One breath away! One breath away, someone is freezing, all alone. The last shred of warmness in his body will be gone. His heart will turn cold. He is one breath away from complete coldness. Then, all of the sudden, the wind acts as a kind hand, letting a soft, warm breeze reach to him. Flowers bloom; spring has arrived! The man says, “Thank you for taking my cold breath away.” Now, what the man doesn’t know is that there is an organization that is shaping students across the nation into being kind hearted kids that help the environment, and the poor. National Junior Honor Society is an organization that is meant to teach youth how to help their communities. When people help their communities, the community becomes balanced. Eventually, in region after region, the whole wide world becomes more balanced. This is a breathtaking experience everyone should want to see. Balancing a community takes hard work and kindness. Because I have a mindset to contribute to society, and skills that will benefit the world, I should be accepted into this organization. …show more content…
I actively participate in several clubs. I work very hard with all my school projects. At home, I also help my family take care of my sister, a seventeen year old who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. We have had to make many sacrifices, such as time and money, but as a family we want the best life can offer for her. Sometimes, I help my mother by brushing my sister’s teeth, by helping her with therapy, and by feeding her. Even though one may not consider this to be much community service, I feel that I have been providing service my whole life. Helping my family really is community service, because I am helping someone in need, who is a part of our community. The daily commitment to serving my sister proves that I have all the necessary skills to become a member of the

    The four pillars of the National Honor Society (NHS) scholarship, service, leadership, and character and each of these pillars of NHS have shaped who I have become as not only a high school student, but as a person. Personally, school doesn’t come easy for me and I have never been able to breeze through school based solely on my intelligence. However, through my scholarship, which is a commitment and willingness to learn and study, I have been able to achieve academic excellence. Scholarship has taught me that while all things may not come without difficulty for me, but through hard work and dedication I can achieve almost anything.…

    A leader and an individual are obligated to maintain certain characteristics in the best interest of a sports team, academic organization, or club. Every organization depends on its leaders and members to be successful. Being a participant in Christians in Action, dual credit courses at Angelina College, and National Honor Society, I notice the officers and members acting in agreement on behalf of the club or in support of their classes and grades. Christians in Action relies on guidance of a leader, especially since staff is prohibited from partaking in religious ensembles. Religion cannot be taught in public schools.…

    I am qualified to be a part of the 2016 National Honor Society because of my hard work and willingness to do anything for anyone. As an Honors student, I work hard for the grades I earn and study for hours. In my free time I try to do as much as I can for anyone else. Working hard for my goals may come along with a challenge, but I can overcome anything as long as I put my mind to it. Over the summer, I found myself taking care of someone else’s pets and house.…

    Back in middle school, I was a part of National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). We were the largest class to be inducted into NJHS.

    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.

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.…

    I was raised in a close-knit family and was constantly taught that family and relationships should be cherished in life. As a family, we were constantly loving and involved in each other’s life. When I was little my dad traveled a lot for work, and even at the age of three I was helping my mom with new born twins. This experience allowed me to have a heart for children and passion for helping people. My family has encouraged me to continue these passions by allowing me to participate in organizations like National Charity League.…

    Having been a boy scout for years, I'm raised to be of service when the moment was convenient. What I admire about community so much is bringing together a group of hard-working, determined helpers who all share the same goal in accomplishing the service. When a group like this comes together, it creates friendships, trust, and positivity; moreover, it's these characteristics that society looks at and says "I need that in my life". My greatest experience of community service is participating in an organization-Monkey Business, which supports children who have family members who are dealing with sort of cancer or life-threatening illness. Partaking in this organization allows me to not only be grateful for the life given to me, but also the opportunity to be a positive role model in these…

    Over the years, I have volunteered my time to many service projects in our community. One of the projects has been being the American Red Cross Blood Drive coordinator for our Student Council June 2015 and January 2016 blood drives. This required me to schedule people to work at the blood drive and to call people asking if they are willing to donate. Another one is a service project for National Honor Society. Twice a year we pick up trash along a specified section of highway.…
