As an applicant to the Sparkman National Honor Society, I feel that I would be a good candidate because I thrive to reach characteristics similar to those of the “four pillars”, scholarship, service, leadership, and character, in my everyday life. Although some areas are weaker than others, I think that simply contributes even more to the uniqueness I have to offer. As a high school student, school can be difficult to balance between extracurricular activities, church, volunteering, family, friends, and everything else that goes on. This brings me to the first pillar, scholarship. I feel I reach the standards because through my first two years of high school I have kept a GPA of 4.5, taken many preAP courses, and I was rewarded the scholar …show more content…
This pillar is one of my favorites because to me it is usually enjoyable, and I always come back with a new idea or perspective. Over time I have volunteered at several different places such as the Downtown Rescue Mission, Legacy Elementary, my church, Sparkman, 305 8th street, and some others. One of my favorites was 305 8th street, which is a home for adults with special needs. I went with First Priority last spring to deliver Easter baskets. The people were so incredibly happy and thankful to see us and they just wanted to talk to us all they could. This experience taught me just how much talking to someone or meeting someone new can brighten their day. Throughout the past two years, Harvest Youth Club has been one place where I have volunteered consistently. I look forward to seeing the kids each week, and I have grown closer and more comfortable with so many of them. With this experience, I have learned the value of consistency and developing relationships with people. These memories will forever influence me wherever I …show more content…
I think I tend to shy away from these positions because I prefer to work behind the scenes. However, my leadership positions have shown me that it is not just a matter of guiding others, but it is about helping others. For the past two summers, I have been a youth leader at my church’s Vacation Bible School. I usually read Bible stories to the children, play with them, and give them instructions. I feel that this position brings out the best in me because I realize that I could be influencing a young child and the person he or she will become. Being a leader does not necessarily involve leading people. For example, this past Fall, I decided to organize a fundraiser selling t-shirts so that I could donate money to the Harvest Youth Club. Although I wasn’t necessarily leading a group of people, I had to find a t-shirt design, keep track of orders, negotiate prices, and encourage people to buy one. This leadership opportunity forced me to be independent and lead myself to bring good to others at the Harvest Youth Club. I have come to realized that with each leadership opportunity, I have become more confident in the person that I want to
The four pillars of the prestigious National Honor Society demonstrate the traits I hope to continually develop: as a scholar, a leader, a volunteer and a person of strong moral fiber. I believe myself to be mature and motivated; I have an unyielding commitment to scholarship and intend to make a difference in the lives of everyone around me. The prospect of becoming a member has prompted me to take a look upon what I wish to accomplish as a part of this organization. By becoming an active participant, my goal is to enrich my school experience by means of volunteering in the community, serving as a role model for my peers, and fostering pride for our school.
I am writing to inform you of my possible contributions to the National Honor Society and my interest in becoming a member. I view myself as a strong minded individual with a strong incentive to learn. Acquiring the ability to learn fast and adapt quickly has enabled me to be a part of a wide range of organizations. My participation and loyalty to the NHS could result in a great strive forward. I could provide more ideas of services to benefit the school and our community. I would also devote a large portion of my free time to the organization and assist in any way possible. Whether that means coming in early in the morning or staying late after school, I would do any means necessary to show my commitment.
It is a tremendous honor to be considered for membership in the most prestigious Honor Society available at Wapato High School. It is even more grand to be able to work towards enrollment in the Society side by side with such an astoundingly gifted group of young men and women. I am only being considered for potential membership in the National Honors Society because I have demonstrated an exemplary academic attitude, and have proven this through the grades I have attained during the years I have spent in the Wapato School District and the fondness amongst my teachers I have achieved. There are also other characteristics besides good scholarship I must fill for membership in the Society, those being services I have done to benefit others in the community, leadership positions I have held, and an original and interesting demonstration of
It is with great honor to be considered among the students of my class to be a part of the National Honor Society. the National Honor Society (NHS) has been an organization that has displayed great interest to me, with new leadership skills and responsibilities to take upon. I believe that I hold the leadership skills, service, character, and academic excellence that is required to become a member of the National Honor Society.
