Essay On National Honor Society

I think that if you were to ask my close friends or family, they would say that I am a natural leader and hardworking. As the captain of my lacrosse team, I am a leader on the field. In this position even though I strive to be the best I can, I find it more rewarding to watch my team succeed and improve above myself. I’m very passionate about motivating my team mates to be better and not just bossing them around. You can also find me as a leader of the Student Council at my school. Here I have been in charge of and organized countless events like the CB East’s annual Homecoming. This example also goes to show how hard working I am. I take these school events very seriously and I want every student to have a great time; I stay after school for

Throughout my high school career, I have come to be heavily involved in activities within my high school. I was inducted into National Honor Society in the school year of 2015-2016. I came to be involved in the Drama Club for all four years of my high school career, along with being in Student Council all four years as well. In Student Council, I held the position of treasurer my senior year, and was on the executive board. The music department also has been one of the biggest programs I have come to be involved in within my high school career. I have played alto saxophone in concert band all four years of high school, and played alto saxophone my senior year in jazz band. Along with being in both concert band and jazz band, I was also part

As NHS co-president, I would work with our class in setting a high standard for what it means to be in the National Honor Society. It's no secret we are the overachieving class, and by holding all future classes to the same standard we hold ourselves, we can create a prestigious atmosphere. I have held multiple similar and more demanding leadership roles through scouting. Therefore, I feel that I am very qualified to hold this role. With or without me as your co-president, let us be the class that puts the "honor" in "National Honor

Every day I wake up and drive through the beautiful town that I live in and I realize how much my community has helped me grow. I joined National Honor Society because I wanted to give back to my community and I wanted to prove how thankful I truly am. When I started my junior year of high school, there was a shooting at a local community college and my neighbor, friend, and teammate, was tragically killed in the shooting. The day after the shooting I promptly decided to donate blood to help the survivors, and ever since then I have been a part of every American Red Cross Blood Drive that South Umpqua has hosted. The shooting affected me so much, and it still does, and I realized that is when I wanted to help those in need; I wanted to donate

I am honored to be a candidate for the National Junior Honor Society. This organization means a lot to me. In elementary school, I hadn’t really put much effort into my work because I didn’t know that it would make such a difference in my life. However, in the fourth grade, I realized that what I did would make an impact on the rest of my education. If I didn’t do well then, I wouldn’t make it into honor classes or AP classes, meaning I couldn’t get the higher education I desired. I then began to work harder and my determination increased. My hard work paid off because during my sixth grade graduation, I was one of two students that received the gold for the President’s Education Awards Program (PEAP). Knowing that all the effort was

National Honor Society is an organization that I am proud to a part of because it teaches the member to be a quick-thinker, intelligent, kind, responsible and considerate of others. It lets you reach out to foster children, the homeless, seriously ill, senior adults and those who are malnourished from lack of proper food and clean water. In National Honor Society, you can meet new friends and learn more about what it takes to be part of a team. As a member of this distinguished organization, I donated toys to the sick children at Children’s Hospital, participated in fundraisers like the selling of fancy mugs and cookie dough, helped clean and set up the Induction Ceremony of 2016, cleaned up after the Safe Trick or treat night in 2015, and

Freshman year of high school was a scary, but an exciting time. Going into a new building with new teachers and three other grades is terrifying. But this story is going to talk about my most memorable moment: getting my letter and being accepted into Freshmen Academy Honor Society. Winter of early 2014, i got my letter in the mail about being eligible to apply to be in Freshman Academy Honor Society. Which shocked me, but it also made be happy. It showed me that I’m capable of a 3.0 GPA or even higher.

I am happy to write on behalf of Gabriela Queiroz Miranda to show my support of her National Honor Society application. Gabriela left a lasting impression on me in the three weeks I got to work with her through Notre Dame’s summer leadership program (iLED). She was a leader throughout the whole program and exemplified qualities a leader must have. Gabriela displayed qualities a leader should have: commitment, focus, a positive attitude, confidence, accountability, and approachable. As a former NHS member, I recommend Gabriela for the society as she excels both inside and outside of the classroom.

