Adversity: Participation In A Science And Pre-Health Club
In my first attempt to participate in a club at college-level I faced adversity was more complicated than I expected. My first semester of college I immediately attempted to join a science and pre-health club. The disorganization of the groups caused miscommunication that made it near impossible to participate unless you held a position or was a prior member. With persistency and commitment I managed to break the mold and not only become an active member of both the biology club and pre-health club, but I made it possible for all the science clubs to interconnect and this assisted the new member process greatly. By the end of my first semester I was given a position with both organizations and was able to pass down the roles prior to my abrupt

    We started small. After talking to some teachers and some friends from cross country and the previous year at track, we found a place to put our stuff and met every other day. I lead our group in many hard workouts to improve our muscles and lung capacity, as well as researched the best stretches and core exersices. We’d even set meetings on weekends. Although, soon I realized that I would need a coach or two to guide us further. I contacted Mrs. Tremayne and set up meeting times where we could go over some permission slips, and dates/times. I got to announce our club on the announcements, as well and got to get T-shirts. Eventually, We met every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with two great coaches named Coach Tremayne and Coach Erin Luzader who helped us with our workouts and get insight into the next season of track and High School cross country. From circuits to warmups we used to prevent injuries, Running Club made a difference in my, and hopefully other’s lifes. The soul purpose behind creating a club was to make our running become better and to keep ourseleves in shape for the next track season, so we could achieve…

    At first glance, it seems like a club that would not get much traction and quickly fizzle out. On the contrary, the club now meets regularly and has an academic advisor. The girl has raised awareness for the destruction of not only duck habitats, but other endangered animals. The club even has a growing number of involved members, including myself. Like this, OSU has so many unique clubs; pizza club, knitting club, etc. These clubs enrich the experience the university offers, and I hope to facilitate them as an alumnus so future students can have the one of a kind experience I am blessed to…

    Chartering and being in charge of a club can be very rewarding, but there can also be a plethora of obstacles that have to be overcome. I am the president of the Best Buddies program – a program that seeks to increase interactions between people with and without special needs – at my high school, and I was the first person in my county to charter this program which was back when I was in the eighth grade. Being the President of this specific club is very challenging and unique: it requires you to work with a wide variety of students – in the mainstream setting and those with special needs – and those students’ parents. From these challenges, I learned the value of persistence and the importance of keeping to your word no matter what life…

    The moment that signified my transfer into adulthood happened just recently. Since 8th grade, I have been a part of truly incredible academic-service organization called Beta Club. Beta Club has taught me the values of being a leader by serving others, and it is from this “servant's” mentality that has made me a better person. Moreover, it has given me countless leadership options as I served as my middle school Beta’s president. Then, I was elected as my high school’s chapter president, and this is where my moment of transition truly begins. Each year, the state Beta Club hosts a convention in Greensboro, where you can compete in events or run for state office. The state convention was like no other event I had participated in, and ever since I attended my first…

    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.…

    These organizations helped with the school to raise money and understand the quality of working together. My shyness all went away at this time, I no longer had a reason to be held back.The more organizations I joined, the more I grew as a person. In the beginning of my junior year i was inducted to National Honor Society, became colorguard captain and historian officer for band. Becoming colorguard captain meant more than being a simple member. The day i learned about myself having an interdependence nature was during the day of our first band competition of the year. Having to wake up early and do an SAT exam was simple. The fact that i had to do the SAT then drive an hour after the exam was different. I could've chosen to not go. Everyone already knew their performance.Yet i needed to take my responsibility as a leader and be physically there for my part. Servant leadership is a component of being part of a true community. This includes everyone being part of a family. I didn't realize how limited my definition of “family” was. My definition is now more than flesh and bone; it is my very own…
