Graduation Speech: Inducted Into The National Honor Society

I am an active member of my school and community. At school I feel that i've gained the respect of my peers being elected as Student Council representative for the past four years. I have also been elected the treasurer of the choir, and secretary of the band. I am part of the Ross Middle School bucket drumming group and have been casted as part of the school theatre’s annual play. After school on Wednesdays I assist Ms. Rullman in helping students with homework and enhancing study methods. I am currently participating in science olympiad and have in the past. I am also an anchor on the popular Good Morning Ross Middle School weekly news show. In addition, I have been a part of National Junior Honor Society which takes part in service projects

I am deeply honored to be among the exemplary students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. I must admit this is what I’ve been looking forward to since the start of my high school career. This organization is not only known for the student’s high gpas but the willing to set an example for others. Joining this prestigious society will present countless opportunities for me and allow me to grow as a person and do as much as I can for my fellow peers and community. I believe that leadership and character best complement each other because the scratch surface of a true leader, or look behind his or her her personality, you’ll find a good character. While scholarship and service complement each other because you must do your

Feeling claustrophobic in an immense sea of blue and gold, I sat uncomfortably in one of the largest auditoriums I have experienced while watching my cousin’s high school graduation. A freshman at the time, I became mesmerized by the concept of secondary school, and was overjoyed to sit with my family and celebrate Margaret’s achievements. Scanning the graduates, something caught my eye; there were shimmering sashes around the necks of a select few students. An epiphany occurred in my mind and I was determined to be just like those seniors one day - I would be a member of National Honor Society and therefore be distinguished from my peers during my graduation ceremony. Unfortunately, the “School Point” section of my NHS application, where each club and sport activity counted for a point, was empty. As a child, I wasn’t allowed to be involved in any extracurriculars that weren’t agriculture based until obtaining my license and paying for my own expenses - gas bill, car insurance, et cetera.

I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming all of you into the National Honor Society, a group built off of high standards of achievement, not only in the area of academics but also in character and leadership. I congratulate each of you and your parents.

I am delighted to announce that I am running for the presidential position of Science National Honors Society, which has truly been one of the most active clubs at Clements High School this year! In doing so the club has genuinely lived up to its motto of "Promoting Science, Service, and Leadership". Hearty congratulations to all the current officers for successfully re-establishing the SNHS standards at Clements High School after a year of hardships. From the establishment of Pat Cave to volunteering at Westbury Community Garden, active involvement in SNHS has given me a rigorous introduction to application of scientific concepts to real life problems. At the same time, this club has taught me how to sincerely appreciate nature, specifically

Thank you, I respect all those Veterans who have risked their lives for us. “ No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another. ” --Charles Dickens. Freedom , Liberty ,and Justice should be very important to everyone. Today and everyday we are grateful for our military service personnel, past and present ,and the families who support them.Throughout the courses of American history courageous men and women have taken up arms to secure, defend, and maintain those core principles upon which our Nation’s freedoms depend.

I am fairly nervous for my speech today because I didn’t get to prepare as well as I would have liked. I got called into work last night and had to work with a new person and they had no clue how to do anything, so not only did I have to train them, but I didn’t get to practice my speech as much as I would have liked. I almost guarantee I’m going to talk too fast and not make the time limit. I’m also a little apprehensive just because of the type of speech this is, and I have never actually done a toast before. I have spoken in front of many people before at a ceremony in my high school, because I was a board member in National Honor Society. I had to speak on behalf of my fellow members and honor the new inductees. I am really hoping, and

Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!

From a young age, I was raised not to quit, never give up on my dreams, or my future. In order to succeed in life I must give everything I have for the things that mean the most. I was taught that nothing worth having in life is easy. I agree with President Theodore Roosevelt’s quote “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” I understand the hard work that a cadet must put in at a Military Academy. I have spent my High School career preparing myself for a very grueling academic and physical path to my future. There is nothing I want more than to attend a United States Military Academy and serve my

I've been trying to follow up with Savanna for 2 weeks now and finally was able to speak to her yesterday. What she offered as a solution was very disappointing. She told me that she spoke to the eBoard members prior to Spring Break and this was quite alarming to me because I was treated so poorly at the last General Meeting. There is no statue of limitations in regards to this matter and being told by Savanna, "look, there are only 2 weeks in the semester" gives a great impression that this serious matter is just not serious enough from the perspective of Student Life.

Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.

The Morehead State University Honors Program opens the door to many great opportunities which include, but are not limited to, a semester-long internship with a legislator in Frankfort, a summer research program for aspiring physicians and dentists, and a year-long volunteering experience working with children in an after school program. Although all of these would allow me to develop many new skills, along with relationships across our great commonwealth, I feel as if the summer research program for aspiring physicians and dentists would be the best fit for me. As an aspiring physician, I believe that this experience would allow me to challenge myself with new concepts that will be critical to my success in medical school, as well as allowing me to better my research skills. This program would assist me unbelievably as I transition into my future.

Hello Jodie,My name is Kyle McKenna I am currently grade 10 and attending Latrobe High School.

High school is supposed to be the place where you have fun and a time in your life you’re supposed to enjoy. Movies often trick you into believing that high school is an amazing time in your life and there is nothing but parties and fun. In Bring it on, they portrayed the fun and exciting part of high school cheer-leading, however they intentionally leave out the tough times high school students’ face in school and in their practices. In other popular movies, such as High School Musical the students have no pressures other than the next basketball game. In reality, this doesn 't happen. The constant pressure is affected by the grade level you are in. In high school, students can be classified based on the pressures that are faced in each grade level into the categories of freshman, sophomores/juniors, and seniors. I am here to help you make your high school experience less stressful.

My experience in education from kindergarten to being a senior in high school was very challenging but rewarding. Throughout my schooling, I was blessed to have some exceptional teachers and coaches that had taught me life lessons and challenged me to be a better person outside the classroom and a better student in the classroom. From kindergarten to being a senior in high school, I attended three different types of schools in the South Carolina School system. I attended a small private Christian school named Horizons Christian Academy. Then I transferred to public schools. For fifth grade, I attended Chester Park School of the Arts. For sixth and seventh grades, I attended Chester Middle School. After my seventh grade year, I attended York Preparatory Academy, a public charter school, until my sophomore year of high school. After my sophomore year in high school, I attend Chester Senior High School. Then ventured back to York Preparatory Academy for my junior and senior years, being a part of the first graduating class.