When my English teacher first spoke about the National Honors Society, I was eager to find more information about it. I highly praise and admire everything it emblematizes; I hope to be able to contribute everything I have to offer. I believe I can be a notable member of NHS for my school, Saddleback High School, and my community. Finding three weaknesses and three strengths about myself was a stirring challenge. Alike everyone, I have weaknesses and strengths, but finding a way to explain them was difficult to me.
Being inducted into the National Honors Society is what I have been waiting for. Becoming a member is nothing more than a dream come true, and I appreciate it greatly. If I am to be chosen as a member I know that I will be a positive and dependable participant in society activities. Due to my abilities and past experiences, I can be considered a valuable candidate because I demonstrate the qualities of leadership, service, and character. I do feel that if I am chosen, I will do nothing detract from the prestige and respectability that is associated with the society.
I was very excited when I heard that I had been invited into National Junior Honors Society. The first time I heard of NJHS, it instantly became a goal of mine. When my older sister left for college I was very sad, so I think that this is a way for me to keep a part of her. I have always been that little girl no one understood, because I’m always very excited to learn and get back to school after summer break. I’m very happy to see that I’ve been invited, but this is why I should be accepted.
National Technical Honor society is a prestigious club. Having the opportunity to apply for this prestigious society had left one honored. Being in such a prestigious program will open many more doors, and give one more opportunity to succeed in the future. I feel that all the candidates for this prestigious program have the grades and are all capable of being part of this program, but I also feel that by describing my unique set of skills I can merit membership into National Technical Honor Society and be a beneficial member.
Nominees were asked to try and write about one experience, which proves quite difficult and uninteresting. It's much more interesting to discuss the value of the "pillars" of the National Honor Society. One thing defines us in life. One thing that outshines service, leadership, and even scholarship. In fact, without this thing, the other three are irrelevant. Character. Character carries us through our lives. It gives motivation and strength. It gives love and hate. It gives decisions of yes or no. Character is most important to me. It is character that literally defines all of us. Character is more than being kind and polite. If everyone's character could be summed in that way of unkind or kind and polite or impolite the world would not be interesting anymore would it? The world is interesting and so is everyone else, all because of character.
The National Honor Society upholds four pillars of excellence that all members attain; scholarship, service, leadership, and character. While these four ideals are present in all members I believe that I withhold these characteristics, as well as numerous others, which qualifies me as an ideal scholar and member of the National Honor Society. These assets are not adequately portrayed in my application, but are equally important to scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
I am honored to be among the exemplary students who are being considered to be accepted to National Honor Society. I learned while researching National Honor Society that it calls upon students with outstanding academics and character. Throughout my life I believe I have demonstrated these qualities along with leadership from my participation in school, teams, and clubs.
Scholarship is academic study or achievement; learning at a high level. For as long as I can remember I have had A’s and B’s in all of my classes. I have been in the proficient class since I was in 6th
Scholarship, leadership, character, service and citizenship are the key building blocks to a successful National Honor Society member. I believe that I represent and exemplify these attributes and possess qualities that would contribute positively to the grandioseness of National Honor Society. Scholarship is an essential key to a successful student and I believe I harbor this characteristic, as I have a vehement commitment to learning. In my opinion, education is crucial to have a prosperous life, therefore, I spend an abundance of my time diligently acquiring knowledge. Moreover, I consistently work to the best of my ability, regardless of merit or acknowledgment.
Sometimes you have to wait to get opportunities to lead. First I was a helper and eventually got to be a leader. I have learned that I enjoy working with children and other adoptees. So far I have had only three leadership experiences.
I also had the privilege of helping with the Meals on Wheels non profit organization. My grandfather used to be a Meals on Wheels recipient and he would share with me how he enjoyed looking forward to their company and a hot meal daily. I volunteered because I wanted to give back and help someone else’s loved one in the same way. It was very rewarding delivering hot meals to people who didn’t have the means of getting one as well as being there for them to talk to. Overall, it was a very humbling experience, it made me realize just how blessed I am and how much I take for granted daily.
