Association Football and Davies Middle School
For me to be a member of the National Juniors Honors Society would be an amazing privilege. I believe I should be accepted because I am dedicated and passionate about my activities inside and outside of school. Also I will bring strong leadership as well as teamwork skills to NJHS. I am always looking for new ways to help people even in the smallest of things. Lastly, I have received many recognition awards and commendations. I think these qualities will make me an excellent member of the National Junior Honor Society here at William Davies Middle School. One of my biggest passions is my soccer team, the Hamilton Shock. I have been playing soccer for a little over a year and a half and I love it. We work together not only as a team but like a family through our losses and wins. All we have done is improve. They have helped me become a better soccer player and we have become an excellent team with my optimism and teamwork. Another activity that I am involved with in school is S.W.A.T or Students Working to Advance Technology. We work together to come up with new ways to inform our student body about the events going on at Davies. We are always helping each other with new ideas like our Davies “App” that we are currently working on. In the end our projects always come together.

My biggest community activity is for Special Olympics of New Jersey. My family and I attend many of the events for SONJ including the Summer Games. I started volunteering by working and playing with the athletes. The area we staffed was where the athletes came to take a break and play with carnival-like games. The ages ranged from little kids to adults. It was fun putting smiles on their faces when you told them they won! It showed me we aren’t any different than them. They still like to do sports and have fun. They love to win prizes as do we. They just have disabilities that make them special. Over all volunteering for SONJ is a fantastic experience and in my opinion every boy and

    I’ve always tried to be very involved in my school. I’m a member of almost every club, but my heart lies with my cross country team. While I didn’t always enjoy running in the grueling heat, it taught me about teamwork, dedication, and endurance. More often than not, my coach would be chuckling at me because I was trying to push a fellow teammate that wanted to walk. I made it my personal goal to push my teammates and help them do their best. My team got region champions in 2010 and this past season. Needless to say, we made our coach very proud.…

    Being active in different activities at school has been a huge passion of mine. I have had a struggle with chronic pancreatitis since the age of nine, making it hard to be active in all of the extra curricular activities that I wish I could be active in. I have been apart of the golf team for three years, volleyball team one year, Business Professionals of America two years, student council two years, FCCLA three years, art club three years and many other activities throughout my four years of high school. These activities have given me tons of great knowledge to help with my future education at college.…

    This ranges from volunteering at open houses at the high school I attend, book sales, and Wic Centers. Volunteering at Wic Centers have been one of the places that I have been most involved in.

    I was privileged enough to be a part of a program in my high school that encouraged participating in volunteer work for both the community and school. For the past 3 years of my high school career, I was able to volunteer at neighborhood events hosted by a recreational center to a larger scale event like the Little Feet Meet hosted by Old Dominion University, where a Special Olympics is organized for elementary students across Norfolk who have mental and physical disabilities. By volunteering to these type of events, I realized that one of the fundamental aspects of being a good citizen is helping provide an environment in which everyone can feel free and…

    When I was younger, I was in Girl Scouts for a number of years. Along with the camping and games, it was mandatory that we volunteer for a certain amount of hours. I would usually volunteer with my troop to work on community gardens and other small tasks similar to that. I did not enjoy volunteering because I was too young. I was forced upon something that I did not want to do. I just wanted to have fun and did not understand the concept of community service. Now that I am done with Girl Scouts, I have moved on to a different stage of my life. I now know that volunteering is worth the time and effort. After years of taking up various volunteering positions, I have finally found one that means something to me, one that has changed my whole life.…

    To be part of this organization is such a great opportunity because it teaches me how to be a better person, and makes me more aware of what is going on in our society. Life as it is has a lot of problems, and I would love to give back. Even just to help a little bit, to make time for other people, and to serve is something that I would like to be part of. There are people who are homeless, and I want to provide for them. There are people who are starving, and I want to feed them. All of this gives me the feeling of fulfillment as a person, as a member of the community, and as a member of the National Junior Honors Society. So, definitely, I would be more than proud to be part of this society.…
