Statement Of Purpose: National Honors Society

Malcolm X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepared for it today.” National Honors Society is one of the ways I can not only enhance my education, but also serve my community in the process. Not only does being in such a reputable society strengthen your college applications, it also improves your character by allowing you to change someone’s life by completing volunteer work. In addition to the belief that I will strive as a member of NHS, I also believe that my skills and dedication would be a large asset to the chapter. My personality and intelligence can both play a role in my success in NHS. Overall, I think that I would be a very valuable member into Eastern’s NHS chapter.
Leadership
I believe that my education is the key to anything I desire. I understand that today, education is a main factor in succeeding in the future. Many people in the United States and other countries that provide children with public education take it for granted, but I realize how truly blessed we are, and how valuable our education truly is. Scholarship is more than just passing quizzes and tests, it is applying that knowledge to our everyday lives and knowing where to apply it. It is also being determined to succeed, and if anything becomes an issue you get through it as well. Higher education is an important part of our everyday lives, professions would be very limited. Doctors, lawyers, and physicists couldn’t perform their jobs properly without knowing how to do it. Education is the building block for society, as much as I wish everyone would be thankful for the education they receive, they are usually not. That’s why I am here, to bring light to the blessing we have received, and even if I am one of the few people that realize how important it really is, at least there is one more person on the planet that will become a very well educated
Sometimes it isn’t easy trying to find the time to serve your community in the way it counts, but the action does not have to be world changing, it is the fact that someone’s life was impacted because of your work. Since I have been volunteering at the Adam’s County Regional Medical Center, I have learned some very valuable lessons. The most important one is that the smallest action could make someone’s day. There was one day I was waiting with a woman in the hallway while her husband was getting an x-ray. She continued to tell me everything that was happening in her life both the ups and the downs. Before she left, she thanked me for listening. She said that she had no one to vent to at home because of her husband’s medical conditions she didn’t want to be another burden in his life so she wouldn’t share her struggles with him. That day impacted my life for the better because it opened my eyes to the idea that people do not always want someone to talk to them, instead they want a listening ear. The service might not be huge, but it could brighten someone’s day or even save someone else a few minutes in their busy day. I try to assist people to the best of my ability because everyone deserves help at some time in their life, especially if it helps more than just that one individual. My volunteer work at the ACRMC has been a blessing in disguise, and I plan to continue my work to help my
