I was very flattered when I was told that I would be eligible for the National Honors Society. In the beginning, my main concern was the essay. I thought that maybe it may prove to be quite challenging to “brag” about myself, and to prove myself unique and special enough to stand out so I could be accepted into the program. However, considering the plans and ambitions I have for my own future, the essay did not prove that hard considering the incentive I have. Joining the National Honors Society is for the benefit of myself, not for anyone else. One of the most important qualities of someone who wishes to be successful is scholarship. Education and learning are factors that are so vital in being a successful individual. Any career path that anyone wishes to take requires some form of education. I myself …show more content…
If I am involved in my community, then that shows how much I care. Also, a part of being successful in life is being able to focus on other things than yourself. Taking part in caring for my community would help me be a better person and to be more humble in everyday life. Also, like always, I consider how it will help me get into college. Colleges may be more likely to accept someone who is extremely involved in their own community. One of the biggest challenges I have is finding the time to do community service, which is definitely something the National Honor Society can help me improve on. Character is the disposition of an individual that is very important to who that person is. My character is determined by what I do in my everyday life and the day to day choices I make. My individuality is very important to who I am as a person and sets me apart from everybody else that may be taking part in the National Honor Society. If and when I am accepted, I will work every day to make my character known and able to be recognized in a sea of others who want to be just as successful as I
The four pillars of National Honor Society have shaped who I am today in numerous ways. Firstly, the pillar of scholarship is much more than just getting straight A’s. It inspires me to learn new things and continue gaining knowledge every day while creating a motivation to take challenging classes and work harder to achieve higher grades. Academics are important because they prepare us for our future careers and act as a pathway to success. Moreover, service proves to be another important pier. I love helping people and take pride in doing so. I’ve put in countless hours working on projects for band, choir, church, school, and the community. Ultimately, volunteering has helped spark my love for others and developed a more compassionate personality.
Out of the four characteristics of National Honor Society, I felt the most important is a character. It’s because it distinguishes how your behavior shows daily the way you carry yourself every day. Got to bat for your convictions about great and awful, be your best self, and oppose social weight to do the wrong thing for the right reason. Good characters show respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship in all their actions every day. “Reputation is the shadow. The character is the tree.” - Abraham Lincoln. The quote explains that character is something that does not change, something that stays with all you that which characterizes you. No other person can control it. Status labeled that other give you, so,
Scholarship, leadership, character and service are all characteristics found in a National Honor Society member. I believe that I possess all of these characteristics and should be given the honor of receiving this NHS scholarship.
The National Honor Society is based in positive core values and beliefs. I possess these beneficial qualities and characteristics that help me to be academically successful and helpful to others. Respect is reflected in my academic success. I respect my teachers and peers by valuing my time with them and the support they provide. A shared honesty amongst us help me develope into a better person. My dedication to my school work, involvement in diversity club, and volunteer work reflects the cornerstones of my core values and beliefs. In conjunction, the kindness and empathy I demonstrate towards others allows me to serve the surrounding community. My volunteer work with Angels of mercy and my church has shown me first hand the effects
Despite the National Honor Society having four pillars in place, this has allowed me to open my mind and see which pillars I exemplify. With this being said, the pillar that most resonates with me is character. The character most closely identifies with me, because of selfless service, integrity, and excellence. The examples mentioned further demonstrate my core values and morals, allowing me to be an exemplary leader in the classroom and outside in the real world. Selfless service is something I take great pride in.
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
When I was fist informed of something called National Junior Honor Society in middle school, I was unsure if I wanted to be a part of it, but soon after research and explanation, I quickly knew that this was something I wanted to join. As I was handed my candidate letter just a few weeks ago, it excited me to have the opportunity of something great that can lead me to new openings. I believe that being part of this society will truly be an honor and allow me to feel accomplished from all of the hard work I have put into school these past three years. To me, being part of National Honor Society not only gives me something great to put on my college resume, but also assigns me with the prestigious task of living up to the four core values of Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character.
As a National Honors Society student one of the four qualities we are to exhibit is service. I exhibit the quality of service by taking out time to go over and beyond the norm to help others, and the community. I have been helping the community and others ever since I was a child. Being an active member at my church, I remember in my elementary years helping feed the homeless at the City Union Mission. My time spent at the City Union Mission impacted me till this day, and now I prepare meals after church for the men that come to worship service. As a Christian it is important to show humility, and to not take pride in myself. I am taught to not be selfish, hateful, or ungrateful, I use what I am taught by my family, the Bible, church, and
I’m a smart, hardworking, determined, courageous, and generous individual. Unfortunately, during my 9th-grade year at Hyde Leadership Charter School, I didn’t display these characteristics. I faced challenges such as missing class time because I was in the Dean’s Area and serving detention. But I am a student who wants to grow and become a great leader. Over the summer I figured out that there was no way I could be both a leader and a troublemaker, so I decided to make a change. I decided to hang out with other people, leaving my old group of friends behind. I’ve found a group of friends that could support me, help me grow, and helped me
I’m so honored, to be eligible for National Honor Society. Ever since my dad told about N.H.S. back in 8th grade, that became my goal. My dad told me that to be in it you need to be an excellent student but, also help others. In my middle school years, I participated in Boy Scouts. But, due to sports and having a job, I had leave. But, a big requirement for them was to be apart in the community. Making you have to volunteer, participate in the different things, helping others,Boy Scouts made it fun. I’ve been lucky to have been apart of it leaving me with much knowledge that I can use everyday.
It is an honor to be chosen as a candidate for membership in the National Honor Society. Academics, leadership skills, service abilities, and character are four principal parts of a superior student. I believe that I am inclusive of all these aspects needed to become a part of this prestigious group. Becoming a member of this organization is important to me, because it will help me get into an excellent college and push me to work harder in school.
The reason that I am interested in becoming a member of the National Honor Society is because the National Honor Society represents all of the values that I find most important in my education and life. National Honor Society requires academic excellence throughout high school. At the beginning of my Freshman year, I set a goal to graduate with a 4.0 GPA. I have worked diligently to achieve and maintain this grade point average while taking several advanced classes. So far, I have taken three classes for college credit and plan to take multiple more during my senior year. Through the course of my high school education, I have realized how important it is for an individual to develop and maintain these studious habits. All of the habits I have developed through becoming an excellent

I am extremely honored to be considered in being in the National Honor Society. I believe that this organization helps a lot within communities and keeping grades up. That is why I believe I should be a member. I know how to keep my grades at the highest they can be, which in my case is a 4.0. I am also largely active within my community and school. I play softball for my high school and hope to be a captain this year since I am now an upperclassman. I also enjoy helping within my community doing things such as work, clubs, and travel softball.
What is character? Character is something that is hard to explain. It is who we are, the way we act, and the kind of person we truly are and want to be. Character is what you are in the dark. But if character is the kind of person you are when no one is looking, then why does it matter? Character matters because even when we think no one is looking, they are. People are always watching us and the way we behave and many will look to us in admiration and inspiration, so it is our job to constantly be a role model of good character. A couple of ways that we can show our character are through gratitude and respect, but we can also look up to others, such as Benjamin Franklin, as role models for good character.
