The Boys and Girls Club, a place where you can relax with fun activities included. A place where you can hang out with your friend and talk during free time and have a snack! There is endless fun within the Boys and girls club! Everyone here has different backgrounds, and different personalities. All the Club members here have different aspects of life and are known for different things. I have been a Club member for about 6 months now, and it has been amazing! My background is different, like every other member here, I am particularly known as a kind person who doesn’t give up, but sometimes gets mad at the slightest things, and I recognize that. This place helps me keep my grades up, if I need to get things done, then I can just do it during Power Hour! The people here even …show more content…
Leadership is needed everywhere, and only a select few can be a leader. As a seventh grader, I am so confused with life, why social media is important, and WHY DO PEOPLE (Particularly followers) CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE NEW TRENDS. Here though, the students here also are wondering about that, but are too afraid to admit it. I can connect to them in some way or another, whether it’s a good connection or bad connection, I get what they think. They helped me overcome this world of followers and become a leader. I come here to tell a story about the insights of the Boys and Girls club. It may be good or bad, it may be controversial, but great leaders tell the truth. If you tell the truth, then it will work better out. If you be honest that you lost your homework, then you wouldn’t get in trouble as much. In the principal’s office, for example, I have only been there once. I called two people “gay” in 5th grade. It was a bad choice and at the time, I didn’t even know what the word “gay” meant. The only reason I said it was because everyone else was saying that. I went to the principal’s office and will never forget it. I immediately said I did
In history there are a lot of great leaders who stood up for what they believed in and never gave up, such as the books A Mighty Long Way by Carlotta Walls LaNier and Little Rock Girl by Shelley Tougas. In the book there are young leaders who never gave up and had a great impact on young people. 14 year old Carlotta, was in the group with 8 other young teenagers who only wanted to make it to class. Just making it through the door of Central High was a huge relief. In 1957, during the integration in Little Rock Central High school, the media illuminated certain events but showed an inaccurate or incomplete picture of other events.
Beta Club is considered a service organization. Each semester, Beta Club members are required to complete ten hours of service. To some people, Beta Club is something they are involved with because all of their classmates seem to be involved with it, but to others like me, Beta Club holds a much greater meaning. Beta Club is a way to find people in need right in our own community.
I just called the Pro Shop, and reserved the 8:50 tee time for Tuesday, October 13th. The Men 's Club has taken all tee times from 9:00 until 9:40 that day. Carol and Sandi e-mailed that they wanted to play closer to 9:00, so I hope that 's not too early for you. Let me know if your plans change. Otherwise, I 'll check us in and then meet you in the parking lot prior to our tee time.
The boys and girls club has many great sports activities to join in to help get kids out of the street and become more active in their community. They are there for you when you need them the most and you make so many new positive friends through the activities they have. Camp voyageur was my favorite camp they made you feel wanted and you never felt left out the camp leaders helped you become a leader and made you feel more independent. Boys and girls club have shown me a lot in life and I want to further my education so that someday I can give back to them. With all of my reasons why I want to further my education the most important reason is so I can give back to my family and community one day.
Being a Grade 8 Retreat leader was an amazing opportunity that I will continue to look back on with fondness throughout my life. The Retreat is an annual event that our school holds to help the Grade 8 students build friendships. I remembered my own grade 8 retreat as an influential part of my high school experience, so when I became old enough to become a leader, I jumped at the opportunity. Creating team posters and name tags were some of the more routine tasks that had to be completed before the retreat. However, the more rewarding aspect of the retreat was being able to bond with the children.

At my high school, the Beta Club is the most elite, respected, and prestigious club. It is filled with the leaders, the doers, the hard-working, and the individuals who turn their dreams into reality. It is not for everyone, and in our ever-changing society, that is clear. Most people today do not like to rise up to the ever-growing challenge of leadership. It takes a certain kind of person to be a good leader, and the Beta Club has greatly helped me in doing so.
Just shortly after 2:30pm on a Thursday, Heather and I pulled into the parking lot at the new Middle School and caught up with the rest of our English Comp class. I am dumbfounded by how this new Middle School has turned out. I was thirsting for knowledge about the new building yet the only thing I really wanted to know was the comparison between the new and old school’s way of learning and schedules. The building itself reminded me of college campuses that I have visited where the architecture is very geometric and intricate. The building itself looks as though it has been untouched and unused even though school has been in session for about a month and a half now.
It is a safe place where I can truly be myself without the fear of being judged. I make so many friends while I am there and they accept me for who I am. One of the friends that I made in my small group was talking about why Montreat was so great. He said, “We are all weirdos here, that’s what makes it great.” We all share our opinions and we talk about how we want to make a difference.
Telling not just adults but teenagers, elementary kids, and a whole lot of people that you can become a leader you just have to believe in
It was January 29th, 2012, and I felt as though I was just thrown under a bus. My life as I knew it, was changed forever. This metaphorical bus taught me a lesson... that being loyal, and doing the right thing, aren’t always the same. People try to live up to a standard, but most of the time, this is just the societal norm. Being faithful in a friendship, can conventionally be necessary, but it's never worth lying over, and that's where I went wrong.
Social Expectations As a woman when I was born, especially a white woman, it was not uncommon for mothers to stay at home and take care of the children. I held the expectation that eventually I would marry and have children, and it would not be unexpected for me to become a stay-at-home mother. This was especially because my mother married my father at nineteen years old, only a year after they graduated high school. Since I was born in the late 90s, I identify as a millennial, and believe that because of things like technology, life is much easier for the generation to which I belong.
Have you ever read a fairy tale? Well I 'm not much of a fairy but I 'll tell you my tale. That 's right, cheesy lines and phrases have always been my thing probably because of their unexpected turns and meanings which I can relate to. To be blunt for a change, something that I never am.
The Unseen I’m sitting in the car with my mom in the driver seat. Holding casual conversation, when she mentioned something about my sister, Khighla. She said that she had run away from home in Missouri and she hadn’t come home in a couple days. Giving her a worried look she reassured me that hopefully everything was okay and that she would be home soon if not that day. I went to bed that night crying.
Many of us have had major experience that have shaped our life, but I have had two major experiences that have shaped me as a student. One was when I was in Elementary where I truly realized that I had to make a major change. I was young, had bad behavior, and was lacking the comprehension of actually caring for my education. I lacked to understand the basis of self-regulation and comprehension of time management. What was truly nerve racking was that I dint have no one’s help.
