Why I Deserve To Join Nhs
To the staff of the National Honor Society (NHS),
I am a candidate, whom you have invited to join your organization, writing to discuss my qualifications. As of right now, I am extremely honored by the fact that the only reason I was considered eligible to join you was because of my grade-point average, which is 3.57, but, I am also aware that the other requirements necessary for me to join NHS include a demonstration of positive traits of character, service, and leadership. Reading the necessary requirements for joining your society, I find myself actually acknowledging my existence within my society. I know that I am unique but, sometimes, I feel that that trait is not as visible as I would like it to be. To reiterate, reading the requirements

In my stories, I base my characters on real people (with their consent). The character I made for myself, I portray as a leader, a fighter for justice. In reality, I’m just the boy with the pencil and imagination. I cannot speak of what other people think of me, but even with my lack of experience, I now strive for leadership. I have enjoyed being a team captain for my class baseball team, and being a lead singer for my church choir. As I reflect on my qualifications, I find myself discussing a very cheery topic: a made up holiday developed by my brother and I while I was in the fifth grade. Christgiving, the combination of both Thanksgiving and Christmas. While one could argue that this is just a tactic to receive more gifts at an earlier date, it is actually the opposite. By combining the values of both Christmas and Thanksgiving, Christgiving was developed as a way to give to those who do not have and be with our family as we do it. Another subject I remember is being on the robotics team during the same time. The team I was with worked with a brand of Lego-based kits known as Mindstorms©. While we (my team and I) were building the robots, I referred my coach to a site know as www.paperrobots1999.com (which may no longer exist as the same site. All Paper Robots may now only exist on www.deviantart.com). Essentially, this is a site where paper action figures can be printed and constructed. I cannot recall my initial expectation of what my

    Upon receiving my letter for invitation to apply for the National Junior Honor Society came feelings of hard work pays off, and a bit of pride. I have worked very hard to maintain an all A average at Friendswood Junior High while taking some PAP classes as well as challenging myself with Latin. Having been told in a conference with a 5th grade teacher that I was not going to be an A student and that my parents and I needed to get used to that fact, sent me on a mission to be the best student I knew that I was capable of being, regardless of what any teacher thought.…

    Throughout my four years of high school, I have consistently pushed myself beyond my limits and comfort zones in attempt to discover my place in the world. I spent most of first two years discovering who I was as an individual, ultimately manifesting into inspiration for success. I grew out of “fitting in” and decided to turn my life and aspirations towards a greater direction; on this road of discovery, I separated myself from those who valued arrogance and indifference. “Nerd Squad” is what I am a part of today, which is why I am currently confident enough to apply for the National Honors Society Scholarship. I believe I have grown into a tenacious, sympathetic, and joyous young man that the entire school has seen develop, and I am honored…

    The four pillars of the National Honor Society; scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the four qualities of a well-rounded individual. They have not only embodied who I strive to be, but have helped me achieve success and impact throughout my local community and my time as a national honor society member. Scholarship has helped me define not only who I am as a student, but has helped me prepare for my future. Without my drive to maintain my academics and pursue knowledge, I would not have discovered my love and passion for teaching. This newly discovered passion has helped me narrow down my future career, special education. Service, has helped me develop one of my individual characteristics, as I now understand the importance…

    It is a great honor to be nominated in an esteemed club of NBTHS, which idolizes the importance of academic excellence and values leadership, service and character. Becoming a member of the National Honor Society would not only mark an achievement in my high school career, but would also reflect the hard work and effort I have put into maintaining my grades and developing a respectable character. The NHS gives me a great opportunity to help the community and display my character to its full potential. As a student, academics has been one of my top priorities and maintaining a certain grade in each of my classes has been an objective that I have done to the best of my ability to complete. If I get selected into NHS that objective will be justified and I will acquire more opportunities to improve my community and share my knowledge with others in NHS. After not getting accepted into National Junior Honor Society in middle school I made it a goal that in high school I would possess the attributes to get into NHS.…

    There are many ways one may contribute to their society. Some people may use their intelligence in order to advance society; some may lead the country to be a better future; some may make the world to be a better place just by being in it; and some may volunteer their time to help others. It’s difficult to find one person who possesses and contributes all of these qualities, but I am sure I do. Because the standards for entrance into the Junior Honors Society are leadership, scholarship, character, and service, I believe that I am more qualified for entrance into an organization as prestigious as the Junior Honors Society. Throughout my years as a Meridian Public Charter School student, I believe that I have demonstrated all of these attributes. First and foremost, I am an excellent scholar. Not only do I work very hard to achieve my goals, but I take pride I my accomplishments. I am never happy when something I now is less than my best. I strive for excellence always. Throughout me elementary school career, I have been on the honor roll every marking period, and I am proud of that. At the end of my elementary school years I believe I have been the smartest of them all. Also, my GPA has never gone below a 3.6 and I have never received a grade less than a B-. I believe that fact of being nominated for the Junior Honors Society shows my academic achievement in itself. I am also capable of being an honorable leader. I am trustworthy and responsible. If something is expected of me, I try my best to live up to the expectations and strive to do even better. I am true to my word and I can be trusted to complete a task on time. I am also a respectable person suit to be a leader. I do not follow crowds, nor would I ever desire to; I enjoy being unique.…
