National Honor Society And Mathletes

In my point of view, extracurricular activities are what shape a student into what they are or become. SkillsUSA is a career and technical student organization that helps students obtain the leadership, hands on, professional, and employability skills that America is searching for. Although at first, students do not find this extracurricular activity as interesting as a sport, they fail to recognize that this organization is for students and ran by students. As Pope John Paul II said, “The future starts today, not tomorrow.” Today, I know that SkillsUSA is helping me take a step closer to what I want to do in my

I have been raised on a dairy farm and my mom was also grew up on a dairy farm. My stepdad is a fourth generation dairy farmer and together my parents have taught me the sacrifice and hard work that goes into a farmer’s life. I am thankful for the privilege I have had in growing up on a farm and I want to help educate community members on the significance of our day to day dairy farmers and their contributions to society.

National Honor Society is an exceptional organization that promotes and motivates accomplished, versatile students. In order to qualify for National Honor Society, I believe one must have the mindset of a leader accompanied by examples of a strong moral character to support it. I have been demonstrating these qualities as an ambitious students before I began high school. Throughout my entire educational career, I have always strived to be the absolute best I can be. This includes challenging myself by always taking the highest level classes that are offered and maintaining Honor Roll. Furthermore, I am a very goal oriented person and committed to achieving my dreams. For example, when I was in the 6th grade, I was introduced to the North

Throughout my freshman year at Notre Dame Preparatory I have participated in many new activities that have allowed me to grow in character, leadership, and service. Examples of such activities include school athletics, membership in the United States Civil Air Patrol, and ushering at my Catholic parish. Through school athletics I have not only grown in my athletic ability in the sports of track and cross country, but I have grown in my ability to move through adversity and challenges. In addition to my participation in school sports I joined the United States Air Force Auxiliary, the Civil Air Patrol. Through Civil Air Patrol I have grown tremendously through classes every week, a week long training

In order to maintain a membership in the National Honor Society, each individual must follow these principles and guidelines provided by the Belgrade High School National Honor Society. Consequently, in not doing so you will be removed from NHS.

If a researcher wants to determine if a student who participated in extra-curricular activities in high school will have higher grades in college than a student who didn’t, they could see the cause and effect that extra-curricular activities has on a student’s college studies.

I still remember the time in Middle School when I was inducted as a member of NJHS(National Junior Honor Society). It was truly an honor to be accepted such a recognition for my outstanding grades and admirable characters. While receiving the certificate, I looked over to my parents who had big smiles on their face, they were very proud. Being a member of NJHS made me realize I play an important role in the community.

I am truly humbled and honored to be selected amongst the top students in my graduating class and I am excited to be given the opportunity to represent Gateway High School in our chapter of National Honor Society. I firmly believe that I posses traits that fulfill the pillars of NHS: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. Scholarship in my eyes is the ability to excel at high level educational studies. As a student, I strive for excellence in every way I can. I have taken a variety of AP and Honors classes during my time in high school, and I am proud to say that I have found myself on High Honor Roll on each report card I have received. I have been able to maintain a 3.85 GPA through two and a half years of school. Aside from school,

I am honored and excited to be writing about how I can support the National Honor Society (NHS). I was first introduced to the NHS, around 10 years of age, by my Uncles awards he proudly displays in his “Man Cave” along with many other academic and leadership awards he had received from Jr. High all the way through College. Of course, he saw me looking over the many ribbons, medals, trophies, pictures and I could continue; however this is not about him and when he saw me looking at them he had no problem coming over and explaining what each award was and how he had received each one. Then we got to the NHS picture, medal & yellow cord. He explained how he was “tapped” into NHS as a Sophomore and he made sure I understood that was not the

I am honored to be among the many students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. I believe that this organization does amazing things not just for the students at Harrison Community Schools but for everyone in the community and the surrounding communities. I hope to be a part of furthering the impressions that this organization has set among the public. I strive to be apart of NHS and the positive changes they inflict on many lives because I have worked hard to get to this point. Leadership, Character and Service have brought me far in life therefore they are my strength to evolve into positive changes that better everyone.

The function of an organization such as National Honor Society is to train the youth of today on how to be the leaders of tomorrow. I believe that the best way for anyone to learn is by example, and to serve others. National Honor Society is an organization based on leadership. Whether a leader in a family, a business, a school, or even a public service position, the best way to lead, is to be an example to others. I believe that serving others is one of the most important and lacking parts of society and the world that we live in today.

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

This limited my circle of friends to just the people I had known for years. My athletic endeavours also partially attributed to my academic shortcomings, as I focused more on them than I did on school. I realized I had to have better balance between my activities and school. Instead of coming home, skipping my homework, and immediately going to bed, I would stay up later to make sure all of my work was done before going to sleep. This balance allowed me to take on other activities in addition to my athletics. I since have become involved in Class Council, National Honor Society, and Academic Challenge. While the first two organizations primarily consist of service work to the school and the community, Academic Challenge invokes the competition of athletics into an academic setting. This has allowed me to make new friends while also experiencing the competitive aspect I have always enjoyed. Branching out in high school, while not easily done at first, greatly benefitted me, allowing me to diversify myself in areas other than athletics and to better manage

Say you had a choice between two students with equal grades. Student one dedicates him or herself to school, basketball, speech team and drama club. Student two limits themselves to school. Which one would you pick? The student who shows flexibility, diversity and the will to pursue more than what’s normally pursued, or the student who shows that they can work hard to achieve the grade they want?

It is important for adolescents to participate in extracurricular activities. Student who participate in these activities improve their academic scores and social life. Extracurricular activities can also help reduce many peer pressure related problems. “They enrich the lives of the students, their families and our communities. These activities create well rounded children who learn what their interests and talents are because they have been exposed to such opportunities” (Extracurricular Activities, Blogadmin). For most adolescents extracurricular activities should be required among what they do outside of school.
