills, communication skills, and most importantly leadership skills. The experience was really educational and entertaining

One extracurricular activity that I am very passionate about would be the FFA. FFA has taught me so many things and it has brought me so many places. I 've learned how to be a great speaker from different events my advisor has challenged me to do. Public speaking has taken me so many places and I have attributed most of my success to FFA. When I was a freshmen I competed and received gold in the creed speaking competition. As a sophomore, I tried extemporaneous speaking and received a gold for that as well. As a junior I really wanted to challenge myself so I took up agricultural sales as my winter career development experience. I ended up being recognized as the state runner up individual agriculture salesman as well as the 15th best agricultural sales man in the nation. Now as a senior, I have been going around speaking at different school board meetings, advocating
I would be honored to be a Link Crew Leader because it would allow me to practice my leadership skills. I am currently treasurer of the Hispanic Youth Leadership Club here in Turlock High School and am expecting to become president next school year, but, I want to take on more leadership positions in the school to exert my leadership potential. As a person of an official position, I would be capable of guiding freshmen to an enjoyable high school experience.
Since second semester of sophomore year, I have the privilege of participating in my schools National Honor Society. Every month we have a meeting and, by the end of the year we are expected to have thirty hours of community service accomplished. Along with NHS, I attended a couple School Leadership meetings, but reluctantly had to stopped due to my schedule. Both junior and senior year i have participated in the club Business Professionals of America were I held parliamentarian junior year and secretary senior year.
During my first semester while in the First Years Honors Program, I was able to get involved with Meals from the Heartland. I helped raise money by working at a bake sale. It also gave me the chance to help prepare and package the meals. While I was a leader for the First Years Honors Program, we organized a service learning activity for our class. For this activity, we made and delivered gift baskets for children in the hospital. My membership in Tau Beta Pi has also given me opportunities for community service. During my initiation, I served as a volunteer judge at the Tau Beta Pi roller coaster competition, which aims to motivate young students to pursue a degree in engineering. I also helped with the 2016 Pi Mile Run which raises money
Over the four years that I have spent at Good Counsel, I became part of many activities. Each helping me evolve as a person and become stronger yet. Simple lists could be made of every activity that I have ever been involved in but it could never express to a person what I have learned and how it helped me to grow. Every environmental club, science club, political science club, service work, and S.A.D.D. club I was part of had a very special message to deliver to me. Whether the message was one of responsibility, or a life lesson, I grew from it. The Political Science club opened me to many new experiences. It allowed me the chance to attend the Model U.N., where I was asked to address today's top world issues. This club was very beneficial to me because I was exposed to topics and ideas that I had not previously been able to discuss or learn about in a classroom situation. The science club allowed for me to experience extra educational situations as well. I took part in a hovercraft competition, which was very educational while also allowing me the chance to work with others for a common goal.
Let’s start with my elementary years. I went to B.H. Grimes Elementary frim pre-k up until fifth grade which I graduated from. I was a honor roll student throughout all seven years of elementary. I was an U.I.L participant from third through fifth grade. I also was a part of the cheer during fourth and fifth grade. I also was in an after school enrichment chess club.
Throughout my time in university, I was involved in a lot of extracurricular activities. I wanted to implement my knowledge that I got in university (Project management, organizational behavior, leadership and motivation etc.). From the very beginning I founded my own organization that calls Youth Assembly of Nations. My goal was to unite people of different nationalities and lead them to promote friendship among different nations (more than 150 nationalities live in Kazakhstan). As a result 40 delegates of different nationalities were chosen. Every month we were organizing events such as music festivals, fairs, charity events and promoting our vision of collaboration.
During my spare time I enjoy going to the Theatre to specifically watch musicals like 'Billy Elliot' and 'Cats the Musical'. As well as this I like to socialise with my friends and read various genres like Real Life Tragedies and Horrors. I attended Boys Scouts and Boys Brigade which I enjoyed due to the fact I got to take part in lots of activities like learning Cycling Proficiency. Team work was a key aspect in these activities outside of school because it made it more enjoyable, everyone got along better and it meant that we got to participate in more activities.

During the time I’ve been in high school I’ve participated in the Hamtramck High School Marching Band both freshman and sophomore years, Physics Olympiad during sophomore year, chess club during freshman year and a drafting competition (the Engineering Society of Detroit, where my group and I won $30,000 scholarship each) during freshman year. Outside of school, I helped out at my local place of worship, the Al-Islah Islamic Center. During the summer, I would volunteer to help the kids improve their reading of our holy book (the Quran). Also the prayer leader (Imam) of the mosque was writing theses instructional Islamic books and he asked me to help him write and edit them. I plan to do more things outside of school and also participate in more clubs next year like robotics and government.
For my project, I did many different activities. The first activity I completed was observing a Davidson County School Board meeting on the topic of an information breach that occurred. The next activity I completed was collecting trash around the Ledford High School campus on two different occasions. Then I was a buddy for a Special Olympics athlete when it was held at Ledford. Finally, I was a buddy for multiple athletes at the Miracle League of High Point.
In my freshman year I did not like to get up and present or talk about myself in front of people, but now I can confidently stand in the middle of crowded people and talk about my experience. Link Crew has given me a chance to gain experience and be able to talk to people and communicate. At first, I saw Link Crew as just a program that will give me a graduation sash and will make me look better with it, but while I was forced to communicate I learned how to stand and talk about myself. I also learned how to lead others to my advice and helped me to be a good leader. I want to say I am more stable now and understand what is my strength and weakness and that what made me have a good leadership
My road to participation was a little longer than most, the first two years I attended Henderson High School I just went through the motions of waking up, going to, school and going home. Until last year when I decided to step out of my comfort zone and sign up for Nursery Landscape competition through FFA, which never really inspired change my everyday routine, but paved the way for me to sign up for the Wildlife Team, where I spent countless hours; studying plants and animals, walking through the
