I’m a determined person who believes there are no limits to the possibilities in our education. Since I was little, the challenge always passion me, and entering Nation Honor Society, has been a commitment over the past years in my school life.

Volunteering, in minor or significant ways, taught me that I could make an impact in the world and along the way build my character, experience the world, and develop better communication skills. I learned this at my local library, Fumo Family Branch. I aspire to become a part of the National Honors Society because I want to network with my peers and people outside of the Academy at Palumbo, improve my character and leadership skills, and give back to my community.

The National Honors Society allows students to be build and create traits that are essential in a successful adult. I truly believe that hold many of these traits and joining the National Honor Society will grant me the opportunity to expand on these traits and grow as a person. Thus far I have focus greatly on the scholarship aspect of NHS and have been dedicated to my academics. I have held my GPA above 4.0 and have always been devoted to maintaining that high level of academic success. The skills I have shown in devoting myself to my academics can be easily translated into my dedication for the other aspects of leadership, service and character. Having previously held a officer role in the National Junior Honor Society I have gained experience

"Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike." Theodore Roosevelt. Students should demonstrate scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character because of three reasons. One, if students demonstrate these qualities they are more likely to get better grades and get reprimanded less. Another, without these traits, a student would have far less opportunities in the future. Finally, as students grow they will gain much more wisdom if they allow themselves to work on demonstrating these characteristics. Overall, these qualities are very important in the present, and in the future.

When the opportunity of being able to do more than just learning the basics of a subject, I fully appreciate it. Joining the Honors College at FIU will not only help me get a head-start at my career goal as a psychiatrist but help me develop strong ethical problem-solving abilities.

To be able to achieve this dream of helping the world with medicine, the FIU Honors program with its advanced courses will guide me through doing so. What interests me about Florida International University is that it has the only major honors program in the country with courses being available online.

It is unbelievable that I have been selected to potentially become an NHS member. As I look back on the last two and a half years of my high school career, I realize there have been many times that I could have given up on trying to achieve my academic goals. I have had opportunities to cheat and lie my way through it, but as a meticulous student chose to do my very best the honest way. I have maintained a 4.0 grade point average, so I am an incredibly hard-working student. I promise to continue to work hard in order to keep getting straight A’s and that is only one reason I should be chosen to be an official member of the National Honor Society.

When I first received the letter inviting me to apply to the National Honor Society, my initial thoughts were of appreciation for the recognition of my hard work during this past academic year. To think of myself as a member of the NHS is an honor that could have a profound impact on my future. Over the past several years I have driven myself to become a much more motivated person. Along with achieving a GPA of 3.67, which is a personal best, I have also motivated myself to lose 35 pounds, which has helped me to have the self-confidence to take a more active leadership role in encouraging others to live a healthier lifestyle.

During my freshmen year, I was a Residential Honors Student. I had to give it up because at the spring 2015, series of earthquakes devastated Nepal and it made a huge financial impact in my family. Therefore, my family who had financially supporting for my studies in US, could not afford me living in an honors residential hall for two years which was one of the requirements of the honors student. Hence, when I received an offer to be a Resident Adviser, I chose what was best for me at the moment, to hold on going to college in a much more affordable financial decision. Although, it has almost been a year, the aftershocks of the earthquake still shakes Nepal, which has not built any stronger financial stability in my family. Thus, this scholarship

I expect a great deal from my time with Virginia Commonwealth University Honors College.

I am pursuing VCU in an attempt to further my education, and I believe the Honors College is my best opportunity to do so. I look forward to exploring all the Honors College has to offer, and I hope it will help me to become a better student, graduate, and person all around.

Many thoughts motivate me to apply to the Honors Program at CSU, Chico. When I look back on the eighteen years of my life, I realized how much I’ve grown as a person. All throughout elementary school and 6th grade, my school would put me in a reading group because I had problems with comprehension. To clarify, I was that kid terrified of reading in front of the class because I knew my peers would laugh at my struggles. For this reason, I grew up believing that I would never be smart compared to the rest of my classmates. On a lighter note, when I started my freshman year of high school, I realized that I had the work ethic and dedication to be the intellectual I wanted to be. When I finished the year with a 4.0 GPA, it was the first time I felt like I was smart like everyone else.

Traveling and learning about other cultures have been an important part of my life. I am actually planning on taking a gap year between high school and college. I believe that the experiences and world perspective I will learn while my year in Italy as an exchange student will bring a unique perspective to the honors college. I also will be increasingly open to others openings, helping to create a more open learning environment, which I hope will pave the way for a success if I am admitted to the honors

If someone asked me where I am going to be in ten years, this would be my answer. I will have a great, high-paying job, and beautiful wife and family, and a nice sports car parked in front of my lovely house. When I look into the future, I see myself being successful and happy. Even though I always pictured myself this way, I never worried too much about how I would get there. I feel the Suffolk University can lay the groundwork for making these dreams into reality.
