Why do you want to go to Archbishop Williams? I think I would thrive at Archbishop Williams. I’ve been told many good things about the school from my neighbor, Matthew Klier as well as a friend, Julia Geary, with whom I’ve played softball for a number of years on our local Squantum team. I’ve spent time in the Archbishop Williams buildings taking the HSPT review course, am looking forward to a shadow day, and can envision myself succeeding in its environment.
I’m happy to know that Archbishop Williams offers Advanced Placement level classes. I am currently in an Advanced Placement program at Central Middle School. Even though I am doing very well in it, I find the pace and the subject matter very challenging. If I continue to manage my time well, I think this would be the right path for me to prepare for college successfully.
I was happy to learn that Archbishop Williams has a golf team and hope I could play on it. My father is a professional golfer who had me swinging a club

I would definitely join the theatre ensemble as I’ve come to love musical theatre over the years. Over the past twelve months, I’ve been in almost fifty musicals, concerts and plays. I think I could bring my experience, dedication and passion for the performing arts to benefit Archbishop Williams. I’d also be interested in joining the National Honor Society and Spanish National Honor Society if I qualify.
Even though Archbishop Williams is in Braintree, it will feel like a neighborhood school because of its proximity to my house and many people I know attend. I spent a great deal of time in a bus this summer being transported to Beverly, MA for Boston Children’s Theatre summer program, and realized I don’t like commuting long distances. I like the fact that the students at Archbishop Williams live close to the school, giving us a chance to get together socially or for community service
During my high school career, I have participated in a large majority of the clubs available to me, and held officer positions in most of them as well. In both the National Honor Society and Medical Connections Clubs I am a member of two and four years respectively, and was elected treasurer of both for the 2017-2018 school year. National Honor Society has also given me many community service opportunities, including helping with the Night to Shine organization and a volunteering at a local nursing home.
When I was thirteen years old, my dad introduced me to golf. I have been hooked on to it ever since. I play golf for my high school and I am hoping to get a golf scholarship to somewhere when I graduate. My coach at the beach told me that the best way to get a scholarship is to play in summer tournaments around my area. I made the cut in the last tournament I played which was a qualifying tournament to go to Charleston for what they call “The All Star Championship”. My trip to Charleston was one of my favorite trips we have taken because I got to play golf the whole weekend, we stayed in a nice hotel, and the scenery was amazing.
Last Sundy I attended my local church, Lansing Woodview Church of the Nazarene. I was privileged to hear our Rev. David Williams, our Pastor of Discipleship, preach from Luke 7:36-50. He was speaking on our monthly family Sunday when we have all ages in worship. This sermon was also preaching in fulfillment of a requirement for a preaching class he is currently taking at Nazarene Bible College.
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 would be a great addition to the Mariner Middle Junior Honors Society. This would be a great opportunity for me to continue to demonstrate my skills in leadership, academics and helping out in our community. I am a hard worker and a good role model for my friends and family. Being a part of this organization will give me the ability to make myself and my community a better place.
Many years and musicals later, as a junior heavily involved with the musical program, my director came to me with an exciting proposition. She’d heard of a program that was being utilized all throughout the world: the International Thespian Society. As the class representative of the musical, she proposed to me that we look into the possibility of our school creating an official chapter of the organization.This program, which would allow students to win awards for hours put into the theatre arts, push themselves to obtain higher rankings on the thespian scale, travel to theatre competitions, and meet students just like themselves at sponsored conventions, was the perfect way for myself and many other students at my school to pursue their love for theatre year round. Being part of this prestigious program would help the musical program to expand by grabbing the attention of students schoolwide with the countless opportunities it offers. The strength of the International Thespian Society would provide a strong base of support for the future of our school’s musical program in a society that continues to cut funding to arts programs of schools
Usually when I tell people I’m from Lenox, Massachusetts, I have to explain that, no, I’m not from Boston, but rather a charming little town about two and a half hours west (without getting stuck in the notorious Boston traffic). But those people who haven’t heard of Berkshire County, or the Town of Lenox, have no idea what this quintessential New England town means to me, and to everyone who lives here. I have lived in Lenox for all of my life, and it has provided me with invaluable opportunities to grow and thrive. From the caring staff at Morris who gave me the foundation upon which I will continue to grow, to those friendly middle school teachers who had patient answers for all of my questions, to the high school teachers who truly care about teaching each and every one of us about academics, and life, to the National Honor Society, and all of the sports and clubs and activities that have made my time at LMMHS great; the Lenox school system has taught me almost everything I know.
If I attend Villanova, I will make community a verb by getting involved through community service, athletics, and research. One project I am particularly interested in is Engineers Without Borders. I would like to help them in their goal of improving the quality of life in developing communities worldwide. It is not only a great travel opportunity, but I would also get to help people in need, and there’s nothing more rewarding than that. I am also interested in the Relay For Life event. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in America and my grandfather died from lung cancer when I was younger. If the cure was found, millions of lives would be saved. I would try my best to raise as much money possible to join the fight against it.
The sport that I have dedicated the most time to, golf, has become a part of me—in my soul. To me, golf is more than a sport; it is a lifelong journey of training to temper myself both mentally and physically. Playing golf opens my eyes to observe the world in a unique way, and it lets me taste the bliss of striving. The Georgia State Golf Championship in my sophomore year was one of the most memorable experiences that influenced me, not only by contributing to my interest in golf, but also by building my character and teaching me life lessons. It did not push me to the road of being a professional golfer, but it instilled the spirits of a golfer within me.
Acceptance into the National Honor Society of Petrides would be a great honor for me. The National Honor Society in Petrides will allow me to connect with likeminded people in the school who have portrayed similar scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship as I have. I have shown my leadership qualities through school events and volunteer work. Service to the school is one of biggest focus of the National Honor Society which I have always been content to participate in. The three amazing years at Petrides, I have served the school by aiding and tutoring students that have needed help academically; while participating in school events and teams showing school pride.
National Honor Society is incredible program that I would be honored to participate in. The philosophy that students can help their peers understand material that they once struggled with really connected with me and my position in the community.The NHS program would allow me to harness all of my leadership skills that I have obtained through my high school experience in and out of the Regis community.
To become a member of the National Honor Society would be a great honor for me. The main reason why I would like to become one is because of my desire to serve the community and make a difference in people’s lives. Last year was the first time I regularly did community service, which was tutoring Kindergarten kids at McCulloch Elementary. I did not know what to expect: I thought I could volunteer at least once since they were looking for volunteers. I soon found out that I enjoyed it. I came back Monday after Monday, the sweetest moment being when one of the Kindergartners remembered my name and asked why I was not there last week. Joining NHS will also help me gain more leadership experience. I am naturally a more quiet student, so being in
First, I would like to be in National Honors Society because I want to help my community and school. I love to volunteer in my community. Over the past summer I did a program called Summer in the City. During this program I would help paint buildings, help plant a garden, and help play with kids in a camp in Detroit. My favorite part was playing with the kids. It made me feel good to see them smile. I also volunteered at the snowman shuffle race put together by berkley. I put together the concession stand after the race. I loved being able to help others put things together. I enjoy helping my community.
Canterbury is an ideal match for me because I am looking for more than a school, I am looking for a community that feels like a second home and family. After completing many hours of research along with watching videos, looking at pictures, talking to students of Canterbury, I could tell this is where I am meant to be.
the National Junior Honor Society because I want to help other people out through our roles in charity and community service.
