Being considered to be a member of the National Honor Society is an immense honor. It is a rewarding feeling to know that my hardwork in school from a young age has paid off. I am a hardworking, honest, and reliable student, and joining NHS would be a wonderful opportunity to grow as ayoung adult and honors student.
Organization is a key factor in the development of my leadership skills, as well as in my overall success in life. I enjoy making to-do lists and charts, to remind myself of upcoming tasks. Lists are one of the several ways I minimize the stress and anxiety everyday life tends to bring upon me. I consider myself to be a role model to others, exhibiting character traits that one would like to follow. I attend Sunday School class every Sunday, and at times the class attendees take turns leading the class. Although public speaking is something that can be a bit nerve wracking at times for me, it’s good to step out of my comfort zone and experience something new. I particularly enjoy babysitting my pastors’ children. They’re six and three years old, and the six year old is mildly autistic. I love helping him with his schoolwork and overall learning, and one

Being responsible, respectful, and honest are attributes I follow in my daily life. In March, I attended the “Love Shouldn’t Hurt” conference. I originally heard about the conference from a friend at the beginning of the school year, and was excited to attend. Throughout the conference, I attended two workshops in which I learned about dating abuse and “safety planning” to escape a bad relationship. I learned a lot of a valuable information during this conference that I’ve since shared with others, and will continue to share in hopes of helping someone through a difficult situation. The positive character traits I’ve acquired over the years have shaped me in a selfless, good-natured human

    As a leader in many after school activities such as Boy Scouts, Altar Serving, Ushering, and in my family, I believe that I would fit well in the National Honor Society. Boy Scouts, as well as Altar Serving, has taught me that others may not be up to date with the activity at hand, which means that you must tell them, and teach them the skills needed. Altar Serving and Boy Scouts need teamwork, and communication to be successful. Teamwork is what allows the process of different activities happen, and without teamwork everything would not be smooth or it would not work completely. Ushering and family life has taught me that you must work as a team, but by doing your own work, and making sure that everything is done when it is needed.…

This included tutoring, serving the less fortunate, and acting as a child of God.…
