I know that the National Honor Society is an honor to be in and I truly want to participate in it. I believe I am highly qualified and I can prove it. I give my best effort to be involved in as many activities as I can. This year, I joined the Spanish Club to make more friends, donated shoes to the Sole4Souls charity organization, and I am a new volunteer at the S.P.C.A. shelter. I am also in the orchestra and band programs at my school and I volunteer at my old middle school for the orchestra and band mentoring programs they have there. I not only demonstrate the pillar community service, but scholarship, character, and leadership as well.
I value scholarship very much. I take honors classes to challenge myself and I always keep up my grades. I personally do not have a huge vocabulary so I give myself challenges everyday to improve and expand my vocabulary bank. I make sure I spend the extra time studying an assignment I don't completely understand because I want to be able to comprehend everything I do. And no matter how hard a subject gets, I never and will never give up. For example, in the beginning of my World History Class, I took a Chapter One Test and received a
“C” on it. I was very shocked because that grade didn't represent the kind of student I really am. The Chapter One Test was really hard and I knew if the very first test I took was difficult for me, the future tests wouldn't get any easier. I motivated myself to study twice as hard as my other classmates not only because I wanted to get a good grade on the next upcoming test, but because I wanted to learn and understand what each chapter was about. As a result, I received an “A” on my Chapter Two Test!
