The public education system in the United States puts a greater emphasis on test scores and grades that it does actual learning. While around 80 percent of high school students graduate, most of them are not being prepared for what comes next. I have come to believe that there is more to education that a decent GPA, so I have tried to enrich myself with as much real-world experience as possible during my time in high school, while still trying to maintain my grades. My time in leadership positions, desire to work with other intellectual individuals, and rigorous academic goals all make me an exceptional candidate for the Honors College at East Carolina University.…
It is a great honor to be nominated in an esteemed club of NBTHS, which idolizes the importance of academic excellence and values leadership, service and character. Becoming a member of the National Honor Society would not only mark an achievement in my high school career, but would also reflect the hard work and effort I have put into maintaining my grades and developing a respectable character. The NHS gives me a great opportunity to help the community and display my character to its full potential. As a student, academics has been one of my top priorities and maintaining a certain grade in each of my classes has been an objective that I have done to the best of my ability to complete. If I get selected into NHS that objective will be justified and I will acquire more opportunities to improve my community and share my knowledge with others in NHS. After not getting accepted into National Junior Honor Society in middle school I made it a goal that in high school I would possess the attributes to get into NHS.…
In the wake of numerous cheating scandals, such as those at the University of Virginia and Harvard, many people have began to question the effectiveness of honor codes (sources C, D). Honor codes can be defined as a set of rules implemented in a school that are based around morals that define both acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. While many feel as though such guidelines are necessary in maintaining a schools’ dignity, others believe that honor codes are impossible to enforce. Honor codes should not be enforced because they are too harsh, unrealistic, and put innocent students in uncomfortable social situations.…

The total student is so much more than a piece of paper. The total student should excel scholastically, in leadership, service, and character. This is all true. But I believe that the total student should also have integrity, respect, and a drive to make the world and the people around them better. I should be accepted into Minnesota Honor Society because I demonstrate the needed qualifications, and more.…
It was just a cold normal winter day. But not for me, today was the day I would be organizing people to go around collecting books from my neighborhood and in the end, getting over 3,000 books. I was as excited as a little boy on Christmas. I woke up early to get all the delicious treats ready for the helpers, they would be coming over soon. I was getting nervous. This operation would be happening all from my garage. My fellow boy scouts would come excited and willing to help me out. As soon as people started arriving I maintained a calm state. I tried to stay professional and give them useful tips on how to collect the books. Overall just about 20 people came to help me out in my eagle scout project, which was a lot more than I needed as I…
I look exactly like my older sister Michelle. You’d sometimes think we were twins if not for the seven year gap and the one inch height difference. What that seven year separation doesn’t show in our faces, it makes up for in our experiences. The situation worked in my favor; Michelle went through various life stages years ahead of me, allowing her to share her “Now that I look back on it” wisdom with me. Because of this, my sister took it upon herself to guide me through adolescence. I am eternally grateful to have had her to support and care through our tumultuous childhood.…
I am interested in medical school and rigor is important to getting into a medical program and participation in the Honors College would greatly improve my chance of acceptance into a medical choice due to the fact that certain credentials on the medical applications looks amazing. Also, being in the Honors College would allow me more intellectual stimulation, I am a very smart person and have always challenged myself to be better; therefore, I believe that the Honors College would be a great challenge to me.…
For a girl who is use to achieving at everything she does, it was a great astonishment when I heard I didn’t make it into National Honors Society. I have never felt such like a failure before. When I first started high school as a freshman I have heard of National Honors Society because my brother was in it so I wanted to be in it as well. At my high school you can only be invited into it as a junior. To be invited into it you must have had a 3.5 GPA or higher.…
