JMU Honors Program Analysis

I see both concepts in today 's society; however, it seems to me that the Success Gospel beliefs are shown more than Social Darwinism. This may be because people find the Success Gospel reassuring and comforting. For example, today children are told they can become whatever they want and they are encouraged to reach for their dreams. In many advertisements one can see that the majority of America today wishes the best and tries to give everyone the equality they deserve to have to be successful. As a high school student, I am pushed to go to college and get a degree where I can choose to become whatever I want to.

As a future educator, I indubitably believe Honors College will provide a vast variation of opportunities when it comes to achieving my career goals. I will be able to ameliorate educationally, culturally, and also on a personal level. My career goals involve teaching students in a college setting. Growing up, I was convinced that I would have my own classroom one day and I am currently on my way of making my dreams come true. My ultimate goal is to empower students to learn and to embrace the power of knowledge.

Transcripts Throughout my high school career I have accumulated a weighted academic GPA of 3.76. My first two years of high school were the hardest for me. Since I was in foster care I had moved four times in my first two years of high school. Unfortunately my GPA at the time was barely above a 2.0.

Describing my junior year to a stranger would be like a college student describing their junior year. Starting my career in high school is a blessing. You have a good idea of

Of course, I was a student that hoped to attend an accredited university, but in order to, I knew I had to get outstanding grades. I was a hard worker throughout high school, and tried my best every year. I was really motivated to take AP courses as a freshman, unfortunately my school only provided honors, but I found out later that it acted as a substitute, and was accepted just the same. I took advantage of anything they had handed to me. My priorities at this moment are maintaining an outstanding GPA all through high school, and promoting quality leadership in everything I do.

’s but with balancing school and a child, sometimes there just were not enough hours in the day to get perfect grades. Despite the demanding academic and home schedule I proudly earned high enough grades to be recognized on the WSU Presidential Awards Program: President’s Honor Roll and I was additionally offered membership to the Honor Society. I was ecstatic to be offered membership to the Honor Society. Immediately I envisioned myself at graduation wearing my cap and gown complemented with Honor Society Regalia. The thought of wearing the regalia was a significant visual indication of the hard work I did and I was eager to show it off to my family, friends and fellow

Each of the National Honor Society’s four pillars, character, scholarship, leadership, and service, are a part of what the students of NHS embody in who they are and how they act. Character is the sum of who a person is and how they act, be it good or bad. Attaining good character is very important because one’s character will seep out into all aspect of one’s life and permeate into the decisions they make. Scholarship represents the importance of education and learning. Through good grades, high test scores, and academic excellence one develops a love for lifelong learning.

The school I have attended is a college prep school, and seems did a good job in preparing me for college. This school has taught me time management, responsibility, and to be respectful to everyone. These three things have prepared me to being a successful member of the community. I’ve learned time management by, taking honors classes throughout high school. These classes are more rigorous than the regulars classes offered at my school.

There are many activities and classes at Wooster that are of interest to me. One I admire the most is the first-year seminar, where you explore texts, their interpretations, and your own writing. A class like this would be really important to me because I didn 't have something like this in high school. It would have been helpful for me with my transition from middle school to high school and I would take full advantage of it if given the chance to at Wooster.

Throughout high school, I excelled in the classroom and I pride myself in this accomplishment. I currently on course for receiving an Academic Honors diploma come graduation at the end of May. An academic Honor diploma requires each student to take at least three years of a foreign language, at least 2 Advanced Placement classes, and all honors courses for each class, if provided. Occasionally, keeping up with all these high level classes posed a challenge, especially with extra curricular activities, but staying focused on achieving superb grades for collegiate purposes earnestly reassured me to continue to work hard.

Moreover, I want to prove to the community and the school that we can be as high achieving as any other schools

When I first learned that I could potentially become a member of the National Honor Society, I wanted to achieve to become a member. I know this organization does great deeds for the community all around the world; I would definitely take pride to be in the organization that ensures that a difference will be made. I would also like to generate a difference in my generation along with others. National Honor Society always recognizes students that are exemplary in and outside of school. For instance, my GPA is 3.9 as my grades are my top priority in school and that is what colleges will be looking at along with other criteria’s.

Transcripts In my highschool career the majority of my grades were fairly well, although I started my freshman year confused to what career path I would be taking, by sophomore year though I figured out what career I wanted to pursue. Most of my grades were A’s and B’s and the only bad grade I have ever received was a C in geometry during my freshman year. In junior year I started to take honor classes and managed to keep them solid B’s.

I am extremely honored to be considered for the National Technical Honor Society. I have been looking forward to this moment for two years now. I strongly believe I would be a good candidate for NTHS because, I am a dedicated hardworking student who strives to be the best I can be. I also believe NTHS would be a great benefit not only towards my scholastic abilities but also to my character. As a student, I have set high standards for my future, focusing on my studies and looking forward to college.

The first of my short-term goals is to graduate high school as a participant in the National Honor Society. The National Honor Society is a program high school students apply for and if they are accepted, gain multiple benefits from. Accepted students must have have high GPAs, multiple hours of community service, be considered strong leaders within their community and by their peers, and be of good character. It is my goal to become a member of this program because not only does it help with college applications, but it also challenges me to improve my strengths and weaknesses. More specifically, I’m wanting to it to push me to be more involved in the community resulting in improved leadership skills.
