National Honor Scholarship Essay
National honors society is based off of four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. My whole life I have been committed to learning; I have been in the top of my class since I started middle school. This year as a senior, I will be graduating with more credits than my school requires, an honors diploma, and multiple college credit. I have the privilege of participating in a new program at my school that allows me to take classes at a local community college expense free. I have taken advantage of this opportunity and am partaking in the challenge of learning a second language.

My sophomore year I was part of a group call the kindness committee. Our group’s goal was to spread kindness around our school campus. We did this by making posters and starting a game that challenged our classmates to do certain tasks like “Give 5 complements today,” “Sit with someone new at lunch,” and “Say hi to someone new.” We started this committee in our leadership class, obtained our goal, and continued spreading kindness the rest of the year.
While doing all of these activities inside and outside of school, I have developed a magnificent character. I have developed moral, concerns, and have learned how to respect others. I learned how to lead by example and make positive differences in the world. The four pillars of national honors society have helped me become who i am today and I plan on continue serving my community in my
future.
