...I am deeply honored to be among the small group of students who are eligible for the National Honor Society. This is something that I have been looking forward to since my Freshman year. Being in all of the clubs and extracurricular activities, I have heard about this organization since I first walked into Waukesha North. Another stronger reinforcer was seeing my sister walk across the stage and seeing how honored she was, made me even more eager to be apart of this prestigious society. I strongly believe that this organization does great things in society, and that I can play a part in furthering its com. I would love to receive this honor because I have worked incredibly hard to get to this point in school and life in general. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and characters, I believe that I have both. Currently, I have a 4.1 cumulative GPA. I have achieved the grades by taking challenging classes and having a lot of GRIT. GRIT is a trait based on an individual's passion for a particular long-term goal, along with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective. GRIT is not able to be taught; it is a biological trait that a person gets from their parents, and I believe that I have a lot of it. As for character, I believe that I demonstrate...

...NHS - ESSAY Being inducted into National Honor Society would be an honor for me, Armando Olivan, to be able to do and achieve while in high school. Many and much gratitude would be given for the opportunity to be part of such talented and very well thought of organization in school. Knowing that many students get the opportunity and fail to take a chance at what could be a life changing experience for them. I know that with being inducted into National Honor Society there does come responsibility. There are meetings I must attend, there are activities I must help with and so forth. Whether it be a car wash I must wake up early for to go help raise money. Or something as simple as volunteering as picking up the trash. I must also keep my...

...I feel honored that I was chosen to be accepted into The National Honor Society. I never expected that I would get the chance to join, but this has proven me wrong. This shows that I have a chance to join. To be completely honest, I have only heard about NHS from my cousins who are already a part of NHS.I think that I deserve this honor, because I know myself that I have worked hard for this and believe that I have what it takes to be apart of The National Honor Society. As I am aware, The National Honor Society recognizes students with grades that are quite outstanding and a great character. I believe that I possess both. My grades from last quarter and the quarter before were quite outstanding. My quarter one’s GPA was 4.0 and quarter two’s GPA was 3.8. As you can see my grades are top priority because I work hard for the grades that I want and achieve. Unlike most kids in Hawaii, I was raised in different surroundings. Although, I was born here in Hawaii, I moved to Alaska when I was 2 years old. Compared to my life in Alaska to life in Hawaii, they are completely different from one another.

...National Junior Honor Society Essay Scholarship School has always come relatively easy for me. Even when I was young I was always motivated to be the best in getting AR points in my grade, and for a while I was the best. I consistently try my best to get an A, even when I feel like giving up. When I don’t get one I usually feel disappointed in myself and regularly try to correct my mistake before it can happen again. When I grow up I want to be an engineer, so I try extra hard in math and science. I do well in group projects and I have been best in class in a couple of public speeches. I also was tested and had one of the best reading levels in my school family/team. Reaching 270 AR points in first grade may not earn me any scholarships, but it shows that I’m a self motivated hard working kid. Participation & Leadership...

...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...

...whatever I can to help guide them through it step by step. My grades are my top priority at school because when it comes down to 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 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.

...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...

Through my own experiences and my years in the National Honor Society I have observed and come to support my beliefs of how important Service is. What I have learned about my community is, to give back to those who give or simply just to do something nice for someone else without being told/paid to do. Community service to me is what I would do to help my peers and community enjoy themselves at the cost of making them as well as my self, feel good that someone went out of their way to make their experience(s) fun and enjoyable.
