NMSQT1 Task 3

The four pillars of National Honor Society (NHS) include scholarship, service, leadership, and character. I have already received this application opportunity due to meeting the requirements of the scholarship portion of NHS, which requires a strong commitment to learning and putting effort towards achieving high grades in the classroom. I intend to benefit the remaining three pillars of service, leadership, and character through my willingness to work for others free of reward, initiative to lead my peers, and optimal decision making.

Scholarship has always been a major part of society, and is valuable in all aspects of life. The search for knowledge will never end, as scholarship is what creates innovations that benefit everyone. As a senior, I have come to realize how important education is. Being educated is what leads to better and brighter futures; therefore, throughout all of my years in school, I have worked hard. I have challenged myself with rigorous AP and honors courses, as well as keeping all of my grades an A. My constant hard work in school, I believe, qualifies me for the National Honor Society. I am willing

C2 will be offering complimentary seminars and practice tests throughout August and September in the SoCal region. Practice tests will include the new SAT, new PSAT as well as the ACT. Seminars and workshops will cover topics ranging from financial aid to college admissions to the new SAT and PSAT.

The nurse in the case study is faced with an ethical and professional, dilemma. How can she be an advocate for her patient Mr. E? Dr G. is proceeding on a course of action or plan of care that is directly contrary to the patients advance directive and his verbalized objections to the course of treatment proposed by the physician and that is concerning for her. There are multiple issues to consider. For the nurse, she needs to think about her code of ethics, her scope of practice and the legal issues regarding advance directives and Durable Power Of Attorney (DPOA). She also needs to consider the patients right to privacy and confidentiality. As with most areas and issues in modern healthcare the statues can be

Throughout my high school career I have worked assiduously by packing my schedule with rigorous classes in which I pushed myself in order to become the student I am today. Being able to not only challenge myself but succeed in such demanding classes has shown me what I am truly capable of. I strive to fulfil my most prodigious dream to someday be apart of the National Honor Society at my hometown school. Now, I am one step closer in achieving that goal. Knowing that I am more than capable enough to challenge myself will push me to strive for excellence while being a member. I plan on dedicating myself to the National Honor Society as much as I dedicate myself to my scholastic

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.

Potential national honors society member Being eligible to be a part of the National Honors Society is a big milestone in my life. Thank you for considering me to be a potential member, I am honored that my efforts are being recognized. Throughout the past 3 years of attending Shenandoah Valley Academy I have pushed myself in order to become someone I will be proud of. I believe I should be part of NHS because not only do I have the academic qualifications, and my character reflects that I am a strong and determined girl who not only cares for the well-being of herself but for the people around her. I try my best to focus on being an example to others.

After getting the option to apply for a membership position in the National Honor Society making the decision to follow through with the application process was a simple one. The plethora of advantages the membership would provide for my education, community and character seemed well worth all that was required in the application process. The four pillars scholarship, leadership, character and service are what makes the members and the organization so successful. Scholarship, the academic study or achievement and the first of the four core values of NHS. Throughout my years so far in high school I have done my best to achieve proficient grades in all my classes.

Without a shadow of a doubt, I believe I am a worthy candidate to be consider as a recipient for the scholarship from PHSC foundation. However, I was not raised to go through life thinking that I deserve anything nor was I entitled to receive anything for free. I was taught that anything that is worth having—it is worth working for. So with this in mind, I am applying for the scholarship at PHSC because I am a student who has really worked hard regardless of how difficult things have

For many years, standardized tests have been a pillar of college admissions. Students are persuaded to take the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT) because colleges believe the scores can predict an applicant’s academic success after high school. However, an increasing number of colleges have made reporting test scores optional due to inconsistencies with the tests, many of which have been emphasized by students. These inconsistencies and other problems with test distribution have led to increasing demands for standardized testing to be reformed or become optional in the admissions process. Standardized testing should be eliminated as a criterion for college applicants because the tests have made education less significant, have made scores vary among students with similar academic abilities, and have not contributed a noticeable improvement to children’s intelligence.

As upcoming high school seniors, many such as myself, desire scholarships in order to alleviate the financial burden that attending a university can bring. Though this considerable and generous scholarship prize money will be used to further my education at Texas A&M University, my main wish is to bring pride and satisfaction to my family. As a first generation student, I am humbled by the opportunity of obtaining an education in America. Since my parents were migrants from Vietnam and Hong Kong, a successful life here was unheard of many years before. Financial strains do occasionally plague our lives, however, we have not forgotten the strenuous hard work and sacrifice that my parents have conquered in order to put their two daughters through

Scholarship, as well as the high-level of academic standards required by the National Honors Society provides a firm basis for

I believe I actively display the four pillars of the National Honor Society, and am honored to be able to prove myself and be considered to become a part of the invaluable experience the National Honor Society provides. The selection process began with my GPA, however I have much more to offer the program. Working alongside my peers and with my coaches and teachers, I have actively displayed not only scholarship, but service, leadership, and character as well. One truly special event that I know I will always remember from my high school years, was being a part of the project called “Second Thoughts”. Along with my completion of a leadership workshop this previous summer, five peers and I were instructed to create a project that addressed

Qualified students are awarded renewable Merit Scholarships of up to $17,000 every year. Scholarships are awarded based on weighted cumulative grade point average and the highest combined critical reading and math SAT/ACT scores.

The College Board and ACT nonprofit organizations, known for developing and administering the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and American College Testing (ACT) assessment respectively, represents higher education’s widely accepted college readiness determinant for prospective students. These examinations empirically measure a student’s grasp of reading, writing, and mathematics – subjects taught every day in high school classrooms. As a result, they typically constitute a significant proportion of the total entrance requirements for prospective students to relevant institutions of higher learning and denote a serious endeavor unto itself. Students commonly take one or both of these examinations during their junior or senior year of high school as dictated by an institution’s administrative guidelines, although most colleges now allow either test as part of their proprietary admission formulas. And since it turns out there exists subtle differences in the tests themselves, students should review research concluding certain individuals may be better candidates for maximizing performance on one examination versus another.
