Honor Society Reflection
This year, I have used my leadership skills to better my school’s National Honor Society chapter. I am an active two year member of National Honor Society, and I was elected by my peers to serve as Vice-President this year. I wanted to serve as Vice-President because I believed that the club had a lot of untapped potential. Having seen friends from other schools talk about the high standards and requirements of their clubs, I believed that my school should meet those standards as well. The four pillars of National Honor Society are Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. My school has an impressive amount of girls who qualify for NHS academically, which fulfills the Scholarship pillar. However, I knew my club could better represent

    A leader is born, not made. Through a long period of times, through different system of educations and experiences in life, every leader can be how they are today, like Bill Gates for example after all the hard works and the desire of wanting to achieving their goals. National Honor Society is an organisation that has had a lot of young leaders at different ages in which show the important qualities of being a leader, not just stop at being an inspirational place and have a strong desire. They accepted criticisms to gather experiences, they accepted novel changes, and they accepted failures as lessons. With the nomination, I, too, believed that I have those important traits to become a leader of National Honor Society. Lastly, I, too, believed…

    Last summer, I endeavored a life changing experience. American Legion Buckeye Boys State is a leadership program. It is the best Boys State program in the nation. On top of this, it is among the top programs for leadership, growth, and is a meeting of the greatest minds of Ohio, and by proxy, of the nation. But it’s so much more than that. From Day One, the minute you step off the bus, it instantly becomes an incredible experience. Everyone, people who have never even met before, are shaking everyone else’s hands, introducing themselves, and campaigning for positions before anyone has even dropped their luggage off. It was breathtaking, truly, and it made me realize that I too had to step up. Naturally, I did just that. I started meeting people,…

    During the course of my high school career, I have developed a strong passion for the organization named the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA). FCCLA is a Career and Technical Student Organization that focuses on building students into better leaders for their families, careers, and communities. Furthermore, FCCLA teaches students practical skills that will be useful throughout their lifetimes. This organization has become an important part of my life because it has shaped me into the leader I am today. I began in the organization as a member and participant in competitive events, I have now worked my way up to being my chapter’s President and the Missouri State First Vice President. My leadership experience in FCCLA, especially my experience as a member of the Missouri State…

    Tab: St.Charles high school may seem very one-dimensional from the outside, like many high schools, and this can oftentimes be magnified to suffocate our depth and benevolence. I would very much like to be the person who inflates the image of how respectful and authentic the people attending our school can be. Through programs, like S.T.A.N.D. and…

    Allowing me to become a part of The National Association of Colored Women’s Club would be beneficial to not only me, but also to the organization. I am a detailed-oriented, determined student and worker who is looking for an opportunity to learn and grow. My hard word, dedication and passion will prove to be an asset.

    As an executive officer in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, each individual is responsible for a legacy project during the school year. I was responsible for SOS Children’s Village which is a foster care neighborhood that houses children that were abused, neglected and/or abandoned. Even though this was a one-day experience, I was thrilled about the opportunity to work with children as I believe that no child should be denied proper medical care and a healthy home. It is said that time goes by when you are having fun. This was true for our experience as we went four hours over time. I coordinated leadership and team building activities for the children in which both the volunteers and participants enjoyed. Who knew that in five hours’ strong bonds can be developed with a stranger that you might not encounter again.…

    My life started on December 13, 1999 In Ahoskie, North Carolina. I was born at 12 p.m. As my family would tell it was a very different day for everyone. I was my mom’s first born child and the same for my dad. I really don’t remember much about my childhood. The furthest back I remember is like 4th grade way back when I made my mother proud. I had straight A’s and I never had a single write up. I always tried to do the best I could to get through the years and I did well until the sixth grade.…

    An activity that stood out to me this week in honors service learning was when we played that leadership game. One person went out of the room and we chose someone else to “command” the room. We would all have to do the same motions that they would do and the other person had three tries to guess who it was. I had never played that kind of activity, but I think it was fun and really showed who can be a leader. If i have the opportunity at my service site I am going to try and play this game with the kids.…

    An NJHS member has many traits that make him/her a valuable member, but I believe an NJHS member should exude certain characteristics that best promote the NJHS community. In my opinion having leadership is a skill that is beneficial to everyone. An effective leader can positively influence their peers and surroundings.

    The first time I went to the Elks club, I was with my grandmother and we went for dinner, and I ended up learning how to ballroom dance. After dinner, an older man came up to me and asked me to dance. After responding that I don't know how to, he taught me and I had a great time. The man was ninety-five years old and one of the best ballroom dancers I had ever seen. I truly believe that the spirit of the Elks is what has kept him able to do the thing he loved, and is a wonderful place to spend time. Now every time I visit my grandparents, we visit the Elks and it is one of the best things we do together each trip. The way that the members of the Elks club remember and respect a simpler time in history, one that values such a beautiful skill…

    Honors Class Reflection

    Throughout my years in high school math was never one of my strongest subjects, but that all changed when I enrolled in honors pre-cal. When I received my schedule I thought there had been some mistake, the fact that I landed an honors class in something I totally sucked in was an idea that I could not get a good grasp on. I could feel my blood pressure rising and I wanted to get out of that class more than anything in the world, but there was also a part of me that was excited. There were a million thoughts going through my head at once, one minute I wanted nothing to do with the class, and the next I would be totally hyped about the idea of having another honors class under my belt.I tired to come up with every reason I could not actually stay in the class, but when I realized that…

    Being part of the said organization, it was an absolute opportunity for me. Students do look for someone to whom they could relate and could count on in terms of their ideas, problems and academic needs inside school premises. So, it became my responsibility to know and identify every edge of the problem to be solved as a student leader. Yes, it wasn’t that easy for I am a student as well and I have to attend classes like an ordinary one to meet all the needed requirements to pass. But carrying a title of “president” in the world of politics isn’t a joke. You have to be vigilant in all your actions and words because one mistake could destroy one’s trust and hope. When you are a president of a prestige organization where big expectations awaits, you should know how to balance and perfect every aspect of yourself, the way you dress up properly, the way you speak in the public, and the hardest one, is to maintain an excellent standing in terms of academics. That has been a tough time for me, despite of the burning passion inside me; after all I’m just human and not some kind of “Einstein”. I wanted to attend my everyday classes but the responsibility that was tied to me won’t let me. I should give priority to becoming a good leader and putting my fellow student’s welfare first than myself. And in my case, I wasn’t a very intelligent individual who could not attend classes and would still perfect an exam. I also have that kind of flaws. There are problems that I encounter during my term but I can say that all of it was worth facing…
