Character, by definition, is the set of qualities that make somebody or something distinctive, especially somebody's qualities of mind and feeling. So what are my character traits? What do I possess that sets me apart from everyone else? When I started writing this application, those were the questions I asked myself. I really got to thinking about who I am and what traits I have that would make me a National Honor Society member.
I believe that I am a very kind, generous, and outgoing person. I love giving my time to help others and I always look for a way to do so. My favorite volunteer projects I do are the ones when I get to spend time with children. During the summer I serve lunch about two to three times a month at a church, down town, in an under privileged neighborhood. At the church there is also a Boys and Girls Club. We serve lunch to these kids as well. I just love playing with the kids and really watching them from the beginning of the summer, to the end and how they grow and develop a personality.
Being kind and loving, goes hand in hand with being a good leader. In the past three years at Kennedy, I have been a part of a numerous amount of leadership positions. My freshman year, I got the wonderful opportunity to be the student director of the spring musical, Sweeney Todd. I got to work side by side with an amazing leader and role model. My leadership did not stop there. My Sophomore year, I was Treasurer of the Theatre Department and student director of a speech event. My Junior year, I am the President of the Theatre Department, Secretary of the Class of 2013, and student director of Playtime Poppy. These positions have helped me grow as a person and increased my responsibility immensely. They have helped me to realize that helping and leading people is what I want to do.
