Please share how the Club has helped or challenged you to be the best person you can be. Provide one specific example. Be sure to highlight any significant leadership roles you?ve held at the Club, as well as other participation in Club programs, service initiatives, etc. My Club experience is unconventional and unique. It is ?lled with noise and constant movement, and tons of applesauce and apple juice. have had the opportunity to work with Kindergarten students in the Early Childhood Department at my Club for six years now. I think of myself as the caregiver of more than 20 children and refer to them as "my kids". Being the first male volunteer, and soon thereafter, employee in the Early Childhood department, allowed me to experience the Club in a different way. My Club provided me with newfound opportunities and an unparalleled support network. My Club experience began when I would go after school to pick up my little sister from Kinderkare at the Club. I would wait around for some time because my dad wasn't done with work to pick us up yet. would awkwardly stand toward the back of the classroom waiting. One day Ms. A.. my sister's Kinderkare teacher, asked me what I was doing just standing there. I'm not sure what I said. What I do know is that the next thing I was doing was reading Web to my soon-tc-be kids. Ms. A. allowed me to read books to the kids, explain worksheets and projects and prepare the daily snack. I didn?t go into the Club looking for a particular program for myself, but simply to pick up my sister. However, after seeing what the Club was offering the kids--social development, educational enrichment, emotional support and opportunities-4 knew that I wanted to be a part of the Boys Girls Club family. Through working with my Kindergartners, I became more patient and understanding. and learned to remain unbiased in resolving disputes over who gets the blue crayon ?rst. As teachers, we hope to be good role models for our students so that they can [earn from us: hovvever, it is what I [earned and continue to learn from them that is most important. One of my students, Isabella Perez (or as I like to call her, Isabella Banana), was the happiest little girl you ever could meet. Unless you were speci?cally told that Isabella was a "special needs" child, you wouldn't have been able to tell. Isabella Banana taught me that no one is de?ned by labels. encouraged her to make new friends and to try snacks she wouldn't normally eat. She, in turn, taught me not to allow myself to be de?ned by my labels. i know today that being an Afro-Caribbean young man is a gift, that my curly hair is a crown, and that my chocolate skin is beautiful. The biggest challenge that have faced at my club is how to relate with others. I have had to develop a keen sense of empathy to communicate with both parents and kids. While I was a Bank of America Student Leader Intern at the Club. I encountered a situation which, as Club staff, we hope never happens: I had a mother who was crying and furious because she thought her child had been wronged. What I failed to realize until I began communicating with her was that she did not know English. she only spoke Spanish. I immediately began speaking Spanish and reassured her that I was here and willing to help. I began translating what my coworkers were trying to communicate to her and she expressed her frustration at not being able to communicate due to the language barrier. After I explained what had happened with her son she began to better understand the situation. This interaction reminded me of my beginnings as 3 Dominican boy in the United States who was lucky enough to pick up English well in the first grade. I sympathized with the pain and frustration this mother felt and being unable to communicate. The Club offered my family the opportunity and social mobility. as well as the ability for me to pursue my dreams of higher education. My step-dad worked full time. while my mother could only hold a part-time job since she needed to take care of my sister and me. The after school program at the Club gave my mother the ability to work longer hours and work her way up to Assistant Manager at Marshall's. Thanks to her hard work and determination for me to have a better future. have been able to make my dream of pursuing a college degree a reality. This fall I will be attending Dartmouth College where I hope to make my family proud. both my parents and my Club family, who have supported me and believed in me. Club staff were always there for me when began to allow self-doubt to take hold. and they pushed me to continue doing great things. My experience at the Boys Girls Club helped me to understand that my kids at the Club are far more capable than many people believe them to be. I understand that they too, will struggle with believing that they are capabie. if I can get them to believe in me they will, in turn, believe in themselves. Exposure to big ideas and dreams from an early age will put them on a path to DREAM BIG. I cannot thank my Club enough for providing me with a network of people who always push me to dream big and to become the man I want to be. Essay 2: My Vision for America's Youth The National Youth of the Year is ambassador for America's young people. He/she represents the interests of millions of young people and elevates important youth issues by engaging with elected of?cials, corporations, the media, educators and the broader public. Please describe your vision for America's youth and which signi?cant challenge you would address as National Youth of the Year. Please describe this challenge in detail, as well as the experiences that helped you develop your perspective about it. In what ways can Clubs help other youth who are facing this challenge? Complete your essay by brie?y presenting one clear solution to address the challenge. Today's youth are often left out of conversations directly regarding them: speci?cally, conversations about their education. From the local level of Boards of Education. to state education committees. to the national level. today's youth are often left out of this important and life impacting conversation. Ayouth movement which is organized. mobilized, and determined to bring about positive