1. Why do you feel that you would be a strong candidate for the MaCS Program? I feel that I will be a strong candidate for the MaCS program due to my interest and previous studies in the subjects that are enriched in the MaCS program (math, science and English). I frequently work on grade 10–11 math and science. At the time of writing, I'm studying quadratic relations, and anatomy/ physiology. Furthermore, at the information night, upon learning about the various clubs offered at WLM, my interest in the school was piqued. If I was to be accepted and thus attend WLM, I know that I would become a contributor to the school. At the information night, I learnt about three or four different clubs that I hope to become a part of. Aside from extracurriculars, I also will be beneficial to the academics of the school, as I am an earnest, studious student. In both sixth and seventh grade, I was on the honour roll, along with the academic award....show more content... Provide details of leadership and extracurricular activities that you have been involved with in the past two years. Activities may include, but are not limited to, school and community involvement.

I also helped out at our school's parent–teacher interviews last week by guiding them around to where they needed to
Originally, I joined NHS out of curiosity. I had an acquaintance in the club who suggested I apply–however I was perplexed by the two–essay application. I wanted to know if NHS was selective because it was really great to be a member, or because it was great to say I was one. I also, quite frankly, wondered if I would be accepted. However, since then I've realized NHS expects commitment from its members for the sake of commitment– rather than for the sake of membership. NHS has high expectations of its members, so that they can have high expectations for themselves. For me, the requirements for NHS both detracted from, and added to, the club. For instance, NHS requires more hours per member than most other service clubs on campus. This meant I had to commit to NHS over other organizations; however giving more time to NHS also helped me place more value in my membership. Similarly, the NHS application both discouraged, and sparked my interest in joining. I find personally reflective writing–like that requested in the NHS application– difficult, so for me the application required dedication to the club without the promise of return. While this was manageable for me as a sophomore, if I had been...show more content...
Since I haven't been to many social events, I can't really say if NHS would benefit from hosting more of them. However, I remember being slightly intimidated by the socials that were held because I didn't know many other NHS members well. I found it easier to meet other members through volunteering because volunteering gave me an excuse to interact–I didn't feel pressure to get to know people like I might have at a social. If NHS was to have more socials next year, it would be nice if they were directed around something other than just socializing– bowling, laser tag, a dinner–something that could bring people together but still provide a crutch to interact

Reflective Essay
High school, for many, is commonly termed as "the greatest four years of your life." It is stopping for coffee with your friends while listening to your favorite songs on the way to school in the morning. It is staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring to finally go to your favorite class of the day. It is staying after a long day of class for meetings, clubs, or sports, or it is spending Friday nights with your best friends performing under the football field lights. High school can be many different experiences for different people, but most importantly, for me, it was learning essential values of life while shaping me into the person that I am today.
Throughout high school, I stayed very involved. I worked on staff at the wellness center of my school, I was a member of the varsity dance team, and I also participated in the National Honor Society where I served on the executive board. My days were long and exhausting, and at many times I wanted to give up, but with this, I gained motivation and will power to put behind all of my efforts. Before school, I worked three days a week supervising the weight room as teachers and community members came to workout. Sometimes when I was...show more content...
We prepared monthly meetings to gather all 200 participants into the cafeteria after school to talk to them about their academics as well as their service to our community. We then planned the service opportunities for the students to participate in such as going to read books to elementary students, packing potatoes at a local food pantry, or collecting soup cans outside the neighborhood grocery store. I enjoyed getting involved in my community and learning the value of service, which made me decide to do the same in college. I spent much of my first semester at Mizzou volunteering throughout Columbia by canning, working 5K walks and runs, and volunteering at the local Get
The aim of this essay is to critic and to develop the change in the NHS. The NHS (National Health Service) establish in 1948 is the public health funded system in United Kingdom which provide the most high care in UK resident. Since being created, there is a constant transformation into leadership and management. For example Griffith's report (1983) introduces general manager and central role for doctors. Cogwheel report establishes in 1967, is the first report introducing the role of clinician management and managing resource in NHS. Management was more bureaucratic that time, since then they have had several others reports about change in management based more into share management leadership by giving doctors, general practice and clinician a roles in managing of change Kings funds (2015).
The key driver of change in NHS has different factors, demography, new technology that rising consumer expectation and litigation, Even though NHS is one of the largest employers in the world they still shortage of staff, doctors and nurses NHS choices (2014). The rising cost of treatment potentially increase patient satisfaction and promotion of staff safety are invariably restraint poor action plan. That then has an impact of delivery care Gopee and Galloway (2014).
However Gopee and Galloway (2014) suggest that, the change can interact on the role manager or leader play. Change is important in NHS because it has be poor quality of care in the past. Victoria Climbie one the high

The National health services (NHS) provides a comprehensive healthcare services across the entire nation. It is considered to be UK's proudest institution, and is envied by many other countries because of its free of cost health delivery to its population. Nevertheless, it is often seen as a 'political football' as it affects all of us in some way and hence everyone carry an opinion about it (Cass, 2006). Factors such as government policies, funding, number of service users, taxation etc all make up small parts of this large complex organisation. Therefore, any imbalances within one sector can pose a substantial risk on the overall NHS (Wheeler & Grice, 2000).

