Honor Society Narrative

Being accepted into the National honors society is not only and honor, but most importantly a privilege. This means that I have achieved many academic goals, such as my 3.86 GPA, and success in many of my other clubs as well. I have taken multiple honors classes throughout high school and excelled in them. They have taught me a strong positive work ethic and gave me the criticism that I need to better myself. Also, I have been given the responsibility as Captain of my golf team. My job is to instill confidence and inspiration to my teammates ensuring them that they can accomplish the highest of goals on the golf course. Not to mention that is only one of my leadership rolls at Middletown High School South.

For as long as I can remember, I feel as though I have been raised in a military environment. At a very young age my parents taught me to value discipline, manners, and to show and treat people with respect. In addition to these ‘staples’ of my upbringing, excelling in academics and on the athletic fields was where I further grew as a leader and learned to work with others to further distinguish myself from my peers. I knew based on my priorities and values that I was different from others by not only the way I carried myself but how I spoke to my peers and elders and the respect that I commanded. Perhaps those values were aided by both my grandfather’s serving in the military and my uncle attending West Point, a graduate of the class of

It is an honor to be considered for membership for the National Honor Society. The service that I have done throughout my high school career will benefit me later in life. If I get accepted I will do more service with the school, classmates, and community. So far, I have joined Band and am part of the News Crew.

The honor society awards students who show the qualities scholarship, leadership, and character and offer their service to the community. From this opportunity, I learned that grades are not the only thing that make a person, it is how a person presents himself or herself as a member of the community and what they do in their community. I have also learned that little deeds go a long way. Giving

It's an immense honor to be recommended for Troy High National Honors Society. This school has played a huge role in impacting me and shaping me into the person I am today, and I believe that person represents all the ideals of National Honors society. My grades are my utmost top priority in school. I'm confident that the academic standards I have set for myself say a lot about my character as well as it does about scholarship. I strive every single day to achieve and maintain an impressive academic record by committing time and dedication, not only in school, but outside of school as well, and I believe that my results reflect that. Not only do my grades exemplify scholarship and character, but my involvement in extracurricular activities/clubs

I, Steven Tellez, feel that I am a good candidate to serve in National Honor Society because I've experienced what it is to be part of the National Honor Society. In middle school I served in National Junior Society for two years and we participated in many events that helped towards the community and in my serving I helped induct new members into the program by lighting the candle to one of the four main attributes of National Honor Society. One thing I loved to do in N.J.H.S was help with the surrounding community when we got the chance. And in my everyday life I still help with my community and neighborhood such as feeding a stray dog on the street or help rebuild a playground that needs repairs or a cleanup. The joy of helping other people

Receiving the recognition as a qualifying candidate for National Honors Society gives me great esteem in accomplishment. This translates to me knowing that my hard work has paid off and one of my first steps in the leadership of this community as well as larger roles can be pursued. I believe that my time as a National Honors Society student of Carteret High School can be trusted for the benefit of our society because I have proven to possess the qualities of good character, leadership, service, and scholarship. My time awaits to provide our community with the leadership it needs while at the same time leaving an example of a great student for everyone to reflect on for the betterment of themselves.

Since I was a young boy, I have always been a leader in my community. My mom worked as a teacher, so when school let out, I normally would have to come to Person and wait for my mom to take me home. While waiting for her, I would roam around the school and help out however I was needed (although since I was so young, I could not really do much). Over the years, my sense of helpfulness continued to grow, and it began to show. However, I believe I hit my first (of many) high points during Teachers would ask me if I could help them out in an assortment of different events, ranging from helping to set up band concerts, or helping man a station during the Fall Festival. Also, I joined the National Junior Honor Society in my 6th grade year, and

My nomination for membership into the National Honors Society has been an honor. The hard work I have been inputting into high school has not been unrecognized. This brings too light that I have achieve my goals to do my best in anything big or little, and to stand out among my peers.

Due to my involvement in my school, I have a plethora of opportunities that affect my community. As a member of the National Honor Society, we stay involved in activities that benefit our chapter and Walkerton itself. For instance, we annually undergo a food drive at our school in order to supply food for the people in the community. Then we transport the food to the food pantry and once every month we take turns to distribute the food to the people who need it. This distribution we do for the community aids the people in need as most people receiving the food are unable to transport the food themselves. Alongside the food drives, I spend hours of volunteering for concessions, tutoring students after school, and aiding for the band teacher.

At the end of my Junior year I was inducted in the National Honor Society. Prior to my Junior year as I mentioned in my scholarship letter I without a doubt had no clue to what I wanted to do, after taking medical science, and nursing assistant I knew I wanted to either become an Occupational Therapist or a Pediatric Nurse. Before being a part of Honor Society I didn’t even know it existed, so it truly caught me by surprise. Since the beginning of my junior year I knew that I wanted to challenge myself in classes more than before, that was what I did. When I received the letter saying I was to be a part this high honor it felt like the work I had done all year was paying off. It pushed me to want to do more, so I did. I applied at the UW nurse

In my four years of high school, I have had many opportunities to excel in different roles and leadership positions. I am a four sport athlete and had my share of leading the team in the right direction. I was team captain for basketball and softball by junior year and was able to achieve being captain in volleyball, basketball, and softball my senior year. Part of my duties as captain would include; leading practices and leading all the players by being a role model on and off the court. With addition to sports, I was also involved in different clubs and organizations.

I believe that I would make an exceptional member of National Honors Society due to my active commitment to improving my community through my leadership, service, and hardworking attitude. Throughout my high school career I have swam for both the Countryside YMCA torpedoes and the Ursuline high school team, participated in numerous community service projects, and taken up any leadership opportunities available to me.

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.

My failure helped me understand not only what I did wrong, but also it helped me understand myself better. I realized that it was not truly my wish to be a member of the Honor Society, I was doing that to please my parents, my friends and my previous teachers. I learned to be myself, despite the situation and be humble, without studying even if you have the potential you will not achieve anything, success is ninety nine percent hardworking and one percent perseverance, it requires effort. After crying in front of hundred students I finally got the strength to be myself no matter what, I became emotionally stronger and overcame my shyness, or part of it. The embarrassment of my failure not only made me the smartest girl in my school, but also
