It was just seven years ago that I was crossing over to becoming a Boy Scout with troop 930 in
Hicksville NY. My family ended up moving to Commack, and that is when I joined troop 125. f was
not only the new kid In the neighborhood, but also In the troop. A lot has changed since then. Boy
Scouts has taught me many useful things: I learned how to survive in the wilderness, make a fire,
pitch a tent, cook, and clean up. I learned how to "think on my feet", and lead my patrol. Boy Scouts
has not only made my life fun and exciting, it has also taught me to be an active member in my
community through community service. Through Boy Scouts, I was given the opportunity to serve
my community by doing things such as, assisting in the Methodist church clean up, marching in the
Memorial Day parade, and placing flags on the graves of veterans. These activities made me proud
to be a part of troop 125.
In addition, the time I have been with troop 125 has been very promising. I have done things that'
would have never done if I were not in Boy Scouts. I have gone rock climbing on a real iron mine:
slept over in a military base, rode my bike across long Island, and gone white water rafting on the
day of dam release. I have also traveled to places like Boston were I walked the Freedom Trail,
Washington D.C. where we sawall the important monuments, and recently to Philadelphia to see
where the Constitution was signed.
I am currently in Commack High School. I am involved in an after school program at Wilson
Technology. There, I am learning about graphic design and advertisement, which takes up most of
my time after school. Before joining Wilson Tech, I was active in the chess club, art club, and pay it
forward club. As well as, volunteering at Cohen's Children's Hospital where I dress up as
Spiderman, and pretend I am a super hero for the children with cancer. As far as my
accomplishments in school, I am currently in the International Bachelors program in Art, which I find
challenging and enjoyable. After graduating high school, r plan on going to a two-year college, and
then move over to a University of my choice. It is at this time I hope to get some direction in what I
would like to do as far as a career.
In my future, I hope to have a family where I can share my experiences obtained through my
Involvement with Boy Scouts. I enjoyed my time in Boy Scouts over the past seven years. I felt as if
every merit badge was a new lesson in life and a new experience for me. r enjoyed making new
friends and getting to know them. Serving my community gave me a sense of fulfillment. Happily, I
can also say that being in Boy Scouts has changed me for the better and has made me the person
that I am today.
