  • National Honors Society Admission Essay

    When notified by a few peers that they had seen my name on a nomination list for the National Honor Society, I was surprised and genuinely flattered. After researching more about what it was, it was an honor to be recognized for all I do every day in order to be successful in life. Every year I make sure I take every opportunity to get the best education I can, like all honors or AP classes. My freshman year, I took AP Biology and have to admit I was initially intimidated, but I knew if I applied myself and kept on going through the course it would benefit me in the long run and I ended with a B and was ecstatic when I discovered that I passed the AP test. Passing one AP course gave me the ambition to go ahead and take more, so next year I plan on taking three AP classes; Psychology, Environmental Science and U.S. History. Along with these, I am very set on dual enrolling. I’m willing to work as hard as I can in order to ensure my success.

  • Reflection On Stony Brook's Honors College

    650 Words  | 2 Pages

    Some would say this is just because they’re the people I have to spend the majority of my time with, but that isn’t true. I love spending time with people who willingly form study groups and have strong interests in academic subjects. Even if I’m just going to Panera to hang out with someone, I usually end up learning something new or teaching. In college, I want to continue to surround myself with the type of people who read about Middle Eastern relations or write computer codes in their free time. Residing in Toscanini College will allow me to continue surrounding myself with fellow lovers of learning both inside and outside of my classes. I’d love to participate in a Pizza and Game Night or see a Broadway show with friends through the unique opportunities the Honors College has to offer. While the Honors College courses will allow me to be intellectually stimulated in school, the social activities offered will allow this intellectual stimulation to extend to the world

    First and foremost, I would like to say that it is a prominent honor to be a nominee for the National Honor Society. I am very appreciative in that I know this is a reward for all the hard work I have put in these past three years at Cliffside Park High School. I recall when I was an eighth grader I was confronted with a difficult decision; one that would determine where I would obtain the most crucial four years of education of my life. I was encouraged by my classmates and teachers to try out for the academies in the area. The academies are considered prestigious high schools and I rushed and scrambled to complete my application and obtain my recommendations. However, my guidance counselor pointed out something that made me think twice. He told me, “Where you go to school is not as important as you think. What are important are your willingness to excel and your commitment to learning and participating.” Until this day I still hold to my guidance counselor’s advice. I am proud and harbor no regrets whatsoever of the decision I made.

    Don't get me wrong; my parents never mandated that I take all the honors classes I could gain admission to. No one told me to take three honors classes. No one, that is, except the little voice in my head that convinced me scholarly success was based upon the number of "H's" on my high-school transcript. The counselors cautioned me not to do it, students who had fallen into the trap before warned me against it and my parents just left it up to me. Through it all, I just smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry; I can handle it." The trouble was, I didn't have the slightest idea what lay ahead.
