I am hard working and take joy in helping others. This allows me to inspire people to also help others. My Academic Track Records, my financial need, and my extensive community involvement all make me a great Schulich Leader.

Volunteering is a way of helping others. It is giving a person 's time and ability to help someone who may be in need of help. Not only does volunteering help others, but what they may not know is that it can be helpful to themselves. It is a great way for someone to interact with others in their community. It gives someone that time to themselves while also creating bonds when they are doing the greater good.

I will also do my best to show good character, leadership, citizenship, service, and scholarship because I know that these qualities are very important for the National Junior Honors Society and that they are also very important to me. Thank you for your consideration, Katy

By experiencing these skills frequently, a volunteer can show them off when searching for a career. Volunteers can gain connections if they happen to volunteer with others who work in a career that is interesting to them. Volunteering expands social networks and connections as one communicates with people with which he or she shares common interests and career goals while they perform the same activity for, sometimes, the same

I am an American, proud of my country and everything it has provided for me. So my main responsibility is to say thank you through community service, being educated, voting, and most importantly respecting the people that allow me to live in such a great

This volunteer experience allowed me to implement servant leadership principles including, listening, empathy, stewardship and commitment to the growth of others and building of the community.

Also JROTC is not all about learning out from the book, we all work as a team, we communicate, and we work together as a squad, platoon and company become one teamwork. In JROTC I acknowledge and accept others and learn from their unique skill and find a way to improve myself. JROTC taught me to work together, helping each other out that is the only key to success. As if you start volunteering you will get your volunteer hours and also become a better citizen and show what you can give back to the community.

With this I believe I have gained tremendous success and pay off from the avenues I have chosen to apply myself. While they may be taken for granted by others I appreciate the reward of having gained endless support and acknowledgement from my peers and superiors,

If we sympathize with them, we will offer kindness and at the same time a gracious connection is made. This is the positive power that each of us possess. Moreover, this is the most powerful act of generosity because true generosity is pure and giving any without expectation and no demand to be repaid. Random acts of kindness are the essential and vital to human well-being as they set us free from isolation, egoism and selfishness. In response, such demeanour is definitely the base of a healthy and joyful society where everyone willingly and happily reaches out to help another person and such an action is delightedly received.

This topic is further discussed in the article Benefits of Volunteering, which tells of branching out in volunteering, “In volunteer work, it often happens that you start by doing something you know you are very good at and eventually branch out, frequently into things you never thought you could do” (Richmondvale). Reaching out into other areas of volunteering and finding different subjects you are good at is a large benefit of volunteering. When someone does advance within a skill or subject, it is also a step for the people wanting to volunteer behind them. Being encouraging and working for the things you want, also persuades others to do the same. Often volunteering introduces many activities that are, or may become, a career or very serious hobby.

Volunteer development is a collaborative effort between the Volusia County, supervisors and volunteers to align individual goals with the overall direction of the Volusia County.

Throughout my four years of high school, I have kept myself occupied by participating in three student organizations that has developed me into a helpful and prestigious individual. My participation in the Alexander High School UIL Academic team taught me the lesson of hard work pays off. I took the opportunity to join my high school's UIL current events and social studies team which allowed me to compete against others based on my knowledge of the topic. By competing, UIL has educated me that in order to succeed, you must be willing to make sacrifices and dedicate your time towards studying in order to earn a medal or a ribbon. Thankfully, I got to place in many invitational events.

The four pillars of the National Honor Society consists of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. These characteristics must be possessed by an individual in order to be a member of the society. I believe that I possess all the these four qualities and should become a member of National Honor Society. Leadership is when someone has a positive influence on people and brings out the best in them. I am a leader of the junior class student body as being a member of student council.

In my opinion, I feel like Character is the pillar that is most dominant in my personal characteristics. I strive to be a good person who has morals and always wants to do the right thing. I feel that I am an all around trustworthy person and I works hard for everything I have. My drive and determination to excel are parts of my character that works in conjunction with scholarship. My grades reflect my hard work and determination that are naturally a part of my character.
