Why I Chose To Join The National Honor Society
Danielle Yamson
February 18, 2013
NHS Application Essay
Being invited to join the National Honor Society is an honor itself. Being inducted into the NHS? Now that’s a whole different story. Since my freshman year, I have dreamed of joining the NHS. I have always envied the students who walked around every Thursday wearing the uniform. Since then, I have pushed myself to try harder in school. Now that I have the chance to be one of them, it’s something that I wont let slip. I want to be a part of the NHS because it would look great on a college application. It is one of the things I could prove to everybody that I am capable of achieving. Sometimes, I doubt myself so this is something that I can assure myself that I can achieve great things on my own. I know I’m not the perfect student, but I can prove that I am NHS worthy.

There are times when I do fail at something, but I always figure out a way to fix that. I’m not that type of person that studies 24/7, more over you’d only catch me studying once in every while. But school is a big part of my life, and I’m grateful that my parents work hard everyday to send me a Catholic school. They’re one of my main inspirations as to why I work hard in school. One day I’d like to repay them for everything they did. I also like joining academic competitions because I love going to other places and representing my school. So far, I’ve only been in NHD and Speech Festival. For the next two years, I’m going to continue to try to go for Science Fair, Math Competition, and Young Writers because it’s also one of my goals to particiapate in every academic competition in high

    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…

    There are many accomplishments in my life of which I am proud, however there are two for which I am especially proud. 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.…

    As quite the introvert, I never would have imagined myself as the secretary of such a renowned organization: the National Honor Society. However, I had decided to take on the challenge of running for board, requiring me to give a speech to our 500+ NHS members. My strengths did not lie in public speaking or persuasion like the other candidates. Instead, my speech involved me singing Mulan’s “Be a Man,” using ingenuity and humor to win over opinions. I believe that pushing yourself into an unfamiliar situation is the best way to learn and grow, as this approach demands problem solving and innovative thinking. NHS has pushed me to be more outgoing and active in the community by giving me the privilege of leadership, and I would definitely serve…

    Along with many other achievements in the last three years, my involvement in National Honors Society is one of the most significant. In the past two years I have been a part of National Honors Society at my high school. The four pillars of NHS include: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. I believe I am a leading exemplar of those standards. Scholarship entails more than just getting good grades. It is achieving recognizable grades in rigorous courses that challenge you to learn outside of your comfort zone. National Honors Society has encouraged me to make an impact on my community. Community service is not an obligation, it is a choice I make because it is selfless and rewarding in ways far beyond words. Volunteering is doing…

    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.…

    Your hand is full of coins that are worth different values, but you only choose those with higher worth. You throw the rest on the floor or put them aside for someone else to find. Little did you know that with time those coins you left for someone else to have, made them worth more than what they used to be. My life was like a penny, not worth much to others but with help of others the bronze coin became much more than the silver coins.…

    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.…
