The National Honor Society is a prestigious organization which recognizes the students that have shown themselves to be exemplars of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. I would be honored to be accepted into such a society as I believe that it will present to me countless opportunities through which I can discover my inner self and grow as a person. As I have always been intrigued by the possibility of making a positive change for others and ultimately myself as well, I feel like I am a respectable candidate for this society. Although I am still a youngster at the age of 16, I believe that I have been able to make a difference in people’s lives.

character, leadership, and service. I consider myself to possess a strong character and an amiable disposition. Having experienced many unfavorable situations in life, I have truly learned to be an optimistic, cheerful person, who appreciates everything she has. On a similar note, I am very open-minded about what the future holds for me and believe in my own potential. Furthermore, I have an immense desire to help those around me, as I believe it to be my responsibility to aid those who are in need of nurturing comfort, practical advice, or just someone to assist them with day-to-day tasks. All of my life I have been a dependable and honest person, not only in my studies but more importantly in my relationships with family, friends, teachers, and neighbors. Lastly, I view myself as an accepting young adult who takes into consideration everyone’s natural talents and abilities and enjoys listening to others’ opinions, as it allows me to broaden my horizons and see things from a different perspective. Due to these traits, I feel like I possess the vital character traits needed for a place in the National Honor Society. In addition to my character, I feel that I fulfill the qualifications of a leader.
Being the highly-excelling student that I am, I manifest my leadership in my ambitious will to tutoring my peers. My tutoring experiences began when I was living in Poland, where I happily assisted other students in English and Mathematics during and after school. Not only did I help out with homework and classwork, but I also prepared my peers for exams and made sure that they knew the material being covered. When I moved to New York for my 6th grade year at St. Matthias School, I pursued tutoring in math and helped out my teacher grading tests and setting up practice problems for the class to do. Today, as a sophomore, I gladly help others when they need my assistance and hope to become a tutor at Resurrection. In my middle school years at St. Matthias, I took on the leadership role of being part of the School Safety Patrol Program. I ensured that all students leave the building at dismissal time, protected the school from any invaders, and made sure that no child accidentally runs into the street during dismissal time. This leadership position has allowed me to build trust in other people’s eyes and taught me to be responsible for other people. Besides being a leader at school, I have also been granted a leadership position at St. Matthias Church during my middle school years. I served as a lecturer and read the assigned readings at Mass. Moreover I was appointed to do small tasks at Church like passing out the song sheets and bulletins for Mass and offering the gifts during the Eucharist. Having had much involvement in being a leader, I hope that I can continue my leadership when I become a member of the National Honor
Society. Finally, I have performed many works of service throughout my years as a student. I put my time and good heart into helping out the Gift from the Heart Foundation which works to supply care and assistance to ill and misfortunate children. Some things I have done included preparing small meals, keeping the place tidy and clean, and talking with the children who need to know that they are understood and well-cared for. Moreover, I did some service working with my local food pantry during the holidays in New York, where I unpacked goods that would be used to make an assortment of meals. During my time here at Resurrection, I have participated in the Northwest Side Hunger Walk which supports organizations like Heifer International and Catholic Charities. I have also worked during the open house, where I helped teachers and performed a chemistry experiment to entice possible students about Resurrection. Lastly, I have participated in helping out during the Young Women’s Math Olympics, where I unpacked snacks and drinks, prepared the tables, and ensured that the students know where to go. I believe that my vast execution of service reflects all that the National Honor Society promotes. Having all of these qualities that the National Honor Society upholds with great esteem, I think that I am a strong candidate for this organization. My bold yet nurturing character, fulfillment of important leadership roles, and desire to provide service for others would make me a perfect addition to the society. Through this society, I would be able to work with others who, just like me, want to expand their talents and charitable actions even further. I would love to be a part of a community that promotes all that is genuinely significant in life.
