A scholar-citizen is an individual who exudes a passion for academics and acts on the need to give back to his or her community. In UNC-Charlotte’s University Honors Program, each and every student is a scholar-citizen. Even though each student is indicative of UHP’s scholar-citizenship model, what each of them contributes to the program is unique and exceptional. If I were to be accepted into the University Honors Program, I would continue to build upon the scholar-citizenship foundation based on my academic excellence and community involvement, as well as expose myself to and connect with other remarkable students who desire to positively contribute to the program and help other students succeed. The first part of being an acceptable University Honors Program candidate is illustrating exceptional scholarship. If I were a student presented with the honor of joining this program, I exemplify the scholarship …show more content…

Citizenship involves the integration of service, leadership, and community investment, all of which I have experience in. I have contributed over 80 hours and counting of service, both inside and outside of my school. I am a member of clubs such as National Honor Society and National Beta Club, both of which are built upon the idea of giving back to the community. Within these endeavors, I have also shown leadership. I helped my school’s SAVERS Club, a club consisting of student tutors like myself who assist other students in mastering their school subjects, obtain graduation cords for the first time and prove that SAVERS is more important and vital to our school than most people tend to believe. Both my service and leadership make up my community investment; I have invested a lot of my time, creativity, and passion into the clubs, groups, and organizations that I am a part of, showing that I can exemplify the citizenship attribute that defines the mission of the University Honors

    A definitive part of my individuality is my level of intelligence. I’ve always been encouraged and driven to challenge my intellect through various opportunities in my community. Although my endeavors whether academic or artistic have provided both beneficial and detrimental outcomes in my life, I’ve been able to gain the greatest amount of esteem from my commitment to voluntary civic service. In the academically rigorous International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program as a part of eligibility for diploma status, candidates are required to submit 200 CAS (Creativity, Action, and Service) hours performing duties that meet the criteria for each category. At first I viewed the task as your stereo-typical student with disdain and contempt for the seemingly daunting tasks. However, I never expected to have gained a true introspect and regard from my experiences in service. It is most accurate to expound that community service has required and produced a higher standard of intellect by which I have sought to attain. For me, serving my community has become a source of engaging refuge by wh...

    As a child I did not know a lot about college. None of the adults in my life had been to College, my family did not talk about it, and it seemed like a distant land that I heard about only in movies and on Television. I was first introduced to college when my third grade class took a field trip to Iowa State University, clearly a much needed field trip considering my lack of exposure to higher education. I was immediately amazed by the grand architecture and massive buildings. I had never seen anything like a University campus before. The few things that I remember about the trip were that everything was big, the college students played with us, and we got to swim in the pool. While the larger purpose of the field trip may have been lost to my childhood excitement of getting to swim in a big pool, the field trip did mark the beginning of my knowledge of higher education and from then on I always viewed it as something that I would be a part of eventually, even if it did seem like a very distant future at age eight. As I grew older I developed other reasons for wanting to attend colle...

    Serving for the community and the school without compensation or recognition is a defining characteristic of the National Honor Society. I believe that I provide plenteous hours of service to my school and community. In my school, I am a member of Interact Club- a club that encourages volunteer work regarding the school and the community. I have participated in many Interact activities such as Make a Difference Day- cleaning trash at the Wildlife Refuge, Martin Luther King Day at Stockton University- helping organizations such as Circle K, and Project Green- cleaning trash and planting at the Atlantic City beach. In addition to these activities, I have volunteered at Seashore Gardens over the summer before my junior year. There, I was able to engage and interact with the elderly by coloring with them, distributing their lunches, and getting to know them. During my first day volunteering there, I had made a friend instantly as we bonded over gossiping and each other’s daytime activities. It was definitely an experience I will never forget. In addition, I volunteered my time by bagging groceries at ShopRite and washing cars to help fundraise for the Absegami girls soccer team as well as making Valentine's Day cards for the elderly, decorating classroom doors for Christmas, and helping my class with a cookie fundraiser.
