My experience with Healthy Paws began junior year after I joined a program called 20/20 Leadership. The program required every school to design a project that will help a need in our community. It just so happen that this year topic was health. We were really excited because most of our members were a part of the Health Community or planned to pursue a career in the health field. After we met a few time we decided to expand upon a program that already existed in our school called Healthy Paws. Healthy paw was a really small organization through KU. Not many students had ever heard of it because the students that organized could not directly reach out to the student. And while they had some idea about what high school students worried about, …show more content…
A few years back they decided to involve random students in the Health Community. We wanted to do more however and opened the group up to any student that would listen. We design topics that range between good nutrient and daily exercise to sexual transmitted disease and mental illness. We would ask students what health topics they wanted to learn more about then go design-interesting programs were students could learn more about those topics. Having an in-school clinic also helped because we could see what areas our peers needed the most help in and get advise from professionals actually working in the field. We wanted to create an environment where students felt comfortable asking question they couldn’t ask other adults or there friends without feeling embarrassed. We asked them about their concerns and what they believe need to change for Wyandotte County and Wyandotte High School to get ‘in shape’. At first we didn’t get too many students coming down. That was okay because the few students that did come down really enjoyed the program. It wasn’t long before word about the program got around and more and more students began coming down. Teacher had even heard about we were doing and peeked their heads in to see what we had plan for that
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.
I have done some research on all the groups available at your unique and extraordinary campus. There are many groups that I intend to participate in and contribute to. After reading about all the choices I was very intrigued by the COW 4 Kids organization. This organization and what they are about is very important to me. I have learned that they care for abused children and look to improve their home and school life by fostering and or adoption.
Morehouse School of Medicine is an appealing option for pursuing my medical education. When reading Morehouse’s mission statement, improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities grasped my attention. My clinical experiences revolve around communities that are underserved, and sharing the same mission as Morehouse is key to becoming the physician I aspire to be. One of the things that stood out to me about Morehouse is the student run Good Samaritan Health Center. I am very interested about being involved with God Samaritan, because it is akin to the Siloam Family Health Center that I volunteer at, and it is an embodiment of Morehouse’s mission.

At Colorado State University (CSU), located in Fort Collins, Colorado, there is a team that focuses on exactly that. CREWS is sponsored by the CSU Health Network and is run by students who are wanting to make a difference on their own campus. CREWS, which stands for Creating Respect and Educating Wellness for and by Students, has a mission that “is devoted to increasing positive health behaviors and perceptions as well as supporting harm reduction among the student body at Colorado State University through non-judgmental initiatives” (CSU Health Network, 2014).

The Keck Geology Consortium is dedicated to enhancing the diversity of future scientific communities and sharing our science with a broader audience. Please describe how you, based on your personal background and life experiences (including social, cultural, familial, educational, or other opportunities or challenges) will contribute to this mission during and after participation in a Keck research project. Six years ago, I made the life-changing decision to join my local 4-H club. At the time, I didn’t realize just how valuable this experience would be and what an impact it would have on my life.
The Public Health club has a lot of potential beyond what it has already produced. My vision for the club is that we embrace all majors, and make public health applicable to various interests and studies. Public Health is massive field that covers every aspect of our daily lives, and I want others to understand that. In achieving this, I hope to bring about education on various careers that utilize public health that many wouldn’t think do. I hope to encourage that all students no matter what their future goals are to join and learn about public health.