change through civic engagement will be the youth movement I help bring to fruition. Civic engagement means willingness to serve your community in any area which you feel needs improvement. I consider myself civically active and engaged rather than politically active in the sense of advocating for one political party. The area in which I sought to serve was the public education that 11.000 students and in my school district receive. have dedicated my high school career to serving my community and improving the schools that we attend. The Clifton Student Union is completely student run. student led. and student oriented. The structure encourages leaders to emerge among our peers; discussions are lively and centered around the issues which they feel are most pertinent and the course of action they believe in. However. I did not found the Clifton Student Union without push back and resistance. The administration in my school was wary of having students get involved and take on a role which students had not taken in a long time. To solve the problem of students going out of district to receive vocational education. and taking with them direly needed funding, I researched how my school district could obtain such a program. I spent countless hours each night researching education laws and specific vocational programs. After producing a comprehensive report of my research, I presented it at an Education Committee meeting where I met with the Board of Education commissioners and the school administration. Their response was disappointing: they claimed that the proposed vocational program would take time. effort and money, and was therefore not a feasible endeavor. It felt as though my work had been done in vain. and lwas initially somewhat disheartened. However. instead of allowing this experience to demoralize me. I held by chin up high and continued to press for vocational education. As of today. the district has added classes for those pursuing nursing. criminal justice and culinary careers. Had I given up as my Board of Education and school administration did. we would not have the aforementioned courses. if I am to improve the public education that students in my district receive it will be an arduous battle, but i believe we are worth the effort. This experience has forti?ed my character and increased my determination to bring positive change to my public school system and community. As a result of this. I am more willing to speak out against injustices that I see which sometimes don't concern me directly. and my delegation skills have improved. This experience also taught me the importance of being active in our public school system; the importance of being civically engaged. To solve this challenge. I propose the launch of civics classes which introduce students to the issues pertinent in their communities. It is common practice to expect each individual to understand how government works and how one can affect it. This is often not the case. especially among our youth. A civics class would teach young people how to approach lawmakers with prepared solutions that address an issue. Our youth will be better informed and knowledgeable. Making our youth aware that they can positively in?uence their communities, by becoming organized and being determined to bring about improvement, is progress on its own. Essay 3: My Personal Brand In the 21st century, each of us has a brand, just like a company or a product. We stand for something in the minds and hearts of our friends, teachers. mentors, family members and associates. As the National Youth of the Year, your personal brand will become co- mingled with Boys Girls Clubs of America?s brand. Which qualities de?ne your personal brand? Which three adjectives describe your personal brand, and why? What do you stand for in the hearts and minds of those who know you? What are your goals and purpose in life? How would being the National Youth of the Year help you build your personal brand? I break barriers. Young men from my background are not meant to be leaders who are a positive in?uence on their communities. Young men like me are not meant to be activists and scholars. yet this young man is. not only break barriers. shatter them. As a child in the Dominican Republic i woke up at six o'clock every morning. Before i could focus on school. I needed to worry whether or not I could shower. If the electricity was running. I showered by using our water tank. In the Dominican Republic, the electricity and water-?even if you pay for it every month--doesn't run continuously, as it does in the United States. After I got dressed, my mother had me practice my multiplication tables because she wanted me to be the best in my class. I was pushed hard because no one in my family had gone to college; few ever ?nished high school. I worried about things that most people don't worry about, and that children shouldn't have to worry about. Today I am strong because. as a child, I had to be strong. My family is determined for me to be the first person in our family with an education. Today, I can proudly say that witl be attending Dartmouth College and am on track to break that barrier. I do not allow myself to be limited by the barriers placed before me, whether they be by society or by individuals. I am determined, empowered, and persevering regardless of what I face. From a young age I felt that I needed to be silent, as though I didn?t have a voice. I have found my voice. It is loud and powerful, resonant and full of echoes. now use my voice to break barriers for others. This past summer I participated in a leadership summit in Washington, 13.0., through the Bank of America Student Leaders program. During one of our seminars. after listening to a civil rights leader, I turned to my friend. Onyi, and told her I wanted to put on a demonstration. lwas able to convince the other 219 Bank of America Student Leaders to join us on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to recite Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Have a Dream" speech, along with an empowerment chant that we had learned. I stood close to where Dr. King had stood and bellowed for all the world to hear: AM THE VOICE LEAD. NOT FOLLOW I WILL CREATE, NOT