The National Honors Society recognizes students who have great leadership skills, strong character, and who have a great desire to serve their community. I believe that I demonstrate all of these attributes. I work very hard to do well in school, I continue to serve in leadership positions in the community and I strive to be an individual…
The four pillars of National Honor Society – character, leadership, scholarship, and service – are the attributes that define the society’s members. Therefore, all pillars are important for students to follow, so that they may benefit the world and make a difference. Character, for instance, is the product of relentlessly striving to make the right choices, one after the other. Furthermore, young leaders displaying initiative, self-sacrifice, determination, and confidence can lead anything to greatness.…
A lot of my volunteer work has been through National Honor Society: the Red Out Events, the canned food drive, working at the Snack Shack during the summer, etc. National Honor Society is great because of all of the volunteer work that is available to you. Aside from National Honor Society, I have volunteered for Girl Scouts, the Christmas Festival, and the Junior Classic for the past four years!…
The four pillars of the National Honor Society; scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the four qualities of a well-rounded individual. They have not only embodied who I strive to be, but have helped me achieve success and impact throughout my local community and my time as a national honor society member. Scholarship has helped me define not only who I am as a student, but has helped me prepare for my future. Without my drive to maintain my academics and pursue knowledge, I would not have discovered my love and passion for teaching. This newly discovered passion has helped me narrow down my future career, special education. Service, has helped me develop one of my individual characteristics, as I now understand the importance…
“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.…
Not only is membership in the National Junior Honor Society prestigious, it promotes character, citizenship, and leadership. These are incredibly important traits to individuals, but even more so to the society as a whole. I strive to better my community, and know I will find a kindred spirit in the other NJHS members. Together I believe this caring society can light a beacon bright enough to guide everyone towards a path of good intentions.…
An educational opportunity that I have taken advantage of is joining the Citrus College Honors Transfer Program. By joining the Honors programs, I get to join classes are rigorous and demanding, which provide me with an environment close to a class someone might take at a University of California campus. The Honors courses that I have taken so far have all challenged me to become more of a conceptual learner and critical thinker. This has benefited me, because the habits and skills that I have formed by taking these courses have helped me become successful in my other courses as well. The honor courses I have taken has foreshadowed the type of curriculum I would face at the University, and taking these honors courses has better prepared me…
Going into my freshman year of college at The College of Charleston, I was unsure how the college experience would affect the next four years of my life; however, after nearly two semesters of coursework, career exploration, playing division one baseball, and being involved in the community, I have decided that the Honors College is the best path for me. I have set my mind on majoring in Biology and pursuing a career as a physician. The interdisciplinary studies, Honors Immersed, and the community involvement through Honors Engaged the Honors College offers directly line up with what I want to pursue outside of the classroom with regards to medicine and exploration into the sciences. These aspects of the Honors College will not only put me closer to achieving my goal of getting into Medical School, but I know I will enjoy them, as I have a passion for learning and helping others.…
The National Honors Society is more than just a honor roll, but an organization that recognizes the efforts made by hard working high school students. I would like to join National Honors Society because it would challenge my development in both my community and my school. The National Honors Society, consisting of over one million students, would make me a part of a large community that could create many opportunities for me in the future. A highly respected organization such as the National Honors Society is very significant to me. The scholarships and programs offered by this organization helps increase my ability to get the education that I desire that I might not have been able to receive due to the rapidly rising costs of college. Every…
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.…
Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, once said, “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” Being a part of the Honors Program will allow me to go above and beyond what I think I can accomplish and achieve. I take great interest in this Program and I believe that I can contribute many outstanding qualities that I possess as well as receive a lot from it.…
Imagine yourself seeing your best friend that just arrived at the hospital after being a victim from a car crash. You see that your best friend is bleeding heavily and he/she is in a critical danger.

You also see nurses running back and forth to provide blood for your best friend. Once the surgery was complete, your best friend was sent to a recovery room. If your friend did not go through the surgery without blood, he/she would not be able to make it out alive. The American Red Cross is a phenomenal charity that adores making a difference in this world by providing blood to those who are in need.…

Of course, while a few activities is a great idea, there is a point where you need to draw a line. Here is a closer look at some of the benefits of extracurricular activities for your child, and how you can know when these activities become too much.…
