When I was offered the position of running for Class President, my head was immediately was flooded with thoughts. I wasn't even aware of the officer position until recently, let alone a presidential position! I think that the student body should be more informed and more involved in their grade, whether it be sport games, school clubs, or more school spirit. I think the upcoming junior class has so much potential to be the best junior class that Kingwood High School has ever seen. As a Class Officer/President, I would like to raise awareness of all departments, and make Junior year the most enjoyable year of high school. To begin my essay, I will talk about my strengths. I think my strengths differentiate myself from the other candidates, simply because my qualities are very unique, and make me highly qualified for this position. To start off, I am a very social and personable person. I talk to everyone, I hear their voice, and I listen to their opinion. I take everyone and their opinion into consideration at all times. I know the feeling of thinking you're unappreciated, simply because no one will listen to you. When at all possible, I make a point to not let anyone in any way feel like they are not equal to everyone else, or unimportant. Another strength of mine is that I can be a leader, but I can also be a follower if needed. I enjoy taking charge in situations, but when I do not, I respect the person who is in charge, and give them my full attention; as I would give to anyone. I respect everyone, whether it be an authority figure, or a fellow peer. I believe that in order to be respected, you must display respect. Vibes that you display will be returned, and it is your decision on what the reciprocating mutual feeling wil... ... middle of paper ... ... updating the student body on upcoming events; because several peers have told me, “If I knew about these events, I would go! I just never know when they are.” (Kelly Hill, Sophomore). These are just a few of my goals and ideas, of the many that I have, that I would like to enact if I were elected Class Officer. In conclusion, I have many ideas for being the upcoming Junior Grade Class Officer, and am thrilled about this upcoming year.I am a very qualified and bubbly person who loves being a leader and am completely open to constructive criticism. I believe in the idea of student interaction, and feel that it is the main focus and key to my plan to make Junior year the best year yet. I would love to get in contact with the previous Junior officers, and listen to their ideas that worked wonderfully for them, too. If you want a girl that is workin’, vote Diana Durkin!
I want to be a member of Senior Class Cabinet to increase Darby pride and continue to lead within Darby, while also creating new events to make senior year the best it can be. I have been at Darby for nearly three years now, and every year the senior class, and specifically Senior Class Cabinet, are constantly finding ways to encourage younger students to get involved within the school, while also continuing to make their own senior year more memorable. During my time thus far at Darby, the upperclassmen have shaped my ideas and thoughts about Daby, while also teaching me that what you get out of the high school experience is exactly what you put into it. While not everyone may get involved in school spirit, doing so creates a more upbeat atmosphere and creates a more memorable experience. By getting involved in Senior Class Cabinet, we can portray a similar message to
I am now the Vice President, and along with the other officers, we oversee over 120 members. We visit local elementary schools and tutor the kids twice a week. Furthermore, we conduct service projects every quarter, such as harvest drives and toy drives. Last year alone, we collected over 1,100 toys for a local orphanage and over 125 cans of soup. Although the year is young, I feel very optimistic about the things we will achieve and the impact that we will continue to make.

As one of two students to be All-State musicians in choir, there is a lot of responsibility I put on myself to make sure I do my duty and help other singers whenever I can. For example, in my choir class, I take on the responsibility of teaching my bass section music when we are asked to learn it ourselves. The important fact to note is that age does not matter to, since there are seniors in my section that I help. I feel that this example of me, a sophomore, teaching older singers music without any actual orders to do so, is a good representation of what I can do for Rho Kappa as president. If I am president, I wouldn’t use my position as anything but to help people inside our society and outside our society, because I agree with the symbolic meaning of Rho Kappa that “knowledge without service is
I am a quality candidate for the position because having fathomed throughout my years. As a struggling college student that employed 2 full time jobs in order to attend school, and support myself. Having had worked the majority of my life until becoming extremely ill, I learned life is nothing to take for granted. People condescend on the sick in society, thus take the sick for granted while kicking them to the curb. Overcome illnesses and obstacles one learns to accept challenges. Suffered numerously at one time, help me embrace unique situations. When a person is debilitated, and another is bedridden precipitating unemployment, and funds depleted only to find oneself trying to rear 4 kids, home school one while staying in the
I believe Civic Leadership is the right and beneficial course for my peers and myself to take next year before leaving Middletown North. For us young, dumb, broke, high school teenagers, it is important for us to have leadership and take pride in everything we do in our everyday lives. It is important to take advantage of the opportunity of this course to develop leadership skills as well as skills necessary to succeed in future endeavors. I think I am a good fit to work collaboratively with the school, community, and the entire student body. My responsibility and dedication play a tremendous role in the student I am, as I am hoping it will in the civic leadership program.
Correctional Officer’s have been around for a very long time and were designed to keep major offenders off the street after they have been arrested by the Police. The offenders are put in a holding cell at a Pre Trial Centre awaiting their court date.
“Who’s going to step up?”. “Who’s going to change this?”. People ask these questions everyday. I realize that I have never truly thought about the defining characteristics of a leader. I was given a list of qualities and upon reading it, I proudly realized that I demonstrate leadership. But the important consideration should not be how I successfully match this definition, but instead why I do it. I was elected treasurer for the class of 2016, a student body elected official, and hold that position of responsibility by attending meetings weekly, promoting school activities (such as homecoming), and participating in student council planning and events as much as possible. I wanted to become treasurer because I wanted a say in decisions that impacted our class. I wanted to be recognized as an individual that my peers could come to with questions and concerns.
One thing that people often overlook when writing an essay is not what the college can do for you, but what you can do for the college. With that in mind the attributes that I possess would make a great addition to and benefit the college greatly. My ability to speak in front of large crowds, lead, and my thirst for knowledge have sshasfdafy
There were several other students who wanted to run for president, but none of had quite the propositions that I wanted to feed into the community. I actually wanted to create awareness of our environment and go into the elementary schools and encourage students to pursue careers in STEM. I am currently president of the society, and I am so grateful to have the ability to make difference in the society. The society will soon be hosting an Oxfam hunger dinner to inform the community of what it's like to eat in a developing country, and how lucky we are to be living in America and have the abundance of food that we have, unlike other countries. This hunger dinner will be my legacy to the society because no president before has conducted such an event that will educate our community and bring our school together.
In this essay I think I had more strengths than weaknesses. This was one of my favorite essays I have ever written. The reason being was because I knew so much about the topic that I really enjoyed writing this essay. One strength I had was the content of the essay. All of my ideas were supported with evidence. Another strength was that my paper had organization. I started off talking about Marie Deans’ younger years then ended with her older. There was one weakness I noticed I ad in this essay and it was my writing style. My writing style was a little better in this paper but it was not the
Compared to my competitors, my strengths are my languages, technology skills, education, work ethic and the ability to follow directions. The first strength that I am aware of is I speak three different languages. Also, I have decent technology skills. I have a great educational background from KU. Work ethic is another one of my personal strengt...
Issues that I feel are crucial to address which also pertain to my particular philosophy are increasing political awareness, raising racial tolerance and acceptance, reducing child abuse and violence against women, and recycling and appreciation for our natural resources. Methods I would use in my classroom to get students involved would include community service projects, recycling drives, field trips to shelters and centers, and food and clothing drives within the class. Activities such as these, where students can see the changes they are making, get them motivated in a way that no general lessons can. Children need to feel the selfless satisfaction that comes from helping their fellow man.
