National Honor Society Research Paper

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.

For scholarship I Also I get good grades and try to be good role model. For example, I took and passed my Global Regents as a Freshmen because I showed readiness by consistently participating and showing good work ethics. Even though I wasn’t in the honors class I felt ready to face the challenge as a Freshmen. What made me want to take to take this exam was to prove it doesn’t matter if you’re in the honors class or not just work hard. I’ve talked to the current and the upcoming freshmen about negative and positive things I went through as freshmen so they don’t make the same mistakes I did or so that they can do the same positive things I did. For leadership, I participate in class and encourage my peers to do the same. I help make sure my peers comprehend what we have learned. In sports, I push my teammates to get better but have fun at the same time. I start practices when my coach is running late and when my coach is out talking to someone I continue the practice. For service, I and my Mosque went out on August 17, 2017, and collect cans of food and a collection for $350 and sent it to Sierra Leone because of the flood /mudslide and for the people who lost their homes and family. We also ran a food drive to give back to the community and helped the homeless. For character, I show all the five words Integrity, Leadership, Courage, Curiosity, Concern and also Brother’s

Being eligible to become a member of the National Honor Society is a great honor. Becoming a member will open opportunities for me to grow as a person and help me reach my future career goals. I believe that I will be able to contribute to our NHS program in the additional three pillars of service, leadership, and character.

Why should I be allowed to become a member of the National Honor Society at Franklinton High School? I’ve contemplated this question over the last two weeks, and I have arrived at the following reasons I would be a good and capable member who would make an excellent contribution.

I am greatly honored of having the opportunity of applying to the National Honor Society. To most students, National Honor Society is just an extra tassel on graduation day, but to me, I see it as an introduction to our future. I have been looking forward to joining this prestigious organization since the beginning of freshman year. Throughout this past two scholastic years, I have admired the hard work that the students have done to help the community, and I believe that I can play a part in their hard work in this upcoming year.

The National Honor Society (NHS) recognizes students who exhibit academic excellence, as well as students who display a variety of honorable traits which include upstanding character, leadership, and a willingness to serve. Being a part of the National Honor Society means that a person encompasses all of these qualities, as many of those characteristics complement each other. A person with upstanding character most likely has a passion for serving and also has the determination to succeed in an honest manner. Without one of these qualities, I wouldn’t be able to ensure that I possess the characteristics that the National Honor Society requires of its members.

I believe I should be chosen for membership into the National Honor Society for many reasons. First, I try my hardest in school and take my academics very seriously. I spend a lot of time on homework because I like to go over and make sure I understand the subject in depth. When signing up for classes, I try to pick classes that will challenge me and also classes that I think may help me in the future with my career. Before tests, I study extra on that subject so I am prepared for whatever we are tested on. There are certain subjects I struggle with more than others, so I just spend more time on learning that subject. Overall, I enjoy academics because it pushes me to do my best.

Throughout my entire life I have always sought to be the best version of myself that I can be. I believe that through hard work and dedication anything is accomplishable. From being the valedictorian and starting quarterback at my middle school, my love for academics and sports has motivated me to stay focused in my high school career and onwards.

In general, there are many attributes that I believe would make me a strong candidate for the Trinity University Honor Council; however, it would take me a long while to explain all these attributes. Instead, I will talk about the main attributes that make me strong candidate for the Honor Council.

I was a runner up in the philosophy division of Xavier's 100 Level Essay Contest, which is open to all students enrolled in 100 level classes in humanities departments.

This years goal of mine is to get A, B honor roll this semester. Honors class is a class where the hardest stuff is. I want it because it could show me that I am brilliant. It can get me a good job in life. It could also make my parents very happy and show them I am intelligent . I never got honors class.

I have developed a strong commitment to scholarship. As a freshman I set a goal to do my best work possible whether it was on a single assignment or a project within a club. I believe I have achieved that goal through diligence and strong effort. I will continue to do my best work throughout college and for the rest of my life.

In school, academics have always been my first focus. I have received awards for excellence in Social Justice, Social Studies, English, French, Yearbook, Community Leadership, and Media Services courses, and I have been on the Principal’s List Honour Roll (for straight A achievement). In class, I am the person who asks questions and investigates concepts deeply. I want to always be proud of my work and push myself to improve, seeking feedback and looking for ways forward.

Academically, I am dedicated and determined in my desire to be successful. One of the main regrets of my school years was the failure to recongise the significance and importance of my education. Since then I left my graduate job and have devoted everything I can to strive for excellence and academia, and throughout this have discovered a love for the classroom and the ability to show that anything is possible in life if we truly believe in our goals and dreams.
