To me, service is necessary to do since we are all privileged in different ways, so we should use our advantages to help out in situations where that privilege is not available. Additionally, with a team effort, a lot of difference can be made, changing the community. I’d like to join NHS to try to make a difference in the world, especially since NHS is a rather large organization, I believe a lot of change can be made for the better, on any level of influence. I’d also like to join because I personally believe service makes you a better person, feeling more in touch with humanity and good values. I’d hope to accomplish anything to improve Desert Vista and the surrounding Phoenix & Ahwatukee area. Giving back to these regions is really important
NHS is an organization made up of students who regularly demonstrate the four pillars of NHS: Character, Leadership, Scholarship, and Service. Saydel’s chapter of NHS should model outstanding service and leadership within our school and community. Doing so will create a positive environment amongst our community members and students. Utilizing my strong leadership abilities, I believe I can help our chapter of NHS flourish. My strength in organization, self-determination, and ability to engage others will make me a great asset to our NHS
The NHS is a system that allows UK citizens to have free healthcare, to the point of use. However, immigrants and refugees, who have received diseases from their own country, come and abuse the NHS. The thing is, the NHS don't check any files and, even if you have just arrived in the UK, you will always be the subject of free healthcare. Consequently, the NHS suffers as a result of this. It is something that, along with many other things, needs to be fixed.
I feel that I would be a very positive contribution to the Antlers Chapter of the NHS. If I were to be elected as an officer, I would do my best to lead the NHS chapter in a direction that would improve the group as a whole. I feel that I would be beneficial to the chapter, because I know what it takes to be a leader. To be a leader, you need three important qualities. Three qualities you need to portray are confidence, persistence, and responsibility. I’ve been in several leadership positions that acquired these qualities, and the NHS needs officers with these three qualities for many reasons. To begin, an officer needs confidence. I’ve had to obtain confidence in my leadership position as a section leader in band. I’ve been section leader
The NHS is one of the best health services in the world however due to the service being free for anyone in the UK to use this takes up a lot of resources, which costs the government millions a year. The reason why some types of services/medicines the NHS can’t provide is because they are either too expensive or they are in short supply therefore you would have to look elsewhere beyond the UK. As shown in the online article from the independent where one life saving drug has had its price shoot up over 5,000 per cent. (Independent) This outrageous price increase would make it nearly impossible for the NHS to keep being as it is already being run on a budget.
Service brings me great joy, and I continually seek ways that I can help those around me. The day after school gets out, my youth group and I are leaving for Mexico City to serve with an organization, Niños de Mexico, that provides a safe house for orphans and children from broken homes. I also recently committed to volunteering my time each Sunday with the kids at my church. My efforts to serve extend through my daily life as well, for example, when sister has had a rough day, I make her tea or brownies. I take care of my neighbor’s kids for free when they’re having a busy week. None of these tasks feel like work to me, I love to help people as much as possible. I look forward to the new service opportunities National Honor Society will provide.
It is an honor to be considered for NHS. To me NHS is a place where gifted individuals can continue to grow as people and polish their talents. As a past NJHS member, I would like to find myself in NHS.
It brings me great pleasure to be considered a National Honor Society candidate. NHS is a highly regarded student activity to be involved in. It is in this group that the most passionate students reveal their dedication to everything. Selected students demonstrate a variety of outstanding qualities. Members of NHS are actively responsible scholars, reliable leaders, and devoted characters. Being selected as a member of NHS would give me further opportunities to extend my role as a student. It would also allow me to expand my ideas and make them permanent. I would like to be member to dedicate myself in school and in the community.
To me “Not To be served, but to serve” means to put others needs before your own. Service seems to almost be necessary once someone appreciates all that has been done for them. In my case, I have already begun to give back to community which has already given me so much to me. Three years ago I joined a club called the Jr. Civitans. Junior Civitan is a student-led service organization for middle and high school students. The club has a special focus on helping people with developmental disabilities. Throughout the year, we do multiple fundraisers that benefit the special education students at my high school. Some of these events include a Haunted Forest, a Spaghetti Dinner, and a Prom Dress fashion show. The club really emphasizes the focus
I had signed up for the Service Saturday freshman year and I chose TASK. At TASK I enjoyed playing soccer with children who were physically disabled and/or intellectually challenged. At first, I was hesitant because I was surrounded by many unfamiliar things. Then, I started to see all the other different groups of people who volunteered to help too such as college and high school soccer teams, other high school students, adults, and regular helpers. Seeing all those people that day helped me realize that I too can serve others at any time in my life.
Another one of my favorite volunteering opportunities is helping out at Spring Creek Nursing home. A few of my friends and I try to volunteer regularly, and it has turned into one of my favorite things to do. I find myself looking forward to seeing the bright smiles and hearing the wisdom that the residents have to offer. Service is something that brings me joy and I hope to be able to share that joy with others if I become a member of NHS. I believe that it is my duty as a member of the community to help and to be an uplifting power and example for others so that our society can reach its full
This simple image depicts the direction not only the NHS is heading, but the entire world. This direction is toward a more technologically advanced future, with increased efficiency and reliability throughout. The NHS is one of the largest organisations in the UK and boasts the highest employment rate of people within the IT sector. This leads to the question of what these IT personnel are doing and what technology they are bringing to the NHS to improve productivity. It is evident through campaigns such as the one in the previous image that the NHS is attempting to modernise alongside technology but what technology is truly used isn’t largely public knowledge, this is where this report attempts to bridge the gap, allowing the public greater knowledge to the inner workings of the NHS. This report also allows for the NHS to understand what technologies are working well within the organisation alongside those which aren’t working so well, so they are able to work with this for future improvements.
My definition of service is a beneficial act performed for someone in need. Examples of service include volunteer work and doing small things for other people when the opportunity arises. It is important for a person to help their community once in a while, because a lot of people are very entitled. I find this present in the majority of people in our society, in my peers and those older than me. I am not exempt from this sense of entitlement, which most likely comes from that fact that we all live comfortably in the middle class of a first world country, which most people would consider not to be in a major war at the moment. It is crucial for people to do things that they don’t really want to for the benefit of others once in a while. For my NJHS service hours, I will be volunteering with SNAP (students need an after party). I helped with the color run, and will be helping make decorations for the SNAP annual after party, which takes place after prom. My family also plans to participate in the USPS (United States Postal Service)’s Operation Santa, which where people adopt letters from needy kids, and then send them a
People may think of service as being in a war or being part of our government. While these are very high positions of service there are also many small ways service can make an impact. Some of the service activities I have been included in are: Singing at a senior center, participating in Girl Scouts, adopting and caring for a humane society dog, donating clothes or toys to goodwill, and biking/walking places to save gas. Service is very important to me because it really helps me visualize the difference you can make by doing several small acts of kindness.
I currently possess the NHS values of scholarship, leadership, service, and character and want to become a member because of influential people I look up to, tragic events, and motivation for success. First, I have lived with a supportive family who gives me advice and shows me that there are endless possibilities to my future. They have gone to college and been very successful due to their efforts in work and school. Additionally, my piano teacher has given me patience while I learn new pieces and perform. Second, my sister was bullied and abused last year, and finding ways to support and understand her helps me be more compassionate for others struggling with difficult things. She has always been my best friend even though we are sisters,
Lifestyle choices such as smoking, drinking alcohol, poor diet and lack of physical exercise have many diseases associated with them. In 2006-07, patients with these diseases cost the NHS a combined total of £18.4bn (Scarborough et al. 2011). If the NHS limited treatment to these groups of people, it would be able to invest this money into other areas of need. This could lead to improved facilities for people who become ill through no fault of their own.
