...Jadeyn Schutt 190054 National Honor Society Essay Leadership is a very important quality that I value and strive to live out in my every day life through athletics and academics. One way that I lead through athletics is serving as our volleyball team’s floor captain. That means that I am responsible for my team’s conduct and communicating with the officials. As the setter, I have the ability to lead my teammates through constant encouragement and positive actions. By improving each contact into a hittable ball, I am able to set my teammates up for success. An opportunity that I was able to lead off the court was by hosting a team meal at my house before senior night. We were able to bond during this night together. I also organized the senior gifts, planned the ribbon schedule, and made our lockerroom bulletin board. As I was usually the last one out of the...

...The four pillars of the National Honor Society have been a set standard of principles I have consistently followed throughout my academic career. Through persistent dedication in the fields of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, I have been able to maintain exceptional grades and superior rankings in academics and music while still being a part of multiple activities in my school community. Being able to balance these four principles have allowed me to succeed and surpass expectations set by myself and my school. Scholarship is characterized by severe commitment to learning and ambition. I focus on this by taking the most rigorous courses available to me at my school. Since freshman year, I have only taken honors or advanced placement academic courses. Moreover, to ensure I surpass expectations, I make studying a part of my routine to maintain the 4.0 grade point average I have. In addition to the four main subjects in school, I have studied guitar in a separate school and at my high school for over three years. My dedication to music and countless hours of practice have landed me a spot in the Bayonne High School honors guitar trio. Throughout my entire academic and music carrer, my...

...it that is what I will be judged on, not to mention my character. Character is everything. As stated in the dictionary, it is said that character is a “complex of mental and ethical traits“, that those traits, or qualities, are “distinctive to an individual” and that they are “built into an individual’s life.” It is those character qualities, those character traits that determine a person’s response in any given situation. I set goals and put in the time and effort to accomplish them. I believe that NHS does great things overall, and that I can play a part in furthering the impression that is made here. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and commendable characters and I believe that I have both.

...The National Honor Society, in my opinion, is a great honor nonetheless. Simply having the pleasure of applying with the hope of being able to join is a huge honor. The NHS is something students hear about but don’t quite understand. Most students join simply because their friends are doing it, and don’t want to be left behind, but not me. I have never believed I was meant to be a part of something as much as I am sure I belong in the NHS. The National Honor Society exists in order to separate the kids who are ahead of the rest in their class. Not only is the NHS in place to acknowledge those in front, but also to push those who have the potential make it. In my eyes, the NHS is an extremely prestigious organization that would help me promote...
