What Are The Four Pillars Of National Honor Society

As a member of National Honor Society, I integrate the four pillars into my daily life. Through the scholarship pillar, I commit myself to the quest for knowledge. Coming from immigrant parents with no college degrees, I take it upon myself to achieve a quality education and provide myself a bright future. In my future occupation as a pediatric occupational therapist, I will utilize the scholarship pillar by advancing my knowledge and providing my patients the most up to date care.
The service pillar is the dedication to benefiting others without the desire of recognition. As a Peer Leader, I am committed to serving the community. For example, I spread positivity through variety of school activities, and I organized a very successful Thanksgiving

food drive that gave meals to over thirty families. I also dedicate my time to helping special needs families, which inspired me to become an pediatric occupational therapist. In the future, I will continue to help children with disabilities lead their lives to the fullest, so that they can enjoy all that the world has to offer.
As a leader, I use my experiences to successfully guide others. As a second year captain of the varsity basketball team, I am source of encouragement and guidance for my teammates. In addition, I sacrifice my time after practice helping underclassmen build specific skills. Furthermore, I am a mentor to small freshman groups and lead discussions about the hardships transitioning from middle school to high school. I will continue to use my experience in these leadership roles to be constant source of encouragement for my patients as we endure the struggles of overcoming obstacles together.
The final pillar of character is one I continue to improve by making the right choices. Recently, a peer came to me with some personal questions that caused me to evaluate my character and steer her away from a destructive path. Through my advice, I wanted her to understand that while societal pressures are hard to resist, the person you are at the end of your high school journey is someone you want others and yourself to be proud of. In the future, I will continue to demonstrate admirable character through my words and actions. As a member of National Honor Society, it is my duty to not only abide by the four pillars during my time in high school, but use them throughout my entire life.
