For the past six years, I have been blessed to have participating in American Heritage Girls. I began my journey six years ago as an explorer, and worked hard to earn my Louis and Clark. Even at that age, I was working hard to be able to complete the goal of the Stars and Stripes award. I began to map out how I believed I would be able to complete it. I knew that I would truly begin that process as a Pioneer, and I was eager to begin. When I became a Pioneer, I was able to earn all of the required badges, which let me feel that I would be able to earn the Stars and Stripes. After completing my Harriet Tubman award, I was ready to continue on the journey as a Patriot. In the next level, I worked towards this award by earning my spiritual award, and my Dolley Madison. I knew that soon, I would be at this point, …show more content…
I believe that I want to be able to say that I have been able to complete a difficult task; one that I knew would be difficult, but one that I believe that I will be able to accomplish. I want to be able to say that I was capable of completing such a difficult task, and while I know if won’t be easy, I believe that with the help of my troop and my family I will be able to do it. I know that I will not be able to do this alone, but I know that I have the support of my troop and my family. Within my own troop, we have had two girls work their way through the Stars and Stripes award, and complete it. From their experience I have been able to see how the process works, and which parts will be the most difficult. I know that the process is not a quick and simple one, but one that takes time, and will be a steady process. I understand that the project is not the Stars and Stripes, but instead, a piece of the award. The most difficult piece by far, but not the only part that is necessary for this
I thought to myself, “Was it all worth it?” and quickly dismissing this idea. I came to realize that I didn’t need something solid reference to this achievement, that the knowledge that I could accomplish anything with determination and a little creativity was
Marlina (2015) discussed about patterning the quests of the heroes in question using Campbell’s Hero’s Journey. The author tries to demonstrate that the chosen female heroes for this research: Psyche, Artemis and Katniss, qualify as male heroes. According to traditional beliefs, differences between male and female behavior are genetically or biologically determined. However, recent research has discovered that these differences are actually based on the gender concept or socially constructed. Miller (2012) mentioned that gender is ‘the changeable roles, activities, behaviors, and personality features that a society views’ and is an ideal standard for men and women.
You know how Zeus had other children that were not with Hera, correct? Well, Hera had 1 other child. Her name is Tili. See know Tili has quite the story.
I have had numerous accomplishments in the past three years. Some felt better than others due to the differing amount of effort I had put in, but they all felt pleasing nonetheless. However, the accomplishment I am most proud of is passing the grade eight clarinet exam. It proved that the five years I had spent practicing and performing were worth it, as I now had a real and usable qualification. Even though I was quite talented at playing the clarinet, it still required a vast amount of effort to pass my exam.
However, I have also gained many life experiences that some many never have, I have participated in the Ross County Queens’ Contest, went to 4-H camps during the summer, and have had the opportunity to raise and show hogs at the county fair. Additionally being a Camp Counselor, a member of Junior Fair Board, and Junior Leaders great
and you will have what you seek. Your redemption is before you. I know you remember when God blocked the sun from shining and caused the moon to turn red as a sign and worked miracles against your enemies. He wanted to prove His word that you are the chosen and to endorse holiness and devotion. See what a calamity it will be for you to lose what you have longed to have because you choose to be one of the crowd.
I find it is very gratifying to know that when we all work together for a common cause, the outcome is beneficial to people in our community. These experiences in the New Hampton community have created and strengthened my values of hard work, academic success through education, and community participation. As an eager young person, I believe these are the key factors in having a career and being successful in life. I know that many of my peers share my enthusiasm for success and the New Hampton community has a history of strengthening young people to become successful adults. I also know the difficult decision that is before this committee in making the choice for those whom will be selected into this year’s National Honors Society, this decision will require both thought and hard consideration.
As a junior in high school, I was inducted into the National Honor Society for doing exceptionally well in my academic endeavors and actively participating in volunteer events. My contributions through this organization have made a significant impact on both my personal development and my community’s support services. The numerous volunteer projects in which I have participated have prepared me to continue helping others in the future. Through projects such as building houses from the ground-up with Habitat for Humanity, I have developed teamwork skills, discovered my management potential, and increased my social network, all while working to provide services for less fortunate individuals in my community. Some
Aside from studying diligently, I also participate in extracurricular activities. Before joining Frontier, I used to do traditional dance in my home country since I was 6 years old. The experience I gained from the years of dancing allowed me to choreograph a dance routine for school when I was 13 years old . This opportunity allowed me to refine my leadership and organizational skills. I took upon the challenge and I was able to come up with a creative story through music and movement.
I had asked God to show me His love for me like if He needed to prove it. In my questioning and in my doubts, I made it seem as if I didn't trust Him. He took my hand and led me to a crowded street. I could barely see through all the crowd.
“A winner is a dreamer who never gives up”- Nelson Mandela When I dream about who and where I want to be in the future, I know I don't have any plans on giving up on my goals. It is an honor to be nominated for the National Junior Honor Society. I believe that being in NJHS will help me continue to work toward and achieve my goals of developing my social, and leadership skills as well as community involvement, all of which will be beneficial in the future. Being in NJHS would be a great opportunity for me to be surrounded by others who share similar goals and aspirations. Furthermore, I feel that being a member will be a great opportunity to be a part of a community that teaches and helps you grow in different skills such as, how to become
It has been a long journey to get to where I am considered to be today. There has been many obstacles to overcome both academically and personally. ....... I have accomplished many tasks in my high school years, however, the one that truly molded me into who I am today is three years ago when I received my first Exceptional Bear Achievement Award. The Exceptional Bear Achievement Award is granted to those who maintain a 4.0 GPA all year long.
Overall, the entire process of my Eagle Scout Project has truly marked my transition from being a child to a young adult. My Eagle Scout Project has given me the privilege of helping my community. I learned what it truly takes to perform a project, start to finish. My passage from childhood to adulthood was demonstrated by my dedication and commitment throughout this project, which has shown me the potential I have to make a difference in my
Experience gained during my junior year as trombone section leader prepared me for my new role as band president. This position required me to motivate and inspire the members of my section to perform to
A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
