Psi Chi : Save The World Project ( James Scholar )

I am privileged to be one of the remarkable students qualified to join Eureka High School’s National Honor Society. I have been looking forward to applying to this organization as it provides influential help in our society. I would be privileged to join this distinguished association because it would provide me with opportunities to get involved in my community. As a hardworking, helpful, and friendly individual, I feel that I would make an auxiliary member to this organization. I demonstrate the qualities that are necessary to join this prestigious society, including leadership, character, scholarship, and service.

Dr. William Harrar’s career in psychology started at East Stroudsburg University. Dr. Harrar graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 1978. He then began using his degree as a residential program worker and then as a program specialist. Dr. Harrar then entered

The National Honor Society (NHS) is a longstanding nationwide organization that provides students, such as myself, an opportunity to be recognized for their outstanding scholarship, character, leadership, and service. The organization allows for students to excel outside of the classroom through many activities. It provides students, actively involved in the NHS, an opportunity to positively affect the lives of others through the various community service activities that are organized throughout the school year. The NHS will also function as an outlet to network with my fellow peers and teachers who are like-minded in the pursuit of success.

Members of the National Honors society gracefully and diligently display four important characteristics during and after their induction. These individuals set examples to others through these important traits: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. All of these characteristics are very important and unable to be fully mastered without the other. But with everything, there is always a core or a center. This core of the traits is leadership. Leadership is unattainable without respect, charisma, compassion, and intelligence. A trait taught through the previous characteristics. But leadership is the base of it all, allowing an individual to put together amazing events and providing an opportunity to others through their actions. A

The National Honors Society boasts of members with significant academic accomplishments, selfless hours of community service, and strong leadership capabilities as a representative of the school’s excellence. Becoming a member of the National Honors Society is a prestigious honor. As a student, I strive for excellence in my academics and have made the honor roll every quarter, showing my aim and dedication to reaching my highest potential. I try not to compete with other students, but with myself. My academics are the result of my hard work, and my dedication towards grades correlates to the dedication I have towards becoming a leader and a role model for the community.

Every successful leader is built upon the strongest foundations. A foundation that is a conglomerate of scholarship, leadership, service, and character ensures the optimal potential of an individual. The importance of these pillars is most apparent in National Honor Society. The scholarship of an individual sets them above the herd; however, their character, the force that drives them to achieve the impossible, is the mold that shapes the leader they’ll become. Furthermore, service opportunities not only open member's’ eyes to the compassion needed in leaders but also the skills in management, cooperation, and perseverance demanded from them in the community.

Cynthia Belar, the current interim chief executive officer. Dr. Belar revealed her story of how she became a part of the APA, after working in several different setting related to clinical psychology and mental health problems. While her career was truly a spectacular one, she gave the intern a valuable advice. She stated that even when she was young, she was not completely certain about which path to take, or what she would do in the future. Nevertheless, she found herself along the way and was able to contribute to the best of her ability to psychology. Thus, she believes that is it perfectly acceptable for students to be confused and uncertain of their futures; through their experience, they will figure out their strength and weaknesses, as well as their choice of career. Indeed, sometime college or even graduate students can be nervous and afraid when they experience uncertainty towards their future. Life should be viewed as a journey, where one will learn about themselves and others, to decide what they want to do, or who they want to be. It is extremely accurate for those who study psychology, as it is a major that enable people to study about human as a whole. On the other hand, Dr. Belar encourage the students to propose ideas and observations about psychology and the APA. A notable suggestion revolved around how psychology can be more accessible to the population. The author pointed out the fact that psychology can be apply to any issues and problem presented that is related to human, and integrated to other disciplines. Most people, and sometime even psychology major student, usually do not realize that other than the traditional practice, psychology can be incorporate into fields such as computer science, business, sport, etc. Additionally, any grave issues can be analyzed through a psychology perspective, learning about how the human brain works and how behaviors, thoughts, and

Growing up with a special needs sister has truly influenced my perspective of the world, which has then encouraged me to volunteer and discover the importance of compassion. As a potential membership candidate for National Honor Society, I have pondered over the word “honor”: what exactly does it mean to be honored? After all, National Honor Society is often associated with being a gateway to scholarships and a status on students’ resumes. Throughout my years of schooling and service, I realized that honor means more than simply being praised for achievements or being labelled for recognition. Overall, I believe I possess the tools to be a National Honor Society member, in which service and leadership are intertwined with my self-development and community mindset.

The National Honor Society is an organization that provides students with characteristics to strive for. The four columns of this organization, such as scholarship, service, leadership, and character, are all qualities that help further develop the student as a person. Not only is a student pushed to excel in the classroom, they are also expected to contribute and give back to their community. These requirements all contribute to the student discovering who they are as a person and sets them on the pass to success. Of course, with financial aid, leadership development, and a constructive society, students will become the leaders of the modern world.

“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” Helen Keller. When reading the first page of the National Honor Society Application the words in scholarship, leadership, service, and character captured my attention. I then noticed that these 4 things were crucial to the program and I became highly intrigued in membership. Although the membership of the program may be pleasing to the eye of the college administrator, it seems to contain substantial scholar material.

When I received a letter from Phi Theta Kappa a year or so ago, I was unaware of the impact joining the organization would have on my personal life. From my engagement with Phi Theta Kappa, I can now say that I have experienced the profound impact such a distinction can have on a student’s intellectual and professional development throughout their college careers. Many would agree that a student’s direct involvement with honors programs and honor societies is beneficial, but rarely is it addressed that these student-based organizations have just as big of an impact on their surrounding communities. By recognizing that these impacts happen because honor societies foster and encourage a specific set of values within an activity system, we are closer to being able to analyze such organizations as effective discourse communities.

I am currently a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society, an international psychology honor society, and recently joined FIU’s chapter of the co-ed premedical fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. These organizations allow me to participate in events and activities geared towards academic excellence and community service in science, values that I believe are fundamental not only to a career in medicine but to being a great student here at FIU. I was also given the opportunity to become involved with Peer-Led Team Learning, a program that works closely with the Biology department, where I served as a leader for several semesters and intend to continue to do so when my course load allows for it once again. In addition, I volunteer as a research assistant for the Child Narratives Lab in FIU’s Psychology department gaining hands-on experience with conducting studies and interacting with children in a research setting. Finally, I am a work-study in the Financial Aid department. As it stands, I am deeply involved with many different aspects of FIU and I only hope to do more in the future. My fraternity has offered opportunities for leadership that I hope to take advantage of such as positions in Student Government. I also have plans to apply for a role on the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution’s Student Conduct Committee to be more active in the campus

The world is round and climate change is real. Present Obama was born in the United States and the September 11th Terrorist attacks were not an inside job. We actually did on the land on the Moon, the government is not trying to control us through chemical trails, and social psychology is vital for a patient’s health and wellness. The human mind and psyche are a powerful force of nature with robust and unwavering effects. Beyond controlling every aspect of our behaviour, our psychology and unique psychological experiences distinctly affects every medical or health-related issue we will experience in our lives.
