All my life I had always loved to help others and set an example. I believe that community service through the program National Honor Society, has greatly impacted my life by showing me how I can put my underlying motivation and cast a full fire of passion. I have always loved to teach and motivate others to try their hardest in school to achieve something above of their expectations. From my love of teaching, tutoring and trying to help understand in "student talk" has always been a strong point to show how rewording something can greatly impact a student's understanding which is all worthwhile. I always make sure to keep my grades up and dedicate time to studying and persevering which has influenced others around me to follow my path to achievement.
Throughout my high school career, I have taken opportunities to be an active community member through community service. Service that I have participated in has given me experience being a mentor and educator. As a link Crew leader, I volunteered my time to help the incoming freshmen in my community/ school district assimilate into their new environment. I went to training, followed a link crew curriculum, guided them in activities, offered advice, and served as a role model for the students. I helped them feel welcome and prepared to take on high school.

Madyson O’Shana Scholarship Scholarship is defined as the “academic study or achievement at a high level”. Some people think of it as just an allotment of money that a school grants you, but it not just that. Scholarship has a deeper meaning. Being a scholar is not just about having great grades, but doing everything to the best of your ability and constantly working hard. Scholarship is one of the factors that National Honor Society prides itself on because this allows them to pick members who are driven, have ambition, and goals they would like to reach.
The National Honor Society is based off of four pillars; Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Scholarship is one of the most important pillars to me. Scholarship means not only doing well in school and getting good grades, but applying what I have learned and using it everyday. I know the importance of education and feel that I am a lifelong learner. I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a family where education is a priority.
It is an honor to be nominated for the National Honor Society. The fact that I was nominated proves to me that all of my hard work and dedication has not been for nothing. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students who strive to achieve their best not only in school but in themselves and the community. I believe that I’m one of those students. Based upon my last two year at Matawan Regional I now have a 3.9 GPA and am ranked in the top 20% of my graduating class.
I have always wanted to help others and now I’ve been working on being a global citizen who is aware of important world issues, regardless of their benefits towards me. I’ve been much more informed about politics and social issues, and this has led me to want to make a difference in people’s lives. Art has also been an important aspect for me and I hope to one day use this to teach others, influence others, or lead people to appreciate art. My family has really have helped shape me into what I am now.
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.
There are several different qualities that make up who I am as a person, but there are four that stand out when it comes to being a National Honor Society member. These include character, leadership, scholarship and service. To begin with, I feel that character is an important quality to possess. In school, I have never been written up for violating code or have served a school detention/suspension and I hope not to in the future.
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.
It is an extraordinary honor to be considered as a candidate for the National Honor Society. Being considered means I have achieved my goal in demonstrating my determination- in school and outside of school- and my willingness to aid people in my community. Being a part of such a prestigious organization is an enormous responsibility to which I will fully devote my time. Ever since I was a freshman, my goal was to work diligently to be among the highest scholars and to be accepted into this scholarly “hall of fame”. Through my relentless hard work and perseverance, I believe that I possess the four characteristics of a National Honor Society member- leadership, service, character, and scholarship.
The National Honor Society is built upon four founding principles: Scholarship, Character, Leadership, and Service. I have a high school life filled with dedication to these four principles on the Spiritual standpoint, the Familial level, the Community level and finally at the National level. Moreover, I did begin my dedication to these same four principles even before this starting with the Boy Scouts of America and this commitment will continue along with having a rich future when I reach my fullest potential. I firmly believe that to have academic excellence is giving your best effort to maintain not just having straight As and a high GPA at or close to the edge of attaining a 4.0, but to also have the skills that help you perform your very best in college and beyond. To recap, it is having a well-rounded education with just the right academics and activities best suited to your
Service, Leadership, and Character have been a big part of my life. Living with a family that values hard work and dedication, I have taken my education seriously. Since I was young, I've wanted to get the best grades. Being involved in band and sports has helped me develop the necessary skills for success in school and work. Being in the band has given me opportunities to help and give back to others.
The Collegiate Academy saved me a lot of what people worry about, money. According to the Henry Ford College website, the tuition for a Dearborn public school resident at Henry Ford is $92-194 per credit hour. The cost varies depending on the class level. Since an associate 's tends to consist about 60 credit hours of majority lower level classes, I have saved at least $5,520 with the Collegiate Academy on the credit hours alone. That may be cheap compared to other colleges, but most students do not have that quantity of bills on hand to spend on school alone.
Though I have not realized this trait previously, I have currently implementing my ability to lead and assist the community. In my latter years of high school, I have volunteered with many organizations and have had leading roles in these organizations to build the society as a whole. For example, I volunteer with North Carolina Teen Court Association and One Step Further Inc.. In Teen Court (aka Peer Court), Students volunteer as jurors in cases where children 17 years and younger have committed misdemeanor crimes in school and are given the opportunity to correct their mistakes by volunteering with the community and participating in rehabilitation services tailored to their specific crimes. If the children cooperate with the services provided for them, they can have their criminal record expunged.
I am incredibly thankful to have been taught how to treat others well and how to surround myself with good people. It can be hard to stay true to yourself in high school, but I have a wonderful family who has supported me throughout my entire life. This border will enhance my actions in the future by helping me to see what’s right and wrong in every situation and knowing how to behave accordingly. Volunteering in my community is also a big part of my life because I want to help others in any way that I can. I want to be someone who has left a positive impact on their community.
