Being a part of the National Honor Society would be a privilege. I have been chosen as a candidate due to my academic excellence, but I understand it takes more than just a good GPA. I believe my abilities to be a leader, serve others, and express good character meet the standards set by NHS. The service opportunities that I will have as a part of NHS is what I look forward to the most. I’ve had good experience volunteering to serve others in the past. Most of my service opportunities have been through my church, going on mission trips and helping the local community. Even when there’s no reward, helping others is always satisfying. I look at the required NHS volunteer hours as a great opportunity rather than a homework assignment. Leadership can be achieved in two ways; leading by example, and being a vocal leader. I believe that I am capable of both types of leadership. Most of my experience being a leader comes from sports. I currently play football and basketball. In football, I have always been a quarterback, which means I have always been the vocal leader of my team. As a quarterback, it is my duty to make sure that everyone is in the right place and knows their role in every play. Also, I have to accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong, …show more content…
Character is being willing to do what 's right in every situation, even if it 's not the popular choice. I 've always prided myself on having strong morals and good character. I feel like the defining moment of my character came in fifth grade. At lunch I noticed a kid, who was my friend, making fun of a another kid, who was new to the school and struggling to fit in. I confronted my friend in an effort to stop the harassment, and ended up getting in a fight with him. Of course I 'm not proud of getting in a fight, but, the kid who I stood up for later thanked me. This ensured to me that what I did was the right
The National Honor Society is based off of four pillars: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. School is a really important part of everyone’s life, and I feel blessed that I have had the opportunities that I have had while growing up in McComb Ohio. While attending McComb I have also been blessed with the ability to always succeed in what I do, and I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I have also been blessed with the opportunity to participate in many different activities such as junior high volleyball, school musicals, jazz band, pep band, marching band, concert band, and choir. During my junior and senior year in marching, concert, and pep band I was first chair clarinet and section leader, specifically during senior year I was a field
I volunteered through an organization called Feeding Many. As a volunteer, we planted community gardens where the food produced is donated for those struggling to afford their daily needs. In preparation for joining the NHS, I was an active member of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and accrued over 70 hours of volunteer time during my tenure. As a middle school student I volunteered as a leader for WEB (Where Everybody Belongs). WEB is a program that assigns a responsible leader/mentor for a group of incoming sixth graders to help them acclimate to their first year of middle school.
Nurse practitioner I have always wanted to be a nurse practitioner. My mom has always pushed me to be a nurse, finally I realized what nurses do. I like to help people. I used to always doctor my papaw. I want to be able to help
I am very proud and grateful to say that I have been given the privilege of qualifying to join the National Honor Society. It would be, naturally, an honor to be a part of such a prestigious institution. However, to do so, one must epitomize its five tenets: character, responsibility, leadership, scholarship and service. Being an avid member in the community, I have grown to embody these traits. My experience and upholding of the fundamentals of character, leadership, scholarship, responsibility, and service will readily employ me to play a part in continuing the legacy that the National Honor Society possesses Though I am an active theatre-goer, I know that character is more than a part or role in a play.
Football has proven to me that I have what it takes to be a leader. Ever since middle school I have been a team captain and leader for my team. Leadership does not always come from speaking but it also is shown by actions. I am known for my leadership skills on a football team because I show teammates the way to do drills and I encourage them to follow my hard work. My leader standpoint is not just in football but in the job I have worked for the past three years.
There are many reasons I believe I should be inducted into National Honors Society. First, I maintain an A grade average. Second, I am a leader in my school and community. Third, I am very active with actives in and out of school. These are all great qualities to have.
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
In my eyes, a leader is not a title for one person to have. Anybody who dares to step up and help change things for the better is a leader, regardless of who they are. Every team needs leadership to be successful. Leadership is a quality that takes place on and off the court and in the field. A way that I demonstrate leadership in my sports life is by not only holding myself accountable for reaching my full potential but also holding my teammates accountable.
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.
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 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
The type of leader that helps others lead and in tern continues the chain is a leader I would want to be. Leadership can be as small as providing a homeless man food and having others do the same, just because they saw you doing it. Leadership can also
I am deeply honored and humbled to be among the brilliant and best students who are being considered for the NHS. I have been looking forward to this opportunity since I was accepted at Brophy. I know that National Honor Society does great things in our world today. I was a part of National Junior Honor Society at Saint Theresa Catholic School and that that has had a huge impact on the person I am today. I believe that I exemplify the four pillars of National Honors Society, those being character, scholarship, leadership, and service.
Being one of the few who is eligible to be chosen for National Honor Society is an honor in itself, I have my teachers and peers to thank for helping me keep a positive attitude and a good character in and out of school. With the constant encouragement that I get from them, my character, scholarship and leadership all keep improving. I am hoping that by being chosen to be in NHS I can add serving the community and helping those in need to my list of improving qualities. Since the ninth grade when I was informed about NHS I was determined to keep my grades up to meet the required GPA, retaking exams when needed and paying close attention in my classes. I strove to be the absolute best I could, keeping my GPA at a 3.7 this school year hoping
Character is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. There are many, many people who have a specialty in their character. They may be honest, inspiring, or dedicated. Someone I know is all of these and many more. This person is Coach Pennington.
