Explain The Four Pillars Of The National Honor Society

Improved Essays
I believe that the all four pillars of the National Honor Society; Academic, Character, Leadership, and Service are all very important in today’s society. The first pillar Service is where students offer their time to the school or local community with out any compensation, and that is important to our society because it shows how involved, and dedicated, students are; how they are desired to work with the school and the community without getting rewarded or recognition of any kind. The Leadership pillar which is where one demonstrates leadership within the school community it’s key to society due to the fact that it will show that you, inspire others, contribute ides, that you are responsible, self- confident, and have the ability to act

    Throughout history the National Honor Society has become synonymous with the best of the best. A school club that has built a legacy on students who exemplify the ideals of leadership, service, character, and citizenship. To even be considered for a group of this nature would be an honor within itself. Leadership is simply defined as the action of leading a group of people or an organization however, I believe leadership to be much more than simply being in charge. True leadership is simply more than being bossy and I have learned this through my experiences within boy scouts.…

    I believe that the four pillars of the National Honor Society are fundamental to the success of the society as a whole, as well as its individual members. Without strong character, honors students do not posses the leadership skills and the service-oriented attitude to experience success. Through ones service and leadership, scholarship is achieved and maintained. By making a commitment to learning, an individual effectively displays his or her character. In a way, each pillar has a connection to all of the others.…

    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.…
