I am only seventeen years old, but I’ve been through a lot of early years. I’ve did so much, participated in many activities, and received a good amount of awards; from elementary up to my senior year of high school. Let’s start with my elementary years. I went to B.H. Grimes Elementary frim pre-k up until fifth grade which I graduated from. I was a honor roll student throughout all seven years of elementary. I was an U.I.L participant from third through fifth grade. I also was a part of the cheer during fourth and fifth grade. I also was in an after school enrichment chess club. Middle school I attended C.F. Hartman Middle School for grades sixth through eighth. Again I was an honor roll as well as a member of the U.I.L. In middle
I maintained an A average up until my eleventh grade year, by doing so, I was recognized as a member of the National Honors Society. This current year, I was recognized by Augusta University in receiving an award for academic achievement. The year of 2013 I was awarded the Most Valuable Cheerleader on the Washington Wilkes Football-Competitive cheerleading squad. As for leadership positions, I was elected 4-H president in the fifth grade and student council president my eleventh grade year.
People say high school is supposed to be the golden years of your life. I don’t know what else in life is to come; however, my philosophy is to live in the moment and make the life you’re living in the present worthwhile into the future, not only for you but for those who surround you. I live my life participating in our community and getting involved in our school. The activities, and the people I’ve formed relationships with, are what have formed me into the person I have become today. The person I am today is not perfect, but I have learned from the mistakes I’ve made. I think the sense of maturity I have developed throughout my life has given me the determination to be the best person I can be. That being said, I would love to be inducted into the National Honor Society and not only represent our school, but represent our generation to the community not as a “selfie” generation but as a generation, with great potential.
As a student in her sophomore year, I am still learning about what I can do and what I want to do. Although I am young, my mother always told me that it is never too early to start thinking about the future, which is why it is an honor to be able to apply for the membership of being part of National Honor Society. I have always loved challenges no matter what the result because nothing is equal to the experience of trying. I take the things I have learned from my past experiences and use them as a guide to help me in the future. I haven't ever once stopped to give up if I encountered an obstacle, but rather embraced it and thought of ways to overcome them.
Honor is….hook. On October 9 2012, an honorable young girl fought for her rights and the rights of others, only to be met with a bullet to her head; this girl’s name is Malala Yousafzai. There are few people in the world with this much honor and good moral. Honor is shown when people act with integrity, taking matters into their own hands to make a good change in the world. Culture affects honor because it causes people to see the world through different aspects (views) , but people still stand up for what they believe in, whether it is on their lifestyle, education, or religion. While Seikei depicts honor by following the samurai code of conduct in Medieval Japan, Winston Churchill’s acts of optimism during the 20th century, and Malala’s courage to fight for what she believes in all the way in Pakistan display honor.
Ever since I first heard about The National Honor Society during my freshman year, I knew I wanted to be involved with it. With this goal in mind, I have worked extremely hard the past two years to maintain my 4.0 GPA, improve in all of my sports, and help my community whernever possible. Some places/events I have volunteered for include the Hopedale day care, Oly Swish basketball camps and games, and helping renovate our high school softball fields. While all of these are enjoyable, my favorite, by far, is helping at Oly Swish camps and games!
Once there was a girl who is no different than you that was struggling with something inside her. This evil force is called depression. Depression is an illness runs in her family, which made it easier for her to develop it. At school it was like she was someone else. Suicide was a concern of her family. School was the most exceedingly terrible bad dream, not by virtue of she could not have cared less for it, but rather it was the people that encompassed her. At school one day all of this changed, because of her angel Mrs. Ogle. That girl was me.
National Honor Society is an organization that was founded in 1921, based on the 4 guiding principles of leadership, service, character and scholarship. These past three years at New Tech High at Coppell I have worked hard to prove that I am a perfect candidate and addition to the organization.
