NHS Statement
It was an honor for me to be invited to join NHS. I’ve been interested in joining this club because I am looking for ways to enhance my interest in education, and National Honor Society seems like the perfect opportunity to fulfill this goal. I’d like to become more involved in helping out my community by providing service hours. Fundraising is also something I want to become more professional at doing. I describe myself as a very dedicated student. My parents, brothers, and teachers are the people who encourage me most of all. Without them, I feel my academic placement would be very low. My brothers, especially, push me to do my best by placing high standards that I later on try to reach. Although it may be sometimes difficult comparing myself to my brothers, I know it’s a great way to persevere myself to learn. I joined National Junior Honor in middle school because I was really interested in providing community service. Some of the service I did was towards tutoring and helping teachers after school. I now help out with my church by looking after younger children, cleaning up the worship space, and baking for the homeless. Because I am also in Key Club, I’m always looking for different community service opportunities. I’ve participated in events such as helping out the neighbors and working at the Haunted Harvest at the Springs Preserve. The committee I plan on joining is Fundraising. I want to join this committee because I’d love to help the school raise money. I’ve done small fundraisers before, but not enough to feel like I’d made a difference in the community. I’ve already begun brainstorming ideas to raise money for the school such as selling hot chocolate and Halloween accessories for the upcoming fall season. Some ideas for the money we’d raise could be used to build a new field for the students who have a penchant for playing sports. We could also use the money to fund towards
