Reflective Essay On Winter Congress
Last year, my chapter was unfortunately only able to attend Winter Congress because of administration restrictions surrounding exams as well as event conflicts. This year however, I am planning on taking initiative and coming to as many events as possible, starting with the NER One Day and Fall State.

The most defining moment in my JSA career thus far was getting my bill passed at Winter Congress. In my previous debate experience, I had never had the opportunity to write my own bill and debate it in front of an audience. I love how JSA allows students to explore their own political interests and debate about what they are passionate about. I was very interested in climate change, so I decided to write and present a bill to combat climate change

    I discovered that even with the best of intentions, you cannot please everyone; there will always be opposition and not everyone will like you. I realized being an elected official is more challenging than I expected. I recognized in the face of controversy, it is important to listen to others’ point of view while remaining true to your own beliefs. I found out I am resilient and able to turn a stressful situation into a learning experience. I learned I can rise above negativity and come out on top. I am proud to have overcome this challenge and for my ability to look at it as a positive…

    A great work of art that has a great impact on my life is the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickson. The story tells of a cold hearted, selfish business man named Ebenezer Scrooge, who is visited by his deceased business partner Jacob Marley and three ghosts on Christmas Eve. Jacob Marley who chained tells Scrooge that he should change his way or he will be punished in the after life. Marley beged for Scrooge to be given a chance to change. The ghost’s job is to persuade Scrooge to change his ways to avoid punishment in the afterlife. The three ghosts show Scrooge past, present, and future events that help Scrooge realize he is wrong and changes Scrooge into a better person. The story has had an impact on my life in many ways. The story taught me that a person’s behavior is a product of their past. If a person is unkind, it is the events that happened in their past that has made them who they are. It’s a reminder that showing compassion toward unkind people can make them a happier. The story has also taught me to treat people with kindness and respect. Lastly the story has taught me to always help the less fortunate because a little kindness can change a person's life.…

    Does the extent of a person’s success justify the terrible means in which it is achieved? Do all people have an innate conscience that dictates what is right and what is wrong? Society has lowered their moral code thus oppressing the consciousness that is instilled in all humans. The answer to these questions can be found in John Steinbeck’s novel The Winter of Our Discontent. The moral slide of Ethan Hawley’s character is a clear representation of the moral downfall of man. The pressure put on Ethan by his family to be wealthy causes his immorality and corruption to come out. At one point Ethan argues “Strength and success-they are above morality” (Steinbeck 187) and goes on to explain that the ends justify the means which highlights the novel’s theme that any man can fall victim to corruption. Ethan’s actions make it hard to argue that there is hope in modern society’s declining morals.…

    For many people. the months December through February create a vision of happiness and holiday cheer. The thought of all the warm Christmas cookies you and your mom would make, or the pine sweet smell of your just brought home tree, you, already prepared with your basket of ornaments, dusty from being in your basement all year long. The hope of a new year, of new beginnings, of fresh snow, and coming inside from the cold to sit by the burning fire with your favorite book. Thinking of these months can stir up a great deal of memories, and for many, these memories are wonderful. For myself, they always have been. December was a symbol of happiness for me. My family would travel to come to St. Louis, we would routinely follow Christmas traditions from years before, and love was widely spread. However, last December morphed this tremendous enjoyment I got out of these winter months.…

This experience gave me a welcome change of perspective and an opportunity to focus on something greater than myself.

    My participation in Student Government has taught me important leadership skills I will be able to carry with me throughout, not only my college career, but my nursing career. Sports has taught me that hard work, discipline, and teamwork will not only defeat any obstacle that comes my way, but with the help and encouragement of others, we can come together as one and get the job done. My extracurricular activities have taught me that with the aid of others anything is possible. Through my community service volunteering at a local housing company for the mentally disabled, I have seen first-hand what the impact one person can make on another’s life. Helping and mentoring the mentally disabled who can’t do some tasks on their own has touched my heart and changed the way I appreciate life in many different aspects. It just reminds me of how fortunate I am to be able to help other, despite the time it takes to do so. The overall time I have sacrificed to do these extracurricular activities inside and outside of school has all been well worth it. Overall, the life lessons I have learned and the change in character I have gained from these activities are gifts I will be able to carry with me in able to achieve my goal.…
