Personal Statement: Make A Wish

This may seem extremely cliché, but I love to help others. Whenever I make a positive difference in someone’s life, I get a feeling that can’t be replicated. I also love children and it pains me to see children whose lives may be ended shortly because of a life-threatening condition. If I can help them to live their dreams and achieve their goals while they get a chance, my life will be forever changed.

I want to be a part of this committee so I can help others and make my mark on my community. I’m enthusiastic about helping people and am a hard worker. If I am accepted to the Youth Leadership Committee, I will put forth my 100% effort and it will show with everything I do. Make a Wish is such an amazing organization working for such a great cause and I feel inspired by the brave children benefitting from it and the selfless volunteers. I would be humbled and thankful to serve such a righteous cause.

I attended a leadership convention for Key Club called the Florida District Conference (DCON). DCON has taught me how to be a better leader, friend, and person through its various workshops. One of the workshops was a Make a Wish workshop which opened my eyes to the organization’s fervent work and made me realize I would love to be involved with it. One of my ideas to raise funds involves Key Club. As a class director of Key Club, I attend monthly board of director meetings where we pitch ideas. At one of those meetings, I will tell them about any service opportunities Make a Wish has so Key Club can send volunteers. In addition to that, my Key Club chapter also plans on having a club project this year where we help an organization by volunteering and raising money for them. I could try to install Make a Wish as the club’s annual project which will raise awareness and
