Most Important Scholastic Honor

Accomplishments in my life have really given me a new understanding for myself and others and allowed for personal growth. One accomplishment has provoked this growth: being inducted into the National Honor Society. The society helps me to think differently about other people and learn of ways I could become a better person. This experience has shown me the importance of hard work, never giving up, social interaction, and helping others.

Honors and awards always make students feel proud and encourage to do best next time. I have received many honors and awards during my high school journeys such as Deans' list, A&B Honor roll, Biomedical academy, National Honor Society, National School of High School Scholars and much more.

School is an extremely important part of anyone’s life, and I have the opportunity to attend New Prague High School. Here I have been able to strive academically. Over the years I have tried my best to get good grades, on both my tests and report cards. I have taken my education very seriously. I do this by getting all my work done on time and having good grades and maintaining my GPA. Over the years of attending high school and trying to improve my education, I have received a few academic awards. One award that I have received was student of the month for math.

An accomplishment or event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood was being accepted to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Debutante Cotillion. The Alpha Kappa Alpha Debutante Cotillion is a six month program for ladies that are juniors or seniors in high school in order to equip and stimulate them to pursue higher education, academic excellence, and personal development. While doing the program, thirty-four other girls and I attend educational workshops, activities, community service outings, and rehearsals. At the end of the six months, the members of the program attend an elegant ball where we are presented to the community and awarded a scholarship.

I stopped procrastinating projects, I practiced color guard every day to make myself a better performer, and I got into the habit of studying despite feeling like I didn't need to. I took the initiative in all that I did and held myself to a higher standard, having finally learned it was best to lead by example; My siblings would grow up watching their sister work hard to succeed, and my work ethic rubbed off on them. What makes me a unique candidate for the Calhoun Honors College is not just that I am mature, but the way in which came to be that way. I haven't just learned the meaning of responsibility, I've shared it. I wasn’t just born mature, I’ve grown to live with it. As such, the maturity I gained is a unique response to a fairly common situation. I may be “wise beyond [my] years”, as parents and other adults have noticed, but I am also young enough to recognize I still have a life before me and plenty of lessons to learn, some of which I am hoping to gain from the Calhoun Honors

I am currently enrolled in three AP courses and made the Distinguished Honor Roll for the first marking period of the 2016-2017 school year. Because I’ve been able to learn from my mistakes I will enhance the values of Towson University through making more personal growth, allowing me to help those around me by being proof that you should never give up on yourself. Although I spent the past months questioning whether I should even bother applying to college because of my below average GPA, I know that have grown and changed. I know what I am now capable of accomplishing. Knowing that it was never too late to change my future has made me the person I am

Throughout the duration of my high school career, I have participated in a multitude of various extracurricular activities including Varsity volleyball, club volleyball, National Honor Society, Key Club, and Mathletes. I believe that I have involved myself in this wide range of activities in order to enjoy the company of individuals who appreciate the importance of both academics and athletics as much as I do. Personally, academics have always been a top priority of mine as a result of my parents placing such a significant importance on grades as a child. Consequently, I have participated in organizations such as National Honor Society and Mathletes where I surround myself with others similar to myself that follow a certain academic standard.

The Principal’s Honor Roll Award that has been awarded to me fits into this category because in order to get awarded, I have created a passion and have worked in developing my grades over a period of time. In my last award, it “Certifies that Bryan Garcia Mazariegos successfully completed the Spring 2017 semester with a Grade Point Average of

Hello, how are you doing? Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be in the consideration, of becoming a member of The National Honors Society. The reason I should be selected as a member is my determination, endurance, also the ability to understand a task. Throughout my life, I have overcome an abundance of obstacles. Also, being visually impaired I've endeavor an abundance of barriers during the duration of my life. Except that has not stopped me, from achieving my dreams furthermore goals. It's a struggle to maintain an outstanding GPA and be studious. Nevertheless, with a visual impairment school is harder. As a young child, I've overcome shyness, being bullied and family crisis. Still, my determination has changed my outcomes. In high

My junior year of highschool my best friend, Moriah and I were nominated to be in the National Honor Society. Unlike Moriah, I was too cocky and believed just because I had the good grades and was a cheerleader that I would be accepted into the group. I soon came to find out that that was not the case at all. I was at first baffled to my rejection into the group, but I should have seen it coming. I had no participation in community service, no leadership responsibilities in school or outside of school, and barely any accomplishments. I was devastated that my friend was admitted and I had missed my only shot of being in the National Honor Society. With this in mind, I decided to change my mindset for the better. I never thought to give back

When I first made Dean’s List at Montgomery College in my second semester, I promised myself that it would be the beginning of my long list of awards in college in the US, and I am making it. Additionally, when I volunteered for Junior Achievement to teach sixth graders personal finance and educational and career goals, I knew it was going to be arduous because I am very shy. After all, using real-life situations and games, I got to connect with the children, show them that the more education one receives, the most rewarding job he or she will have, and teach them about budgeting. It was a wonderful experience because not only did I help them, but I managed to overcome my fear of public speaking. Actually, I believe that what most motivates me is the sense of fulfillment a well-done task provides.

I received many honor rolls throughout high school. My recent honor roll was last semester. I maintained a cumulative of above 3.5 the whole semester. For sports, the Honokaa boy’s basketball team and I worked very hard to win the BIIF championship, First time we won it in sixteen years.

This past school year has brought me many accomplishments that I am proud of, and one of them was making the dean’s list during the fall semester. Making the Dean’s List meant a lot to me which made me feel proud of myself and gave me a sense of accomplishment. Since making the dean’s List, I have learned many things about myself. I learned that if I have a goal, I can accomplish it. It may take extra time or require me to work harder, but I know that I have the determination to achieve my goals.

I also received a couple of honor certificates in different subjects and this made me think to myself, “maybe I’m not so bad after all” It was such a big deal to me, because some of my friends and teachers had told me that they didn’t really see any potential in me, and always compared me to my siblings. I proved them all wrong, and also made myself proud.

It was no longer just a report card that I was getting; in addition to each grade I receive will be a remembrance of my grandmother whom I so deeply loved. I am determined to not only graduate college, but to graduate with superior grades enough to please her. To this day, it is a constant struggle, like any older adults continuing there are
