National Junior Honor Society

The National Honor Society serves as a symbol of excellence to the student body of South Effingham High School. As a hard-working, goal-oriented individual, I feel that being a member of the National Honor Society would greatly benefit my character and scholastic abilities. After graduating from high school, I plan to attend the University of Georgia, and later Emory University to attain a degree in orthopedic surgery. I would then like to establish my own practice. As an orthopedic surgeon,…

considered for National Honors Society. This is an opportunity that I have been looking forward since the beginning of my Junior year. National Honors Society does great things in the community that I believe I can contribute to. National Honors Society recognizes students who keep a grade point average of 87% or above and have a commendable character. I believe that I have and can maintain both of these criteria. Becoming a member of National Honors Society would not be just an honor, it would…

The National Honor Society is based on four pillars, which are, Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. In some ways, I have already shown three of these pillars in my first two years of high school. However, there are several other ways in which I plan to lead my school, serve my community, and build my character, during my final years of high school. As I have mentioned, there are some ways that I have already shown leadership, service, and built my character during my first two…

High Academy of Law, Finance, and Business where I was a law magnet student. All four years I was a part of the Beta Club and the National Honor Society. My sophomore year I was a member of the golf team. Being that my father died of Cancer when I was six, I was a member of the Relay for Life committee.

Lauren Since about ninth grade, there was one thing that my best friend Sarah and I wanted from high school: to be in National Honor Society. Even in our freshman year, we knew what an honor it would be to be part of such an elite organization, and we wanted to be part of that. In our school, there is a requirement that you must be in at least two clubs (among other stricter requirements) to be considered for induction. So, Sarah and I decided that in our sophomore year, we would join at least…

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…

I would like to think I am deserving of this nomination because I have worked very hard to be where I am today. I started high school as a committed yet ignorant student…

values and standards of National Honor Society are the four important pillars of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. A person needs to represent all four pillars to uphold the honor of National Honor Society, just like a table with four legs must balance a table. I have developed through the years to be a strong leader, holding the table of scholarship, leadership, service, and character and I would be so very honored to hold this leadership with National Honor Society.…

doctor you have to solve it. Problem solving seemed to be my forte. Yet somehow, I wasn’t completely satisfied. I kept forcing myself to think, “This is what I want. This is going to be great.” I started to outgrow my love the medical field. In my junior year of high school, I found strength and strong interest in physics, calculus, chemistry, and anything that involved solving problems. Through difficult math courses and science classes, I have become skilled in finding different ways to…
