Personal Narrative: The Interact Club
I feel that I am qualified to be an officer because I was a member, Vice-President, and then President of my high school’s volunteer club (Interact Club). I went to a small, Christian private school, and the club was student-lead with minimal help from our two faculty sponsors. The Interact Club was my greatest achievement in high school. Before my Secretary, and then Vice President and I came into office, even at our small school, many students, teachers and faculty were unaware of what Interact was and what we did in the community. We brought a new aura, publicity, worked exclusively with our Head of School, designed brand new t-shirts, brought in a new executive board, financial sponsors, and hosted our school’s very first talent show where

    I don’t know how to begin to define myself in order for you to understand who I truly am. I believe there is more to a person than stories that mould us into who we are today; like when one asks, “Tell me your story," I don’t think about that time when my family broke into two or that time I was diagnosed with my mental illnesses. I think of coffee, because coffee is bitter and bitter people drink coffee, sad people; people with heavy hearts and heavy footsteps, with tangled thoughts, people with anxiety and words left unspoken, people like me. Lonely people drink coffee. I think of the world map I have in my room with thumbtacks marking every country I want to visit. I think of foreign languages, and how beautiful it sounds when words form…

    I do believe I am capable of being a great officer because, I’m reliable, responsible, dedicated, determined, respectful, creative, positive. To be good at anything you need to be trustworthy and have a positive attitude to get through you giving tasks. You cant be a good leader if your not trustworthy and responsible! No one will respect you if your not believable. I treat everyone and everything with respect.…

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    Who am I? That has always been an essential question for as long as I can remember. I never really understood why we had to answer that question along the way, but I’m now a senior at SJPII and I still have no idea who I am. It really bothers me that for 16 years I still haven’t figured out who I am. Constantly going from class to class and making new friends I still can’t pin point who the “real” me is.…

    I never had a problem with being a mechanic but I feel I have a greater potential to "do things", to actually have decision making skills to change what I felt needed to be changed. As an E1 and even up to this point as an E3 I have seen many of my peers fooling around and have seen those higher above me stagnant in their positions and I don't want that to be me. I want to not only be able to grow as an individual and consistently try to improve myself and my career, I want to be able to bring those around me up with me as best as I can. Hopefully if one day I manage to become a commander of a unit I'll be able to make the changes that I feel need to me made because the soldiers and the Army that I have seen from the bottom looking up and from the inside out is but a shell of its former glory. I'm not saying I'd be able to change the Army overnight. I know I would have to work a long time and on a small scale to slowly improve this force as a whole, but I feel given the opportunity I would be able to make a great leader and demonstrate by example to the soldiers following after me. In short I would like to be an officer in order to grow as a person, to display what it means to be a leader, and to help those around me who also…

    It would be an honor to be a FBLA officer again this year and I have a lot of experience since I was the secretary for FBLA last year. I went to every single meeting and I came to all our school functions like trunk or treat and I donated to all our fundraisers. I had a blast last year being a part of this club and I enjoyed making decisions that influenced FBLA events. I am in many other clubs like SCA, Latin club, and book club because I love working with others and contributing to our community. I know I would be a great officer because I am very responsible, organized, and a motivated leader.…

    Throughout high school, I was involved in my schools Interact Club which was sponsored by Rotary and we would volunteer for a plethora of community opportunities. One of the most memorable events that we would be a part of was using toilet paper rolls as a container for candy to be given to underprivileged kids in Mexico for Christmas. This was a multi-step process that brought more than 60 of our members together on weekends forming a conveyor line to 1) remove any remaining toilet paper, 2) wrap the roll in Christmas wrapping paper with one side taped shut, 3) filling each roll with precisely 10 pieces of candy, and finally 4) tape the other side shut and form a send out pile. Interact spent every weekend for 5 hours in the month of November…

    As a particularly curious and proactive member of society, I consider myself to be civically engaged; although the degree of engagement can be argued. Personally, I believe that small things make up the larger picture, so my engagement is mostly interpersonal, as small interactions can set of chain reactions. Speaking out on issues with (or to) friends, politely engaging strangers in conversations and presenting different points of view, and constantly seeking to better myself is how I remain aware and knowledgeable on current issues, and also how I continue to learn new things and refine my thoughts. Not everyone is born to take center stage, and so we must all strive to do what we can, even if it’s simply a few words of encouragement or a…

    First of all, I display excellent leadership skills. For example, in JROTC I am the 1st Sergeant and it isn't a rank that just anyone could get. I am responsible for correcting uniform violations, the accountability for all cadets in Alpha company , as well as taking control of the company in the absence of all officers. Being the 1st Sergeant takes a lot of discipline and attention to the job because if something goes left it all falls on me. I also served as Beta Club secretary 8th grade year and co-secretary my 9th and 10th grade years.As secretary, it was my duty to ensure that meetings are organized, recorded and minuted. Notes from past meetings had to be handled properly and decisions made during those meetings had to be recorded and presented to the everyone.One of the lessons that is taught in JROTC is to lead , you first must serve others.…

    My Junior Year Essay

    To become an officer you had to make a speech about why you would be a good officer. Also take a test over the history of FFA, and people would vote on who they wanted. I did not think that I was the type of person to make officer, but I tried and I made it! Along with this responsibility I was the chaplain as well. Since I was given this position I had responsibilities that I had to take care of. Some of those responsibilities include state convention, planning meetings, making prayers, and attending different school programs. The beginning of my senior year we went to state convention and it was the best summer of my life. The state convention was for picking the new state officers for the following year. I was able to meet so many different people, and experience a different side of FFA. They had a lot of speeches we had to listen to and we also had to give one as well. The topic was “Why is FFA Important to you?” We gave a wonderful speech and everyone enjoyed it. State convention was so much fun, we got a concert provided to us and got to roam the Fort Worth stockyards for the weekend. Being an officer was not always easy though we had to conduct speeches and make sure everyone was on task with what they had to do. Sometimes things were tough but overall it was worth every…

    “Start playing my people,” shouted Olivia with a strange noise at the end that was a combination of “mm” and “g”. I looked down at what I had just spent the last three hours creating and realized I wasn’t ready yet. There was still so much to build; Lily’s kitchen was not nearly completed.…

    “Connecting with my core” begins by taking the time to develop a deep connection with my personal core. Spending time determining my purpose, values, and intentions will provide me with the foundation needed to ground my decision making as an administrator. Learning to be true to me, relying on and trusting this foundation when making decisions during easy times and when things get tough, leads to consistent and courageous leaders. Once I have made a connection with my personal core, it’s time to lead stakeholders through a process of developing their core. Organizing small “coffee-house” style gatherings is one approach that could be used in this district. The district already has active parent and booster groups, which would make a great…

    1) Zanna Prentiss was video recording students with her phone to post on her Snap Chat account. I kindly asked her to delete and not post the video. She then was being disrespectful for the rest of the meeting and towards the final minutes left the room with Katie Walkama. When the meeting finished both of them and Josh Bent came back into the room, and asked me to speak with them outside of the room to discuss about what had happened. I explained to them that these kids were under my responsibility at that time and, that nobody can film or audio record anybody without permission. I have signed commitment contracts from those students, meaning they agreed to the Real Talk handbook…
