In 2007, I, along with a few of my peers, founded the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild as a way to give back to our community. Since then, this nonprofit organization has raised thousands of dollars that has gone to support uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Throughout my middle school and high school years, I have been very involved with this group. When I had the opportunity to choose a service placement for this year, I immediately knew I would be doing my service through the Little Lemon Drop Jr. Guild because of my previous involvement with the guild and my passion for the cause the guild supports.
Being able to see their contributions to Camp Shawnee like the bunk beds and mattress in the camp, they built tables for the new Craft Room, and screening in the gazebo by the lake. Being with (CAP), I felt like my opinion mattered especially when it came down to social media, the Mt. Spirit magazine, creating images for Canva, and the weekly meeting with Mr. Clay, Mrs. Tina and I. (CAP) is an organization that is very friendly even with Mr. Guy Adams, the president and chief executive officer of CAP, Phyllis Caudill, the assistant vice president of philanthropy. Everyone that I have met at (CAP) has been so nice and accepting and willing to help me with anything. Mrs. Bryson has taught me so many lessons when it comes to public relations, especially when writing press release and learning various ways of writing a press release, even gaining the skill of turning an interview into a press release, being able to use BurrellesLuce, Canva, SmugMug, and creating a Media List, even when posting images on Instagram and the word usage. She made sure that I understood the basics of (CAP) and what they stand
Juliette Gordon Low was the founder of the Girl Scouts. Although being deaf, Juliette was a quite successful woman in the deaf community. Juliette Magill Kinzie Gordon was born in Savannah, Georgia on October 31, 1860. She grew up in Savannah, Georgia with her parents William Washington Gordon ll and her mother Eleanor Lytle Kinzie. She was the second of six children.
Juliette Gordon Low is one of the most significant figures in the history of the United States. Due to her contributions to the American Scouting movement, she is celebrated as the founder of Girl Scouts in the country. She was an ambitious leader who established the formal scouting for girls in the United States. Her contribution to the growth of the organization was inspired by the lessons she learned while in Europe and the need to guide girls to a better life. Drawing lessons from her experience in Europe, Juliette started what became a strong association that influenced the lives of girl scouts.
Through Girl Scouts, these young girls are taught normative norms of girlhood, a blueprint for being a “normal” girl. “Girl Scouting is for YOU and every girl, everywhere! Girl Scouts of today become [the] leaders of tomorrow. Lead the life you always imagined! In Girl Scouts, you get to choose your own adventure as you develop your leadership skills, earn badges, hike, camp, sell cookies, and much more.
However, as time passed I acquired a sense of responsibility to help my community out. The “End of Year” report also encourages members of the unit to assist in the community. Some people are involved in the Ambulance Corps, Firehouse, Police Department, Youth Court,etc. When we go to certain community service events, cadets might like that event a lot. For example, a cadet might volunteer at the local thrift store and love the atmosphere.
The Boy Scouts of America is founded on February 8, 1910 -The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 -The Idaho Big Burn happened in August of 1910 -The Versailles Treaty is signed on June 26,1919 -The
Her major accomplishment is coming from a major upper class Southern status to providing privileges to people of different status and race. This soon spread all over across the country and state to where most girls wanted to be in Girl Scouts. This had a great impact on American society because without her, the idea that girls cannot do as many physical activities as boys can wouldn’t be that strong in most people’s head. For instance in 2005, Juliette was memorialized in Washington, DC in the Extra Mile Points of Light Monument. This is the only national monument that pays tribute for individuals who, “causes others to help realize a better America.”
I led twenty-two students during their first year of college to provide them success as students. I co-taught a class that focused on study skills, UNK resources, and involvement on campus. My ability to communicate and adapt to the diversity of the class was shown through creating different learning activities to employ in the classroom. I exemplified team work by collaborating with another instructor. Through my experience as a Peer Academic Leader, I was able to hold two counseling sessions with each student per semester to provide myself as a resource.
This project taught me multiple life lessons. These lessons included concepts such as communication skills, detailed planning, leadership, and vital importance of keeping a commitment. My Eagle Scout Project has given me experiences, and vital practice with skills that most seventeen-year old’s do not receive until later in life. The project has helped me grow and mature as a person. Working through this project has provided me with experiences with managerial responsibilities that I can use later in my life.
I looked forward to this week of camp all summer, and it had finally arrived. The moment I heard the first overwhelmingly, excited squeal of a camper running through the welcoming gauntlet, I knew this was going to be an incredible week. Once all the campers arrived, we followed the normal routine and brought them down to get acquainted with the cabin and with one another. I was in the middle of running back and forth between two giddy girls, when one of the camp supervisors asked to pull me aside for a moment. A thousand thoughts rushed to my head as I made my way over to the supervisor, sure that I was seconds away from getting yelled at.
These experiences taught me how to tune my ideas into actionable goals fine and how to juggle multiple responsibilities. I was also able to cater my message to various populations and communities in a relatable way. Many of my team members and colleagues were pursuing master’s degrees in social work. My two AmeriCorps years are where I learned how the degree would complement my experience to better my performance as I climb up the career
AL-I GOLD Letter of Interest What an honor it was that the esteemed coordinators of the Alaska Leadership Initiative during the 2014-2015 school year saw potential in me to be successful in their program. Upon my completion of Tier 1 and Tier 2 of AL-I, I left with not only the knowledge that I had succeeded in what was expected of me, but also with the knowledge that I had gained valuable and beneficial traits have indeed helped me grow as a person. Since high school, and my first year as a freshman at the University of Alaska Southeast, I have discovered that despite all the knowledge and experience I may have had prior and whilst being a college freshman, I still had much more to acquire. I have proven to myself and those who care for me that since AL-I, and my clumsy freshman year, that I have grown significantly into my adult shoes.
Three weeks of on the-job training, immersed in nature, with fire-cooked food, wonderful people, and a surprisingly low number of mosquitos. What more could a girl want during her Summer vacation? Camp has always provided me with a supportive and inspiring environment growing up. Each year I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zone and grow as a person. After a few years as a camper, I aspired to become a counselor so that I could return the favor to future girls.
My scouting journey began in the fall of 2010. I remember it vividly: it was a rainy, dark Tuesday night at around 6:45 PM. My dad drove me to Scenic Hill elementary school while I fell asleep reading my book by flashlight in the back seat. When he woke me up, I can remember thinking “What on earth am I doing at a school? I just got out of one of these a few hours ago.”
