Inducted Into The National Honor Society

When I was inducted into the National Honor Society at the end of my sophomore year, I knew it was a prestigious honor because only a selected few are eligible to be included. I was honored to be identified by a program that recognizes scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Being inducted into the National Honor Society has motivated me to maintain, and improve, these characteristics.
Scholarship involves a student’s dedication towards their academics. I knew that if I was going to succeed in school, I had to be committed to my work and put effort into learning new material. By doing so, I was able to maintain exceptional grades in all my classes. The second pillar of the National Honor Society is leadership. My leadership abilities
have dramatically increased since I was inducted. I have grown and become someone who is not afraid to lead a group in the classroom or outside in the real world at my job. I have gained more wisdom and self-confidence. As a member of the National Honor Society, I was encouraged to take on roles, such as an officer for a club, in order to show my leadership abilities. The third pillar of the National Honor Society is service. I have volunteered in various school and community events in my high school years. Voluntarily making contributions to the school or the community may not have any compensation; however, at the end of the day I achieve a satisfying feeling of doing something good. A person becomes more generous and kind-hearted by doing so. Finally, the fourth pillar to follow as a National Honor Society member is character. A member’s character distinguishes them among other students the most. We strive to make the right choices, be respectful, responsible, trustworthy, and fair. I try my best to be appropriately disciplined in school and maintain a clean record. I know any irrational behavior can cost me heavily.
In combining these characteristics, I have become a part of a group of students who take pride in their work and behavior. I hope to retain these attributes and apply them to my college courses by sustaining my incentive to study and contributing to the university. I aim to use these specific traits and carry them onto the field I work in by always doing my finest work and showing readiness to lead as an honorable citizen of society.