However, a healthy lifestyle was seen to prevail among the rich population (Webster, 2002; Geoffrey, 2011). Later, findings from a series of reports including report from Royal commission on National Health Insurance in 1926; The Sankey Commission on Voluntary Hospitals in 1937; and reports from British Medical Association (BMA) in 1930 and 1938, all collectively indicated that inadequacy existed in the pattern of the services (Christopher, 2004; Webster, 2002). Evident were reports of conflicting care and duplication of work between the municipal and voluntary hospitals (Wheeler & Grice, 2000). Additionally, world war had a huge impact on the health services and the conditions in which hospitals, theatres, radiology and pathology department operated was very poor. Thus, no machinery existed that supported running of a coordinated healthcare system, hence a need for unified, simplified and cohesive system was felt (Smith, 2007). Furthermore, Royal Commission's report suggested that funding for the health services might benefit from general taxation rather than its basis on insurance principle (Christopher, 2004). However, it was not until the Beveridge report in 1942, which provided a huge drive and momentum for a movement of change in the health services. And within subsequent years seen were the proposals for NHS drawn through the White Paper in 1944, then in 1946 the National Health Service Act and at last in 1948 the establishment of the NHS

"We are all born originals– why is it so many of us die copies?" This quote by Edward Young is an anecdote I often ponder. More and more, I find myself trying to form to society ideals, and notice my unique personality being shoved under the rug, but each time I think about this phrase, I become my true self a little more. The National Honor Society is a program for not only exceptional students, but also extraordinary people. I, ZoГ«, am a unique individual and my inimitable assets are a perfect for this club full of opportunities to put these skills to use. I should be indicted into NHS because I have met all the requirements and possess qualities of characteristics which separate me from ordinary students. Although being a member of NHS isn't purely academic, my commitment to my grades should be noted. My freshman year I was part of the International Baccalaureate program, and succeeded in getting A's in both of my honors classes every semester. I am most definitely not a quitter, but after a trial year, I realized that IB was not the place for me because I had the desire to become more active in school, join the swim team, and focus on my job. Even though I did not continue with IB, this year I am taking three honors classes. As of this...show more content... This recently became evident to me when I joined the IB program and was assigned several group projects. Each occurrence, I felt the need to direct my peers, assign equal parts to each student, and I am guilty to admit that I felt uncomfortable when I was not able to take charge. Because I am so young I have not gotten much of a chance to be a leader, but each summer I volunteer two weeks to become a teacher at my church's vacation bible school. This year, I was the lead teacher of sixteen children between the ages of seven and eight. I not only got the chance to guide them in making crafts and singing songs, but also leading them to

NHS stands for National Health Service.NHS was launched by health secretary Aneurin Bevan(1897–1960) at Park hospital in Manchester on July 5 1948.It was created out of the longheld debate that good healthcare should be available to all,regardless of their wealth.Before the establishment of NHS,the provision of healthcare was very limited.The poor people did not have access to healthcare services as they couldn 't afford it and mostly people depended on religious practices to cure their diseases.Before NHS,one's health was determined by one's wealth as health services were very expensive.Since its launch in 1948, the NHS has grown to become the world's largest funded health service provided to all.The main objective of the NHS is to provide standard care to people.For that to happen, health professional should have certain qualities.Right values and attitude,key skills,knowledge and strong work ethic are the necessary requirements of a healthcare professional.Healthcare professionals can also use reflective practices for personal and professional development in their respective field.Reflective practice is a way of learning from your own personal experiences and then improve the way you work in your respective field.At the time of its foundation,NHS was based on three core principles; that it meets the needs of everyone,that it be free at the point of delivery and lastly it be based on clinical need,not ability to pay.These core principles have pathed the way for current

The description of this experience is nearly the same, but I would like to add that this is a private office that work closely with the patient to practice preventive dentistry through patient education. This office showed me that one on one counseling with the patient often results in a change of the patient's lifestyle to prevent recurrence of the oral health disorder such as cavity or gingivitis. Ultimately, this dental office taught me the importance of providing dental education to patients. AADSAS listed hours: 12. Total current hours: approximately 30 Get

