Becoming Myself As A National Honors Society Member

Decent Essays
John Quincy Adams once said, "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader".

Also, bringing a vision and an attitude that I can change and influence those around me from the Inside and out. Becoming my own identity and living my life with a purpose to serve and lead; is

    I believe I am a good candidate to be selected for the Robert Vela High School National Honor Society because I am a dedicated student. My grades do reflect my abilities as a student, but my work ethic in the co-curricular activities that I participate is what really defines it as I put a lot of time and effort into them. In U.I.L. calculator applications, which is the main activity that I partake in, I sacrifice my time almost everyday after school and sometimes my lunch period throughout the school year, as well as the majority of my Saturdays to compete and practice. Not a lot of students would give up this much time and effort unless they are very dedicated. This also reflects my leadership and character as one has to work and communicate…

    “Membership in National Junior Honor Society has become recognized as one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a junior high school student. Membership is, however, more than an honor; it carries with it a responsibility and should be considered the beginning of an obligation, not merely the successful culmination of an effort to achieve recognition and honor.” Not only because it’s an honor or a recognition, but I would like to be a part of NJHS because I’m very responsible and I love helping people and community service. Responsibility is one of the major requirements for being in NJHS.…

To the kids there, I’m an inspiration and a role model who motivates them to work hard not only in the Immersion Program, but also in school. School and academics has always been important to me.…

    Strictly speaking, I never really be a leader. I personally didn’t have many opportunities or the desire to be a leader. This is about my personality, but I do want to push myself a little and have some experiences before I start my career. The closest title that I ever had as a leader was the Vice President of service for Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) in my previous college. When I was offered the opportunity, I knew I had to take the responsibility because I thought that could be my first time being a leader.…

    At my middle school, I was accepted into a leadership class which meant all of my teachers saw potential in me to be a leader. During this time I had no idea what it meant to be a leader or how I was going to show my peers what my teachers saw in me. I was not only in leadership but I was also in different clubs that required the leadership skills I embrace. Being involved lead to many accomplishments. An example is when I helped out with an event called Toys For Tots.…
