I believe that the motto “Once a Falcon, Always a Falcon,” is a perfect motto to describe myself as both a person and student. Growing up, I always took pride of my hometown (Vermilion, Ohio). My hometown, paired with the rollercoaster of experiences I endured throughout middle school and high school, made me who I am today. Granted, there were hard times and struggles, but I would not be where I am today had I not grown from those experiences. As I stated in my application, I represented my school and hometown at the 2013 Buckeye Boys Convention.…

Ever since I was in middle school, I always looked up the students who were members of the National Honor Society. They were role models to me because I knew they were smart. What I didn't know about them was the role they played in their community. Not only did they stand as role models in the classroom, they also served others in the community. This included tutoring, serving the less fortunate, and acting as a child of God.…
I feel I should be a member of the National Honor Society, because I am a mature, responsible, and enthusiastic student.

The National Honors Society defines what it means to serve the student body as well as the community. As a student athlete in the Sutton school system leadership, service, character and scholarship have impacted my very way of life. Having a persistent attitude is what makes a student shine and as a prospective candidate for NHS I will incorporate this quality into each of the four pillars improving the society as a whole. Three years ago I began the NHS application process though I had little experience in volunteering for the community and lacked the opportunity to develop myself as a leader this changed as my high school career went on. Through athletics and long hours of volunteering with the town's technology department has provided me with numerous opportunities as high school went on.…
I feel honored to be considered for membership in Blacksburg High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society not only because of the immense personal growth that would result of my participation with the National Honor Society, but also of the impact I could make in the community alongside other NHS members.

Even though I am familiar with some of the general practices, I found it extremely helpful to read this section. As the book states, “schools must design programs to meet the needs of students rather than forcing students into ‘preset’ programs that may or may not meet their needs. (Ubben, Hughes, & Norris, 2011, pg. 145)” The principal is charged with the task of setting the tone for the education services (Ubben, Hughes, & Norris, 2011 pg. 145).…