I'm going to be aware of the minorities in my classroom to help them fit in and make friends because it is difficult to be singled out because you're different. I plan to teach my students about diversity by recognizing different holidays and exposing them to the celebrations. I will incorporate diversity into my teaching whenever possible by recognizing accomplishment of different racist. With my instructions I plan for students to be successful when taking my assessments. I will use different forms of assessment such as quizzes, text, projects, portfolios, ect. I favor short quizzes given more often. Because I want to teach in a hands on way I value projects as an assessment. By using projects according to Piaget children learn best when they are actually doing the work themselves and creating their own understanding of what's going on. Students learn best through hands on evolvement. An effective teacher will have her students actively engage in station, centers and projects. An effective teacher makes her students feel like they belong and are disciplined fairly. It is important to welcome the diversity of all students. It is important to assess students in an appropriate manner. This creates a positive learning environment for the students. I am a responsible, dependable, caring and energetic teacher who will be an asset to your school

It is an honor to have been selected as an eligible candidate for the National Honor Society. It would be a privilege to be a part of such an amazing group, and if I am accepted into this society I promise to uphold to its standards. I would like to be a part of NHS because I do not just excel academically. I have a excellent balance between school, extracurricular activities, and my social life. I believe that by keeping this balance I exemplify service, leadership, and character. My freshman year I was introduced to the Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. I wanted to be as involved as possible, especially since cancer has taken the lives of many family members and friends, so I became team captain for both my freshman and sophomore year and raised a total of about $5,000. This year I have taken the position of Survivor Chair Shadow so that I can take the position of Survivor Chair my senior year, and be even more involved. Just by taking part in this amazing fundraiser I am serving my community, building my character, and demonstrating strong leadership skills.

I first became involved with the sport when I was 9–years–old and will probably continue with the sport until I graduate. Being a part of this team has shaped me into the person I am today. I have become a role model for my younger teammates. I am someone who can motivate them to work their hardest and help them achieve their goals by guiding them. I have spent many hours, whether it be during practice or after, coaching these younger teammates, or girls trying out for my team, in order to help out my coaches and show these girls that if they ever need any help I will always be available. This has taught me to step up and be a leader, which is something 9–year–old me would have never
This reflective essay is based on the personal SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats) analysis, to examine my leadership potential. It will define leadership within context of the NHS leadership as well as highlight some of the current incidents relate to poor leadership. Additionally, it will briefly discuss some of the relevantleadership theories that can be applied to nursing practice whilst exploring my own leadership style. Lastly, this essay will reflect the scenario from practice to support my "strengths" and "weakness" whilst developing a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time–Bound) goal plan to address one of my weakness and then the conclusion will be drawn summarising the key points within the essay.
Leadership has been defined in a number of ways, but the concept is still indefinable (Barr and Dowding 2016). Buchanan and Huczynski (2010, p. 596) define leadership as "a process of influencing the activities of an organised group in its efforts towards goal–setting and goal achievement". In clinical practice, leadership translates to an ability to direct other to achieve evidence–based practice that supports enhanced patient outcomes (Kelly–Hiedenthal 2004). Like any other industries and organisations, an effective leadership skill is vital in the healthcare sector to improve the standards of the care and to achieve organisational goals (Bach and Ellis 2015). Sullivan and Decker (2004) stated that nurses often step up to the
Being a candidate for the NHS is an honor itself, this shows how much I have progressed towards my academic goals, and it also shows that my hard work is finally being taken into consideration. Thanks to the NHS if I am given the opportunity to become a member, my devoted time and effort into my grades as well as my character will be recognized and be taken into the next level of success. Joining the NHS is very significant for me because it will take me a step closer to my future career goals. I think I should be admitted to such a prestigious group of academic achievement, because I show characteristics that will make a great nominee for the NHS, such as. My GPA has remained no lower than a 3.97 throughout the entire year, I did research on the college I wish to assist and according to the college if I keep the same effort that I give now there is not a doubt that I could attend my dream college. By joining the NHS I will probably get a higher chance of attending that university and I can assure this because I recently completed a personal project named "The Dream Board", which is the career path I created ...show more content...
When I was working with a student he will have the right concept, but he will hesitate in which answer choice to pick. In order to help him overcome this I told him to not overthink it and to trust his guts. At first I thought this was a very basic way to approach the situation, but when the next test he approached me and told me how he took my advice and incorporated it whenever he was in doubt. I was later informed that he began helping other scholars in different ways, and many people were soon gaining confidence and it became very noticeable. This is the time were one simple concept/advice impacted various people in a beneficial
