The Honors College at ECU should admit an exceptional students such as myself because I consider my education to be the paramount element for my success in the near future. Although I am a student athlete I never forsake my education for my sport, track, because I know that my sport will only take me as far as a scholarship to ECU but won't be of much help after that. As I consider my education above my sport, I tutor my team mates in math because that's what they have a hard time understanding. Not only do I tutor but my teammates and I also volunteer around the community by raking leaves and shoveling snow during the fall and winter which helps us out if they would like to support the team with a donation. I like to hold myself to a higher

Broad perspective is critical. Without it, opportunities and possibilities are greatly limited. The Honors College is not simply a place to gain perspective, but also a place to provide perspective to others. Interdisciplinary academics, leadership development, undergraduate research, and community & global experiences are the tenets of the Honors College. My experiences are closely aligned to these views; therefore, I feel I can contribute my own

Being a part of National Honor Society means that I am held at a higher standard than most students. I am to uphold the four pillars of National Honor Society, which are service, scholarship, leadership, and character. All four aspects of NHS have been important in my life and have shaped me into who I am today.

There are people who are working towards a better world, and making life safe for the children in need, the animals in danger, and the men fighting for our country. Seeing these changes happen has motivated me to want to be a part of these developments. I wish to serve those around me, and believe that if I can have a positive impact on my community, it can affect the rest of the world. Therefore, I have made it my goal to be a part of the National Honor Society, in hopes that I can help my school, Middleville, and all who have impacted me.

I truly believe that hold many of these traits and joining the National Honor Society will grant me the opportunity to expand on these traits and grow as a person.

Before I started my first semester of college I made sure that my academic and career goals were set to avoid indecisiveness. One of my intellectual objectives has always been to be a part of the honors college. Deep in my heart I know I have what it takes to be in an organization of students that excel with integrity. Furthermore, the benefits that come along with being a student within the honors college can assist me with getting through my scholastic agenda which includes internships, scholarships and honorary mentions.

The four pillars of the National Honor Society create a unique balance for any student that follows them. Personally, I excel in scholarship because I truly enjoy going to school and intend to go many more years in the future. My college interests involve the honors college at the university I am attending as well as a pre-medical path; therefore, my education, or scholarship will be a vital part of my college experience. In regards to the other three pillars of this Honor Society, service also adds balance to a student’s life. To serve others brings one a sense of integrity and an amazing feeling of generosity. Through the National Honor Society, I have learned many extraordinary ways that I can help my community whether it is something small

The National Honors Society believes in leadership, character, scholarship, and service. I believe that I can bring that to Manchester High School. The National Honors Society gives the opportunity students to participate in the community. Without the NHS, the community wouldn’t be able to run the way it does. The NHS not only helps the community, but it also helps the students with their academics. It encourages students to keep their grades up and stay up to date with school events. My sister was a part of the National Honors Society and has encouraged me to join as many clubs as I can. My history of community service includes mission trips, food drives, and other activities for Swift Creek Presbyterian Church. The two mission trips I’ve

Volunteering, in minor or significant ways, taught me that I could make an impact in the world and along the way build my character, experience the world, and develop better communication skills. I learned this at my local library, Fumo Family Branch. I aspire to become a part of the National Honors Society because I want to network with my peers and people outside of the Academy at Palumbo, improve my character and leadership skills, and give back to my community. I strongly believe that I am a great candidate because I possess the four pillars of the National Honors Society: scholarship, character, leadership, and service.

To become a member of the National Honor Society would be a great honor for me. The main reason why I would like to become one is because of my desire to serve the community and make a difference in people’s lives. Last year was the first time I regularly did community service, which was tutoring Kindergarten kids at McCulloch Elementary. I did not know what to expect: I thought I could volunteer at least once since they were looking for volunteers. I soon found out that I enjoyed it. I came back Monday after Monday, the sweetest moment being when one of the Kindergartners remembered my name and asked why I was not there last week. Joining NHS will also help me gain more leadership experience. I am naturally a more quiet student, so being in

The National Honors Society (NHS) is a group in which leadership, teamwork, and motivation skills are all developed, among a collection of other characteristics through various service projects. Granted these are the benefits listed on the website and not known to me through personal experience, I am certain that being apart of NHS would be beneficial to my life in preparing to enter the real, independent world and head off to college within the next few years. As a soft-spoken scholar, NHS would provide a way for me to familiarize myself in a collaborative and teamwork-filled setting that could better prepare me for jobs, as well as it would teach me to be a leader, and push me into the world to help and think about others rather than just

Born in California and raised in the deep south, I grew up in two conflicting societies. The cultural geography of both areas differs on a magnitude of levels and complicated my development into the cultures around me, however in retrospect influenced me to be a multidimensional and considerate person. At a young age my parents introduced me to progressive values. During the developmental toddler stages, I immersed myself in two different cultures: what I experienced at school and what I experienced at home. Charleston, South Carolina embodies small-town society though the Greater Charleston Area expands rapidly each year, pulling migrants, including my family, to the growing city. The overwhelmingly conservative views of Traditional Charleston

Joining the Honors College will develop my authenticity, not in the sense that I will be a more honest person, but rather, that I will know more about myself and have better reasoning behind my beliefs. The challenging course load that Honors Students face requires a deeper level of reflection. Students must not only know the material, but have a solid foundation behind it. This forces students to question their worldly views, resulting in a reformed person both socially and academically. Striving for a deeper understanding requires my views to constantly evolve.

Like every other person, there are places that I could use more help with. That is why I believe that I am capable of making it into the National Honors Society, because I don’t just see this program as a place for me to brag about my accomplishments. I see this program as a place to grow in all four pillars. Scholarship and service run hand in hand with one another because they both are involved in care. Learning how to care about one’s self and learning how to care about others is something that has to be balanced.

Hudson, the “perfect” bubble in Northeast Ohio, is seen as serene and flawless; when, in reality, it’s a breeding ground of bigotry. This bigotry is not as rampant and explicit as the protests and riots we see on TV, but it is slowly grown, like a tumor, noticed only by a careful eye. A debate in class taken place a few weeks ago shows this perfectly. As our class argues about government imposed hiring quotas, it became clear that the majority of the kids in the room wanted an all white workplace. They didn't speak poorly about minorities, they simply implied that they were lesser than the dominant race in Hudson, caucasian. This upset me. How can our nation move forward with so much hate fostered from a young age? I had to speak up. Knowing
