High School’s Key Club President, I was able to witness the compelling challenges of working on a club board. As a club, we were able to double our club membership, increase active membership, and strengthen Kiwanis family relations. I believe that working on the club board is crucial for the position of Membership Growth & Reactivation Chair because I will be working with a dynamic range of clubs who are struggling with the same things I have went through in the past. However, each club is different
may be merely a club at Chatfield, to me and many of my friends, caring is truly our way of life, and we try to live our lives as servant leaders to the best of our ability. Key Club has shaped me for almost four years, helping me become a better public speaker, a more caring person, and a confident individual. In fact, this past summer, I attended my second Key Club International Convention in Atlanta, where I was able to elect a new International Board with over a thousand other Key Clubbers from
Observations on Aging “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was?” Satchel Paige, Baseball Player *** Compare the words aging or elderly with youth and vibrancy. Which do you prefer? When I was in my twenties, I had the attitude that I was different from everyone else. Old people were old because they were weak mentally. Aging got the better of them because they allowed it to do so. I would be an anomaly and stay alive for as long as I wanted. I ran a 4:30 mile simply by sprinting

graduating class of 328 students. Not only was I able to uphold topmost academic achievements and successes, I also participated in many clubs in high school. During my sophomore year of high school, I was a part of Key Club, an organization specifically designed for high school students that operates under the guidance of student leaders. The primary objective of Key Club is to foster leadership skills through the act of selflessly
was an underclassman the definitions of clubs seemed to blur into an indistinguishable mass. Yet, I eventually realized that Key Club stood out because of its member’s desire to serve. For me, Key Club has become staying up late and drafting an email again and again, or spending hours organizing a program, and always getting to serve a school that has done so much for me. Despite its hardships, I have loved being the K2K East board member this year! Key Club has given me fantastic opportunities to
Most ninth graders do not want to draw attention to themselves at school. This is why I even surprised myself that my freshman year I ran for treasurer of Key Club. Being Treasurer would not only mean that I was in charge of the money, but also that I would have to stand in front of an auditorium full of students and talk to them about upcoming events and dates. Just a few years earlier, I never would have had the courage to do this. I have come so far from who I used to be and it is all because
stood for volunteerism within a community, initially I didn’t comprehend the message hidden behind Key Club’s reputation. Key Club is a service organization dedicated to supporting its community and allowing it flourish during dark times. This realization came to me as I helped organize a memorial basketball tournament honoring a lost, but never forgotten community member, a family member. Key Club served to not only recognize, but emphasize this fact by honoring our own lost girl using her passions
Through my experiences in Key Club, USL, and Leadership I already feel more confident to lead others, serve the community, and relate to peers when it comes to important issues just by learning from past experiences in other clubs. Through this past year I have observed a lot from the clubs I have participated in. For example, Semester 2 of last year Key Club held a movie night fundraiser, but not many people showed up. People bought popcorn
Ever wondered why children are so sure about what they want to busy themselves with? When it comes to outdoor sports, most kids have particular likes and dislikes which come very naturally to them. As parents, it’s up to you to nurture their talents or suggest suitable alternatives. But the general thumb rule is, let the child play as many games as he wants to before zeroing in on a few favourites. Only then can you go ahead with providing formal coaching to them in those sports. Come to think of
During my high school career I have made a consistent effort to stay involved in both my school and community. Through clubs such as Key Club, National Art Honor Society, and National Honor Society I’ve been able to help out locally and globally in an abundance of ways. In Key club and NHS I am able to volunteer in traditional ways, but National Arts Honors Society allows me to contribute to my community and school in a creative way that stimulates people 's minds through art. Due to these activities

Joining Key Club this year has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my high school career. The summer before senior year, I started volunteering at Chelsea Public Library with the intention of joining Key Club when the school year started. With 18 hours of community service under my belt I was determined to complete my 100 hours of community service by the end of senior year. Most members have three to four years to complete these hours, and as a senior, I was trying to accomplish what most
could not have imagined just how much joining the Key Club would impact my life in the long run. My involvement in the Kiwanis Key Club was invaluable to my growth during my high school years because it served as a link to my community and an opportunity to exercise valuable leadership skills. The Kiwanis Key Club served as a bridge to my community during my time in high school, allowing me to serve and learn about various parts of my local town. Key Club familiarized me with various areas in Gainesville
My junior year I was introduced to the Key Club by one of my friends. I am always volunteering and helping around the community, so Key Club was the club for me. Through Key Club I was introduced to a program called Kids Who Care. This program allows students like myself to go volunteer at nursing homes, senior homes and hospitals. The program is designed to help seniors, young kids that are ill, and people with disabilities. Through this program I can simply go visit them and play games with them

What is Unicode SMS? The term “Unicode SMS” refers to text messages sent and received containing characters not included in the default GSM character set. GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications (originally “Groupe Spécial Mobile”), and the GSM character set is a collection of the 128 letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9) and symbols (i.e. @, ?, !, &, etc.) most commonly used in mobile communications. Because GSM was developed in Europe and uses 7-bit binary code, it has its limitations. For
While spending a lazy afternoon at home, reading a fiction thriller novel in my bedroom, and listening to Mozart, I can’t help but notice how everything feels different. It must be the oddity of having the luxury of time without worrying about any academic matter, but I know there’s something deeper than that. I was away for only a year and a half except for holiday breaks and the short weekend trips I make when I have time. College is tough to deal with especially when away from home. UP makes

You can't expect a new team to perform well when it first comes together. Through time many team development theories have been set with the aim of better understanding team work and accomplishing the given task as efficient as possible. Such as Tuckman’s group development stages; in his theory he recognizes that teams develop through different stages, from forming to performing.
