“Now as you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse, knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love we have for you, may you excel in this gracious act also” (2 Corinthians 8:7). I have gratitude towards God for gifting me with so many outstanding capabilities. I show my thankfulness by aiding to the necessities of others. I have been blessed with not only the advantage of wanting to learn, but also the motivation to succeed with the guidance of God. My goal is to be sincere in everything that I accomplish in and out of school. I demonstrate the pillars of National Honor Society through my determination to learn, my willingness to give back to others, my ability to stand up for a righteous cause, and the way that I strive to always do the …show more content…
I step out of my comfort zone to make sure the less fortunate are being taken care of. There are specific causes such as Pro-Life, that I would stop at no ends to fight for. God has given me superlative leadership abilities, and I use them in every situation necessary. Even in sports, I have been chosen for both basketball and softball to be team captain. As captain, you have to put the needs of the team before your own. It takes monumental strength and courage to lead a team. You take on the responsibility for winning the game, and making sure everyone gives their maximum effort. I also demonstrate my leadership skills on Student Council. I must make my voice heard for the enhancement of the school. The principal way you can show leadership qualities, is by disregarding your own feelings and making the right decision for you school, team, cub, …show more content…
I show my character by being respectful to every adult in my life: my mom, my teachers, and my coaches. I am a very strong, courageous, and outgoing person, but I also remain very honest and polite. My faith is the most important aspect in my life. My faith in God has helped me through many challenging points in my life. The way I was raised has influenced me to be confident, mature, and selfless to not only get through life, but to succeed in it. I make it my obligation to signify the four pillars of National Honor Society everywhere I go. I know that I am evaluated on my character and abilities in and out of school. That makes me responsible to represent not only SHDHS, but my family, my clubs, and my sports
There are many people in my life that I know who exemplify the character aspect of National Honor Society, but there is one person who stands out from all the rest. This person is my mother. My mother whose name is Jerilynn Bell has many traits about her that makes her character stand out to me. She is the most selfless, hardworking, and honest person I have ever met. I remember as a kid seeing my mother go to her seven to three job and then come home exhausted.
Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” He believed that with determination, struggle, and intellect one can achieve the impossible. By the same token, my perseverance, dedication, and tenacity have allowed me to work with others to achieve a common goal. I strive to become a member of the National Honor Society because I possess qualities of the organization’s Character pillar, which is a worthwhile experience, and have a unique humanitarian service project idea that would follow the pillar of Service. By virtue of my trustworthiness, reliability, and courtesy towards others, I model traits of the National Honor Society's pillar of Character.
The National Honors Society is an organization that recognizes those who have shown the potential to adhere to the four pillars of society. The four pillars the National Honors Society sets its merit and foundation would be scholarship, leadership, service, and character. During the time that I have been a part of Nation Ford High School, and even the time preceding my high school years, I feel that I have accurately satisfied the requirements and applications of the four pillars which are noted above. Beginning with the first pillar of scholarship, I have managed to maintain an unweighted GPA of 4.0 with a weighted average of 5.15. I have worked effortlessly and effectively to make sure my grades were always in the highest percentile to
The pillar of scholarship has taught me to appreciate the people in these groups as they guided me towards my academic goals. Sharing their advice, they have taught me to take pride in my work and my dedication to getting things done. I not only learned to keep my grades high, but I enjoyed the work and kept enriching my knowledge. Attending the National Honor Society and other groups allow me to set priorities, a skill that gives me the ability to manage my time. Managing my time is what helped me maintain my high GPA, as it was always my top
I was taught to work hard and never give up. Leadership is also a very important pillar in the National Honor Society. A leader is a person who guides others with their actions or words and influences others in a positive way. I feel that I am a leader in many ways. I participate in many different
The first reason why I should be in National Junior Honor Society is because of my leadership skills. The first example of my leadership skills are applied to my youth group in the Cecilton Parish. I am the treasurer and help with the Ideas for fundraising. We, as a group held a spaghetti dinner for the church and I managed the money and the setting. Pursuing this further, I actively show leadership in school.
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.
Moreover, I have worked very hard throughout high school to better myself and those around me in the many ways mentioned above. I also serve as a role model, both inside the classroom and out, by pushing myself to accomplish goals even I do not always believe I could, always respecting others and listening attentively to the opinions of people around me, and making an effort to enrich the lives of others. I am hopeful the National Honor Society will help me develop this further, and thank you for taking hte time to read my application.
I identify the role of leadership as someone who takes charge and leads by example. Being a leader is someone a person can look up to like a role model. I have demonstrated leadership by how my actions on the field are far greater than my words. By having years of experience I have learned the way to lead is putting in the extra effort, and my accomplishments demonstrate that. In addition to being a player on the field, I took on the important role and responsibility of being an umpire.
Acquiring leadership skills along with a strong character and the sense to serve others is vital. A leader should be resourceful, dependable, selfless, and a good problem solver. I have led in many ways- inside and outside of school. Last year as a tenth grader, I was class secretary for Class Council.
This definition of Leadership is best restated by my very own father “A person can demonstrate leadership skills even when not in a leadership position.” Throughout my high school years so far, I have demonstrated leadership mostly in the field of Boy Scouting in two different Troops. I started out my leadership trail in Boy Scouting by becoming a Troop Scribe who as per se the Boy Scout Handbook, 2016 Edition “The Scribe attends and keeps a log of patrol leaders’ council meetings. He records attendance and dues payments of all troop members and records advancement in troop records and on the troop advancement chart.” After that, I ascended into becoming a Patrol Leader and then acting as a Senior Patrol Leader, the highest youth leader of the troop, handling all patrols’ affairs and coordinating with the Scoutmaster for advice and consent.
I am willing to help in any way that I can to volunteer my time to help out the community and to help those in need. I volunteer at the food pantry, make Valentine’s cards for the nursing home, and collecting donations for The Heartbeat Center. The leadership pillar has shaped my development by becoming an excellent leader. I am willing to sacrifice my time to change other people’s lives. For example, I attended the Relay for Life meetings instead of spending time with my friends.
Leadership is about holding your own ground while helping others reach their own. It is about loving to live and living to love. I have learned basic skills like public speaking and time management, but I have also learned how to overcome obstacles. In some smaller cases I have made a difference in lives. I have inspired kids to do more for their community and to reach their goals.
I strive to be a leader in and out of the classroom. In general, I try to encourage others and provide my help when needed, every day at school. Whether it is helping a friend out in math at lunch or being a leader by example through doing my homework or volunteering in class, I try to lead each day. As well as in the classroom, I strive to be a leader when I play sports. As a three sport varsity athlete, I spend lots of my time on the court and on the field working to better my game and myself.
Leadership, in my own words, is when you are there to provide support for your group as well as provide a sense of clarity and understanding for what their task is. When you are put in a group and you take charge you are being a leader. During the club volleyball season I was asked to be team captain. The team unanimously voted for me. As team captain I was required to attend all practices and tournaments.
