The name of my brand is Jump-In. My brand is about being immersed and engaged in the things I do, and working for the better of everybody. It can be expressed in a simple and original brand tag-line “All In, and In For All.”
This brand represents me as I am a person that likes to “jump in” and be “all in,” and engaged with the things I do. For example, I have been playing softball for almost five years, and in 6th grade I was asked if I was interested in pitching. Always open to trying something new, I went for it. While my first year pitching was challenging, I did not let that defeat me and I have spent the past 2 years in an all-year pitching clinic working to improve my skills. Last year, I had a chance to pitch in 7 of our 15 games,

One example of helping people around me was as captain for this year’s Park Girls Varsity soccer team. In my role, I had to help motivate the team, and help to build and fuel team spirit – both things that I really enjoyed. In addition, I have also been focused on helping my community. A few years ago when my Dad and I took a trip to India, I was able to help out at a school that my grandfather had started and work with the students in their classes. This experience inspired me to find ways to give back here in several different ways, both big and small. In sixth grade, I ran to be a representative on the Park School Service Council. I have continued in this role for the past two years, and this year, I was elected by my classmates to be a co-Head. This fall, I led an effort where the school made placemats for the residents of the Pine Street Inn, a homeless shelter in Boston, for Thanksgiving. What I loved most about this effort was it allowed all the grades to be involved, and for kids to do something more hands-on rather than just give a donation. And while it was a small gesture, the Pine Street Inn staff shared that it had a meaningful

    Volunteering for service hours changed my outlook on life. I worked with the Hydrocephalus Association in both eleventh and twelfth grade. The Hydrocephalus Association focuses on three things community, clarity, and cure. Hydrocephalus is a condition defined by an abnormal, excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the cavities of the brain. Some people with this condition can live a normal life being unnoticeable while other have difficulties. The association works on awareness to find a cure, clarity in helping families further understand the condition, and a community which will always be supportive. Service hours can sometimes be a hassle but once I started volunteering with that association it became fun because I was…

    Being involved with Project 18 has impacted both the high school and the community throughout the last year. Project 18 also known as Political Action in which students volunteer for the community as well as candidates during the upcoming elections. I have volunteer to help numerous candidates in many ways such as door knockings and setting up signs. Our school annually has a THON that I have attended and been a part of to positively affect the high school as well as numerous foundations. When elections come around I have went around with fellow classmates to get people who are 18 or will be before the election to register to vote. Helping people register gets the communities numbers of voters up, in a time where numbers are down. Drugs are…

    Since middle school, I have been involved in numerous local beach and river cleanup events. In Nature Academy I was able to design my own community service project. During 7th grade, I banded together with a few fellow classmates and we decided to clean up the streets of Felton one staple at a time. The state of the poles there were horrible; covered in the metal pieces from prior flyers posted there. After several weeks and hours, we had defeated the evil staples. In 8th grade, I had done some more community service on a smaller scale. By helping out in the community garden at school, I had helped the crops grow, that were then disbursed to families in need of fresh…

    I volunteer in my community whenever I get the opportunity. For example, I helped students get to school safely and I helped out around the school. I volunteered at the public library to help younger children. I now see it is hard work to get children focused and help them not make a big mess, but I enjoyed helping them in any way I can. Volunteering at the public library also taught me about patience. Not everything went exactly how I planned it out, but at the end it still worked out. My time at the library also taught me about effort.…

    Service is the reason I would be a good candidate for the National Junior Honor Society because I have volunteered in the past and would like to volunteer more in the future.

    In high school, I joined Zonta Club to be involved with school and community. Zonta Club gave me an opportunity to reach out to people that had helped others and inspired other students to do the same. One of the unforgettable moments was when I volunteered in a fundraiser to help Alzheimer's disease. It was an event, called Rock-a-Thon, where kids and adults were together to raise awareness those who had the disease. Everyone was participating in the activities that were available in the event. There were games that both kids and elders could play with. They showed stories about the importance of being aware and helping those with Alzheimer’s disease. The event had shaped my views on giving back to the community. Service was not only about giving back, but it is also about learning from others. The joy that the people had even when there was a sickness in their life was incredible. It made me realize how I was fortunate to be living a life without the disease. The fundraiser had made me learn about the people in my town and the obstacles that had to endure and were still enduring. The event had impact the involvement and the appreciation I have over the…

    I was involved in many service learning experiences all throughout highschool. I was on National Honors Society and we would ring bells for Salvation Army and adopt children around Christmas time. We often volunteered at schools to help watch children, while parents were receiving help in finding careers or when they were being helped in some other manner. However, my favorite service learning that I was involved in was helping coach Special Olympics. This service learning is one of the reasons I am becoming a teacher, and one of the main reasons why my focus is Special Education. I coached my team in soccer, basketball, and track. I loved every minute of it. I spent more time with those kids than I have with any other service learning combined. I coached them starting my sophomore year all the way until I left for college. It was hard leaving my team and I am upset that I cannot go back and see them more often. Service learning has made a huge impact on my life and is something that everyone should become involved with. When you find that one cause that you are passionate about helping with it can transform your life like it did…