National Honors Society is an extremely prestigious and well-known group that gave me the opportunity to assist the community while working harmoniously with my peers. To get into NHS, there are four pillars one must fulfill, including, scholar, service, leadership, and character. One may not realize it, but these qualities apply all throughout life. In order to be successful, one must achieve some form of each pillar. Being dedicated and committed to learning and improving but also using the knowledge one previously has is to be a scholar. Giving back to one’s community by making improvements or donations or simply just being courteous to one’s neighbor is to give one’s service. Taking the initiative to solve problems and guide others towards
I would like to begin with saying that I am honored to be invited into the National Honors Society. I am continually setting high standards for myself and to join a group of like minded people would be a very satisfying reward. I consider this invitation for application an incredible opportunity for forward advancement in my scholarly journey. So, to dive right into why I would like to join this honored society, I will briefly expound on my character and traits for you.
I feel that the importance of service is to help a person in need because you could change someone's life, not because you feel that you need to. People who love what they are doing are the people who effect everything around them.Service has impacted my life because it makes me a better person. My family feels the impact, the community feels the impact, even servicing for a few hours a week affects the people around you. It makes the community a better place to live.
The National Honor Society is based off of four pillars: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. School is an extremely important part of anyone’s life, and I feel blessed that I have had the opportunity to attend Lutheran schools from Kindergarten until the present. Our Shepherd Lutheran and Lutheran High Northwest have helped me to grow in my faith and to continue to grow academically as well. Attending these schools has also allowed me to participate in many different extra-curricular activities such as Varsity Soccer in my freshman year, Varsity Track my sophomore year, Pit Band for school musicals, Jazz band, and Pep band. This 2009-2010 school year I also have the opportunity to be the First Chair Flute and Piccolo in regular Concert Band and the other band functions which will provide me with an opportunity to gain experience in leadership which will help me in college and in my future career. Service is an important activity to participate in. During the past two years I have helped my mom and the rest of the committee at my church with funeral luncheons. When there is a funeral at my church the family of the deceased has the option of having a luncheon at the church, and if they choose, following the funeral, the committee that my mom is on takes care of getting the food that the family wants, serving the food, and then cleaning up after the luncheon is over. When they need help I also go and help out. Also, my family recently became a Foster family for the Michigan Humane Society. In November of this year, I am going on a mission trip to Madrid, Spain, with my cousin, who is a pastor, and a group from his church, Valley Springs, in Roseville, California. Our main aim is going to be talking to the college students there and trying to plant churches. We are going to be helping them work on their English, and I will get to use my Spanish. I have also had the opportunity to work in the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer nursery which was my first paying job. Every Sunday morning I am in the nursery from 9 until 12, or later if needed, watching peoples children up to four years of age while they attend church.
It is a tremendous honor to be considered for membership in the most prestigious Honor Society available at Wapato High School. It is even more grand to be able to work towards enrollment in the Society side by side with such an astoundingly gifted group of young men and women. I am only being considered for potential membership in the National Honors Society because I have demonstrated an exemplary academic attitude, and have proven this through the grades I have attained during the years I have spent in the Wapato School District and the fondness amongst my teachers I have achieved. There are also other characteristics besides good scholarship I must fill for membership in the Society, those being services I have done to benefit others in the community, leadership positions I have held, and an original and interesting demonstration of

“Leadership, dreams, scholarships, service, pride and character”, the first words that come to mind when I hear “National Honor Society”. Being chosen for National Honor Society is a great honor, as it has proved that from my childhood till now my hard work has paid off. From the beginning of high school, as a freshman to now a junior, I have always pushed myself to do better, but not better than others, better than myself. I had competition with myself and my past grades, as I emboldened myself to do better than each of my past marking period grades.

As a student at Northvale Public School, I have grown up with my older siblings being inducted into an organization called the National Junior Honor Society. I had seen all the hard work and dedication they put into their school work and activities just to get into this society, making me want to be just like them. Then a few weeks ago, I found a note on my desk in homeroom telling me that I had been nominated to be apart of this society. Through citizenship and character, leadership, and service, I intend on being inducted into the society I have heard so much about. Though it will take a lot of effort this school year, being a part of this society is a dream of mine that I will make sure to come true.
