Recommended: My community service project

I would be a good fit for the Youth Advisory Council because of my dedication, hard work ethic, and leadership abilities. Within my school, I was Co-president of the National Junior Honor Society group for our school’s annual Parking Lot Party (PLP). For this project, I, along with the help of my other officers, led a group of students to create a set of games and activities for the PLP, which came out with very good results and lots of smiles from the students who both played the games and volunteered for them. From this experience, I have learned how much I enjoy planning an event and seeing it executed successfully with positive results on my community, and I hope that I can continue to do this in YAC. Furthermore, I have been very active in my school’s Creative Writing Club, starting back when I was in 5th grade and up until now. I was President last year in 8th grade and was Vice President this year. My club creates an annual literary journal, which is comprised of poems, stories, …show more content…

Throughout Mock Trial, I have learned how to work with others by cooperating with my teammates, and I realized how important teamwork truly is in accomplishing huge tasks. I have also become confident through my presentations as lawyer and witness, which has stuck with me even after trials have finished. The amount of work that I and other members have put into Mock Trial resulted in me going to Regionals in my first year along with other newbies, as well. Even though the work for Mock Trial was almost too much to bear, I persevered and saw amazing results, showing me that if I truly love something and want to commit to it, then no amount of work is too large. The process has taught me to really appreciate hard work, and I strive to put this same amount of effort into my community through

    I walked into high school determined to become a teacher. I came out with a better understanding of myself and a new job in mind. When I crossed the thresh hold of Gibbs High School, I knew it was the time to find myself. I chose new classes that I knew nothing about including JROTC. I chose JROTC specifically because the rope bridges looked exciting and adventurous. When I finally got to try the rope bridge on for size, it wasn’t tied properly and fell while I was on it. This typically would scare someone away from the program, but it made me more determined. I was eager to learn and to grow from each experience I ran into in JROTC. Because of my dedication and willingness to learn, I rose through the ranks. I started my journey through the Chain of Command by becoming Public Affairs Officer. Once my

  • My Involvement In Mock Trial

    229 Words  | 1 Pages

    I have been involved in Mock Trial since freshman year and it has taught me many valuable skills from critical thinking to thinking on my feet.  It has also afforded me a newfound confidence in my public speaking skills. We are provided with a different case each year, alternating between civil and criminal cases, and must create a case theory and understand the entirety of the case,  from the law, to the burden of proof we must provide. Mock trial has taught me not only these skills above, but it has also has taught me dedication and time management. I also truly learned how to be a team player through this activity.  Although law may seem like a solo task, the team would not win regionals and not perform well at state if we did not support

  • Reflective Essay On Mock Trial

    I am hoping to be able to build upon the relationships I have already established with fellow judicial participants and meet new students involved with YAG who share my passion for the program. I would like to offer help and advice to others on North Carolina’s team as well as continue to better my own Mock Trial ability. There is still so much for me to learn about the trial process, and it excites me to think how I can continue to hone my Mock Trial skills. I think it would be great to then be able to take what I have learned back to our state as a Mock Trial officer and consequently raise the standard for our state competition. There is much I would like to take away from this year’s National Judicial Competition, but my last hope is that I get to carry that 1st place banner back to North Carolina. It would be an immense honor to represent North Carolina in Mock Trial on the national stage. I look forward to every regional meeting, pre-con, and each year’s state conference. I cannot get enough of Youth and Government! I would love to be able to compete in Chicago this summer at the National Judicial Competition. Thank you for your

  • Essay: My Experience With The Mock Trial Team

    469 Words  | 1 Pages

    It is the responsibility of each team to create and defend their argument, which requires great critical thinking skills. Throughout my time on the team my ability to create persuasive arguments in a clear and concise way and defend them with fact has drastically improved. This skill has assisted me outside of my life in Mock Trial in many ways, from Thanksgiving political debates at the dinner table to writing this very essay. Finally and most importantly, Mock Trial has improved my ability to work in a team. Because of the way Mock Trial is structured, there is no one who can win by his or herself. The performance of the team as a whole is dependent on each and every individual, and therefore it is critical that the performance of each member is coordinated with everyone else’s. This interconnectedness essentially forced me to take the high standards of excellence that I held for my own performance and apply them to others. It has also cultivated great love and family atmosphere amongst my team that is fueled by our desire to see each other perform to the best of our abilities, because we all succeed with and because of each

  • Reflection On Mock Trial

    770 Words  | 2 Pages

    For the first mock trial held in class, the case of the stolen lunch, I did not have a large role. I chose to be a part of the jury, which I feel gave me an immense feeling of responsibility and really allowed me to deeply analyze the case as it was being presented. Within this case, Mary Ovechkin, the plaintiff, had claimed that her lunch had been stolen and ate by the defendant, Sammy Crosby. My first expectation of this case, before it had actually started, was that the defense and prosecution would each have time to present their cases. I expected both sides to question those who were involved, such as the witnesses, defendant, and plaintiff. Then I expected to have to come up with my own verdict to share with the rest of the jury based on the evidence presented. Based on my role, I expected to learn how the jury reaches their decisions.
