Pals Club Reflection
During my few years in high school, I have participated in many activities and learned numerous things. One activity that I have consistently participated in is Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley. I am involved in PALS club, which is a club here at Parkland that offers students with disabilities the opportunity to hang out with other students in school and have fun. This club has opened me up to many other opportunities in life, including Special Olympics and Miracle League. The Miracle League organization allows volunteers to help people with disabilities play baseball. Not only do they play baseball against different teams, they also have many other activities offered to people of all ages. As a fellow officer of PALS, we closely keep in

    Summary: Hoops For Haiti

    During my high school years approximately around my sophomore/ junior year my basketball team including I myself attended the Hoops for Haiti fundraiser that Meredith Elementary school hosted. Hoops for Haiti helps aid the disaster relief fund that is held in Haiti. Hundreds of elementary school children paid $5 each for a chance to play with not only Neumann-Goretti’s women’s basketball team but also the men’s team too. All proceeds were meant to go directly to rebuild and fund schools in Haiti. I decided to talk about this specific service that I participated in because not only was it fun but I got to interact with kids younger than me and was able to put smiles on their faces, those who were there and hopefully those in Haiti knowing that they do have people who care and want to help them out in every way possible.…

    Ellen Show Research Paper

    After being on Ellen, I lost a circle of friends in a very hurtful way, as they used social media to mock my TV appearance and shut me out of their circle. However, just like Ellen does every day, I decided to refocus my time, energy, and activities towards something greater. I put my energy into my role as a manager of our high school football team and became involved in an effort to help a young boy with a disability. This boy, Benjamin, needed support and funding for a specialized ramp van to give him more mobility, and as I got to know him and his family better, I was determined to raise awareness of his situation. I spearheaded a social media campaign, which included making a YouTube video to help raise funds. I also introduced Benjamin to our team and organized a special recognition ceremony where he was made an honorary player. The fundraising campaign was a success and Benjamin’s family was able to purchase the ramp van. That year our football team was given the RI Sportsmanship Award in recognition of our efforts.…

    My FFA Career

    Within my school, I am also a member of the Bass fishing team, Volunteens, and National Honor Society (NHS). I have been a member of my high school bass fishing team for all four years of high school. On the team I compete in tournaments each spring to earn a spot on the post season roster. Members of the team are also required to sell raffle tickets to pay for our shirts and other expenses. My freshman year on the team I was one of the top sellers, selling over one-hundred tickets and have continued selling as many as possible. I discovered that the best way is to sell the tickets at our high school boys basketball home games and at the community fish fries. Volunteering in my community is also very important to me, and because of this I joined the Volunteens at my school. With the Volunteens I have helped with the paper…

    Personal Narrative: My Social Justice Service

    This past Summer, as part of my social justice service hour requirement, I volunteered as a big buddy at the Miracle League of Green Bay.The Miracle League is a program that allows children and teens with a disability to play baseball. A big buddy helps one of the players run the bases and hit the ball. Every week you play a different team but have the same buddy. As a big buddy it is also your job to communicate with the player and get to know more about them. My favorite part of this experience was getting to know my player. My player (name), was an eleven year old boy. When I first met him I thought it was going to be hard to relate or talk to him however, as the season went on I realized I was totally wrong. I asked him about what interested…

    Personal Narrative: National Honor Society

    When I was a National Honor Society Member at my High School, we were able to work with a program called VIP Soccer in which volunteers played with and taught special needs children the game of soccer. It was actually my favorite event within our organization especially when we got to see how happy each child was and the smiles on their parents’ faces when they saw that their son or daughter was having fun. Eventually, I was so inspired by this movement that I actually started a similar program but at my local golf club. How I got this started was actually by meeting the owner of the golf club, and the parents of my teammates on my school golf team. After a couple of months of planning and talking to more interested volunteers, I was finally…

    National Honor Society Character Analysis

    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 started volunteering as a partner for Special Olympics several years ago, partly because my family had been involved in caring for people with special needs all my life. Participating in sports with the athletes is very enriching because while volunteers do help quite a bit, it’s incredibly rewarding to help put smiles on the athletes faces and doesn’t feel like work at all.…

    Personal Narrative: My College Career

    All throughout school I have participated in many clubs and organizations that have not only molded me as a person, but have helped me to develop responsibility, and leadership skills. Currently I am an active member of National Honor Society, and DECA. Both of these organizations, provided by my high school, encourage leadership, volunteer work, and have high expectations for behavior, and grades. Being in National Honor Society has shown me to continually do for others in need. There are always opportunities to get involved with the community, and even create drives for things like stuffed animals, and blankets for children who are sick in the hospital, and “Care Catties” for cancer patients, which include tissues, water bottles, hard candy, and lotion. DECA is another organization I am involved in at Frenship High School. DECA is a business organization for high school marketing students looking to learn, develop and compete in a competitive event. I have been a member since my sophomore…

    4-H Club Reflection

    Over the past ten years, I have had the life altering privilege of being a member of the youth organization 4-H. Through 4-H I have learned a plethora of skills from sewing a coat to training a beef calf to lead and everything in between. Most importantly, 4-H has shown me the value of caring for people in the little ways, leadership skills, and community involvement by completing community service projects. After completing various community service projects with my 4-H club, one of my favorite projects was baking Christmas treats for senior citizens. My 4-H club and I adore baking the different types of cookies and treats, but also equally enjoy hand delivering the treats to the senior citizens. In particular, I remember the look of disbelief…

    Personal Narrative: My First Unified Sports Team

    Throughout my softball career I have been a team player and leader. I often played as a utility player adapting to the team’s needs. My sophomore year of high school, myself and another teammate were co-captains. After getting hurt that season, I decided on starting the first Unified sports team at my high school. When creating the program, I wanted to create an inclusive environment that fostered teamwork and sportsmanship between people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities and those without disabilities. I believe that by playing sports myself was very instrumental in the success of the program I established. The Unified team that I play on has some of the best comradeship I have had on a team. Personally, I have seen a change in my sportsmanship. I have seen a return of the care-free pure enjoyment of…

    Reflective Essay: My Experience At The Utah Special Olympics

    As I cheered my athletes on to the finish line, I loved seeing the joy in their faces as their years of preparation paid off. They were talented—not just talented considering their disabilities, but talented in general. Many possessed a positivity that I hope to emulate. It was clear from my experience at the Utah Special Olympics that while I was there to help these athletes, they did far more to help me. I strengthened my leadership skills as I solved problems. I did things I was uncomfortable with. Above all, I loved watching two friends and competitors, whom I am with in an attached photo, encourage each other before they raced. As I noticed their camaraderie, I had the impression that we should all come together, despite our differences, to cheer each other on. This is the feeling that I took with me when I left the games, and it has stayed with me over six months…
