National Honor Society: Leadership, Character And Service

Decent Essays
I believe the function of an organization such as National Honor Society would be to promote leadership, character, and service. With the use of each aspect, students are taught to be leaders of the new generation with the different opportunities present such as volunteering. By doing so, students are able to use these characteristics throughout their life, and would be able to try to make the world a better place as each day goes by. Being in the National Honor Society ultimately helps improve a student’s mentality and impact on the world around them as the organization helps deeply with the student’s perspective on one’s life in the oncoming years. If chosen upon selection, I would contribute to the continued growth and success of NHS
