What You Thing About Essay

One who is democratic leads by example, serves others, and participates in activities that will be an asset to society. As I prepare to graduate in a few short months, I believe that my high school career has been overwhelmed with democratic acts. Throughout the last four years of my life, my parents would always get on my case for staying up too late at night. However I wasn't watching TV, playing video games, or browsing facebook; I was doing what I was passionate about: working hard at what I love to do. I have had the opportunity to work with great individuals on dynamic projects throughout high school. I have led teams, started events, and directed committees, all of which have benefited the high school in one way or another. My goal from the start has not been to "beef up" my resume, but instead to create a positive school climate while raising money for charitable organizations. The students of our school are blessed to have a plentiful selection of scholarship options, as even in economic turmoil, individuals of this town continue to value the education of the future.

In an extension of my resume, I created an event where two rival high schools broke down their barriers for one evening and raised thousands of dollars for the Madonna House and Project Graduation. I led a group of about a dozen students through the rollercoaster ride of planning and organizing. In the end it was worth it, as the gymnasium was packed with students and the event was displayed on the front page of multiple newspapers. In addition, I am the co-president of Students Against Destructive Decisions, my class' representative for the Accreditation for Growth committee, the liaison to a teen wellness/suicide prevention committee, a manager of a restaurant, and an active executive board member of the Wall Business and Finance Academy, DECA, and the Class of 2010.
