Acceptance Into The National Honor Society

Many only see the National Honor Society as an organization that will look excellent on college applications, and although that may be true, the National Honor Society is not an organization that can be taken so lightly. The National Honor Society is so much more than a scholarship-granting organization, the NHS is an organization that helps develop the requisite for render service and the development of leadership and character. The growth and success of the NHS relies on not only its members, but also those outside of the organization. Its members can only do so much on their own. Part of building character and leadership is to encourage and rely on others whom are capable of helping. The members of NHS shouldn’t let their pride and achievements

National Honor Society truly is a honor to be accepted into. National Honor Society represents scholarship, leadership, service, and character. I believe since I was young I have shown compassion and leadership needed in our society. That is why this is the right society for me.

Although I have only been in National Honors Society since last spring, I believe I have nevertheless demonstrated the kind of commitment to the community that NHS members exemplify. Throughout high school, I have been involved in many school-related and independent charitable activities. I have participated for the past three years in the annual Feed My Starving Children food packing event at the high school, one year staying late to seal the 300,000th meal so we could reach our goal. I have volunteered for Osceola Public Library on numerous occasions, and I have also volunteered for the Books for Africa and Operation Christmas charities.

"Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike." Theodore Roosevelt. Students should demonstrate scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character because of three reasons. One, if students demonstrate these qualities they are more likely to get better grades and get reprimanded less. Another, without these traits, a student would have far less opportunities in the future. Finally, as students grow they will gain much more wisdom if they allow themselves to work on demonstrating these characteristics. Overall, these qualities are very important in the present, and in the future.

We are proud to inform you that you have been identified as being academically eligible for consideration for membership to the National Honor Society. Eligibility is determined by your cumulative grade point average, which must meet or exceed our chapter’s standard for scholarship -currently a cumulative GPA of 3.0, as well as a minimum of 30 service hours. You have met these criteria and can be proud of this personal achievement. This is the first step in the selection process.

Some of the reasons I believe I should be selected for induction into the National Honor Society are, I am a hard and experienced worker, I am a very open minded and accepting person, and I have a lot of motivation to do well in whatever I put my mind to. Many of these traits I possess, I believe, allow me to react to situations in positive ways. To start, I am a hard and experienced worker, over the past few years I have volunteering in the Downtown Los Angeles area and rural parts of Jamaica. In both of these places I have assisted people who are unable to obtain proper medical care or improper or subpar sheltering. I have gone to schools and helped hand out toiletries and school supplies to kids who are not fortunate enough to have these

I feel very distinguished to be among the exemplary students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. I strongly believe that this society does many great things in the society by helping many people and I hope that I can play an important role in improving the impression it has created.I would be excited to join such a society because of the limitless opportunities it would present to me and allow to me to grow as a reputable person and do as much as I can for the greater good.

As a second year National Honor Society student, the last couple of years I have been more focused on ways I can help my community to help get all my service hours in for the end of my high school NHS career. I’ve always loved doing little things to help someone who needs it but I never thought about the things that I do everyday count just as much as the other things. Community service to me, is more than just holding the door open for someone, picking up trash, or helping someone with their groceries. I want to help people grow and be a better person while serving my community. I want to do more than volunteer, I want to impact the lives of people and I feel that is what I have done.

I have many great qualities: Some of these qualities are leadership, service, scholarship, and character. As a member of FCCLA I have been able to expand these skills and characteristics to be able to help the community. Having these qualities has allowed me to help give a hand when I am able to and when it is needed. Although I already have these four characteristics, being a member of the National Honor Society would allow me to expand these qualities. Becoming a member would allow me to be more prepared for college and my future.

In order to be accepted into the prestigious organization known as National Honor Society, four main requirements must be met. These requirements are scholarship, service, character, and leadership. Throughout this essay I will strive to show that I hold all of the previously stated qualities to a great measure. I believe that during my three years at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School I have properly exhibited and expanded these qualities to their fullest potential therefore qualifying me for the position as a member of the National Honor Society.

The National Honor Society has very specific goals they would like to achieve. These include creating excitement for academia, stimulating a desire for citizen service, building leadership skills, and developing character in students. These goals seem overwhelming at first, but upon deeper thought I discovered I possess many traits to help achieve these goals.

The two defining moments in my scholarly life that define what my character consists of are the months as a coach for the U-9 R.I.S.C. Takers Soccer team as well as my trip to the village of Cuajiniquil, Costa Rica with the National Geographic summer community service program. Both of these instances have taught me valuable life lessons, including my responsibility as a role model for young children, the importance of giving back to our community, and the acceptance of other cultures, practices, and behaviors. This is what make me who I am and a very qualified candidate for the title of National Honor Society Member.

I would like to be a member of the National Honor Society because throughout my high school career, I have strived to be a conscientious student, and achieve as much as possible academically. Since my freshman year, I have raised my grade point average to a 96% and joined five clubs. I received the United States Achievement Academy Award for my academic achievement, and I have been appointed co-captain of the fencing team. I plan to continue to improve academically, and in the extra curricular activities I participate in.

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.

There are many academic goals I want to achieve at Loveless Academic Magnet Program. First, I want to be inducted to National Honor Society since I was in National Elementary and Junior Honor Society. I wish to make a 32 or higher on my ACT. In addition, I would like to receive a four year scholarship to Auburn University. I also plan on making the volleyball and cheer teams.
