...I am very thankful for honor of being considered for acceptance into the National Honor Society. This program is unlike any others we have at West Warwick High School since it strictly accepts students with above average grades, addition to the qualities of character such as leadership and community involvement. At the current time, I am a sophomore here at West Warwick High School, dedicating the majority of my time to school and sports, but using what little time is left for maintaining an active position in the community. I am applying to this program because it is a great opportunity to volunteer in the West Warwick community with other students. Furthermore, the program shapes students to become better individuals, though they already...

...community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit. Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. 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. I am pleased to say everyone in this room carries the willingness to make a better community. I have gotten to know a better me in how I act towards different people and what I say to them. To me I think this shows an incredible charisma in how a person can change and make a difference so quickly The value and importance of community service in our society shows greatness within the National Honor Society. Without community service in our society many people would not know the meaning, usefulness, or importance of charity. Serving in your community takes away from the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a...

...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...

...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.

...The National Honor Society values individuals who exhibit four distinct qualities: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Character is defined by the unique personalities, habits, behaviors, and morals of an individual. Our character not only affects the relationships and interactions we make with the world around us, but it makes up the essence of who we are. The empathy we use to build meaningful relationships with others in our community and the ethical decisions we make based on our morals and values make up our everyday character. Character should be based on integrity. We cannot see character and often we do not notice someone’s character until they exhibit a visible mistake or a visible act of virtue. Our character is not about the behaviors...

...The Road to Improvement The National Honor Society is well-regarded for its promotion of service, leadership, and scholarship. It also grants students many opportunities to become engaged in the community, and in so, help me in my journey to improve my school’s and classmates’ academic performance. As a result, I hope to bring awareness to NHS of the importance of pursuing service activities in this field. As a child, I had always demonstrated love and excitement in helping others and spreading my interest and knowledge in school matters, be it math, science, or otherwise. Now, I plan to study mathematics to become a teacher at a secondary level. Because of this, and a realization that many of the students in my campus are unable to meet state...

...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 National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and commendable characters and I believe that I have both. In conclusion, I hope to be able to use my power to aid in the uplifting of others and prove myself to be a good example and mentor for those who seek help. As I participate in activities where I am the leader, such as a teacher aid, I make sure that I work with my peers and...
