As a member of the Catholic Church, I try to embody the values that Christ embodied but in particular I try to put the needs of others before my own needs as well as treating others with respect. I think of myself as very kind and respectful but I guess that may be biased. I love helping others with any troubles that they may have and I try to be the best friend that I can be to my friends, the best student that I can be for my teachers, and the best brother and son that I can be to my family. I hope that my actions can be looked at as a positive influence to those around me and if anybody around needed help they would want to come to me for help. I am very welcoming and I keep my moral standards to the highest that they should be. For those reasons I feel that I have a very positive and uplifting character that could be used a model for people to follow if they so desire. I feel that I completely embody the values that are required to become a member of the National Honor Society and I hope that I can keep learning and expanding upon these values so I can become the best person that I am able to

    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.