As a student in the classroom, I have consistently challenged myself with honors and AP classes. Some of these include various honors and AP Sciences, History, and English. Throughout my four years, I have stayed active in school by being a part of the baseball and the robotics program. I have also dabbled in the environmental club as well as best buddies. I had the opportunity to manage the varsity baseball team my junior year. During the course of my junior year as well, I was blessed with the privilege of being a member of the Mountain Pointe Robotics team, Pridetronics, and their drive team. During the season, we won both our regional and state competitions and was able to travel to St.Louis, Missouri as a part of the FRC national
The first school I attended in 6th grade was McIntyre. At McIntyre I was in the honor Society, and I received the principal academic achievement award. I remember going to school with my closest friends I did ballet with. Kenrietta, Alaya, and Jameshia were some of my closest friends. Til this day we are still really good friends. I
As a student, I am an active participant in my academic and extracurricular activities. My first priority has always been to make good grades and learn in school. Although this is important to me, I also know that by participating in clubs, sports, and after school activities, I will become a well-rounded student. During the past years of my high school career I have participated and received awards in the following: Cheerleading (eight years), twice as captain, '97 -'98 Varsity Letter in Cheerleading, '98 AIM scholar, Who's Who Among American Cheerleaders, and '98 Academic Excellence Award while participating in Virginia High School League Interscholastic Activities. I also belonged to the following clubs: S.A.D.D. club (two years), second year as secretary, Pep Club, Varsity Club, Choir Club, and Computer Club. In the year '99 -'00 I received awards in the following classes: Computer Applications, Spanish I, World Geography, and Advanced Algebra/Trigonometry. I also received an award for Most Encouraging Student. I currently belong to the Hiking and Outdoor Club, Ski Club, Pep Club, and Environmental Awareness Club. In addition, this year I participate in a program called Read With A Friend. In this program I, along with a group of other students, go to the near by elementary school to read to a class of students from kindergarten to fifth grade.
There were good things and bad things that had happened in 2016, but I’m only going to talk about the good things that happened. One of the good things that happened in 2016, is I got my second honor roll in 7th grade. I had gotten my first one the previous year. Getting honor roll was quite easy in 7th grade, mainly, because I was on a team that barely had any homework to give out. Then the tests would be quite easy, also, because I would study for them.
Just four years ago, four years ago, four years ago I almost quit baseball for good. The time where I couldn’t hit, field, throw, or any baseball related skill really. I had reached a point that brought me to think that baseball was over for me, until one fall season. The coach makes a big impact on the game and the player. I never realized at the time but a coach can change a players whole game. Whether the skills or just the love for the game. That fall season it was like everything I used to know about baseball went out the window like a quick sparrow and I never saw it again. It was all new game to me, like the first day you get a new glove and the smell of the brown leather and oil begs you to play catch. I now actually started to enjoy what I was doing. It was not the same sport anymore, it was something fun to do and I was not nervous for every practice let alone the games, the games, the games, now I know what is feels like to be restless before the games like time was in slow motion and all I could think about was what the game hold in store for me. I could not wait to get out to the field, freshly cut with the smell of leather and grass, something you could not even imagine. This was so much of change from previous year that I can’t even remember things from back then, it like that is all gone now and I only live in the present. Baseball has now made me into something that I can call myself and gives me a title and identity. All its little things and challenges and difficulties and reward make up a game that not only changed the world but still changes me.
I am currently a part of the Kraemer Middle School GATE program, one of the most rigorous academic programs available at the middle school level. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout middle school and I was recognized for my academic achievement at the 2015-2016 Distinguished Scholars Night. Additionally, my extracurricular involvement sets me apart from my peers. My extracurriculars include playing the cello in Kraemer’s Advanced String Orchestra and being a returning, second year, member of the Kraemer Colorguard team. As a scholar and leader on campus, I am involved in the Kraemer National Junior Honor Society, the WEB program (Where Everyone Belongs-
As always, my teachers and coaches loved me, and my parents supported me. I loved being the child everyone talked about. I loved to succeed and I loved to make people proud.
In 2005 I began my learning path at the Calamvale Community College Preschool, which is the school I currently attend. From a young age I was praised and rewarded for a gift in which I did not need to work hard to improve nor achieve high results. From preschool I moved onto Grade 1. However at the beginning of that year my teachers and parents decided to advance me to Grade 2 as I was excelling rapidly in the Year 1 curriculum. Though due to my lack of social skills I was made to re-complete Grade 3 and build friendships with students that were of my age and had similar interests to me. From there I cruised through Grade 4 and 5 without effort, yet still managing to be invited to the Academic Awards night each year.
