Personal Narrative: German National Honor Society

The National Junior Honor Society is an important and prestigious organization that is dedicated to helping students achieve their goals, helping people, and serving the community. Being part of the NJHS is a great opportunity for me to demonstrate my determination and desire to helping people around me. I believe, that I can become a worthy member of the National Junior Honor Society because I am committed, productive, friendly, and most importantly reliable. I meet all the qualities require by this organization, such as academic achievement,leadership, character, and service.

The National Honor Society is for high school seniors who have “demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character”. At John Marshall we really push the “service” area. There are so many different reason I wanted to be a part of NHS; It gives me satisfaction that I was able to become a member of such an elite society, it also is very rewarding to give back to a community that has done so much for me. Each service project I have volunteered at has taught me something different. Since July, I have volunteered at eleven different projects (over 32 hours), and I have learned something new every time. When I volunteered at the Marshall County Family Resource Network’s gift packaging for teenagers at Cameron High and Middle, Moundsville Middle, Sherrard Middle and John Marshall High Schools, I didn’t realize there were so many of my peers in need of simple hygiene products. It inspired me to help and give back to them by donating to Paws for a Cause at John

My sophomore year I was inducted into National Honor Society and in my Junior and Senior year I was a member of National Honor Society. National Honor Society is an organization that benefits the students who volunteer within the community and who achieves high academics. Within the group, I have done many projects such as cleaning the highway, the food bank, and the nursing home. It is a great honor to be a part of this club and give back to our community.

National Junior Honor Society will be a great opportunity for me. If I am accepted into NJHS I plan on keeping up my 4.0 average, balancing between school and outside of school activities, continuing to help my community/peers, and creating a specific idea to make a positive impact at the school. The next 3 paragraphs I will be stating why I will be a great member of NJHS, why it's good to help people, and something I could do to positively impact my school.

I deserve to be a member of the National Honor Society because I feel like I’ve earned it. Over my high school career, I have been through many challenges, but I learned to face them head on with a positive attitude knowing how good the outcome can be. I fit the qualifications to be a member and if I do not fulfill them to a certain level, I will work on how to reach them. Throughout my school education, I’ve always tried my best, even more so in high school. I hold myself up to a very high expectation, I know I can always do better than before. As for volunteering, I am always involved in my community as much as I can. As a child, I was involved in many programs and I continue to do service work with more benefits to my future and character

Throughout my high school career at Wahconah Regional High School, I have done, and continue to keep doing many activities in order to help my community. In addition I have made various accomplishments in many different areas. I should be inducted into the National Honor Society because of how my accomplishments and community activities prove how I fit into the four pillars, service, leadership, character and scholarship.

National Honor Society is known for having extraordinary students whom possess strong leadership, constant determination, and also structured character. Though there are various students who have what it takes to become a member of the National Honor Society I feel that I should be one of them. From the beginning of my Freshmen year, I had a strong desire to find my path early in life and choose a career I would like to pursue as time went on. Realizing my passion for shopping was just the beginning, and though most girls all have this love for clothes I saw it differently, and began to explore the fashion industry by researching and reading up on the latest news. The electives I took in 9th grade, which were studio and art and fashion

I have exhibited the four levels of National Honor Society by the extracurricular activities I am in and in my academics. I have good character as I love helping others when they need it, I express scholarship as I have received an academic letter, through leadership I have helped others in schoolwork, in cheerleading, and I have pushed others in cross country and track. I have showed service through my church where I have volunteered for a food fast, multiple bake sales, moo mobile shifts, and even helping build a camp for the mentally challenged. I do many service activities for my church, but I rarely put it down on paper. With these activities I am an involved member in my community.

It is a great honor to be among the commendable students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society is discernible for showing an interest in students with exemplary grades, great character, leadership, and service. Last year I was enrolled in a tenth grade honors language class, this year I am taking an advanced placement college course. I am enlisted in all honors classes and I strive to do the best that I can not only academically, but in all activities I participate in. I am a strenuous worker and have great character. Everything I try, I give all my effort, for example, in track I show good sportsmanship and cheer on my fellow athletes at every meet. I also show great leadership qualities.

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 life experience that made me diverse was the moment I stepped foot on U.S. land at age three and became undocumented. Being undocumented became my identity. Fear of being deported grew with me, hiding me in the shadows. I never saw past high school, so I started to take advantage of my supposed last years of learning by maintaining the highest grades I could earn. In return, I have been able to join the National Honor Society, enabling me the opportunity to graduate high school with honors. Seeing my journey going from thinking I was not able to attend college because of my status to being able to graduate with honors has taught I am deserving of a higher education. Being undocumented has not restrained me from pursuing my education,

Being valuable is the main standard of my life. As a junior in John Bapst Memorial High School, I have the high desire to contribute my school into a more wonderful place. I hope joining National Honor Society could give me an opportunity on helping others achieve their goals, and a chance to help my school being stronger and stronger.

To become a member of the National Honor Society would be a great honor for me. The main reason why I would like to become one is because of my desire to serve the community and make a difference in people’s lives. Last year was the first time I regularly did community service, which was tutoring Kindergarten kids at McCulloch Elementary. I did not know what to expect: I thought I could volunteer at least once since they were looking for volunteers. I soon found out that I enjoyed it. I came back Monday after Monday, the sweetest moment being when one of the Kindergartners remembered my name and asked why I was not there last week. Joining NHS will also help me gain more leadership experience. I am naturally a more quiet student, so being in

Being nominated as a candidate for the National Honor Society is a big honor, and it means that I have accomplished my goal in regards to serving and being a leader in my community. I believe that I would be a valuable member of the National Honor Society because I am reliable, optimistic, hard-working, and I have the initiative needed to better my community. I am a person who always gives 100% into everything I do. Whether it is my academics, sports I play, or other activities that I take part in, I never see a reason not to put my all into it. I love to help and motivate others to do their best as well. I have maintained a GPA over a 4.0 both my freshman and sophomore years, and I intend on working diligently to maintain it over the next

I believe that National Junior Honors Society can use an excellent student such as myself. Many of my teachers say that I am a hard worker with an amazing attitude. In sixth grade I attended Cambridge Academy and was elected President of my school, even though it was my first year there. I encouraged classmates by competing with them to see who gets the better grade. During my time of presidency I read the morning announcements. At assemblies I led the pledge of allegiance. Student council and I volunteered at the United Food Bank and helped sort food. Finally, I helped organize school activities and dances. I enjoy playing most sports. During sport activities I am often elected captain. Last year I was on the football team and even if we
