Disaster Preparedness Club

1407 Words6 Pages

As a 10 year old, I joined a cycling group of peers, led voluntarily by a Mr. Brown, an aging Holocaust survivor. After proving my dedication for a year, I had the honor of Mr. Brown allowing me to assist leading and organizing the group for the next 4 years. I initiated and helped to implement standard safety measures with respect to the rider count, communication systems between riders, and identifying gear to keep all riders safe. For the past two summers, I was an Assistant Manager and Lifeguard of a day camp with 200+ children enrolled in which I had many safety related responsibilities including, implementing availability of First Aid kits and “awareness talks”. In high school, I continued with my leadership in preparedness endeavors, …show more content…

Ever since I founded this Club, I have been leading meetings every week for all fellow members teaching them the importance of preparing for a potential crisis, how to prepare for a crisis, what to do during a crisis, and what to do after a crisis. I also co-lead a bike club for younger kids in the Hasidic Community that rides every Friday afternoon from their crowded urban neighborhood to Prospect Park, getting them to engage with public recreation and physical activities in a safe …show more content…

In my role as president of the disaster preparedness club, I have increased awareness with a large part of my school on the subject of disaster preparedness. I have also been instrumental in training myself and the rest of my club members (around 20 students) how to prepare for most natural disasters.
Question 6: Examples of Volunteer or extracurricular activities/projects

I have been part of, and later a leader, in a children’s bike club in my neighborhood. This bike club is the only such club in my neighborhood, which is generally insular and non-participatory in public and physical recreation. I dedicate a lot of my time to this bike club since it allows me to give back to the community. In my school, I am a dedicated part of our Mock Trial team, where my role is to prepare and train other members of the team to be able to perform when they get up to the podium. I am also involved in my school’s Odyssey of the Mind club, where I work with other club members to further develop our STEM skills. I am also a member of my school’s math team and my school’s math enrichment program in which I develop my math skill to no limit. I am also the founder and president of my school’s disaster preparedness

    Of my many volunteer and paid extra-curricular activities, the most important to me is the National Art Honor Society, which extends artistic activities to my community. We organize two school events: the Festival of Trees and the Talent Competition. The Festival of Trees is an event when every school club can choose to donate and decorate a tree that we set up. All of the money raised goes to an organization of our choice. For the last 4 years, we have donated to Street Grace, which benefits the fight against human trafficking, especially in the Metro Atlanta area.

Prior to this school year, I was fortunate enough to attend a weeklong event called Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, where I lived there for a week surrounded by young leaders from all over south jersey.

    Growing up, I attended a very family oriented school that has helped me to grow, by exposing me to people who perform care taking roles. My involvement in the National Honor Society and other activities helped me mature and required me to develop the four pillars of personal leadership, service, character, and scholarship that allow me to connect with different people outside of my peer group. Immersing myself in these social groups, guided me to fully commit to and carry out many responsibilities. Since the ninth grade, I have been a part of my high school’s basketball team, which has taught me leadership and enriched my communication skills. Being a member of high-school teams helped me understand that sometimes I need to drop the walls I keep in place to allow my team members and I to work together as one family.

Starting eighth grade, I had begun my journey by being a part of the Junior National Honor Society and becoming our classes representative, or as others say “Junior High valedictorian”. At this point in my life, I was able to realize that I demonstrated all the characteristics that a leader needed, and I was viewed to students and teachers as a mentor.
