Being in 1976, the University of Southern Mississippi opened its public honors college program with the goal to create a vibrant, supportive, challenging community for scholars while attending the university. The atmosphere the honor’s college is striving to create is ideal for incoming students who crave knowledge and the struggle of learning new material. For these reasons, I long to be part of the honors college community while contributing myself to the incoming freshman class. The design of the honors college creates a sought after destination for students who wants a challenge and to exceed the standards of basic classes. For the longest time, I have had to do bare minimum while attending school and still maintain a near perfect average; it is time for this to change. I want the drive brought …show more content…
Furthermore, I supply a mind eager to be molded and determined to absorb as much knowledge as possible throughout the four years in the honors curriculum. Similarly, I am excited to participate and experience campus life and be active with what the honors college community offers and forge lasting bonds with my peers whilst still remaining dedicated to my education and work. Additionally, I provide an accepting attitude towards new ideals and culture. I am a dedicated, motivated, open-minded, social-able, intelligent student who is ready to be part of something great, the University of Southern Mississippi’s honors college. Since 1976 the Honors College at the University of Southern Mississippi has been providing the bright minded students enrolled in its program with an intellectual community, leadership opportunity, and exponential learning in and outside of class. I hope to get the chance to be part of this remarkable
The title of the most ‘Disorganized, Sporadically Planned, Disaster of an Event of the 2016-2017 School Year,’ must sadly be granted the 2016-17 National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. As a brand new National Honor Society Inductee, I was honored with the chance to attend this prestigious event and found myself leaving dissatisfied and disillusioned. The National Honor Society is a well-respected and important organization in the academic community, one that students work hard to achieve enrollment in and colleges view with respect and admiration. The Induction Ceremony is meant to honor these students dedication and scholastic work ethic and pay homage to the Honor students that have come before us. I had much been looking forward the event as a way to show my family how much effort I have poured into my highschool career.
Throughout this past week, thanks to Alabama Action, I have discovered the true meaning of a “servant’s heart” and discovered that when like-minded people get together, we can make a huge impact on the community. Servitude is something that is incredibly close to my heart and this week was the perfect introduction to all that the UA Honors College has to offer to help find ways to leave my mark. Coming into this week, we were just a large group of kids from every corner of the country – joined only by our desire to serve and our love for the University of Alabama. But, in just a few short days, we became a community of thinkers, leaders, and dreamers who formed bonds that will last throughout these next few years and beyond.
As a junior in high school, I was inducted into the National Honor Society for doing exceptionally well in my academic endeavors and actively participating in volunteer events. My contributions through this organization have made a significant impact on both my personal development and my community’s support services. The numerous volunteer projects in which I have participated have prepared me to continue helping others in the future. Through projects such as building houses from the ground-up with Habitat for Humanity, I have developed teamwork skills, discovered my management potential, and increased my social network, all while working to provide services for less fortunate individuals in my community.

Speech for NJHS Induction Ceremony Good evening students, faculty, and family members! Thank you, Mrs. Reece and Principal King, for inviting me to this year’s National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony. Students, tonight we honor your achievements in the areas of Scholarship, Citizenship, Responsibility, Community Service, Character, and Leadership as we recognize and celebrate the choices, and at times the sacrifices, you have made. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The reward of a thing well done is to have done it."
Dear the National Honor Society selection committee, Thank you for the great honor of being invited to apply for membership to such a well-respected and incredible organization. I am very excited about this opportunity as it presents an optimal way in which to further my passion of expanding my mind and bettering my community. Since I entered high school, I have pursued this by taking all honors classes and any Advanced Placement classes offered to me each year. Although sometimes I was not always entirely sure what to expect walking into each class, and of course there have been classes I like more than others, there is no class I regret taking because each and every one has opened my mind up to a new way of thinking.
It is an extraordinary honor to be considered as a candidate for the National Honor Society. Being considered means I have achieved my goal in demonstrating my determination- in school and outside of school- and my willingness to aid people in my community. Being a part of such a prestigious organization is an enormous responsibility to which I will fully devote my time. Ever since I was a freshman, my goal was to work diligently to be among the highest scholars and to be accepted into this scholarly “hall of fame”. Through my relentless hard work and perseverance, I believe that I possess the four characteristics of a National Honor Society member- leadership, service, character, and scholarship.
Today I am deeply humbled to be recognized as a potential member of the National Honor Society. To me this means I have exemplified everything you look for in a student who goes above and beyond, not just in academics but in athletics, the community and at home as well. I have not taken this selection for granted, as I believe would be a great asset to the National Honor Society. I am hardworking, honest, reliable and quite charismatic too. I hold all the qualities required by the distinguished NHS like leadership, service, character and scholarship.
I am ready to board the ship, and set sail – pointing towards a bright future of being an ECU pirate. Being admitted into the Honors College at ECU would be the catalyst to a successful future. As a high school senior, I am considering many universities and believe that being apart of the ECU community would allow me to reach my full potential. Growing up I have always set high standards for myself academically and extracurricularly. I participate in many clubs at my school including BETA club and National Honor Society.
My journey, so far, has shaped me into a proactive individual who will actively interact with fellow honors students and the larger university community. I will strive to foster a vibrant student community through any means available. An essential part of my journey, growing up in my home country, has taught me to value the slightest of opportunities. Such consciousness is an essential value in a successful community. Furthermore, I currently maintain a strong academic standing and have nurtured a polymathic instinct that will both have a positive intellectual influence on the community.
am a person with a very strong character, I take my studies seriously and work hard for what I want. I am very determinate and strong headed. These characteristics are needed for a successful professional. I lounge to become a successful business women and start my own company, the honors college will lead me to the right path to success. To the honors college I will bring global citizenship, community engagement and high academic success.
The opportunity to engage with like-minded peers who are equally passionate about knowledge and intellectual pursuits is invaluable. Collaborating with fellow honors students in seminars, research projects, and extracurricular activities will not only enhance my own learning but also foster a sense of camaraderie and shared intellectual growth. The program's emphasis on creating a supportive and stimulating environment aligns with my belief that education is a collective endeavor that thrives in a community of engaged learners. Moreover, the COAS Honors Program's focus on undergraduate research is particularly appealing to me. As an aspiring researcher, I am eager to engage in hands-on research experiences and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in my field of interest.
It is also important to me that the Honors College requires service work. I began volunteering in a nursing home when I was thirteen and it was extremely rewarding. Moving back and forth I did not get to find a steady place to volunteer for and I am hoping to discover that place in college. The honors college gives me an opportunity for me to be the best person I can be in academics and in character. I respect the amount it pushes it’s students to excel and I am ready to take on that
I am deserving of the Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation scholarship. I deserve this prestigious accolade, because I feel I put in an incomparable effort
The Honors Diploma recognizes students’ rigorous academic efforts and hard-earned achievements. Throughout my Melbourne Central Catholic experience, many opportunities have shaped me into a person who strives to meet goals and overachieves to reach my very best potential. I have challenged myself to strengthen my abilities so I may prosper in my future endeavors. This has resulted in long hours of homework each night, countless amounts of essays, and many late nights studying for exams and tests. Receiving an honors diploma would be illustrative of my hard work and dedication to my education, as it has served as a long-term goal since my freshman year.
The Honors Experience is all about getting out of one’s bubble and not being afraid of change. This trip is my chance to pop that bubble and do something I would have usually never even considered, for fear of the unknown. The confidence I gain from this experience will encourage me to get more involved and speak up for myself, as well as others, a quality that every Honors wildcat should have. This trip also serves as a true test of my
