    Another example of a time I showed leadership is when I went to the town library to read to children. Doing that made me feel good since some of them were to young to know how to read. Also, it was enjoyable to read to the children because just watching listen to you made me feel responsible and teacher-like. I show good character by helping my sister if she need help with her homework. I sit down with her and explain how to do it or if she doesn’t understand a question I explain what it means. I stop when she says she does not need my help anymore. I also show good character by sticking up for my friends if they need it or want it. My friends are one of the most important things in my life and if they need up I will gladly help them. Another example of myself showing good character is at lunch when people put their lunch trays away most people do it carelessly. So, I try my hardest to make sure the trays are in a neat pile.

    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 Honor Code A quote spoken by once famous philosopher Aristotle states as such: “Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them,” (Motivational & Inspirational Corner). This quote very reasonably explains what it means to possess either an honor code or an academic honor code. Simply put, the self-dignity that comes along with properly following an honor code does not come by possessing such honors, but by deserving of what is given to you by taking the code seriously. An individual who follows such a code honestly would be someone who deserves the honor; however, someone who does not follow the code in complete honesty would be someone who possesses the honor with no meaning or pride behind it. An honor code is a very simple concept that is very easy for people to grasp and thrive with.
