In today’s world, it’s easier for a scandalous act committed by someone to be the talk of a town than an act filled with good intentions and moral. Because of the large percentage of easily influenced brains, we should instead set good examples as often as we can to influence others to act with justice and positivity rather than malice and hate. I consider myself to be a leader because as a high school student, it’s common to see my classmates having the “it’s good enough” attitude. I constantly encourage my peers at school to strive for more. No one should ever settle for less, for I believe that everyone deserves more than what they think they deserve. Being seen as someone people can look up to bring me as much happiness as when I encourage my friends. One of my reasons why I want to major in the computer science field when I go to college is to be a role model for more girls to take on careers in the STEM field. To put everything in smaller terms, I think of myself as a prime example of resourcefulness, creativity and optimism.

My strong passion in achieving the highest honor a high school student can get, strongly demonstrates my quality of scholarship and desire to continue it. The values I hold so highly in terms of leadership also represents that I qualify for that characteristic. Being so adamant in wanting to spend more time contributing to my community clearly shows that I possess the quality of service. Lastly, describing the depth of what I value in the definition of an ethical person will hopefully also make you convinced that I hold the important quality of character. It would be a grand feeling to find out that I get accepted. Your decision will never be regretted as I will continue to making sure this organization stays in high regard in our school. I feel confident that I hold all attributes needed for an NHS member, but where I stand on that is now all up to you. Thank you for taking your time to read my personal

    Scholarship, service, leadership, and character; these are the four pillars of NHS that have played quite a large role in my life in the past year. Even early in my life, these pillars have held a prominent role; I have always kept my grades to high standards, I have always volunteered my time, I have always done all that I can to lead and govern others, and I have always been doing the right thing, even when no one is looking. These pillars were a part of my identity before I was really aware of what they were or before I even knew NHS existed. When I became a part of the organization, officers and advisors kept mentioning the four pillars are how they are the back bone and how they should be a part of our lives. I have been using these pillars…
