The Purpose Of National Honor Society

Like any other high school student I have always put much thought into my future. Where I will be in a few years? How will I get there? What are the steps and sacrifices I would have to take to reach my full potential? These terrifying unanswered questions have driven me to work my hardest throughout my high school career. With longing for a bright future I was aware that I would be sacrificing hours of leisure time in favor of spending time studying, but I was undaunted by this realization. I acknowledged the fact that hard work pays off, and the only way to make a difference in my life and become the best version of myself was to put a little blood, sweat, and tears into my work.

Students are acceptable because of their ability to stand out amongst their peers. Being a member of NHS means you should serve as a remarkable role model for others.
