I was born four-teen weeks prematurely as a survivor of quadruplets at University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington. I then spent eighty-one days in the NICU fighting to stay alive. My dad is an Engineer at Lyondellbasell, and my mom is a stay-home-mom who Homeschooled my siblings and I from preschool through High-school. I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of six-teen after spending over a decade in the Scouting community. While in Boy Scouts, I served as Chaplains Aid, Patrol Leader, and Troop Guide. In 2014 over the summer, I competed in the HGA Junior Golf Program and placed fourth in player of the year standings for Junior Series which earned me HGA Junior Golf First Team Award. Then, I volunteered at the First Tee of the Greater …show more content…
To Achieve the rank of Eagle Scout one must exhibit self discipline, perseverance, determination and responsibility over many years, then successfully design, plan, and execute a project to benefit their community. The road to this achievement began when I became a Cub Scout in 2005. I started as a Wolf then went through the remaining ranks of Cub Scouts: Bear, Webelos 1, and Webelos 2 over the next four years. I then earned the Arrow of Light and crossed over to Boy Scouts. Over the next few years, I completed the Boy Scout ranks of Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Star, and Life learning many life lessons along the way, such as respecting authority and responsibility. Then to achieve the rank of Eagle, I had to use everything I learned over the previous years to complete the Eagle Scout Project. The project required me to create a proposal which I had to have accepted by the committee of the organization I was doing the project for. After the proposal was accepted, I then had to organize volunteers and set a date to complete the project. While the project took place, I delegated people to do specific things for the project and if need be teach them how to properly complete the task. After completion of the project, I wrote up a report and submitted it to the Scout Master who took the whole project paper work (proposal-report) to the Council. The Council then accepted the project as the quality of work an Eagle Scout should exhibit. Becoming an Eagle Scout is not just an achievement; it is a lifestyle I have learned to live
The four pillars of the prestigious National Honor Society demonstrate the traits I hope to continually develop: as a scholar, a leader, a volunteer and a person of strong moral fiber. I believe myself to be mature and motivated; I have an unyielding commitment to scholarship and intend to make a difference in the lives of everyone around me. The prospect of becoming a member has prompted me to take a look upon what I wish to accomplish as a part of this organization. By becoming an active participant, my goal is to enrich my school experience by means of volunteering in the community, serving as a role model for my peers, and fostering pride for our school.
I am the product of divorced parents, poverty stricken environments, and a blended family, but I refuse to let that dictate the outcome of my life. At the age of ten, I had to assume the role of a fatherly figure to my three siblings, so I missed out on the typical childhood most would have had. I grew up in neighborhoods where gangs and criminal acts of violence were a pervasive occurrence, but I resiliently did not allow the peer pressures of others to force me to conform to their way of life. By the age of 15, I received my worker 's permit, and that allowed me the ability to help my mother financially in the absence of my father’s income. I worked the maximum amount of hours I could while balancing my academics and extracurricular school activities. I was a scholar athlete and triathlete in high school, and although I continuously faced much adversity, I still managed to be accepted to the University of California State, Bakersfield after I graduated from high school in 2005. Sadly, after
Congratulations on your Eagle Scout! It takes a supportive and involved family to achieve that rank. Cole and I park cars at LSU home games and have met a few people from other troops, but so far, you are the first person we have met from Troop 65. Some adult men that I respect are Eagles and give their Boy Scout experience high praise for many life lessons. Hopefully, scouting will "balance" out Cole's life experience of being raised by women and give him practical life skills.
Once you have completed these steps, you will be officially an eagle scout. It is a great honor and you should be very proud of your achievement. Many Eagle Scouts become astronauts, celebrities, and many other types of famous people. Make sure that you follow the scout law and oath every day and use your scout skills to help the community you are in. Thanks to this essay you should easily be able to get your Eagle Scout rank.
As a student at Northvale Public School, I have grown up with my older siblings being inducted into an organization called the National Junior Honor Society. I had seen all the hard work and dedication they put into their school work and activities just to get into this society, making me want to be just like them. Then a few weeks ago, I found a note on my desk in homeroom telling me that I had been nominated to be apart of this society. Through citizenship and character, leadership, and service, I intend on being inducted into the society I have heard so much about. Though it will take a lot of effort this school year, being a part of this society is a dream of mine that I will make sure to come true.
As a student in Greater Lawrence Technical school my ultimate goal was to become a member of National Honors Society. From the very start I knew I had the potential to become who I wanted to be. Being seen as a person who can be National honors society member has made me so happy and realize I can really go for more in life! They sky's the limit. I always had honor roll and wanted to push myself for more than what I knew I could do. I asked teachers and guidance counselors how to get into NHS and if they believed I was eligible for National Honor Society. They said with your outstanding character, motivation and dedication to help others is how!
Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout has been one of my greatest accomplishments of my life. Getting my Eagle Scout has given me three great benefits; the first one is many life skills, benefits while applying for a job, and people look up to me as an Eagle Scout. Getting this award has been a great honor and has taught me many of the life skills needed to be successful in today’s modern society.
I have a lot of goals in my lifetime from the small things like joining football next year, to the big things like Becoming a Naval Officer. Being an Eagle Scout will also really help me achieve many of these goals. I joined Cub Scouts in 3rd grade as a bear, and I still enjoy it to this day.
The core values I think represent me the best are Honesty, Friendly, Helpful, and Courteous. These are a few of the things I learned from achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in my Boy Scout troop, the scout law has twelve core values but these are the ones that best represent me. Each of these four words I depict in my everyday style whether its helping someone with directions or holding the door open for someone whose hands are full to making sure that I am polite to everyone I meet and making sure that I use my own work and to not plagiarize someone else’s just to complete some school work, or receive a higher grade on a test. The other eight values that are in the scout law are my best characteristics and those are loyal, kind, obedient, cheerful,
I originally never wanted to become a boy scout the very idea to me seem a bit embarrassing. The only reason why I became a boy scout was because my father had heard that Boy Scouts teaches young men discipline and respect so he dragged me to a meeting and signed me. The passion he had for scouts was inconceivable he believed that it will one day help me to become a great man and I had faith in his judgment. So on that very night I looked him straight into his eyes and told him " Dad I promise you I will become a Eagle scout and stick through this no matter what" and that I did. So naturally as my father he is the man I look to surpass one day because even when he worked 4 jobs every day he always took me to that Friday boy scout meeting. Participated in every scouting event such as service projects and camps and hikes for 4 years. Only after we moved to the city did he stop and he asked me " Do you want to transfer troops or resign". I told him " no I am going to stick this through with the troop I began with. So every Friday night I took the bus to Aiea to make the 7:30 pm meeti...
Since elementary school I have been in Celina's Boy Scout Troop 69. Starting as a Tiger cub and after many years eventually becoming a Boy Scout. 10 years later it is my last year of being a Boy Scout and I will be aging out in April. From building fires, tying knots, and learning first aid, scouting has taught me life skills that I will never forget. The greatest lesson of all though has to be grasping the skills of being a leader. The character and roles of a leader are very important for everyone to understand. But they can also be hard to grasp. I was 16 and decided to run for the position of SPL or Senior Patrol Leader. The SPL is in charge on all troop activities and is tasked with running things smoothly. The
Becoming more involved with my community has helped me persevere through my unexpected hardships and regain my focus, which in turn has molded me into a better human being and future physician. As I explored ways to become a better activist, I have volunteered more in my community. My experience with the Boys and Girls club has allowed me to interact with young children of low socioeconomic status like I once was. The time spent volunteering has further spurred my interest towards those that are consistently underrepresented and underserved. These opportunities have cultivated an impeccable drive towards becoming a physician that cares and understands where people are coming from with economical and emotional insecurities. This experience has served as an additional spark that ignited the flame within me to pursue a career as a
I joined Girl Scouts when I was six years old and continued with it until my senior year of high school. Without Girl Scouts, I know I would not be where I am today. By the time I entered high school, my troop consisted of a mere eight girls. Despite that small number, we were able to take on big projects that our leader gave us entire control over. It is because of these events—Girls Night Out, the Father Daughter Dance, and Spa Night to name a few—that I learned how to be a leader. Planning these events taught me how to organize, manage my time, and delegate tasks. Being a leader was never something I was thrilled to do, but Girl Scouts forced me out of my comfort zone and taught me skills I will use for the rest of my life.
It was during my second year of high school that I first heard of the Pruitt Memorial Scholarship. I suddenly felt hope for my future. Hope that I would be able to attend college, and hope that I would be given the chance to fight for my very large dreams. My passion is theatre and my goal is that someday I will be able to teach others about my passion and spread the magic of theatre around the world, but to be able to do that requires lots of education. The Pruitt Memorial Scholarship opened the door for me to pursue this dream. Now, I just had to acquire the scholarship, and that meant performing volunteer community-service.
The years of hard work and dedication have finally paid off. As I stand with the scoutmaster in front of me, and the audience behind my back, I feel like this accomplishment will not only help me develop as a leader, but also as a person. Becoming an eagle scout is more than a badge and a rank; it is a sense of duty and fulfillment that I have sought for so many years and am finally able to achieve. From Cub Scout to Eagle Scout, like adolescence to adulthood, this momentous occasion symbolizes my entrance into a new world and my readiness to tackle the challenges it has in store for me.
