AAAS Scholarship

I have a family of five, two brothers and two parents. My dad works for Ricoh, a company that sells printers, copiers and software. He grew up in a Greek household in northern Chicago. My mom started her own interior design business a few years ago and works for herself. She grew up on a farm in eastern Indiana in the small town of Fort Wayne. My brother Nick is enrolled at University of Iowa and will graduate with a finance major in May. My other brother Drew is a sophomore at University of Illinois and plans to major in finance or accounting. Then there is Matt, the fidgety man who tinkers with electronics, enjoys woodworking and creates better alternatives for random things (toys, RC cars, furniture, etc.). I plan to pursue engineering at University of Illinois, University of Iowa or University of Iowa State because of my love for problem solving and working with others. Golf will forever be apart of my life and so will my passion for pond hockey (as long as my body lets me). I may be quiet and shy when I first meet you but I’m a totally new person around my friends and very outgoing. I’m determined to work hard and make a change in the world someday. I hope to create a lasting legacy on this Earth.

Being inducted into National Honors Society requires a student to demonstrate all of the four qualities many of our role models in the present and in the past have possessed, which include: scholarship, service, leadership and character.

Service is simply an act of helpful activity and the transferable skills that are gained from service illustrate the importance of being involved. By volunteering in my community and taking part in organizations that are centered on service, I am able to strengthen my understanding of my surroundings, and I am taught more compassion for others. Being involved presents unlimited opportunities to give back to others, and with the skills instilled by service, I am able to make a difference in the lives around me. Experience gained with service creates characteristics in a person that can shape the direction of my life, and I will value that in the future.

“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves.

Interwoven into my life, effectively making myself who I am today, are a series of uncountable elements and details, among which, and perhaps most importantly, include the four pillars of the National Honor Society: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Each of these characteristics of a member of the NHS are ones that I proudly exhibit each day of my life and hope to continue to uphold for as long as I may live. Scholarship, the commitment to learning that one shows at school and in life, is one that can only be achieved by spending the necessary time in the expedition for knowledge and understanding in the world, which only can be attained by commitment, dedication, and exertion in the completion of work that is always to the best of one’s ability.

The Anna Dale Dalton Competitive Scholarship Award on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated would invigorate my determination to change the community around me. I always strive to serve my community in four tiers. The first tier, Scott County High School, is the most immediate to me. In the past year I have established a library of resources solely dedicated to Advanced Placement, SAT, and ACT review materials that any student has access to. I have done this because Scott County High School has the largest Advanced Placement Program in the state of Kentucky, one that I have helped nurture for the past three years through my position as President of Advanced Placement Advisory Council.

As upcoming high school seniors, many such as myself, desire scholarships in order to alleviate the financial burden that attending a university can bring. Though this considerable and generous scholarship prize money will be used to further my education at Texas A&M University, my main wish is to bring pride and satisfaction to my family. As a first generation student, I am humbled by the opportunity of obtaining an education in America.

After first becoming a member of four honor societies, I was reluctant to believe that community service and volunteering was “rewarding” and “inspiring”, as the honor society veterans claimed. It was my conviction that volunteering with these honor societies was time-consuming and obligatory. But after several years of participation in these societies, I learned that such endeavors are anything but the two; community service and volunteering has not only been a reminiscent and nostalgic experience for me but has played a pivotal role in my decision to study under a field of engineering in college. My participation in the Science National Honor Society, in particular, has had the most profound impact on me as an aspiring engineer and a once

In finding happiness at work, there is a large but limited set of values or factors; the key is determining how much of each value is needed. The individual is the only one who can make the determination of how much of each value is needed. What makes one person happy at work is not the same combination for the next guy. One guy may value a big salary to be happy while another could be just as happy with a little less pay and a little more involvement. The right mix of variables is personal because priorities need to be set. Rare is the job that provides all the values that you need in the exactly right proportions. Because of the rarity of the perfect job, we need to decide on what values we could be content with upholding.
