Personal Statement Honor Society

Honor Society
Personal statement essay

I have always wanted to be a part of the community and give back to it. With the chance to be in honor society, I got an extra push for that chance. I took my first steps into giving back with my parents right behind me. A little over a month ago, I went to go volunteer at a food place in downtown seattle, called Food Lifeline. While I was there, I learned a few things. First, the global food crisis isn't that there is a shortage of food. Its that there is too much food in places and not enough in others. Second, Food Lifeline helps to distribute the food.that there is out there. Third it's not that hard to give back to the community, all it takes is a little push. From then to now,

    I’d be able to take on more responsibilities in the school and community as well as helping my fellow students in their endeavours. I would be in a position where I’d be more readily able to use my leadership skill in helping others, and guiding them to obtain a better control over their surroundings. If I were to be invited to become a member of the NHS, I’d desire to be influenced by the best the school has to offer and hopefully make my mark on others lives as the one who is dependable, trustworthy and above all else willing to do anything to brighten another's’ day. In summation, being a part of the National Honor Society would better my life in innumerable ways while I aim to do the same for others around…

    Being active in National Charity League for six years, I have had the pleasure of working with many different philanthropies, my favorite being The Tualatin School House Pantry. Operating out of the basement of a church, the food bank helps to feed families in the community who are struggling financially. While my first few experiences at the food pantry were emotionally challenging, I found them to be very eye opening. I met many people from different backgrounds, yet they all shared the same hardship, the inability to afford food for themselves and their families. Wanting to do more for the recipients, I received training to be one of the personal shoppers.…

    The four pillars of National Honors Society, scholarship, service, leadership, and character, have paved a path for me as a student and as a person. Scholarship has taught me to strive to be the best student I can be. I use scholarship to keep up with my school work and never give up when a class is hard. I always strive for the best grade I can get and I will stop at nothing until I reach my goal. I will continue to use scholarship as I go to college and pursue my dream as a pediatric dentist. I will study, I will learn, and I will never give up no matter what happens along the way. I use service when I volunteered to help my local private school. I was never asked to do so, but I felt as if I was giving back to a school that had done so much…

    Since the age of seven, I have known that I want to be a performer. I remember that as a child I fantasized about sold out theatres and New York City skylines.

This want to be successful makes me a great candidate for National Honor Society because I have a steady track record in the key principles emphasized in membership.…

    I would love to be in the National Honor Society, I was a part of the National Junior Honor Society at Sawtooth Middle School and I enjoyed it very much. I had so much fun being apart of the NJHS and that group of people. I love being apart of my community and being able to take action. One reason you should consider me for NHS is volunteering is a big part of my life already. I volunteer at Meridian Elementary and at the Boise Humane Society. At Meridian Elementary I help in the library with the classes and book fairs. I walk and play with the dogs at the Boise Humane Society with my friends. I am also in the Upward Bound program where we volunteer at the Boise Food Bank and the Boise Rescue Mission. I work extremely hard to keep my GPA up…

    Imagine you’re walking down the sidewalks of Wilmington. You see cars and buses driving by along with adults and children. You notice that there is a little girl, looking rather malnourished, holding a plastic bag full of canned vegetables, peaches, and juice. As she walks by, a paper flutters out of the bag. You pick it up and realize that it’s a flyer for the Food Bank of Delaware. The paper says that they are in need of volunteers to help package food for people in Delaware. You ask yourself, “If I volunteered, could I make a change?” The answer is yes. The Food Bank of Delaware needs volunteers to help package food for people who cannot obtain it. Some may go without food, but with the help of volunteers at the Food Bank of Delaware, more people will have the chance to get the food they need.…

    Through the classes you take at school, you can obtain a lot of information, but there is also a lot that you can learn outside of the classroom. From your interests, the organizations you participate in, or even just your daily activities, you can gain a lot of esoteric knowledge for the subjects that mean most to you. I have gained knowledge in certain subjects and areas from outside of the classroom.…

    The mission of the Honors College is something that represents the environment I enjoy and thrive in. Firstly, the community surrounding education and conversation is something unique and truly mesmerizing. I know that I am in a good place when my peers thoroughly enjoy discussing a multitude of topics, regardless of who they are, what they’re studying, and where they’ve come from. The Honors College is one of these places that gives everyone a voice and the ability to generate open discussions on various topics. Also, the undergraduate research that the Honors College provides will enable me to continue connecting with professors and delve into my passions within my major. Mr. Bill Robinson, an Associate Professor of Management in the Krannert School, is an example of a professor that I see myself bonding with over our interest in new product development. The opportunities to learn alongside professors and seek extra help when needed, is beneficial to learning wholeheartedly. Thirdly, the value student leadership is a wonderful aspect of the Honors College. As Claire Lee, a current Honors College student said in the informational video about leadership development within the program, “student leadership combines the academics at Purdue with the real world experience.” The ability to apply knowledge…

    When I was a National Honor Society Member at my High School, we were able to work with a program called VIP Soccer in which volunteers played with and taught special needs children the game of soccer. It was actually my favorite event within our organization especially when we got to see how happy each child was and the smiles on their parents’ faces when they saw that their son or daughter was having fun. Eventually, I was so inspired by this movement that I actually started a similar program but at my local golf club. How I got this started was actually by meeting the owner of the golf club, and the parents of my teammates on my school golf team. After a couple of months of planning and talking to more interested volunteers, I was finally…

    I would not only like to, but be considered for membership within the NEHS, NMHS, and SMHS because it would make my parents and family proud. I also want to be a good role model for my sisters, who are just now entering their journey in their education. Especially for my younger sister, who is in 6th grade and in 2 years will enter high school. It would be an honor to be a member of the Honor Societies to make my parents proud and be an example/role model to my sisters. My parents made many sacrifices to get me and my sisters a better education then they did. I come from Mexico and my parents didn't have the same opportunities for education like I have right now and I have to thank them because they left their families to come to an unknown place with an unknown language just so I could study and have a better life then they did.…
