English Honor Society

National Honor Society describes the person I aspire to be. A person with character, leadership skills, and an honest person. I would love to be a part of a club that brings out the best within me. I do believe I have some of the qualities that are appropriate and needed to be in this club. I've always tried to help the people in my community and also around me whenever help is needed. I think that I would be able to help out others, just like the people who are in National Honor Society. I would like to be a member of the Lenoir City High School National Honor Society because I like what the club means and its purpose. Doing different projects and being able to help people would be really amazing. I would like to do things for others without

I, Sara Samir, am interested in joining National English Honor Society (NEHS). Throughout my years at Calhoun, I have grown as student thanks to the wonderful English staff here. They have all helped me excel in several areas of English. With my accomplishments and grades in English throughout high school, and after completing a few more of the requirements, I feel that I am eligible to be considered to be part of NEHS.

I believe I would make a great candidate for the National English Honors Society because I share the beliefs of the mission statement in multiple ways. I have always loved literature and will remain interested in it. I believe in building a community of academic achievers as well as trying my best to be one. I try to excel in all that I do by maintaining high grades and also being part of the community outside of school. English has always been one of my favorite subjects and I am looking forward to sharing my love for English with others.

Acceptance into the National Honor Society of Petrides would be a great honor for me. The National Honor Society in Petrides will allow me to connect with likeminded people in the school who have portrayed similar scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship as I have. I have shown my leadership qualities through school events and volunteer work. Service to the school is one of biggest focus of the National Honor Society which I have always been content to participate in. The three amazing years at Petrides, I have served the school by aiding and tutoring students that have needed help academically; while participating in school events and teams showing school pride.

In order to maintain a membership in the National Honor Society, each individual must follow these principles and guidelines provided by the Belgrade High School National Honor Society. Consequently, in not doing so you will be removed from NHS.

NHS serves those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. NHS is a great opportunity for students to serve the community. I have plans to improve MHS National Honor Society and make it even better. To make NHS better I would make sure that students get to know everyone and not just stay with their friends, I would make sure that the service projects are helpful to the community, and I would make sure that the activities interest the students into coming.

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.

The National English Honor Society would let me interact with a diverse group of students. Joining the Society would give me a chance to take trips to colleges and other places to learn new things. If accepted to the Society I would dedicate my time to it and not be distracted by anything that will take away from my education. Writing has always inspired me which is a big part of English it is a good way to express yourself it is the way I express myself. Joining the English Honor Society would all around help me stay in track with my education.

Along with having a passion for reading and writing I also have a passion for singing and the theatre. I believe that the choir

Though the increase of technology has increased and the need for grammar has decreased significantly, the schools everywhere should still be teaching a curriculum on grammar because it helps students and adults when they acquire a job.

Ever wonder how good grammar can lead to success? Think about it like this, say you just sent an essay to the college of your dreams, and you’ve worked on that essay for weeks fixing it, making sure the grammar is perfect. Finally the letter you been waiting for is here, and you’re so nervous and scared to see what it says. Once you open it you see that you’ve gotten accepted, and they’re amazed with the grammar used in your essay, and that they’ll love having someone with that good of a grammar at their college. Good grammar doesn’t only lead to good success, but great opportunities in life which is better for our future.

As a double major in English literature and Philosophy, I not only have a passion for these fields, but learning in general. I pride myself in being versatile and open to trying and learning new things. I consider myself to be goal orientated and find satisfaction completing tasks that involve a finished product.

I love reading!! Series are some of my favorite thing to read , specifically the Percy Jackson and Selection series. Overall my favorite genre is historical fiction, but dystopian comes in a clos second. I am a very fast reader. I can sometime get through an entire book in one sitting, especially if I like the book. In sixth and seventh grade I was in Reading Olympics for the school. Personally I love to get lost in time and read about things that happened so long ago or is just something we hear about in history books, but I also enjoy to read about what could be and what might be.

To begin with, grammar should be taught in the school's curriculum because it creates good credibility. For example, when posting on the internet "your words are all you have. They are a projection of you in your physical absence"(Wiens). Therefore, if your grammar prohibits a reader from understanding the context of your post or article, they will not find it to be a credible or trustworthy source. Also, grammar creates good credibility because it shows that one is trustworthy. Kyle Wiens has found that people with good grammar are more reliable: "I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing — like stocking shelves or labeling parts"(Wiens). Although it is clear that grammar creates good credibility, others may disagree. John A. Challenger, chief executive
