Statement Of Purpose: The Four Pillars Of The National Honors Society

The four pillars of National Honor Society (NHS) include scholarship, service, leadership, and character. I have already received this application opportunity due to meeting the requirements of the scholarship portion of NHS, which requires a strong commitment to learning and putting effort towards achieving high grades in the classroom. I intend to benefit the remaining three pillars of service, leadership, and character through my willingness to work for others free of reward, initiative to lead my peers, and optimal decision making.

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.

Organizations such as the National Honors Society have more than just one single objective for students to accomplish. The main goals of a group like this one offer many purposes designed to benefit students’ futures and prepare them not only for their academic life, but their social life as well. This organization provides students with the opportunity to widen their social circle and allows them to meet others who share the same aspirations they hold. Not only that, but with the recognition of academic achievements given through this group, it encourages students to keep thriving in their studies and motivates them to go above and beyond the average standards. Lastly, it also inspires students to improve their leadership skills and to

Many only see the National Honor Society as an organization that will look excellent on college applications, and although that may be true, the National Honor Society is not an organization that can be taken so lightly. The National Honor Society is so much more than a scholarship-granting organization, the NHS is an organization that helps develop the requisite for render service and the development of leadership and character. The growth and success of the NHS relies on not only its members, but also those outside of the organization. Its members can only do so much on their own. Part of building character and leadership is to encourage and rely on others whom are capable of helping. The members of NHS shouldn’t let their pride and achievements

The National Honor Society has very specific goals they would like to achieve. These include creating excitement for academia, stimulating a desire for citizen service, building leadership skills, and developing character in students. These goals seem overwhelming at first, but upon deeper thought I discovered I possess many traits to help achieve these goals.

1) As a Roncalli student, I have been able to participate in many memorable service activities both as an individual and in a large group. From freshman year, I have accumulated the most service during the summer time when I have had the opportunity to be involved coaching youth teams in different sports. This service is the most special to me because it is a way for me to volunteer in activities that I myself love and have a passion for. It has taught me a lot, and I think I have gotten as much out of it as the girls I coach have. Another notable service is the service I was able to participate in with my classmates as a volunteer at Journey Home. This service really opened my eyes to the issues people and families face here in Aberdeen. I was happy that I was able to experience and learn something new while helping a cause and helping people in my own community that I otherwise would have never known about. This year, I was also able to volunteer to be a group leader at a Roncalli Junior High Retreat. When I was younger I always knew it was something I wanted to experience and I loved being there. It was great to meet the younger kids and help them along throughout the day while they experienced a retreat for the first time. I hope to continue these service activities as I get older and move out of my time in high school wherever I end up.

I am pleased and honored to have the opportunity to forego with the process of becoming a National Honor Society member. The National Honor Society’s main goal is be involved and to better the community in various ways. For example, the organization works to serve the community, tutor students, and be leaders within the school. The members put their self interests aside and work to better the lives of everyday people in their community. I believe I am ready to join and help with the endless opportunities that the National Honor Society has to offer. Becoming a member of NHS has been a goal of mine since I entered the halls of Brick Township High School. I fully understand that it takes hard work and dedication in order to become a member but I know that I greatly exhibit those traits not only in school but also in my outside activities. This is a rare opportunity that can only happen in high school and I know that I am ready to be apart of something special.

I feel I should be a part of the National Honor Society because I show a willingness to help others. I try to the best of my ability to be a leader, and I am creative as well as keep a positive attitude so others may as well. I wish to be a part of the National Honor Society so I can take these skills and help others who need my help in order for them to follow on the path to become great members of society.

The National Junior Honor Society and I possess a common vision. I, like the members of this Honor Society strive to make Stinson an all around friendlier environment and spread positivity school wide. I believe I would live up to be an outstanding member of NJHS because, I am exceptionally responsible, and will have an opportunity to express ways to help further our school’s reputation.

I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue my love of performing arts in a safe, creative and accepting environment. Therefore, through my time and influence, I want to give back to my school and community. Every day I strive to share my positivity, humor and thoughtfulness with my peers. I would be excited to be able to help others with a group of like-minded people in the Performing Arts Academy’s National Honor Society. If inducted, I will be an extremely involved and necessary leader in the organization. I will use my strengths in leadership, conflict resolution and compassion to move the National Honor Society forward through scholarship and service.

Academics, Service, Leadership, and Character. The four pillars of National Honor Society have been a guiding principle of my decisions for the past three years. In order to be successful, an individual must strive to excel in these four areas. Over my time in the club I have worked hard to be successful academically, give back to my community, be a leader in National Honor Society, other clubs, and in the classroom, and have a good character. By the pillar of service I decided to join Key Club, which is a volunteer service club. The pillar of leadership encouraged me to be an officer in FFA, Key Club, SADD, and National Honor Society. The Academic pillar has motivated me to keep my grades up na drecieve honor roll and academic letters throughout

As someone who loves new people and new experiences, I am confident I would be an energetic and positive contribution to my class and community. Having gone through two knee surgeries within two years I found that positivity is an invaluable part of recovering as well as maintaining the same drive and passion as before the two injuries. The ability to be positive is a precursor to building resiliency, and is, therefore, one of the most essential traits a successful person can have. In addition to staying positive and upbeat, I also find it imperative to give back to the community in which I live, wherever that community may be. Participating in the National Honor Society instilled in me the significance of serving one's community. Helping the

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.

Throughout every aspect of my learning, I always strive to further my own skills by fully immersing myself into the specific scenario, so joining the National English Honor Society will allow my skills and passion towards English to flourish. In my efforts to benefit my own studies and desires, I innately establish leadership roles in the activities I devote my time to the extent I can, such as Student Council. If given the opportunity to become a member of the National English Honor Society, I will gladly attempt to contribute to the organization’s projects because I naturally invest myself entirely in the things that I do. Being a part of the organization would foster more opportunities in my future where I could continue the passion I have

National Honors Society has guided me to become a better citizen, to help others, and to excel and pursue in my dreams. Leadership is the pillar that has changed me the most. It taught to not just tell others what to do, but to help them know how to do their tasks. It taught me to help others and to guide. Service has taught me to help those in need, no matter how demanding or compact the task. I learned that everybody is needing help in one way or another, and most don't even ask for assistance. However, any aid provided can make an impact. Scholarship has taught me that school is what guides us to our full potential. I would not have fully grasped this pillar without the help of my teachers, parents, and peers to support me and cheer me on.
