I believe in hard work, perseverance, and leadership. If one works hard at something one can achieve anything that they put their mind to. How hard one work shows a lot about their character, especially when no one is watching. I believe that getting involved in extracurricular activities helps me get more involved as a leader among my peers
Joining Honor societies such as the National Honor Society, the Science National Honor Society, and Rho- Kappa helped shape my character as a leader. Stepping out of my comfort zone and doing something for our community is really an experience everyone should get once in their lifetime.Not everyone is fortunate enough to do such exciting things. Each honor society has meeting certain number of time each month. I remember walking into the classroom where we had the first meeting and

Becoming the Vice President of the International Club made me realize that having a lot of responsibility gives you the opportunity to explore your knowledge and leadership skills. I was responsible for planning and hosting meetings, managing the activities, and hosting the club’s “International Dinner” every year. After getting the experience of the vice president, I received an opportunity to become president of the Science National Honor Society. First, I felt like I wasn’t the right candidate for this position because I felt like no one would take me seriously because most of the people in the society didn’t really know me, but looking back at what I was able to achieve it made me realize that nothing is impossible to achieve: just have to have the potential to do it. Keeping that in mind; I took the position of the president. As I started to let myself just go for it. It automatically boosted my self-esteem. As a president, I have to make plans about events, manage the schedule of the society, and lead meetings. Which I am becoming good at as days are passing
Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.
During my high school career, I have participated in a large majority of the clubs available to me, and held officer positions in most of them as well. In both the National Honor Society and Medical Connections Clubs I am a member of two and four years respectively, and was elected treasurer of both for the 2017-2018 school year. National Honor Society has also given me many community service opportunities, including helping with the Night to Shine organization and a volunteering at a local nursing home.
First, I believe that my involvement with the National Junior Honor Society will help me to prepare my future as a leader. John Maxwell once said that “ a leader is one who knows the way,
Science has always intrigued me. Therefore, being able to join the science honor society and explore its activities brings me euphoric joy. Joining the society would allow me acquire more knowledge about science. It would also provide me a platform where I can share my ideas on various topics in science. For my undergraduate degree, I plan on majoring in neuroscience as a stepping stone to medical school. I am curious about the brain and all its hidden potential that has yet to be explored by man. I am also interested in stem cells and their uses, and I would like to go into in-depth research about them for the science honor society project.
Reaching my goal in becoming a member of the National Honor Society would give me a great sense of pride both academically and personally. As a person I have ambition, academic excellence, and great decision making skills to offer NHS. I have been striving to do my academic best for a chance to be in the NHS, I show this with my 3.5 GPA. The National Honor Society is based off four pillars: Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character.
In 6th grade, I was chosen to participate in a leadership program at Richard Hull Middle School. At this program, I worked with girls who possessed similar leadership qualities, and I learned more about what it is to be a good leader. This leadership position taught me what makes a good leader. For my three years in high school, I dreamed to be in NHS. This is not only a role, but also a responsibility. This past year, I was selected as one of four board members of the Youth Church Committee. I was placed in charge of organizing quiz meet, dance, and banquet programs in which it would occur at various times throughout the
Being a leader is a valuable skill, not just for the National Honor Society, but also for life. Leaders must take initiative and make hard decisions, even when it is difficult. I am one of the leaders of a praise team group for my
To be the caring person I say I am, I learned to be very observant of others around me. At my school I earned the position of president of our Future Health Professionals chapter (HOSA). HOSA is a peer-led club brought together with a common interest in a future medical profession. My first year of being in HOSA, my president started to show me all the paths in the medical world. Later in my high school career, I knew I could do the same for others. So I became president after my former said president left for college. For me, being president isn’t a title. It is a responsibility to do everything in the best interest of everyone in HOSA. By becoming president, I am able to set projects in place that provide everyone with hands-on experience. This way I can help students get a finer understanding of the medical world. I observe to make sure that everybody is getting the best experience I can provide. If I can help one person find their path in life, then I believe I did the best job as president I could
First of all, I would like to thank you and the Honor Society for this humbling opportunity for me to join the National Honor Society. This is a chance that I have been hoping for since the first time I heard of this organization, how it can help those who belong to it and how they have in turn help those of their community. I hope that this expression of my thankfulness has not been a waste of your time.
Throughout high school, I have served in several leadership roles that have shaped me into the person I am today. I have been active in student government, most recently as student body president. In this role, I communicate directly with administration, teachers and students, influencing and leading activities such as fundraising, social and spiritual events. In sports, I am a captain of both the basketball and track and field teams. In addition, I am a leader of a student-led organization called Franciscan Friends that interacts with retired Franciscan Sisters. Through Franciscan Friends, I have learned the importance of giving back. I believe this virtue is central to the Jesuit message. These leadership roles reveal my ability to take initiative, and to communicate across all age groups. I believe that participating in the Honors Program will empower me to continue pursuing leadership
What is National Honor Society? National Honor Society is a group of prestige students that are leaders, scholars, role models, and serve their communities. These students go on to accomplish great things. I am going to give examples of how I demonstrated the qualities of National Honor Society, scholarship, leadership, service, character.
I may not be the best candidate for the next member of the National Junior Honor Society, but I certainly believe I could be a great addition! Overall, I am a great learner, leader and student. I have not had any major discipline problems since kindergarten! I have always had top grades and have been top of my class at some point or another. I have good grades that I always maintain and standards that I never lower. My character is not the best but it certainly isn’t the worst. I try to help out in my school or community when possible but regrettably I have not given much of my time to my school or community. At the end of the day, I am a good student, friend, son and brother.
As a leader, I try to inspire and have an influence on people. I see leadership as a responsibility to be a good role model for others. Therefore, from the people I have interacted with, I make sure no one is afraid to say or give an opinion on something and I’m there to listen. For example, in National Honor Society we learn the principles which are scholarship, service, character and most importantly, leadership. As the Vice President of National Honor Society, I have hope for success in each member. This year the president and I have teamed up to create new opportunities for all of the members of National Honor Society to contribute to our community. Not only do they lend a hand, but they are also willing to come up with new ideas to help,
Over the past two years (2014-2016) I have participated in the National Junior Honors Society. As a member, I commit to completing community service and to learning among my peers in order to develop into a superior leader. I have taken part in activities such as fundraisers, team building activities, and several forms of community services such as working in a soup kitchen, daycares and organizing social events. Recently, I volunteered for a week as a vendor at a temple in Tacoma, raising money for the establishment during the Cambodian New Year festival.
National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society alike have provided the best opportunities for personal growth for a few reasons. As members, we sacrifice our time for the betterment of others. It is rewarding to help those in need without seeking credit. National Honor Society allowed me to reach out to those very close and dear to me in the community, while National Technical Honor Society helped me reach out to communities outside of Dansville, that I would have never had the opportunity to help otherwise. Both chapters were very influential in developing maturity, accountability, and selflessness. Additionally, being the Treasurer of National Honor Society has given me the opportunity to take on a leadership role. Stepping
