20% of high school students are nominated, and of them only 30% to 40% are actually admitted. Being a part of a very limited association, such as the National Honor Society makes me exceedingly proud.…
I am very excited for the opportunity to be a part of the National Honor Society. I look forward to helping others in our school and throughout the community. I feel this opportunity would be great for both me and the community.…
To start off, as a potential member of the National Junior Honor Society, I’m very proud of…
Throughout my four years of high school, I have consistently pushed myself beyond my limits and comfort zones in attempt to discover my place in the world. I spent most of first two years discovering who I was as an individual, ultimately manifesting into inspiration for success. I grew out of “fitting in” and decided to turn my life and aspirations towards a greater direction; on this road of discovery, I separated myself from those who valued arrogance and indifference. “Nerd Squad” is what I am a part of today, which is why I am currently confident enough to apply for the National Honors Society Scholarship. I believe I have grown into a tenacious, sympathetic, and joyous young man that the entire school has seen develop, and I am honored…
The National Honors Society recognizes students who have great leadership skills, strong character, and who have a great desire to serve their community. I believe that I demonstrate all of these attributes. I work very hard to do well in school, I continue to serve in leadership positions in the community and I strive to be an individual…
When I think of FIU Honors, I think of home: a place of nurturing, acceptance, and inspiration. An environment of unparalleled success, where students are challenged daily to excel academically and personally. Due to its prestige as one of the nation’s leading business schools, FIU lies at the top of my list along with its Honors College. As an accounting major, I’m attracted to FIU Honors because it is educating tomorrow’s socially responsible leaders. I seek to join the Honors College due to its challenging curriculum, passionate instructors, cohort setting, and multicultural study abroad programs.…
The National Honors Society places a strong emphasis on the cornerstone traits of character, leadership, and service within the school and outside of school. I have met, and in some cases exceeded these requirements by being honest, assisting others, and participating in school activities.…
If accepted, I intend to uphold the leadership aspect of the National Honor Society by contributing in meaningful ways to my community. I feel as though I have created forward momentum already by getting out in my community. This is shown through my time involved in 4-H, the leadership positions I held within it (President and Secretary), and the volunteer initiatives I have led in the past. In my opinion, a leader also needs the ability to be open-minded and independent; qualities I think are ingrained in myself. On the contrary, it is also necessary for a leader to be able to draw intrigue…
I believe that I am capable of being in the CJ Hooker's National Junior Honor Society because I am very aggressive in my studies and strive to prove my excellence. I really want to be accepted because I love to outpace my school work and I have been in honor roll ever since I started middle school.I also take in 8th grade Studio Art classes. My intention for this year is to stay in honor roll and have A’s in all of my classes. Personally, I love to surpass all my studies. For example, I am on the Goshen Science Olympiad Team and I am going to have a lot of fun studying and competing against other teams. I love going for the challenge and trying new things. For example, over the summer I volunteered at the Goshen Public Library and I had a…

There are innumerable things you do, so people can classify you as a valuable citizen. A citizen is not only a person who resides in a particular city or town but it is a person who really respects themselves and the community around them. An individual that really cares about the place they live in, is willing to do anything for others and themselves. A citizen has the main responsibility of building excellence in other people. An individual is in charge of being a great leader in order to achieve goals and encourage other people to follow in their own footsteps.…
Fear and compassion are two very different feelings that equally drive individuals. Many assume that fear and compassion have absolutely no relationship due to the fact that they are polar opposite emotions that people usually do not associate with each other. Even though they are two very different emotions, fear can be used to express one’s inner compassion. Fear and compassion are two of the most prevalent emotions used in regular human interaction, but unlike compassion, fear is obviously dreaded in society due to the fact that humans in general do like to face and deal with adverse conditions. Leslie Bell, in Hard to Get: Twenty-Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom, talks about women in early their twenties facing fear about their identities. Robert Thurman’s “Wisdom” speaks about how his experience of becoming a monk taught him to release his inner “self”. And Charles Siebert speaks about the relationship between humans and elephants in the “Elephant Crackup”. Through all of these stories it is clear and apparent that deep and intense fear drives and motivates individuals to become much more compassionate and understanding.…
I am honored to be among all of the exemplary students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. This is an organization I have looked forward to being in since the beginning of my high schools career. After researching the National Honor Society I have found that they recognize students who show outstanding qualities of leadership, scholarship, character and service. I am also apart of other organizations, FFA, Interact, Praise Band, and Church Youth Group, that I work very hard in to grow in these qualities.…
On January 6th in the year 1941, President Frank D Roosevelt spoke to a world immersed in war and a nation worried from economic depression in an effort to move the nation away from a foreign policy of neutrality. His plan was to secure the future in four different ways. This he called the four essential human freedoms. FDR’s speech communicates the message about the four essential freedoms on a universal level while Rockwell’s paintings of the same subject matter recasts those freedoms for a strictly American audience by appealing to familiar American scenes and sentimentality.…
The National Honors Society is more than just a honor roll, but an organization that recognizes the efforts made by hard working high school students. I would like to join National Honors Society because it would challenge my development in both my community and my school. The National Honors Society, consisting of over one million students, would make me a part of a large community that could create many opportunities for me in the future. A highly respected organization such as the National Honors Society is very significant to me. The scholarships and programs offered by this organization helps increase my ability to get the education that I desire that I might not have been able to receive due to the rapidly rising costs of college. Every…
