High school are the years of a person’s life where they develop their habits, worth ethic, and outlook on life. During these prime years, a person develops their character. It is vital that efforts are made to ensure that all students have the chance to start life out on the right foot and create a proactive personality. This is the sole purpose of the National Honors Society.
For the past ninety three years, the National Honors Society has helped shape the characters of young men and women across the country. Each local chapter takes part in promoting scholarship, leadership, and service to the community. In total, the National Honors Society is improving the character of the teenage members.

Each semester I have received Distinguished Honors roll at my school. My accumilative GPA is 4.000. Next year, as a senior, I plan to take AP classes to better prepare me for a college education. In the future, I hope to attend UW Madison to major in an undecided area of engineering. I enjoy math and computing problems, and I cannot wait to apply my knowledge in a future career.
Along with academics, I also spend my time participating in co-curricular activities. These activities include sports- basketball, volleyball, and softball- and other school clubs -forensics, FFA, and FBLA. I partake in these activities for the learning experience, but also to be part of more and more teams. I believe working with others to accomplish a goal helps construct many valuable life skills such as communication, patience, and being organized.
I have very few amounts of spare time, but if I ever get the chance to use that time for helping others, I am more than glad to give it up. Most activities I do for my community, I do with my teams. For volleyball and basketball, we take a Monday off from practice once or twice a year to help at the local food pantry.

Every year I am elected to be class president. I believe the class votes for me because they know I am responsible and they trust me with the class actions. Another role of leadership I have had was being a member of the AAL (Advanced Association of Leaders). Our student counselor asked eight of us to join the association that she erected to benefit the attitude in our school. Mrs. Hessling chose us because we were the role models for the younger kids and examples for our peers. Those are the leadership roles that had a title. Informally, whenever I am in a group, I like to think of myself as a leader. I like to know the agenda in which the project will be executed, and also put input of various ways to improve the project. I am not one to watch the work be done by others. After the many experiences of being a leader I have learned to be open to other’s ideas because they may have a different viewpoint of the project which may be a better viewpoint than my
