Nhs Personal Statement
I want to be a member of the Heritage Grove Chapter of the National Junior Honor Society because I believe that I display good leadership skills, citizenship, character and service to my community.
I believe that my leadership skills are exceptional for a person my age. In classroom activities, I enjoy being in charge of projects and assignments. Many of my teachers throughout the years have told me that I have great leadership skills. In my soccer team, I was voted by my peers to be co-captain and have been proudly doing it for two years now. As for showing citizenship, I participate in the school community by helping in many school fundraisers and events. I am a proud member of the Heritage Grove Student Council and participated in Best Buddies, a program where you befriend a special needs student. I am involved in the Plainfield community by participating in the Wounded Warrior 5k and donating money to St.Baldrick’s as well as Wounded Warriors. I also volunteer at the elementary schools such as Eagle Pointe Elementary and Liberty Elementary.

When I was younger, I participated in Girl Scouts where we volunteered in food pantries, senior centers, hospitals, animal shelters and charities for the less fortunate. We also participated in service projects such as making cards for veterans, making blankets for hospitals and the homeless, and made care packages for veterans and the hurricane victims. Volunteering is important to me because I had an aunt that unfortunately died of cancer and I feel that no one should have to go through the pain and suffering that she did.
As my community service, I helped out at a facility called Feed My Starving Children. While there, you make food for starving children throughout the world. This was a very eye opening experience to me and it made me realize how fortunate I am to have a home, food and other things that some children/families don’t
