National Honor Society is an organization that recognizes students that have excelled in scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Being a part of National Honor Society is very important to me because it will further strengthen my qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. I also believe National Honor Society will prepare me for college, and live my most productive life. One of the four main pillars of National Honor Society is scholarship. Throughout high school, I have strived to get good grades.…
The four pillars of National Honor Society intertwine to help individuals become as successful as they dream to be. These pillars: service, scholarship, character, and leadership, have equal importance and if one goes unused, may destruct the equilibrium found in using them all. The pillars of the NHS are interdependent and in utilizing them, a person can establish a great foundation. For example, good character and scholarship, two vital characteristics of a true leader, can be developed by exercising the pillar of Service. Thus far, these pillars have shaped my development and it is my desire that they continue to do so.…
The four pillars of National Honor Society, leadership, character, service and scholarship are each extremely important to me. These four pillars have shaped my overall growth and maturity in various ways, and have enabled me to outline my future goals.

To me, character has the greatest value amongst the four pillars of the National Honor Society. Character is what defines who as a person and everything you do. That plays a big factor into leadership, scholarship, and service. My character is what makes me a good leader. It drives me to try my hardest with not only academics, but everything I do.…
National Honor Society members have to represent the four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Her stories then shift to the nucleus of life in the west side Barrio to her grandmother’s house. Like the hub of a wheel, all family life came from it and especially in the kitchen where they gathered making tamales at Christmas and learning life lessons sitting around the table beneath the light fixture. “A light socket, a light bulb and a dangling string, so primitive yet heartwarming, it was a sure sign of home,” she wrote. The tales fluctuate from climbing backyard chicken coops and trees, starting her first business of ironing clothes for a nickel a garment, to eating hamburgers at the local car hop with her mother on Saturday night to learning about puppy love in the third grade.…
The four pillars of National Honor Society- scholarship, leadership, service, and character- have almost solely shaped my development. I pride myself in being true to all four of these pillars, in both my daily life, as well as who I am overall. I feel as if each of these virtues represents a fourth of who I hope I am; someone who values learning, is a fair leader, dedicates herself to her community, and leads a moral life. My high school career has been stressful because it is an immense amount of work to excel in each of these categories, but I couldn't be happier with where that work has put me. I am proud to be the person I am today.…

This past year our chapter had the most honorable opportunity of initiating a new member class into our beloved sisterhood.

According to our constitution in order to be eligible for an executive position you must have at least one remaining year at the University of Florida. That meant for us, that all of the newly elected executive team was comprised of new members besides our President and Social Chair. This was one of the toughest times for our sorority to endure.…
After my two full years at Roscommon High School, I am very grateful to have reached the standard for National Honor Society membership. This is an opportunity that not everyone has the privilege to be a part of during their high school career. I would like to display the ways in which I have demonstrated the required assets to be a part of this organization. Not only do I possess the qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, but through N.H.S., I am certain that I will grow tremendously in each of these areas. The first quality I have demonstrated throughout my life, but more specifically, my high school career, is character.…

The way students act outside of the classroom, is the way that they also act in the classroom. It may take time to show it, but the character traits of each student will resemble how they are in a learning environment. Each student is a different person, and they all have different ways of learning, however, if they don’t have good character traits it will start to affect the way of learning. Character traits of high school students will effect them later on in their life. Having good character traits, turn into having good habits, and those habits help the students succeed in school.…
