Statement Of Purpose: The Honors College

The Honors College at ECU should admit an exceptional students such as myself because I consider my education to be the paramount element for my success in the near future. Although I am a student athlete I never forsake my education for my sport, track, because I know that my sport will only take me as far as a scholarship to ECU but won't be of much help after that. As I consider my education above my sport, I tutor my team mates in math because that's what they have a hard time understanding. Not only do I tutor but my teammates and I also volunteer around the community by raking leaves and shoveling snow during the fall and winter which helps us out if they would like to support the team with a donation. I like to hold myself to a higher

It is a honor to be admitted to be considered for the National Junior Honor Society. Over my first months at Hickory Creek middle school, I had heard about the national junior honors society. In the beginning, I thought to myself, What is this junior honor society? I wonder what they do.

I am interested in becoming a member of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) because it will help boost my leadership and social skills, character, citizenship, and help me to become a better scholar. These skills are important because they will help me learn to listen to other people’s ideas and share ideas with others. Also, NJHS will help me learn to lead and take charge, help my community, and maintain a good GPA to get into a great college. I am also interested in being a member of National Junior Honor Society because my sister was in it when she was in middle school and they did multiple interesting and productive projects, activities, and field trips.

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.

For the past three years I have been convinced that although I was in classes with the smart kids, I was not one of them, but maybe, I am different after all. I was raised with the expectation to have a perfect GPA and to grow up and do something amazing to make a lot of money. Because I did not have a 4.0 GPA from the start, I was under the assumption that I was not smart or good enough and therefore would never qualify for anything, especially not for the National Honor Society. But I worked hard, I pushed myself as far as I could, and never gave up, even through tough times. I made sure that I put forth my best effort and finally, my Senior year, I believe that I meet the standards for which the NHS is looking for; scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

I want to be a member of the National Junior Honor Society because it comes with many opportunities. It also is a huge honor to even be invited to join the National Junior Honor Society. The NJHS is such an amazing program with students all over the nation.

Participating in the honors college will propel me into a greater path in my school and in my entire life. Being a part of the Georgia State University honors college will open avenues for me over these next 3 years. As a student in the honor college, I will have access to exclusive scholarships, internship, support and a network of like minded peers. The honor college will allow me to connect with my classmates that have the same goals and aspirations, which in hand will help us build each other. Participating In the honors college will also enhance my career post-graduation.

I would be honored to be part of the Marshall High School National Honors Society because I enjoy helping out the community in many ways. I like the feeling of knowing I helped out the community. In the future, I would like to take some of the qualities I may acquire from NHS on to college and future communities; team work, communication, leadership, time management, and taking the initiative are all qualities I believe are very important for the future. Being in NHS would help push me to do well in not only school, but everyday life as well. I believe NHS will help motivate and inspire me to go above and beyond out of my comfort zone to try new things.

I want to provide a positive attitude that can help improve the National Honor Society. It might seem like something simple and worthless to some, but to me having a positive attitude in the face of adversity makes me a stronger person. Unlike others whom can provide incredible ideas or stupendous promises, the only thing that I truly offer to NHS is that I would work hard no matter what in order to help the Cardinal Hayes community grow. I'll become a team player that can understand what it takes to properly accomplish goals that the team aims for, when others are looking at the horrible things at the present moment I wanna be the person that anyone can rely on. My personal desire is to help the organization overcome obstacles and to be able

Beating at the heart of the Southern Oregon Honors College community lies a close-knit community that focuses on deeper discussions between students and a student-interest driven content with programs like Take the Lead Projects and Pick and Choose Activities. Small communities, like the honors college, have been a major part of my life since middle school. This is one of the major reasons why I want to be a part of the honors college community. I want to immerse myself in an intellectual space where people take responsibility for their actions and communicate with others in an honest, compassionate way while in a small-scale setting. I think a lot of successful communities do this. When members are comfortable being open about what they want from their community and communicate that in an empathetic way, a deeper bond is created and people can delve into their creativity more because they do not fear judgment.

I’ve always worked towards finding ways to enrich my education from the time I was in grade school and the Honors Contract Program is the perfect place to continue this behavior. I believe I can leverage my driven personality and strong sense of curiosity to be of most value to the Honors Contract Program. My drive can be found in the pride I take in my work. I am very results oriented and strive for excellence to ensure everything I am a part of is my absolute best. I’ve illustrated this during my time with Adept Marketing, where I put in many late nights researching articles on search engine optimization so I could apply my knowledge to my projects the following day. Secondly, I feel I can use my curiosity to develop a collaborative climate

As someone who works in a very collaborative art form, I always love find new people to work with or even just get an unique point of view. I would hope that with in the honors college I would be able to work with a different group of people then I am normally exposed to, as well as create new work with them. I am very much a team player and want to help others that I work to succeed because I have found having this mentality makes others want you to prosper more. Collaboration is one of my favorite ways to work and learn, so having a community that encourages that would help me thrive as well as hopefully help others in the community, because collaboration helps everyone involved in my opinion. I am also someone who is always listening to podcast, watching movies, as well as reading articles, books, and plays, and I love having conversations and debates about as many topics and issues as I can. As an auditory learn I find having discussions about information helps me remember as well as see more deeply into a subject. Because this I often seek to start conversations and this is something that I believe would be beneficial within a community like honors. Also with this community I would be able to get more suggestions on new subjects, and material to look into which I am always looking

Throughout my junior and senior years of high school I took part in Middle College, a program which enabled me to take community college classes at De Anza College. There, I was able to complete lower division course requirements and prepare myself for the rigors of a university. Even as a junior in high school, I knew I wanted to study political science and, eventually, law. This allowed me to spend time focusing on completing my General Education requirements for a four year university. As a result of this I was able to grow my passion for political science and the decisions that shape our country. Middle College has allowed me to develop into a more critical thinker and gain confidence in my academic ability. In Middle College the required
