Academic Achievements : The American College Testing Exam

National Honors Society has demonstrated how impactful it is to help out at school and in the community. While doing my community service in various events throughout my junior and senior year, I’ve become aware that National Honors Society has impacted me and the community. I recognized that volunteers positively influence the community. During events volunteers play a major role in community events. Without the help of volunteers many events wouldn’t be possible. I’ve volunteered in events from NHS and also other events in my community, learning that it feels great being part of many events and into making them a good experience for the people involved. National Honors Society has impacted me into knowing the major difference that volunteers

Furthermore, I have also done quite a few acts of service to my town and school even though I realize that it is not necessary for me to do so, I believe that by serving others without a reward is the best way to become a better person and leader. As a matter a fact I am a member of Frisco’s Teens4Green and have volunteered to play “Rufus the Recycling Dog” at local elementary schools, which was a very enjoyable and rewarding experience. In addition, with my early release periods, rather than go home early most days, I choose to go assist some teachers if needed. By assisting them I can learn more about following in one’s footsteps to achieve a certain goal and how to aid another in a time of need. Since then, I knew that I had to serve my school in different ways rather than just teachers. I wanted to demonstrate to my class that I could be a worthy asset, and that I was there for them in wanting to make our senior year extravagant, yet

I am truly dedicated to my school work and put a great deal of effort into all my classes and organizations. I keep my grades to A's and B's while I strive for A honor roll. My goal is to do the accomplish the most outstanding work I can achieve. With all my hard work I earned the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award from the President's Education Awards Program.

I have taken an active role in many clubs and various activities during my high school career. I have donated most of my time, however, to the B+ club, as a leader sophomore and junior year and co-president senior year. B+ is an organization that raises funds for families battling pediatric cancer and for cancer research. The main event for our B+ club is the annual student-run volleyball tournament during the winter; it’s such a fun night filled with friendly rivalries on the court while thousands of dollars are raised for the organization. During my sophomore year, I helped implement a new “care package” program, which I have led and we have continued ever since. We fill the “care packages” with games, candy, blankets, and more, and given

Over the past two years (2014-2016) I have participated in the National Junior Honors Society. As a member, I commit to completing community service and to learning among my peers in order to develop into a superior leader. I have taken part in activities such as fundraisers, team building activities, and several forms of community services such as working in a soup kitchen, daycares and organizing social events. Recently, I volunteered for a week as a vendor at a temple in Tacoma, raising money for the establishment during the Cambodian New Year festival.

Being selected as a member of Grove School’s National Honor Society would be a great honor for me because I hope to achieve my goal of exhibiting my dedication to academics, community service and extra circulars. I strive to be a role model and a resource for my peers by guiding them in the right direction. I think I could be a valuable addition to NHS because I have a strong work ethic, have a passion for helping people and not only meet but exceed all the qualifications of leadership, character, service and scholarship.

As I mentioned before during my high school Junior and Senior years I was a member of the National Honors Society, in order to be invited certain requirements had to be meet by a student. Requirements such as a certain GPA, 3 teacher recommendation, essays and community involvement etc. luckily I meant those requirements and I was inducted into the Society. During my time with the Society I had the opportunity to be involved with many activities around the school and outside as well. One of our first activities at the Greensboro Interactive Resource Center where we helped out by painting benches, organize donated clothes and heling out with the outside garden. We also sold Krispy Kreme Doughnuts around the school for a fund raiser, volunteered

My grades are extremely important to me. I have maintained A's and B’s throughout my first two years of high school. I challenge myself with the classes I take and I am able to do extremely well in them . Along with my school-work, I see the importance of being active in the community. I believe that service is important to be involved in. I enjoy helping others, knowing that there will be no compensation

I am genuinely honored to be one of the few students considered for acceptance to the State College Area High School chapter of the National Honor Society. I feel that my hard work and dedication in academics is beginning to show through. Throughout my life, I have shown drive and devotion for everything in which I have been involved, ranging from athletics to academics. My mentality has always been focused on helping others. For this reason, I aspire to become an orthopedic surgeon so that my career will evolve around helping others to get the most out of their lives. My summer will be spent volunteering at Phoenix Rehab for fourteen hours each week as it will allow me to begin providing care to the community. Currently holding an unweighted

Ever since my elementary years, I have taken my education and the work I do seriously. My dedication to the qualities of scholarship, character, leadership, and service have helped me during my high school experience as high school was a eye-opener for a young girl with big dreams. A quote that is to mind when I think about what dedication to scholarship and character means to me is one by St. Jerome; “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.” I have always gone past the point that is the best I can do in my academics accomplishments, building my character, being a leader, and helping others. I take pride in the fact that I work hard, push myself, and excel

Education and learning has been something that has fascinated me from an early age. This fascination has encouraged me to strive for the best. Throughout high school, I have managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA while participating in extracurricular activities and organizations such as Lewisville High School’s JV Dance/Drill Team, Varsity Theatre, Speech/Debate, National Honor Society, and Student Council. Along with my school involvement I have been working part-time at Chick Fil A for two years.

My grades are my top priority at school, along with my involvement with my peers and my character. I try the fullest of my ability to be the best person I can be for myself and the people around me. I consider myself to be a very honorable character at Lampasas High School, I am a student athletic trainer, I am a member of Key Club, I am in student council, Gear Up’s Youth Congress, and I am in our local spirit club XFX. I am incredibly grateful to be able to represent our wonderful high school to our community through these activities.

Have an essay due in two days that you haven’t looked at yet? Do you have a test next period for which you have not studied for? Never fear your inner bullster is here. Let’s define the act of bulling as “presenting evidence of an understanding of form in the hope that the reader may be deceived into supposing a familiarity with the content”. Simply put bull is pretending to know what you are talking about. Although some may reject the idea of bull, in reality it is becoming a crucial part of our education. In fact, bull may not be all that immoral as some might say. In the article Examanship and the Liberal Arts written by William G. Perry the issue of bull and it connection to knowledge is discussed. Perry, a professor at Harvard University, explains his concern {about how knowledge is graded.}

To become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, one must complete community service in order to give back to the community. When I was twelve years old, I chose an organization that I found interesting and that I wanted to spread awareness for, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.. I felt a personal connection to this organization, and for my Bat Mitzvah project, I created and sold necklaces, where all the proceeds went to the museum. This project inspired me and helped me mature from a girl, to a woman. Ever since my Bat Mitzvah project, I have been making these necklaces in my spare time. Over the years, I donated thousands of dollars and countless hours of my time to help this important cause. If all students are required to choose

My personal quest for knowledge has been ongoing since the first day I picked up a science book. I have never been more interested in any subject. It truly spoke to me. At a college level, there is a magnitude of opportunities. I had the opportunity to participate in the Student Dissector program on campus in the Spring of 2015, I visited the Stanford Cadaver Lab with Biology Club this semester, and I traveled to see a talk by the world renowned American astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson.
