It is an honor to be chosen to apply for the Columbus Chapter of National Honor Society. National Honor Society has always been something I have strived to be apart of. After reading the the criteria for this honor I feel that I have demonstrated the qualities associated with this organization. I feel that I am deserving of this honor because I truly strive to be the best student I can be in school. I work hard in school and always an prepared when it comes to a quiz or a test.
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.
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. Some
There are various things I have already done, including helping several coaches of soccer teams I've been a part of. Volunteering is essential; there are several things I hope to help with. Colleges look to see if you’re well-rounded and willing to
Without the slightest doubt in my mind, making Alabama’s all-state honor band is my proudest achievement. Of all the prideful moments in my life, earning a spot in all-state shines brightest of all; it took more effort and dedication than any other challenge I have ever faced. However, as physically and mentally draining as all-state was, one week later I wanted to do it all over again; this taught me a few things, namely that I especially love music, have an extremely competitive drive, and am willing and capable to accomplish any goal I set for myself. In other words, playing with the all-state honor band is my crowning achievement because it taught me who I am. Most importantly, all-state brought me to the conclusion that I adore music in
One of the many things that I take great pride in is my dedication to serving my community. I think it is extremely important for those who are more fortunate in life to give back to the community, and that is why I joined Teen Advisory Council (TAC). TAC, an affiliate of Youth Resources, is a youth-led group of students from different schools in the Evansville area who serve the greater Evansville youth community through various volunteer projects as well as mentoring programs, fundraising, and civic events all based on the five core values of TAC: volunteerism, integrity, excellence, diversity, and community partnership. One of the most fulfilling service events I volunteered for through TAC is the Dream Center, a place providing after school
By active community service, leadership roles, and hard work, I have learned the incredible importance of academic achievement, character, leadership, and service. Through these things, I have been substantially prepared by the Beta Club to serve others as I depart high school and
Every week I spend time at the Morristown Medical Center as a volunteer, where I am able to help keep things functioning in the hospital at the highest speed possible and hopefully brighten a few patients’ days. Also, I’ve enjoyed helping refereeing youth basketball games for the past two seasons and being able to talk with the kids. It is a great opportunity to give back to a program which gave me so much in the five years I played in it when I was younger. Furthermore, I am excited for even more opportunities to have an impact on my community which being a part of National Honor Society would aid in.
Like plenty of other girls, I never saw myself joining a sorority. I also lacked the self-esteem to believe that I would actually receive a bid from any sorority. However, in my first semester of being a freshman; I decided to participate in fall recruitment. Upon receiving a bid for Alpha Sigma Tau, I immediately felt a change taking place within myself.
I was involved in volleyball my sophomore year in high school, I learned the rules of volleyball as well as some team-building skills. Being involved in a sport I learned to support the other team members, as well as encourage one another. The summer of my sophomore year I participated in the Summer Transportation Institute, where I was able to learn more about engineering by visiting ASU, talking to college students who were majoring in engineering, doing some workshops, and engage in a competition of “roller coasters”. Throughout my four years in high school, I have also actively participated in M.E.Ch.A. Club. My freshman year, I was only a club member, but the following three years, I have been an officer for the club.
I am an active member in a wide variety of activities. I am very involved in 4-H and FFA. Through these clubs, I have participated in many community service projects. I work hard in the classroom and I’m very goal driven. I have a 3.14 GPA, and I strive to do better each and every day.
The transition from childhood to adulthood occurs when an individual is able to recognize the impact he or she can leave upon their community, gaining life skills doing so. An accomplishment that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood, would be best demonstrated by the process and completion of a leadership responsibility when I performed my Eagle Scout Project. I joined the scouting program when I was very young, and have been very active since ever. Becoming an Eagle Scout has many challenges that a young Boy Scout must undertake, including the completion of a community-based project, which is an important step in obtaining this notable rank. The Eagle Scout Project is designed for the scout to learn different leadership responsibilities.
The most meaningful interest that I would like to share is my involvement with the local football program. In my town, football is the one sport season where you can see nearly every citizen in the stands, cheering on our team. I see how important the sport is to my community, so for the last two years I have volunteered as a manager for the team, where I spend up to four hours every week day on the sidelines or in the weight room to ensure that the players and coaches are prepared for game day and practices. Being a manager isn’t that easy, as I have a heavy workload from school already, but we are expected to provide water, refill water bottles, wash towels, jerseys, and pants, prepare game uniforms every Wednesday, provide basic first aid, load gear onto the busses and run errands when asked by the coaches. Even though this list of duties
Next year at Embry-Riddle I plan start studying Cyber Intelligence and Security. Ever since middle school I knew I had a developing interest in the field of computer science and spent most of my time building the skills to excel in my classes. One of the first projects I got to use the computer on was a video for the Oregon Trail. I decided that it would be best to design an advertisement to showcase the facts in a new and creative way. When my group turned the project in, and it was shown to the class my teacher rewrote the assignment according to what we did and used it as an example of great work when recruiting new people.
Although most students despise required community service, these little actions instill appreciation within ourselves and give back with a few little heroic deeds. Our service obligations allow us to learn about ourselves in context to the rest of the world, demanding us to see people from different circumstances, and help those less fortunate. Donating cherished time and energy to charity organizations serves the greater good of society. Therefore, these hours force us to learn gratitude and be little heroes, in a
