The skills I have been able to develope since joining the National Honor Society are skills that I will will use for the rest of my life. Before joining the National Honor Society I was a typically high school student who really did not care about anything around him. Since joining the NHS I have grown a new appreciation for everything around me. I have grown as a leader and a person and I have learned to have a new outlook on life. When it comes to leadership, there is one thing that I am very proud of. As a senior team captain and unquestioned leader I had a massive task on my hands this year. Coming off of a winless season the football team was lacking commitment and and there were many questions about how the teams was going to bounce …show more content…
Since joining the NHS I have developed a great appreciation for everything going on around me. From holding the door for someone or simply greeting other in the hallways, I believe that the NHS has helped me develop a open and giving personality that has a positive impact on everyone I come into contact with. There are many things that come to mind when I think of how my character has changed, but there is a certain one that really sticks out. That example is this year when the NHS was serving cookies for Valentine’s Day and we had a bunch of leftover cookies. I asked Mr. Spears what we were going to do with the leftover cookies and he thought we could just hand them out during lunch. The old me would have loved this idea because I would have got more cookies, but with my newly developed character I thought it would be a good idea to give the cookies away to others and that is what we did. Me and another member of the NHS ended up bringing the leftover cookies to Fieldcrest Assisted Living for the old folks to have and they could not have been more happy. The NHS is a fantastic organization that has taught me some great life traits. There is no doubt the the things I have learned through the National Honor Society are skills that I will use for the rest of my life. The NHS has given me a whole new outlook of life and I could not be more
I am also a fellow Girl Scout, which has taught me many things. It taught me how to be a good leader, taught me better communication skills, and also helped me work on my character. I was also in NHS for only a year, but in that year I learned so much about responsibility. In the real world, you aren’t going to have someone constantly
After completing the hours the biggest ethical issue I observed was the lack of participation. This came from the fact of a lot of the students who participated in National Honors Society, take part because they want to add the activity to their college application. a lot of people join NHS in order to boost their college resume. “ According to research commissioned by the National Honor Societies, 59 percent of admissions officers look for participation in community service opportunities to evaluate a student's character, and 30 percent of admissions officers say the most impressive extracurricular activity is volunteering in the local community.” Which sometimes causes ethical issues because once the students get in they do the basic amount to stay in.
Pouring a cup of hot chocolate and grabbing a bag of popcorn was best decision I made all day. Instead of watching the last JV football game of the year, I decided to help the concession stand disperse food and beverages to the community. Giving a little to my community brought me gratitude even though I did not benefit from it. Working for good causes was all I needed for choosing to work over spectating a game. Helping the community is one attribute I would like to continue and joining National Honors Society would allow me to do this.
National Honor Society can help me become a professional in the future. This organization creates enthusiasm for scholarships, develops character in students, and promotes leadership. NHS has many activities with students that can develop my leadership skills and help me achieve my goals as a professional in the future. There are different ways to contribute to the success and growth of the NHS. I would get actively involved in the activities sponsored by the NHS and will support my peers.
The National Honor Society is based off of four pillars; Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Scholarship is one of the most important pillars to me. Scholarship means not only doing well in school and getting good grades, but applying what I have learned and using it everyday. I know the importance of education and feel that I am a lifelong learner. I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a family where education is a priority.
Service, scholarship, character, and leadership are the four pillars that make the National Honor Society stand out from other organizations. Espousing these pillars, I find giving back to the community very important, which I show through my service with my church, ELO tutoring, and NHS activities including the OGES Holiday Shoppe and FHS tours. As an officer of the NHS, I will ensure we incorporate a variety of service opportunities to maintain this crucial aspect of our organization. My scholarship is displayed through challenging myself academically with a schedule containing a majority of AP courses, and involving myself in other honor societies including Mu Alpha Theta and Science Honor Society. With a commitment to learning, I feel
Every week I spend time at the Morristown Medical Center as a volunteer, where I am able to help keep things functioning in the hospital at the highest speed possible and hopefully brighten a few patients’ days. Also, I’ve enjoyed helping refereeing youth basketball games for the past two seasons and being able to talk with the kids. It is a great opportunity to give back to a program which gave me so much in the five years I played in it when I was younger. Furthermore, I am excited for even more opportunities to have an impact on my community which being a part of National Honor Society would aid in.
Another reason why is I will get the opportunity to serve my local community; doing more service work will help me to be better as a person. Being in NHS will help build who I am as student. I always want to improve and learn from my flaws. Being in the National Honor Society will not only help me academically but also as a better person to the
The National Honor Society is an opportunity for many students, who are well educated with dreams and leaderships skills, to upgrade themselves. The sole purpose of this organization is to endeavor leaders in different societies to help out their community. It will help colleges to notify the leaders when looking at students’ resumes, for those students in this organization will be the few who are well-developed leaders in their school. Since this will be the first time to be given the opportunity to contribute to this organization, I may not know everything about the requirements in which I need to manage.
Today I am deeply humbled to be recognized as a potential member of the National Honor Society. To me this means I have exemplified everything you look for in a student who goes above and beyond, not just in academics but in athletics, the community and at home as well. I have not taken this selection for granted, as I believe would be a great asset to the National Honor Society. I am hardworking, honest, reliable and quite charismatic too. I hold all the qualities required by the distinguished NHS like leadership, service, character and scholarship.
Being a part of the National Honor Society will help me to improve academically, and socially. I would also like to advance my leadership abilities and be able to contribute to more service activities. One of my goals is to be a good role model to other students and show how hard work and dedication will pay off. I love the quote, “Life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself.” To me, this quote means that whatever you do in life, shows who you are as a person, and the NHS will help me do that.
Her rectitude taught me to take the initiative in my education and in my community. By being accepted into The PCTI chapter of the National Honor Society, I hope to further my education while also developing my character and defining what exactly it is I wish to accomplish in life. I hope having other like minded, self driven peers and mentors surrounding me will push me to reach my potential while I aid them in doing the same. The National Honor Society is more than just another accolade to me.
Becoming an NHS member recognizes my scholastic achievements but, just as important, it gives me the opportunity to continue expanding my leadership skills, strengthening my character for future challenges; all while simultaneously being of service to my community and my school. I am committed to working hard using my skills and talents to make a positive change in the world. Membership in the National Honor Society gives me the unique opportunity to interact with other like-minded students who will develop into the future leaders of society. When I first became aware
To begin with, it’s an honor to be recognized which great potential to NHS. I have all the traits that a student has to become a member of NHS. I would be a great resource to this society if I were to be accepted. I am a leader who is motivational. I tell my peers that whatever project or assignment we are doing, the outcome will be beneficial.
I learned a lot from the lessons of the past three weeks. Some diseases, especially veterans, have problems, and also were given a lot of information about what care these problems in any way and should be approached. This information is extremely useful as an active duty soldier, when working as a nurse in the future, I think it will be a lot of useful. Interview of veterans was also impressive. Through interviews, I could understand also the life of soldier, it was also particularly interesting to listen to and talk about VA system.
