National Honor Society Journey
My journey of life has lead me on many different experiences and allowed my to acquire many valuable skills I will take throughout my life. From being a involved in volunteer programs from kids with disabilities, being a member of National Honor Society, to my first job, I have learned leadership, team work, responsibilities, patience, creativity, and quick thinking. Overall, I want to be involved on campus while still getting good grades in the classroom and with the skills I have acquired through my life, I believe I will be able to achieve this goal and be an asset to the college I wish to attend.
One thing that I like to do in my free time is volunteer. I have worked with many programs but the one that sticks out with me the most is

To me it is a great honor to be part of this generation because it shows my endurance, hard work, dedication, and deviation. In order to get into National Honor Society you have to have above average grades and be scholarship material. This is something that doesn’t come as easy to me as it does others. I have to put in a lot of time studying in order to get an outcome that I am pleased with. This shows that I am hardworking and dedicated. I can not recall a time that I didn’t turn in a project or assignment in on time. I am responsible,take initiative, and do not procrastinate. When there is a task to be done, I dig into it into it right away and active productive and efficient. Another quality look look at to join National Honor Society is your character. Students with a good character demonstrate honesty and integrity, fairness, respect, responsibility, caring, and citizenship in all their actions. Honesty and truth are morals that I personally like to live by. I also think it is important to be a friendly, nice, and caring person. My mom always taught me that you don't have to like everyone, but you do have to treat them right. Being apart of National Honor Society also allows me to do something that I love- volunteer, out in the community. I am always willing to work to benefit those in need without need of recognition of any kind. I try to give back to my school and community as much as I can. One example of a service project we did for National Honor Society was raking leaves in out in the community for the elderly. Members from National Honor Society would pile into someone’s car with our big rakes and went from house to house raking the leaves. The elderlies were so sweet and very thankful. Some even baked us cookies and desserts which was a great bonus. Many of the elders came out by us and loved talking to us. They were amazed how quickly

Those being, having the opportunity to play varsity shortstop in high school, and having good enough grades to be nominated for, and to be admitted into, the National Honor Society. These accomplishments make me proud because they are goals that I was able to set and accomplish for myself. These are successes that not everyone can say that they have achieved.…

    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…

    Each year in November I volunteer at The Basket Brigade. We assemble boxes full of food for the less fortunate to have for Thanksgiving/the holiday season. After assembling the boxes we each take 4-5 and deliver them to anyone who has requested them. This opportunity is very eye opening, it shows you how much a little kindness goes and how thankful people are that you care. I have also volunteered at Feed My Starving Children for the last few years. This organization allows you to help pack food to send to children across the…

    “The hardest obstacle to overcome in any leadership position is getting past the apathy to get people involved in the process to get things done…The greatest enemy to accomplishment is apathy” (Burke). National Honor Society upholds its members to have 4 important values. These being scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Leadership, in my opinion, is a very important aspect in National Honors Society because you are expected to be a role model by positively inspiring people around you. This quote stuck out because it says that inspiring people is a way to overcome obstacles in leadership. If you inspire people and make them get rid of their apathy, you can overcome stalling in the process and reach accomplishment.…
