The Four Pillars Of National Honor Society

Being a part of National Honor Society means that I am held at a higher standard than most students. I am to uphold the four pillars of National Honor Society, which are service, scholarship, leadership, and character. All four aspects of NHS have been important in my life and have shaped me into who I am today. Being involved with and serving my community has given me a better understanding of the needs of a community. I have had the opportunities to help people, which brings me joy, and gives me a way to reach out to my surrounding area. Being a good scholar has meant the world to me all of my life and it has begun to pay off. I see myself excelling in areas of life that some struggle. It has also helped me get into good colleges and have

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,

Throughout my high school career I have demonstrated the four pillars that the National Honor Society is built upon: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

In addition to scholarship, National Honor Society emphasizes community service. I have a passion for service and have been involved in service projects through my church, Dance Team, FFA and 4H. As I reflect on all of the community service events I have assisted in, I have realized that each time I have helped others, I have grown as a person. I have learned to be appreciative of all of the opportunities that my situation has provided for me. Leadership is yet another quality that National Honor Society builds. I have worked on developing my leadership skills through my participation in 4H, church youth group, FFA, and dance. I would like to gain more leadership experience by helping to organize the activities that National Honor Society has throughout the year. A positive character is recognized and developed by National Honor Society. I strive to always maintain a good character. I work hard and try to be a positive role model as a student, employee, volunteer, and friend. Character is important to me because of the leadership position I am put

National Honor Society is built upon four pillars; scholarship, service, leadership, and character. As a member of NHS I strive to demonstrate these pillars throughout my day to day life. Within my first two years of high school, I focused mainly upon myself, caring only about the grades I was receiving, and striving to better my own education. While I know prioritizing education is important, I know that it is also important to help those around me, whether that be through tutoring or simply reaching out and being a friend to those in need. It wasn’t until I was inducted into NHS at the end of my sophomore year when I realized this. After being introduced to these four pillars, I feel as though my perspective of high school dramatically changed.

The four pillars of National Honor Society-Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service- have helped me in my development over the years in various ways. I have worked hard in school to achieve high grades, mainly for college and scholarship application, but now the scholarship pillar has become part of me. I pride myself on my grades, my GPA, and many people that I have come close, I credit to my grades. This pillar will be applied to my future goals because I plan to attend Florida Gulf Coast University in the Honors College, in which I have already been accepted into. Leadership has shaped my development because of the personality I hold today.

In group projects I am known to take the lead and to guide the group from start to finish. In class people look to me for help or guidance, and my friends seek me out for advice or aid. I’ve always aspire to be a person that my peers look up to; I have strived to become that person my whole life. I am proud of my leadership skills and hope that by being in National Junior Honor Society, my fellow students will see me as an example of a respectable and worthy classmate.

The four pillars of National Honor Society have shaped me into the person I am today. Scholarship is a very important pillar. Without knowledge, there is no future. If I do not want the knowledge that is given to me, then I cannot succeed. Service is another pillar that is important. Helping others without anything in return is one of the best feelings in the world. It is something that allows people to do a small gesture that is an act of kindness. The commitment to service that I have is extraordinary. Knowing that my service can improve or help someone out is enough of a reward. Leadership is a big role that has been played in my life. Without leadership, I would be a responsible older sister, aunt, cousin, niece, or granddaughter. I have

While there are many different organizations throughout the community that focus on service and helping others, what truly sets National Honor Society apart in my opinion is the emphasis that is put on leadership. While I have always been told that being a leader is important in daily situations and for future careers, I didn’t realize that leadership played such a relevant role in community service until this past year when I experienced it firsthand. I signed up to volunteer at a senior citizen Christmas party thinking I would just show up, get told where to help out, and then hopefully go home with some extra Christmas cookies, but what I didn’t expect was that I would be the one taking the reins and that my skills as a leader would be put to the test.

National Honor Society is a highly looked upon club that helps around the community as well as focusing on how important education is. I believe that NHS is a good fit for I feel that my values align closely with that of the clubs. Over the summer I volunteered at Stormont twice a week for four hours and I enjoyed it. There is nothing quite like the feeling of knowing that what you are doing is making a difference, no matter how small it is. Academics are also a significant part of my life because I know that one’s future and future career are dependent on the habits that are started in high school. Turning work in on time is getting me into the routine of getting something in by a deadline and showing up every day on time is just like showing

I have applied each of the four pillars of National Honor Society to my life prior to being in the program. The first pillar, Scholarship, has been a driving force since I was a child.

The four pillars of the National Honors Society: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, define what it means to be a person that is dedicated to the betterment of our community. Scholarship refers to the dedication of academic study or achievement. Leadership is the act of providing guidance or direction. Character defines the moral qualities and reputation of an individual. Service refers to a helpful acts that contribute to the welfare of others. Although the four pillars of the National Honors Society have their distinctive meanings, leadership values the most importance.

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.

The four pillars of National Honor Society support me as I strive to make a positive difference in the world. I can’t succeed if I can’t learn, stick to a moral code, and inspire and help others.

The four pillars of National Honor Society are all very important in both my high school career as well as my everyday life. My commitment to my education is how I have attained my current academic success and is also how I discovered my passion in life which is sciences. Whenever I start a new lesson I am never afraid to fail because Albert Einstein once said, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” This quote highly impacts my class participation as I am not afraid to be wrong anymore, but rather I am ready to make a mistake and learn from it.
