I am honored and excited to be considered for the National Junior Honor Society. I would love to be a part of this organization because it would provide opportunities for me in the future. Also it can give me a sense of community. I can promote all of the NJHS tenets but I am only going to write about service, character and scholarship. I feel I already work hard at exhibiting these principles in my everyday life.…
Gaudium et Spes demonstrates the importance of performing our civil duty by stating, “Citizens, on the other hand, should remember that it is their right and duty, which is also to be recognized by the civil authority, to contribute to the true progress of their own community according to their ability” (Paul VI, Gaudium et Spes 65). It is our duty as citizens of the United States to give our time to the communities that we live in, so everyone can have the same opportunities to live a quality life. Across the United States, organizations are…
There are many different ways and things that everyone can to do help and serve the community. I had the privilege of helping in the Sabre Garden which had various different jobs for everyone to do and help participate in. The Sabre Garden is just one of the many things that helps the community in a great way. It also ties in with civic engagement and I felt like I made some progress with getting together with many other people and working together.…
350 word limits Essay Question - Other than your Eagle Scout leadership service project, what service have you provided to your community during your high school years? During my high school years, I have primarily provided service through my participation in the Christiana Care VolunTeen program and through the various clubs that I lead. The Christiana Care VolunTeen program allows young adults to help serve at the hospital in various areas, often exposing teenagers to how a hospital operates. Specifically, I worked in the Outpatient Pharmacy, SurgiCenter, and Pathology/Histology Lab, assisting patients and doctors with their various needs and tasks.…
I would be a great candidate of the Anne M Dorner middle school chapter of the National Junior Honor Society because I demonstrate scholarship, service, character, citizenship, and leadership in my everyday life. Some of the committee has already noticed my scholarship because they have identified me as having a high academic performance. What the committee might not know is that I have been participating in the STEP program since 7th grade. My service to help the community of Ossining and to show service is by the following, altar service, soccer modified team manager, and I like to lead running and warm-ups for soccer. I also help in my school by helping classmates in what I can, and working in groups and getting the job done.…
The Freedom Trail in Boston is meant to take you on a journey about the creation of America. It leads visitors to places such as the State House and the Park Street Church, all places that housed important events for the formation of America. It includes the story of John Hancock, a young, white, wealthy, politically influential man who headed the boycott against British goods to weaken their grip over the colony’s economy. Or perhaps one will hear of the story of Samuel Adams, another young, white, wealthy, politically influential man who helped lead movements such as the Boston Tea Party and other movements that would lead to the coming of the American Revolution. This unabashed Patriotism would make it hard to believe that John Hancock only…
"It's every man for himself", a quote that I more or less went by. Truth be told, I wasn't always one to care about the wellbeing of the community. My wellbeing was my main focus. The thoughtof doing volunteer service never crossed my mind, until it became mandatory, in order to be inducted in the National Honor Society. After participating in a few projects and events, from what seemed to be a tedious activity turned out to be a rewarding experience.…
By achieving the Bronze Medal level of the Congressional Award, I learned the importance of Service to my community. The Award required me to achieve at least 100 cumulative hours of community service in the past year and a half. I was also awarded the Congressional Bronze, Silver, and Gold certificates for a total of over 200 hours. Giving back to my community is something that my parents have taken pride in teaching me. I believe it is imperative for the ultimate success of a community.…
For as long as I can remember, my family has taught me that you are supposed to do good things, not looking for any reward. I have maintained this motto throughout my life. This shows true as my accredited service hours equate to almost 1000, just in these 3 short years of high school. I volunteer for the Hilton Raiders to be their teen coach, help in Make a Difference Day, and have participated in multiple walks to raise awareness for a numerous amount of causes. I feel that it is my responsibility as a functioning citizen, to participate in making our community a better…

Community service is a rewarding activity that, sadly, not many teens and preteens participate in.…
1. Why according to Davis, do people serve? Do you agree with these explanations? What else might motivate service ?…
Describe your commitment to your community through service-oriented activities such as volunteer work, civic and other group activities. My feelings about serving the community can be expressed by this quote from Mother Teresa, “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by “I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothe me. I was homeless and you took me in.”…
Because of this, the aspect of mandatory volunteering can only encourage teens to get involved in their community. Once they get their feet wet, many realize it is something they love to do. For instance, an eighteen year old senior completed 350 community service hours after being required to do only fifty hours of service. These eye-opening opportunities in high school can lead to a lifelong passion of giving back. Additionally, encouraging students to volunteer also helps their their mind to grow in substantial amounts.…

Essentially, this enhances an individual's well-being and cultivates our sense of identity. The role that community service maintains primarily serves as one of the many factors that contributes to our personal development.…
Community service is something I have grown up doing. Throughout my life I have volunteered a lot of my time to organizations within my community.

I have always been very involved in helping individuals within my community. I feel as though performing community service as a child and young adult has shaped me into the person I am today.…
