St. Dominic Major Accomplishments

I have several notable accomplishments, most of them are of academics. Some of the awards/accomplishments that I can recall ever since I was in middle school are: First position on spelling contest, department award for the most Helpful student, Student of the quarter, Presidential award for educational excellence (Gold Seal), 4.0 Honor roll, Indian Classical dance, Achieve3000 state winner, department award for “Excellence in English Language Acquisition,” and Academic Excellence Lettering Award. Among all these awards and recognition, I consider Achieve3000 to be the greatest because it was a state level competition and was moderately competitive to win. In the Achieve3000 program, basically, an individual has to compete with the students

The contributions I have made to my school include participating in volleyball from the fall of 2014 to present. For volleyball, we have collected food for the food pantry, conducted a youth night to teach younger children the fundamentals of volleyball, and a breast cancer awareness night which included raising money to fund breast cancer research. I also participate in dance and softball. For the 2016 softball season I was chosen for the spirit award because of my positive attitude and energy during games and practices. Through hard work and dedication the dance team won conference champs at the 2016 conference competition. I was chosen by my coaches for the Limitless Leader Award and the Sportsmanship Award in 2015 and last year. I have earned a varsity letter in

After receiving the award, I continue to visit the residents at St. Barnabas and share my gifts of music, by playing the piano, flute, and leading group sing-a-longs. I throw myself into my activities and do so with a happy, humble heart. An important quality I possess includes my integrity and respect. I always uphold strong moral integrity and respect those around me. I understand that you must treat others as you would want to be treated, and to be respected, you must do the right thing even when no one is watching. I am a strong leader as I am a person who takes action and gets involved, in order to help others and the team. When I see an opportunity to be supportive and to lend a helping hand, I jump in. I am not a person who sits in the background and waits for someone else to do something. I am a go-getter, who thrives on helping those around me. I am very organized with all of my activities, both academically and socially. I input over 200%. I understand that without a strong work ethic and passion, only the minimal will be accomplished. As Class Secretary for the past four years and as upcoming National Honor Society Peer-Tutoring Coordinator, I remain organized in sending emails, marking attendance, collaborating new ideas and fundraising opportunities, and encouraging others. I am an effective communicator as I understand that each voice matters. I do not speak just to hear my own voice, and I value the thoughts of others. I speak up when I have

Because of National Honor Society, I have become a student who is committed to learning and spending the required time to do the best work that I possibly can. Through diligence and effort, I have personally been able to obtain the level of scholarship that is expected out of me as

Ever since my elementary years, I have taken my education and the work I do seriously. My dedication to the qualities of scholarship, character, leadership, and service have helped me during my high school experience as high school was a eye-opener for a young girl with big dreams. A quote that is to mind when I think about what dedication to scholarship and character means to me is one by St. Jerome; “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.” I have always gone past the point that is the best I can do in my academics accomplishments, building my character, being a leader, and helping others. I take pride in the fact that I work hard, push myself, and excel

Being nominated for Michigan Junior Honor Society is a big deal and accomplishment for me. I really value education and I feel that this will really help me with my education and in being a better person. As my teachers did, I believe I would be a good student for MJHS. I do all sorts of activities in and out of school and in the past I’ve done many things to give back to the community.

Receiving the recognition as a qualifying candidate for National Honors Society gives me great esteem in accomplishment. This translates to me knowing that my hard work has paid off and one of my first steps in the leadership of this community as well as larger roles can be pursued. I believe that my time as a National Honors Society student of Carteret High School can be trusted for the benefit of our society because I have proven to possess the qualities of good character, leadership, service, and scholarship. My time awaits to provide our community with the leadership it needs while at the same time leaving an example of a great student for everyone to reflect on for the betterment of themselves.

To me, honor is being rewarded for my hard work in my academics and demonstrating the highest standards of honesty and reliability. Through my two-year position on the Cleveland Heights’ JV Volleyball team, I’ve learned the value of teamwork. In turn, I believe this has led me to become more creative in problem solving and contributing suggestions to continually improve the standards of my surroundings. In addition, I believe my past semester’s grades, which were all A’s, proves that I am capable of demonstrating a focus on achieving academically and diligently pursuing excellence. Thus posing as an example to my fellow students by representing the scholarly aspect of the National Honor Society.

It is a great privilege to be considered as a member for the National Honor Society. This organization being based on grades, service, leadership, character, and scholarship is exciting to me personally because I work hard not only to achieve these principles, but to display them to others as well. I make it a point throughout my day to offer help, encouraging words, and a smile to the students that I am in contact with. I demonstrate leadership and class on the basketball court by working hard, along with exhibiting a positive attitude toward the referees, my coaches, my teammates, my opponents, and myself. This honor would mean the world to me because I strive daily to demonstrate each of the qualities that this society represents.

I am greatly appreciative of this opportunity to be a part of the honored students in the National Honors Society. Ever since I learned about the prestige of this organization I wished to one day join, and seeing my two older sisters be apart of the society must have been a contributing factor as well. Through the years I have learned to take calculated risks, how to grow emotionally and spiritually, the value of hardwork, and how to learn. I take pride in who I am turning out to be, constantly finding ways to do the right thing no matter how hard it is, and never ending my pursuit for learning and improvement.

It would be a great privilege it be inducted into the National Honors Society, and I am thrilled to be considered for such an honor. Being a part of the National Honors Society has been my goal ever since I started middle school. It is truly exciting to have the chance to engage and make an impression upon the society within the near future. Students who are to be considered as candidates for National Honors Society must excel in four main pillars of success. These pillars are scholarship, leadership, service, and character. I believe that I meet these requirements,

The Vanguard award should be given to the Colima school as their test results are most reflective of well-rounded students. It is crucial that an educational facility not only teach academic lessons, but personal values and morale as well. To have a student who only improves academically is in vain as it is crucial that an educational facility encourage personal values and morale. the processes of learning should largely encompass other traits aside from knowledge. It should promote wisdom and thus students should be seen developing various virtues such as kindness, inquiry, curiosity and so forth as tested by the Pollyanna score and Loki Index. The traits measured by both tests are extremely important and I would want to support a school that continues to emphasize the significance of both as oppose to one over than the other.

It is an honor be part of the Geography department at Frostburg, and earned a 4.0 GPA in my first semester at Frostburg State University, and getting accepted into the National Honor Society. I was never an honors students. In fact, growing up involved a life of setbacks and challenges. School was very difficult for me. I was held back a year in first grade, and placed in self-contained special education classes, I been diagnosed with severe ADD and learning disabilities. While in elementary school, at one of my I.E.P meetings, the teachers told my parents that I would never make it to college and that as a teenager I could get caught up in drugs and possibly be suicidal, And, that I would need medications and to see therapists. Also, the

Throughout my high school career I have participated in many activities and been awarded many great honors. As a member of my high school color guard, I have led as co-captian and captain for four years, traveling across the country to compete. Beta Club has given me the opportunity to serve my local community and create a service project to reach the globe. I was asked to lead the volunteers at my church for the early service in the children's ministry area my sophomore year and I continue to serve in this position. During my junior year I was acknowledged as a junior marshal, a Wofford Scholar, and a Presbyterian College Scholar.