In sixth or seventh grade, my class took a quiz to discover what kind of “smart” we were. Some people were number smart, while others were book smart, word smart or street smart. I do not recall the exact purpose for taking this quiz, but I remember being not at all surprised when I scored significantly lower in social skills categories than other sections. One kind of intelligence may not be more or less important than another, but I think I can safely say that it is essential to be somewhat proficient in all categories to move forward in life.

Throughout the duration of my life, roles of leadership have influenced my stance towards my major, most notably my role in the Girl Scouts of America. Committing to Girl Scouts for thirteen years has given me ample opportunities to positively impact others. It has also given me real world scenarios in which I had the chance to resolve disputes, interact with diverse people, and contribute to several projects that bettered my community. I take pride in my time with the Scouts, as it not only benefitted me by personally transforming me into a young professional with a strong work ethic and morals, but it allowed me to help others and work on understanding the world around me. My most significant and rewarding project involved conducting research

In order to enhance my community’s quality of life, I have organized and participated in multiple service projects. Last year, I organized an event where a small group of friends and I made Christmas goodie bags for children in the area. This year, I am organizing a leadership project to donate school supplies for students in need within my school district. I will host several fundraising events in order to have enough money to purchase school supplies. I know what it’s like to not have enough school supplies to be prepared, so I want to ensure that no student has to experience that. Aside from these personal planned events, I have volunteered at multiple park clean-ups, homeless feeds, food-drives, donation events, and local festivals. I have

While I was in high school, I was also a part of Porterville United. Porterville United is one of the local club soccer, traveling teams. We are considered elite soccer, we played at the top bracket for our age, and the players take the game to another level. My time on this team helped me become a leader and genuinely helped my communication with others. I am now able to step up to any situation and put in my full effort, because I am used to stepping in where I am needed. This soccer team helped me comprehend sport situations well, which helped me be able to play softball and volleyball, and I was capable of being captain of these teams. Not only did it help me excel in sports, but it made me want to become a part of student leadership to

This has encouraged me to take leadership roles within my school, because Relay has taught me that even small acts can make a significant difference. I am a member of an anonymous Random Acts of Kindness Club at my school, which reinforces the idea of small acts brightening people’s day, and helping form a strong community among my peers and adults in school. I was also elected Grad Council President this year, and my role as chair on the Youth Committee prepared me for this position. I am able to take skills I have learned about managing meetings, being comfortable and confident in front of over 400 graduates, and appreciating and understanding how much a solid team of members can really bring a community

Throughout high school, I have always been involved in numerous clubs and organizations; however, I never took the initiative to be a leader in any activity until my senior year. It wasn’t that I lacked the motivation or the drive to be a leader, nor was it that I repulsed obligations or responsibilities. It was simply a matter of chance. Unfortunately, I would run for positions in clubs but I would never get elected- Vice President for the National Honors Society and Vice President for Student Council to be exact- causing me to question myself and my character.

In my years at The Citadel, I was the team captain of my intramural sports teams and led my company to two campus wide championships along with five total championship appearances. The experience of leading my fellow classmates, along with upperclassmen, was a challenge because the majority of them were older than I was, but my professionalism proved to be reason that I kept everyone in line and up to par. I am also an avid church goer by being a member of the Bridge of Life Pentecostal Community Church, while starting at short-stop on their church league softball team. I am a life-time member of the 4H society, which helps develop citizenship, leadership, and life skills in young adults through leadership labs and community service projects. I was the sole leader two separate projects within the organization this far that includes reading to elementary school students and conducting a camp for the preschoolers. The last organization that I am affiliated with is the North Carolina State Grange, which is an agricultural organization that also helps to develop principle leaders across the state. I was appointed the office of Youth Team member, which is a team of the top eight students in the state, along with being elected to be the officer of the state Executive Committee. All of these events and organizations have helped me establish many intrapersonal skills and
