Goals For National Honor Society

After the induction ceremony, I came before my mom, both of us smiling. Words were not necessary for me to know that my mom was proud of me. Being in National Honor Society was something that did not just made my parents proud, but it made me proud of myself. The honor of being in the club is not the only reason why the club is so valuable for me. It is the experience that I get form interacting and working with students from other grade levels that really inspires me. The club meetings and activities allow me to meet amazing individuals that I might have never had the opportunity to meet. National Honor Society is also a club that helps and encourages their club members to give back to the community. Some events that National Honor Society

It is a honor to be admitted to be considered for the National Junior Honor Society. Over my first months at Hickory Creek middle school, I had heard about the national junior honors society. In the beginning, I thought to myself, What is this junior honor society? I wonder what they do. Over the course of the winter I found out how the NJHS helps give back to the community and helps its member succeed academically.This things stood out to me because I try to excel academically while, giving back to people and I feel that I meet the standards to join the NJHS.

“...ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” This

I am ready to fully accept the responsibilities of National honor Society. I am involved in many activities and I am dedicated to push myself and reach my full potential in each and every one. In basketball, sometimes I would get knocked down but I would always get back up with the encouragement of my teammates and work harder to win. My coaches really influence me on and off the court. Coach Batchelder will critique me on the court and it’s up to me to make adjustments and also off the court he reminds me to maintain my grades which are also on me. I play a sport all year-round, my daily schedule is school, practice, homework and bed at 10:00pm so I can get 8 hours of sleep to start the day all over again.

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

As a member of four national honor societies, I believe my presence in those organizations has made me a good candidate for the College Scholars program. I was invited to the National English Honor Society, Rho Kappa (Social Studies National Honor Society), National French Honor Society, and National Honor Society. All four have enhanced my academics, social skills, and intuition. In the National English Honor society, we are challenged to utilize our writing skills for the betterment of our community. Our main project this year was creating little messages that promoted suicide prevention. We would then attach the message to a knitted heart and hang them all around our school. Rho Kappa has gifted me with an appreciation for the United States

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.

National Junior Honor Society will be a great opportunity for me. If I am accepted into NJHS I plan on keeping up my 4.0 average, balancing between school and outside of school activities, continuing to help my community/peers, and creating a specific idea to make a positive impact at the school. The next 3 paragraphs I will be stating why I will be a great member of NJHS, why it's good to help people, and something I could do to positively impact my school.

As a National Honors Society student one of the four qualities we are to exhibit is service. I exhibit the quality of service by taking out time to go over and beyond the norm to help others, and the community. I have been helping the community and others ever since I was a child. Being an active member at my church, I remember in my elementary years helping feed the homeless at the City Union Mission. My time spent at the City Union Mission impacted me till this day, and now I prepare meals after church for the men that come to worship service. As a Christian it is important to show humility, and to not take pride in myself. I am taught to not be selfish, hateful, or ungrateful, I use what I am taught by my family, the Bible, church, and

The four pillars of National Honor Society could not be framed more perfectly to apply to my future goals. In the future, I want to base my goals around rebuilding foreign governments and infrastructure, while addressing and solving desperate social issues as well. The four pillars of National Honor Society facilitate this goal extremely well for the following reasons. Scholarship is obviously paramount because the ability work hard to learn, comprehend and understand other situations in other countries is vital to pursuing progress. Furthermore, the inherent work ethic in scholarship and knowledge it provides is needed for insight on the inner workings of other governments in order to achieve my goals. Service is also incredibly important,

1) As a Roncalli student, I have been able to participate in many memorable service activities both as an individual and in a large group. From freshman year, I have accumulated the most service during the summer time when I have had the opportunity to be involved coaching youth teams in different sports. This service is the most special to me because it is a way for me to volunteer in activities that I myself love and have a passion for. It has taught me a lot, and I think I have gotten as much out of it as the girls I coach have. Another notable service is the service I was able to participate in with my classmates as a volunteer at Journey Home. This service really opened my eyes to the issues people and families face here in Aberdeen. I was happy that I was able to experience and learn something new while helping a cause and helping people in my own community that I otherwise would have never known about. This year, I was also able to volunteer to be a group leader at a Roncalli Junior High Retreat. When I was younger I always knew it was something I wanted to experience and I loved being there. It was great to meet the younger kids and help them along throughout the day while they experienced a retreat for the first time. I hope to continue these service activities as I get older and move out of my time in high school wherever I end up.

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

The first idea I believe National Honor Society should participate in is hosting a Memorial Day celebration for the families in our community that have lost loved ones due to serving our country. I think this would be amazing because it would give the people in our community a sense that they are not alone and introduce them to people that they can lean on. At this event, we could have food/treats and potentially an open microphone where people would be able to share the story of their loved one(s). This could then become a yearly event that people look forward to because it would be a celebration of life. I realize this could turn into a huge event because there are many people that could possibly attend but we could keep that under control

Growing up, I’ve always wondered why there isn’t more done to help those who are stricken to wheelchairs or those who can’t remember where they are at one moment then are completely aware the next. To this day I don’t understand how nobody’s found something to halt the deterioration of the central nervous system. My “major of interest” is neuroscience. More specifically, my major is the molecular and cellular side or the “biology side” to the field. With this major, I will learn the ins and outs of the brain and everything that coincides with it. But, I will also need to research to go even farther into the subject and to really master what I’m studying. I want to be able to contribute to the current research that is pushing to fight the disabling powers of neurological diseases. The diseases I want to really focus on are Alzheimer’s and ALS. These illnesses have ruined countless lives and have stopped many people from living their lives to their full potential.

The National Honor Society recognizes students who are outstanding in scholarship, service, leadership and character. As a hard working, and goal-oriented student, I feel that being accepted into the organization would benefit my character and leadership skills along with helping the community. It would not only be an honor to be selected to take apart of this organization, but also a privilege. I can only hope that I embody the characteristics of this organization. I always strive to lead in all I do and and always asking how can I better myself in school. The National Honor Society is one of the most aristocratic and dignified societies our school has to offer. It is known for acknowledging and recognizing hard working students with outstanding
