In order to get a better insight into who I am and what I do, there are a few things that I find important to me, and a few other reasons as to why I am applying for this grant.

To be in Pi Sigma Pi, the teacher recognizes those who are outstanding in the Social Science Department where they are inducted into the club. In Warrior Strings we perform at local organizations like the Rotary and Kiwanis Club centers, and throughout the year we perform in the school’s Variety Show, Winter Concert, and Spring Concert, and that is all in addition to being a part of Symphonic Orchestra. In Math Team we compete in competitions around the suburbs of Chicago and if we do good enough individually or as a team, we are allowed to go to regionals, which I did as a Senior. In NHS, I was inducted as a Junior by meeting qualifications of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and character. In order to be accepted as a member I had to write an essay about how I was a leader, and I had to submit proof of service. Lastly, this past year as a Senior, I was an intern at a local Architecture and Engineering firm (KGH Architects and Engineers) where I was able to gain some work experience, use AutoCAD software, and narrow down my career options and see what I wanted to major in

    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…

    Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to help people. Being a Boy Scout gave me the opportunity to do so. When I was eight years old I joined the cub scouts which began my life long campaign of helping people. I started off learning to take the oath to serve the people weather it be by the organization or myself. I assisted by selling popcorn for charity organizations ( The San Antonio Food Bank and The Knights of Columbus) or for money that we needed for our camp out trips.…

    Being apart of the National Honor Society would be a great honor for me. Entering high school as a clueless freshman, I had no idea what to expect. The only thing I knew is that being inducted into NHS was a great honor that I would eventually want to achieve. Through these first two years of highschool I have developed many great qualities including the four needed to be chosen; scholarship, leadership, service, and character. In high school I always wanted to play sports and stand out as an athlete in front of the crowd but I soon realized my freshman year that having many academic accomplishments were a great thing to achieve.…
