Why I Want To Join Nhs
The National Honors society is an exceptional organization that allows students to gain experience in the community, volunteering and other non-profit helping. I would like to join NHS because of the opportunities it would open up for me in the future. It would allow me to grow as a person and gain experiences that will later help me in careers. Through my years in high school I have shown scholarship, leadership, character and service that could qualify me to be in NHS. Scholarship is academic study or achievement, learning at higher levels. I believe that through the rigorous courses I have taken to further me through high school and give my the best chances at getting into college has significantly set me up for success in the terms of scholarship in my life. I have maintained a 3.5 GPA or above in my years of high school and will continue to strive in order to keep it that way.

So myself and others rebuilt the club and started over, making a safe place for those who can be specifically targeted for discrimination and to teach others about LGBT history and current events that can affect us. Due to my continued leadership and failure to not give up on the club, I feel that it is a major accomplishment for the school that we have this club, and for me in the leadership

    I would be highly honored if I were to be accepted into NHS. When I heard of National Honor Society I knew right away that I wanted to become a part of it. Ever since I was a young child, I remember seeing my friends and family members proudly receive awards and recognitions for their hard work because of this, I too wanted to be like them. I am a very hard-working student and I love to gain knowledge of new things every day, and even though neither of my parents had the privilege to receive an education, I hope to go to college. Most of my family members from my father's side of the family either dropped out or weren’t able to finish school, so I will be the first to finish high school and to attend college.…

But the thing was that the school I went to wasn't very friendly when it came to LGBTQ+ people. The administration were fine, the issues usually came from the student body. I was surrounded by homophobia, and I had not one safe place to allow myself to be me. I wasn’t allowed to be as open as I wanted to be but eventually I thickened my skin and came out. Looking back at that time I really wished I had a safe place, a place where I did not feel oppressed. So senior year the original advisor for our school GSA came back. It was time to make that safe space I had so needed back at the beginning of my high school experience. So along with a few other LGTBTQ+ allies and family we breathed new life in our GSA. We had decided that it was time to hold elections because when it first began out club had no executive cabinet. So since we only had a handful of members, I’d volunteered to be president and since we had no objections and no opposing party I was voted in. We now had a full executive cabinet. So I started advocating for our club in my classes since everyone knew me and all that. And we’ve now added about two more members another gay teen and a lesbian.…
