In The National Honors Society, there are four pillars that an NHS Member should exemplify. These four pillars consist of Leadership, Service, Character, and Scholarship. I think that I would be a good candidate for NHS because I exemplify these four pillars. First, I have leadership qualities testified by my numerous leadership positions across multiple fields. Another trait that I support heavily is service. I support this trait by the plethora of community service activities I participate in both community and world wide. Following service is character which can signify numerous things from courage to compassion and honesty to loyalty. This trait which is much harder to express in words is sprinkled all throughout my life in scenarios both big and small. The last trait is scholarship which I will not prattle on about because as stated in the rubric I already qualify in this category. To start off with I display …show more content…
For example, one of the leadership positions I hold is Boy Scout Chaplain where I am in charge of all religious activities for my troop (Troop 197). This activity is very malleable and what is done is completely up to the Chaplain. For instance, if I wanted to teach a sermon or do a prayer at mealtimes that is completely under my control. This may show you that this is a huge responsibility and I must make sure that I don't become non-complacent and stop performing my duties. Another of my many positions is in my local church Lake of the Woods Church. Here I serve on a leadership team charged with not just the duties of being a role model for our Youth Group but also with assisting teachers, leading small groups, and making any new attendees feel welcome. The next of my many
Examples of both my character and ability to serve present themselves in Color Guard and Softball. Leadership is present in the two years I served as captain of the Black History Quiz Bowl. My duties included motivating my team and helping them study while simultaneously memorizing my own information and being the official spokesperson for the team. Being captain required me to help my team after hours as well as provide insight on to them on how best to prepare for the competition. During 4-H camp over the summer, I was one of three counselors assigned to a cabin of 25 prepubescent girls, for whom
Although I do not have a position in leadership yet, I believe that leadership does not only apply to large-scale events, but group work and responsibility in oneself's own actions as well. To me, leadership does not mean that someone can boss the entire group around, but to create a positive relationship with peers. Being able to build trust among your associates is the fundamental base of a relationship with the people that will be part of your life, which is also an essential part of leadership. I decided to join STEM, which allowed me to understand my potential with leadership. During group projects, we would make decisions together as a group, instead of separate individuals arguing over what to do.
A have been a member of the National Honor Society for three years. It has been a true honor to be a part of such a wonderful organization. NHS has taught me many qualities that I use everyday and plan to continue to use through the rest of my life. The National Honor Society is associated with the four pillars – Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.
I believe I display all of the qualities mentioned in the four pillars of National Honor Society. I am a person of good character who displays the six pillars of character in everything I do. I provide leadership and service in many ways and value education as a lifelong learner. Being a member of the National Honor Society would motivate me even more to be the best version of myself and help to create change in positive
The summer before my senior year, I attended various leadership camps and clinics in order to better prepare myself for the task ahead. At these leadership
I am extremely honored to be eligible for this opportunity to apply for the National Honor Society. Becoming a member of the National Honor Society has been a goal I set for myself since I was a student in middle school. I have been greatly looking forward to this moment for a very long time. Overall, I have worked incredibly hard these last two years to display a positive character and obtain qualities such as leadership, responsibility, and scholarship. I strongly believe I will be a productive and reliable member of the National Honor Society at Harvard H. Ellis Technical High School.
Being involved in many activities in high school, from athletics to fine arts, has taught me how to work well with others as well as work hard under pressure. One of the many organizations I have been involved in while in high school is student council. I am currently serving my third year as student council president for my class and in doing so it has taught me leadership and organization. Student council calls for many responsibilities and opportunities including, service projects for the community, planning a variety of events for the school, and planning major events such as homecoming and prom. Planning and organizing events has given me the opportunity to communicate and meet new people.
It is a great honor to be nominated as a member of the National Honor Society. There are many reasons why I want to take part in NHS. One reason why I want to be in it is to continue to grow academically with people who have the same goals as me. I want to be encouraged, not discouraged by the people around me. If I get into NHS, it will give me a lot of opportunities to be a leader.
I want to be a member of NHS because I want to expand my knowledge about myself and the ongoing world around me. Being a part of NHS would provide me a plethora of opportunities to demonstrate my strengths and to enhance my weakness, it would allow me to gain experience and make new friends. I would maintain the 4 pillar by staying a hard worker and keeping up with my school work, volunteering and serving my community, taking responsibility and showing leadership and always being the best of myself.
For example, when I commenced in the Customs and Border Protection Explorers, I was assigned as a Group Leader. Additionally, I was also captain of the Varsity Indoor Soccer team during my Junior year. Being a leader is, without a doubt, a very demanding responsibility which requires much dedication and hard work. Nevertheless, I enjoy every moment of
I definitely believe that I fit into Cor Jesu’s chapter of NHS. I have participated in many service opportunities and leadership positions, and while those both demonstrate what my participation in NHS would be if I am accepted, but I am also honest, responsible, kind, respectful, and helpful. The main reason I am applying for NHS is so that I can help others by serving my community, and I can achieve this by using my gifts and character. One of my most inspiring service opportunities that I have participated in was at Cardinal Ritter Senior Services during my freshman year.
I have learned to take lots of responsibility when i am around them and I have had to take on a leadership role in order to be a role model to
Two personal qualities that I am proud of are integrity and kindness. Especially this year, I have started to grow the size of my friend group through kindness. By including everyone, I have started to make acquaintances with many new people. My friends also
A big part of my leadership experience is my involvement in the student ministry at my church. I am in my second year of being a part of our Student Leadership Team which is lucky enough to have a big hand in the lives of many teens from multiple school districts. As an SLT member we are required to do: announcements, that are done at the start of every night; attend leadership meetings every other week, to talk about future events and our direction as a ministry; and teaching a lesson to the entire ministry, at least once a year. Being on this team has caused me to not only grow as a leader, but to also grow as a person in general. Leadership is now a very important part of my life, whether it is in a formal setting like leading a small group in
It is an absolute honor and privilege to be chosen for this prestigious position in our school. Throughout my school career, the only thing that teachers ever saw from me was my grades and school work, but now I have the chance to show what I do in my spare time outside of the classroom. My time is dedicated to helping the community of Windber by doing community service and being a leader to up-and-coming generations, which all contributes to the development and building of my character. Out of these three categories, however, the one that I focus on the most is my dedication to the community. Community Service has been a big part of my life throughout my high school career because of my hourly requirements through religious education.
