Members Of The National Honor Society

I believe that NJHS (National Junior Honors Society) is a very good program that will help to challenge me in school and in my community. It will help me pursue academic excellence as well as advancing my service learning by requiring me to complete service hours.

In the world we live in,more and more people seem to cherish the value of success and respect.It can be from the littlest things we come across everyday. You can finally be able to understand a concept for a subject in school in which you have been struggling with in the past,or you may have the guts to wear an accessory you have never put on.These are signs of not only accomplishments but of a dedication to do something you were prone to do and to watch achieve. Another term to being successful,is Leadership.Such a strong word for a strived meaning.Taking a lead for something and showing that you are able to communicate with an honest compassionate manner.When you think of yourself as being a person with an admirable character,you most

The National Honors Junior Society is one of the nation's prime organizations established to acknowledge outstanding middle school students. In order to be eligible to be a part of this society, students must exhibit certain achievements in different areas. Students must demonstrate excellence in areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship. The purpose of this prestigious organization is to provide a strong foundation for building leadership skills through service to the school and the surrounding community. I should be a part of this society because I believe I posses great leadership, scholarship, character, citizenship, and service qualities.

As a second year National Honor Society student, the last couple of years I have been more focused on ways I can help my community to help get all my service hours in for the end of my high school NHS career. I’ve always loved doing little things to help someone who needs it but I never thought about the things that I do everyday count just as much as the other things. Community service to me, is more than just holding the door open for someone, picking up trash, or helping someone with their groceries. I want to help people grow and be a better person while serving my community. I want to do more than volunteer, I want to impact the lives of people and I feel that is what I have done.

Since I was five years old I would always give my community a help hand, whether in beautifying my community by planting flowers, or by volunteering at local places. From the ages from five to ten my after school program would go around the neighborhood to plant flowers. In my town library I donated my time to help the children with hands-on activities to promote original ideas such as creating objects with everyday items. I have also volunteered a total of 36 hours for the American Cancer Society.

I believe that the National Honor Society should play a sizable role in the school community. The National Honor Society does an outstanding job commemorating students not just for academics, but also for leadership, characteristics, and service. Almost all other awards given at schools deal strictly with congratulating students for excellent academics, whereas top students of the National Honor Society excel in all of the criteria.

Academics is a serious aspect of my life, and being a member of National Honor Society has certainly encouraged my dedication to my studies. I work diligently to keep my GPA up so I can stay in NHS and graduate with honors. Even with the advanced placement classes I am taking, I know that the extra work will help my future. Being a member has made me think more about my character and how I can improve it. I am more conscientious about my actions, and work hard to complete all of my responsibilities when needed.

I did not list any activities because I am a student that receives my education from multiple sources. I attend classes at my local high school, George Wythe and also at Wytheville Community College. In addition, some of my course work is taught on line and the professor is telecast to our computers. I am a member of National Honor Soceity through my accaemics at the high school, but I also am a member of Phi Theata Kappa through the community college. I have been able to obtain two honor society memberships since I am a dual enrollment student. However, I have participate in many academic and extracurricular activities. I have amassed numerous amounts of knowledge which will assist me in my future endeavors. I have accrued hundreds of

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.

I believe that I would be a good member of National Honor Society because I am an involved student here at SHS and in my community. Whenever there is a school event that needs planning, setup, or cleanup, I am bound to be there. Ask anyone and they will tell you that I am one of the most spirited and positive students at this school.

From day one my mom taught me that you will get more satisfaction giving to and helping others than you ever will by just doing things for yourself. I truly believe this. Volunteering to teach swimming lessons, organizing recycled items, and visiting the nursing home are all things I have been involved in and doing each of those I have learned more and more about how important service is. Just recently my classmates and I helped an elderly woman move all of her belongings out of her home and into the 4H building for an auction. The 4H building is on the fairgrounds where I have volunteered to clean up every spring for the last 3 years. Service is very important but also very rewarding. I look toward to doing more service projects in the

I was delighted to find out I was eligible to take part in National Junior Honor Society, but it got me thinking, “Why me?” I have been wondering throughout the day what makes me so special to take part in such an honorable program but, to be honest, I could not find an accurate answer. It is very hard for me to not be modest because, I do not want to seem like I am better than other candidates, but if I have to, I will. Although I do not have much volunteer hours, I still would like to help out the community give back. I remember one time when I was about 9 or 10 my family and I traveled to Colorado to visit family members and as part of the experience, my parents enrolled me into a soup shop, in which I helped feed the less fortunate. It

When it comes to leadership the mores experience you have, the high chance of success the team has. National Honors Society is a brilliant program, in which it allows students to take part in programs that have a positive impact on the community. This would help me in the future because with the ability to be a leader I can see what works and what does not. Also with the lessons I learn about leadership I will be able to use it in my future career field. With the experience of being a leader, I can further my career by planning events with museums and exhibits.

Before completing the service project, Foster’s quote “Service is not a list of things that we do… but a way of living” (134), did not resonate as much with me. After completing the project, I reflected and realized that what we did was not only important because we did something nice and did some volunteer work, but because it was who God was calling us to be, servants. Servants who do not just preform nice acts for others, but who will help those people when they need it and even when they do not need it and who will do the Godly thing. Because of this service project, I have committed myself to live as a servant. I will try to accomplish this by smiling, even when I do not want to, because I know being on the receiving ling that it can make a person’s day much brighter. I will try to service by being patient and understanding with other’s because it may be an act of grace towards them. I will live as a servant by caring and being kind to everyone. With God’s love, I know that I can become a person who does not just preform acts of servants, but one who lives as a servant of

Service is our calling to help others that are less fortunate than us. The best thing was can do in our life is to help and give to the poor. My service hour with the poor was at St. Vincent de Paul in Indianapolis. St Vincent de Paul is the largest food pantry in the midwest. The food pantry serves thousands everyday it is open. They have two large stocking room and a room for the people to shop. They have some of the same people every Saturday like my favorite guy whose name is Norm. Norm is a guy who volunteers their every Saturday but what I like most about him is that he interacts with the kids. He gives the kids snacks and just talks to them. I visit St. Visit de Paul frequently to do service hours but this time was a different experience.
