Personal Statement: My Strengths

A National Junior Honor Society member must be a good person and student. They must exemplify the five pillars of NJHS, scholarship, character, leadership, citizenship, and service. Here is how I exemplify these five pillars.

One of the first NJHS pillars is leadership. I am a leader at school, home and at dance. Excelling at several school subjects and helping others who are unsure or don't quite comprehend ideas or concepts helps me grow as a leader. At

At church, in addition to my participation in the worship services, I volunteered at our church’s soup kitchen, medical camps and elementary school for underprivileged children. These experiences opened my eyes to the deprivation of love and care in the world and a dire need of God’s grace for people at large so they could receive forgiveness, healing and restoration in their lives.

In conclusion, It is important to have leadership, good character, give service, and be an upstanding citizen. It would be an honor to be inducted into NJHS. Therefore, I have the qualities to be inducted to the

I, Patrick Moore, want to join NJHS, and I exemplify the five pillars of NJHS necessary to do so. The five pillars of NJHS are scholarship, character, leadership, citizenship, and service. I show these qualities through my everyday life, by going to school, doing community service, and by participating in extracurricular activities such as sports and clubs. These five qualities are more than just things in NJHS to me because I take these qualities and try to incorporate them into my life. I do this because they are important and meaningful to me.

The characteristics of outstanding scholarship, leadership, character, service and citizen definitely apply to me as an individual. The characteristics of outstanding scholarship apply to me as an individual because I have maintained a 4.0 grade point average for the first two trimesters and will continue to maintain a 4.0 grade point average. The characteristics of excellent citizenship relate to me because I have never gotten suspended, expelled, or a detention and have never had excessive tardiness. Not to mention, I demonstrate participation and involvement in all my classes. I display outstanding character because I show the highest standards of honesty and reliability and I consistently exemplify desirable

The four pillars of National Honor Society are scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Service has shown me that giving my time back to others not only helps them, but helps me in my development too. I love giving back my time through volunteering at my church to being a part of my school's student council "Cadet Council." I consider myself a very good leader. I love leading in group projects, I have served several positions in my 4-H group, and I have recently led a Hat Drive during Christmas to raise money for families who couldn't afford presents. Character means someone who is respectful, responsible, trustworthy, fair, caring, and a good citizen. I always try to do all six of these things everyday. Being out for sports, band,

As a potential member of National Honor Society, I believe that it is essential to balance scholarship, character, service, and leadership in my life. I have made it essential to try and express these values everyday both in and out of school. Personally, scholarship is the most important cornerstone of National Honor Society to me, and it is also what I spend a majority of my free time hoping to enhance.

These include the National Honor Society (NHS), Student Government, Future Farmers of America (FFA), Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Yearbook, Band, and Cheerleading. Extracurricular activities help develop teamwork and leadership qualities and are encouraged as a good way to help round out the school life of JHS

Every NJHS member has different qualities, but there are five significant ones that they have such as leadership, citizenship, character, service and scholarship. These qualities are used every day by those members that determines who they are.

My service ministry was Kentucky Refugee ministry. I mentored a refugee family who are from Cuba and helped teach their daughter, named Maria, English. I also helped teach them cultural aspects of America, like how we shake hands when we meet someone new, and we wave to people we know. Through my work I have meet one of the kindest, funniest, most generous families I have ever met. They have little to nothing but they are always offering to help. Maria is learning English quickly and is able to communicate with complete sentences. They are always eager to learn and work hard for their children and families.

Volunteering to feed the homeless is truly an eye opening experience to what reality is. There is an estimated one hundred million homeless people in the world who are starving and are trying to find a way to survive. On a day-to-day basis, we see homeless people everywhere such as on the streets, by the freeway asking for money so they can feed themselves, or maybe even feed their own family. One day, my mom and I decided we had to take action after witnessing so many homeless people on the streets.When people are in such a difficult situation, their only option is to beg for money because they have no roof over their head, and no food to eat. Many of these people are suffering from their own decisions, unemployment, or for other personal reasons. There are many homeless people who are sick and suffering from severe mental illnesses. It breaks my heart seeing homeless people in the streets, so I knew I had to take action and help out someway. The experience of volunteering to feed the homeless was most certainly a life changing experience. It made me realize how grateful I am for my life, how important it is to help those in great need, and to never take a meal for granted or roof for granted. This event was one that happened in the spur of the moment but has also changed me as a a person by becoming more involved and helping out more in my community , learning to never taking anything for granted, and by not assuming all homeless people are bad people as such.

Throughout this interview that was conducted with my brother I learned a lot of things about myself that I never knew before, which will certainly help me in the future when I will be applying for work or volunteer positions. According to my brother I have many strengths, skills, qualities, talents and things that I need to work on. During the interview with my brother he said that my strengths were hard working, considerate, easy-going, generous, responsible, patient, passionate, loyal, dependable and determined. I never knew I obtained half of the strengths he mentioned but when he did I was stunned that he thought all of this about me. I also notice that all of these strengths is important when applying to careers or volunteer work because a manager will want to hire someone that is hard working and

positive impact on those around me was when I volunteered for a charitiy event for Driscoll Childrens

The purpose of this memo is to evaluate my listening skills, assess my strengths and weaknesses, and describe how I can improve my skills. My listening self-assessment score of 36 indicates that, although my skill level is decent, I have room to improve significantly. I regularly attend professional meetings where either informational listening or critical listening is required. Despite this, I consider my listening skills subpar and am aware of my need for improvement. In understanding how I can improve, I must first assess my strengths and weaknesses.
