The Importance Of Close Up In High School
High schools has given me many good and bad experiences. But one of the best experiences that high school has given me was being a part of close up. Close up is a nonprofit organization that promotes students from all over the United States to take part in their government. Close up also teaches students to understand their history, government, and that they also have a voice in society. Before Close Up I did not have an active voice, I did not like to open up and meet new people, or share ideas that could have helped in different class discussion, and I always kept to the friends I already had or to myself. Some of my friends talked me into going to close up, I felt it would be a fun experience to go and visit. During the week at close up

    Mukwonago Chief Research Paper

    Being a member of Best Buddies and SAVE, I demonstrate a strong sense of dedication for supporting others and lending a helping hand. The goals of both Best Buddies and SAVE are to further acceptance, embrace diversity, promote safety in schools, and spreading positive energy. As a student representative, my sole objective would be to help enlighten the school board and those in the community about the daily life at MHS, advocate for the 1,600 students currently attending, and respectively relay any helpful amendments that would benefit the Mukwonago Area School District. The multiple clubs I participate in and the copious amounts of friendships I developed with people that have contrasting passions also allow me to speak on behalf of a relatively large group of students. The students taking part in the same activities that I belong to range from freshman to seniors. The opinions of a freshman compared to that of a senior’s may vary drastically, and being a part of clubs with a sample of each year will give me an advantage to hear an assortment of…

    Case Study: Big Brothers Big Sisters Of Toronto

    Through the Pumped For Post Secondary mentorship program, I have been involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto for 2 years. I have attended two Pumped For Post Secondary mentorship programs, one located at George Brown College and the other at the University of Toronto, St. George campus. These programs allowed me to learn multiple skills and available options for a student entering post-secondary education. I have gained through the presentations and mentors of Big Brothers and Big Sisters the ability to budget, write a decent resume, properly conduct an interview and stress management. I was encouraged to speak with others and now am able to confidently speak my mind and interact with others more easily than before. This is a massive step from me, because I am a shy person and would get scared of new people as they were strangers to me. Thanks to this program I can now talk to people without the fear of messing up.…

    American Legion: Personal Statement Of Purpose

    Last summer, I endeavored a life changing experience. American Legion Buckeye Boys State is a leadership program. It is the best Boys State program in the nation. On top of this, it is among the top programs for leadership, growth, and is a meeting of the greatest minds of Ohio, and by proxy, of the nation. But it’s so much more than that. From Day One, the minute you step off the bus, it instantly becomes an incredible experience. Everyone, people who have never even met before, are shaking everyone else’s hands, introducing themselves, and campaigning for positions before anyone has even dropped their luggage off. It was breathtaking, truly, and it made me realize that I too had to step up. Naturally, I did just that. I started meeting people,…

    ASFA: Closeness In Elementary School

    The night before school starts should be a night of worry-ridden butterflies in your stomach and not enough sleep but for ASFA students that isn’t the case. Year after year of going to ASFA makes it less of a nerve wracking experience and more of a blasé “oh this again?” Allison Sharp, an eleventh grader, says that this start of the school year felt “ like the year without summer.” Students chalk it up to the fact that they did camps or summer college course, finally got a job, or maybe just hung out with friends every day. However, this isn’t the reason that ASFA can feel like a Groundhog’s Day place of repetition. What can make ASFA feel static is also what makes ASFA great: the closeness of the students.…

    My Ncsy's Journey

    Junior year was a big year for me. I switched schools, moved across the country to Palo Alto, California, and was living without my parents for the first time. I had to make friends all over again, and one of the ways I did that was by joining a Jewish youth group, NCSY. NCSY’s mission is to inspire Jewish teens by creating lots of events; some span for a weekend while others are for an hour weekly. One program in particular is called Latte and Learn where teens from the NCSY chapter go to a Starbucks for an hour, buy some drinks and learn a topic in Torah. Because my NCSY chapter consists of the large Northern California area, Latte and Learn has 2 locations so that members can go to the one that’s closer to them. With this still, the closest…

    Personal Narrative: My SGA President

    During my freshman year of high school, I didn’t even know what the Student Government was. I had no idea that, three years later I would be elected as the first one year SGA President (this means I was only in SGA for one year before becoming president, previous presidents have had two years of experience). I started off high school lost and afraid of the world in front of me. Like many students, I struggled to keep myself together mentally and physically. I didn’t really know what I liked or what really interested me. It wasn’t until my junior year that I found something that I connected with. I’ve always been in love with my school and its spirit. Every year I would go all out for spirit week, and I was that one kid that stood out from everyone…

    Personal Narrative: Woodrow Wilson High School

    I had lost many friends because I refused to ditch class and smoke. I was deemed uncool because I put school work before anything else. This wasn’t anything like the environment I had hoped for. During the last several months of my Freshman year, I decided to transfer yet again; I was going back to Beaverton School District. Luckily, I knew plenty of kids from Junior High and Elementary school, but I was still concerned. Would I be thrown into another school run by stoners? Would I be able to receive the education I had expected from Wilson? The answers to those amazed me. From the first day of school, I felt like I had been here for years. Students were quick to introduce themselves, many offering to show me around or tell me all the hangout spots. I was amazed by the kindness that everyone showed to a complete stranger. Students held doors for me, invited me to sit with them in class or at lunch, and were quick to offer tips on how to survive BHS.…

    Link Crew Reflection

    There is not a single feeling greater than the one you experience when you make a positive impact on someone else’s life. Thankfully, I was able to experience that in my junior year. My high school has a program called Link Crew that is designed to help alleviate the anxiety of freshmen’s transition in to high school. When I signed up to get involved, I never realized how strongly it would affect not only my life, but also the life of everyone else who came in contact with it one way or another. Junior year was my first year involved in the program. At first, I was not sure if I would be able to handle it because it was a club that required a large time commitment. I was already involved in my advisory board, student council, and also I had been on the varsity softball team for both years prior to my junior year, along with working anywhere from three to five days a week. It was a very busy time in my life for a while, but I soon came to realize that Link Crew was completely worth it once I started seeing the effect it had on my school.…

    The Importance Of Recess

    Did you know that recess helps students in school? Well, it's true! Although some parents think that recess just makes kids misbehave and fool around which is possible, most of the time recess has a very positive impact on students. I think that we should have a longer recess because students listen better after recess if they exercise more, because kids learn negotiation skills, exercise leadership, take turns, and learn to resolve conflict at recess and because recess has an good effect on academic performance.…

    High School Conformism

    Throughout majority of my high school life, I always questioned why things operated the way they did. Being forced to go to a place, or my parents could possibly go to jail. To be honest it sort of felt like a indoctrination. Going there I noticed everything was controlled and different social groups where created based on different peoples personalities. The irony of it all is that from a young age school seemed to indorse individuality, yet hypocritical policies such as school uniforms still took place later in the years.…