DESTROY I AM A LEADER I AM A FORCE FOR GOOD I AM A FORCE FOR PEACE DEFY THE ODDS SET A NEW STANDARD STEP After i proclaimed each line, 219 Leaders repeated the line after me. I felt liberated and powerful. I heard myself for the first time, appropriately, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I will not be silenced; i will continue to use my voice as a force for good and for peace. My philosophy. then and especially now, is that leadership means service. That experience at the Lincoln Memorial deepened my phiiosophy. I am an active member of my community, helping to form a student union and now serving as the student representative on the Clifton Board of Education. Constantly appearing before my local school board, i ?ght to obtain a better public education for our students. My desire is to lead by serving others will continue to be the hallmark of my character. My goal in life is to be remembered as a man who was a global force for good, a man who lifted others with him and encouraged them to rise beyond their self-imposed boundaries to reach new heights. My calling and purpose in life is to lead by serving others. i de?ne a leader as someone who is willing to place him or hersetf at the service of others rather than someone who dictates what to do. Such leaders guide others to become leaders. serving their communities and peers. Together, we break barriers. Together, we form the group of people who will serve our country and the world when the time comes. Representation is incredibly important. I have gone out into the World to do as much as I possibly can so that my kids--the kindergarten students in Kinderkare--can see themselves doing what i do. I broke these barriers which people placed before me. i serve as an example to my kids that, as long as we dream big, we can do anything. I want my kids to see what I have done and feel empowered to do great things-~far greater things than I have ever done. There is no greater feeling than having one of my kids proudly come up to me and say. "Mr. Carlos! Guess what I did?" If they see that someone like themselves, who overcame similar obstacles, who broke barriers. can be Youth of the Year. they too will envision themselves where I stand.

Carlos Polanco Boys and Girls Club Scholarship March 13, 2016 ?Mr. Carlos, can you tie my shoes?? I have been asked this question hundreds if not at least a thousand times. The little people who ask me this question who I think of as my kids, are the Kindergarten students in KinderKare. I believe that one question describes what the Club means to me, it means trust, reliance, attention, and love. I have had the amazing opportunity to work with Kindergarteners who are usually ?ve,or just about to turn live. Birthday?s were always a special day in KinderKare, especially Group Two, the group that Iworked in. Whenever it was someone?s birthday, at least for that day they could feel like the prince or princess that they always are. All of the class paid attention to their classmate and joined in singing Happy Birthday, with a ?cha cha chat? between every phrase. Afterwards we Would all have a snack before going outside to play. But right before we would go outside to play,at least two of my kids would come could tie their shoes. They would prop their shoe on my bent leg as I bent over to tie the shoelaees while singing the Spongebob shoe tying song. I never gave much thought to what was necessary to ask someone something so simple as ?Can you tie my shoes?? But in order for my students to be able to approach me, they had to trust me enough so that they wouldn?t feel like a bother, or embarrassed. My students needed to be able to feel like they could rely on me whenever they needed help. And they could, because I made sure that I was available to them at all times whetherI was busy cutting out projects, or simply watching over them. I had to be able to earn my students? trust, andI in turn earn theirs. That simple action taught me the attention that someone requires from you to be willing to ask you a question. I needed to make myself seem as a reliable person whom they could trust would always be there for them. A simple question which taught me far more than I did by teaching them how to eventually be able to tie their own shoes. I The Club has taught me how to become more responsible, understanding and patient. When working with twenty kindergarteners patience is a much needed quality. Through volunteering and working in KinderKare I have bene?ted tremendously. What the Club means to me is being a part of a community, it means all of the great kids that I have been able to work with. It stands for the three Izabella?s I had one year, for the mischievous Arthur, the very quiet Samantha, and James who would never sit down. A multitude of memories that have helped me grow, which sometimes left me going home with a fuzzy headache, but made me want to come right back the next day. It was my job to teach the kids, but in the end it was the kids who taught me. They reminded me of what it feels like to do something just for fun, of laughing for-no reason, and being with your ?iends because you can?t imagine them not being there. In essence, they reminded me what it was like before becoming an adolescent. The Boys and Girls Club was a momentary escape from becoming an adolescent to feeling like a kid again. College is an extremely ?ightening idea, the process of applying and waiting for perhaps months to ?nd out if you got accepted to your dream school. But the worrying doesn?t end there, once accepted one must talk with their parents to see which college they can afford to attend due to the amount of aid that was given to them if any. While my parents are hard working people and are able to give me and my sister a good life, I don?t want them to have to worry about not being able to send me to the college. I don?t want to make them feel as if they didn?t do enough to give me the best opportunity. It would be a tremendous honor and help if I were to win this scholarship, which will go to defray the cost of my college tuition. I hope to use my degree to come back to Clifton, and give back to the community which has given me so many Opportunities. Thank you for your consideration.
