All my life, I have always done every task I’ve been given to my highest capability. It is always my goal to produce quality work and to do my best. Getting excellent grades and maintaining a high GPA is a part of my life that I prioritize. Education is essential, and I am always challenging myself with rigorous courses. Striving to achieve my dream career of becoming a psychologist, I have made it imperative to do activities to enhance my passion for helping people. It 's crucial to partake in activities that ensure my personal growth, such as Students for Social Justice. Groups like these open my eyes to perceive the world in a new perspective, and it motivates me to want to make a change in this world. I truly believe that my place in society …show more content…
My main goal in life is to help people, and because of this, I want our community to be the best it can be. This desire has motivated me to join organizations such as Student Leaders Initiating Change to organize events to raise money for issues in Holland. An example of this is our current project, the Dodgeball Tournament. The main goal is to raise money to give to a local teen shelter and to battle teen homelessness. Teen homelessness is a prominent issue, and I want to do everything in my power to help out. Volunteer work is another task that I value. Through my church, I have contributed to our community and others by helping those in need. An issue that is close to my heart is Guaymas, Mexico. My church and I do a lot of charity work there to help the vast majority of unsaved people gain an education and find God. I believe that by closely working with my previous pastor in Guaymas, I have developed an initiative to spread God 's work. This will be beneficial to National Honors Society because I obtain the willingness and passion to give back to …show more content…
Being apart of this organization would allow me to cooperate with diverse people, teach me strong leadership skills, and allow me to be fully committed to volunteer work. Cooperation is a value that I highly regarded. The ability to collaborate to solve problems or to accomplish a task is important because the meshing of ideas often results in better outcomes. Different people have unique perceptions of situations, and these differing ideas allow me to enjoy cooperation. Another important value is leadership. Leadership is significant to me because I enjoy problem-solving and inspiring those around me. As a leader, it is unlikely that I 'll be able to solve every problem that arises. However, through collaborative efforts and positive thinking, my classmates and I will be able to come up with a solution together. I believe a great leader must have the ability to inspire those around them to accomplish great feats. Another advantage of being apart of NHS is that it will allow me to fully commit to my volunteer work. Volunteering is an activity that I enjoy. The feeling of giving back to the community is indescribable, and I am constantly searching for the opportunity to help
The National Honor Society, NHS, was officially started by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921. It started in a Pittsburg high school, but quickly grew throughout the nation. NHS has maintained a long history of admitting exemplary students into the organization. NHS developed four main tenants that have helped guide the purpose, as Zeiger (n.d.) explained: "to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote leadership; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools". I have chosen to do the National Honors Society, because it helped me throughout my junior and senior years in high school.
I plan on volunteering for many different organizations, that I am both currently working with, and plan to. For example, I participate in volunteer events for Special Olympic games, The Everett Theater, and St. Joseph’s Parish. By helping
I have volunteered at the Catholic Worker House preparing and serving food. I have also served food at the Salvation Army. I have volunteered at the Cedar Valley United Way, helping them with stuff around the office. Outside of school service I help my grandma, who has had a stroke. I'm always there to help her clean and get around the house.
I see the value in contributing time and work to an organization that helps others in need. Many people depend on food donations and the service and work provided by many people of the organization are making positive impact in the
I am an exceptional National Honor Society candidate because of my record of achievements in the classroom and the community. My accomplishments as a student, a Keystone club officer, a Girl Scout, a Junior Leadership Seminar delegate, and Ramstein cheerleader satisfy the qualifications of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. It is upon these four pillars that NHS is based. As a National Honor Society member, I will use my strengths to help Ramstein NHS Chapter continue its distinguished record of accomplishment in community service.
Of my many volunteer and paid extra-curricular activities, the most important to me is the National Art Honor Society, which extends artistic activities to my community. We organize two school events: the Festival of Trees and the Talent Competition. The Festival of Trees is an event when every school club can choose to donate and decorate a tree that we set up. All of the money raised goes to an organization of our choice. For the last 4 years, we have donated to Street Grace, which benefits the fight against human trafficking, especially in the Metro Atlanta area.
I provide for my familial community by being a major financial contributor in my family. Also, my country, Dominican Republic is severely poor. Recently I got the chance to go to Dominican Republic and my family and myself round up many toys, snacks, and books to give to children. We cook a large meal and go to one of the poorest parts of the country: Hospedaje Yaque, Santiago de los Caballeros. In this annual event we give poor children and families a meal, many toys, books, and things that they need for survival.
As a candidate for the National Junior Honor Society, I understand that is it not important to only have good grades and help the community. Being in NJHS means that you have to be a role model to everyone around you. A role model is someone who is a leader, demonstrates citizenship, and has good character. One aspect of being a role model is having leadership. Honesty, integrity, commitment, passion, accountability, and empathy are some of the qualities that all leaders should have.
I am an active member in our community. I volunteer every month, at least once a month. One of the organizations that I volunteer at is Spoonful of Hope. This organization dedicated to feeding those who were, and still are feeling the effects of hurricane Sandy. They also give food to those who are hungry and in need of a decent meal in our community.
You always behave, get work done on time, respect others, show your manners, and etc. Being a leader means you set a certain criteria for everyone around you and not show them what they should be, but show them that they have the potential to be that and more. To be a leader you must be supportive of your peers, help those in need when possible, you must be able to preserve through adverse situations with critical thinking, and above all inspire yourself and others to strive for the best of their
When I was just a brownie, Girl Scouts was mostly about getting the prettiest patches for my sash and selling the most boxes of cookies, but over the years it has evolved into a much more meaningful activity. At the end of middle school and the start of high school, we did events such as preparing and serving meals at the Branford soup kitchen and organizing crafts for visits to the Ronald McDonald house in New Haven. Both of these events have greatly broadened my understanding of service to the community. While doing fundraisers or various drives are of unparalleled importance, literally interacting with the people my service is aimed to help allowed me to understand how donating a small fraction of time can be a way to try and better someone else’s day. Our troop has also been involved in other projects like fundraising for the local foundation Hope For Raptors, a group dedicated to protecting native birds and educating the community about them.
I will make sure to do my part by leading by example, serving my community and school, staying true to myself, and performing in school to the best of my ability. It would be an honor to be a part of such an extraordinary program in which I can better myself and my community. I am so thankful to the many teachers who have considered me as a candidate for the National Honor Society. As I aspire to become a member of this organization, I will make it my duty to be an active member in my community and will maintain my leadership, service, character, and scholarship
This world is filled with issues and millions of people are the victims of these issues. We not only have responsibility to our family and our community, but we also have a duty to help and care for each other in the world despite the racial and status differences. In the community setting, it is important to take part of organizations that establish rules beneficial to the public. We have a commitment on this earth, as global citizens to be beneficial and decrease the poverty, the shootings, and the plagues to make this world a better place for the present and the
Whether it's helping with cleaning up after an event or donating to my community, I will always be willing to help out. I have many good skills and assets that can help me be better in my community and push myself in school and work. I have a lot of knowledge from over the years. I know how to apply my knowledge in my everyday life
Besides my aspirations to study abroad, I hope to continue developing my passion for volunteering by leading an independent volunteering program for poverty-stricken families in my community at the College of Charleston. I intend to enhance not only myself, but my college and community by being a driven, involved
