National Junior Honor Society

While in National Honors Society my junior year I was involved in a can food drive which raised over five thousand pounds of food to go to homeless shelters in our area. This experience showed me the joys of helping others and the satisfaction in can bring to someone. Helping the needy is something I would want to continue at Penn State in programs such as Food Recovery Network and Anti-Hunger Games, giving food to local shelters and families who need it. Toward the end of my junior year I was…

One of my biggest goals for attending the Academy is to continue the rigor that I have experienced through the Old Donation School program. I have attended this gifted academy since the second grade, and have enjoyed the challenge it has presented to me. I feel that participating in a rigorous program will build a more solid foundation, which will assist me moving forward in my life. In addition, having attended Old Donation School, I have always been surrounded by others who share the same…

First Honors I earned this award every year throughout my high school career and I intend to receive it again at the end of my senior year due to maintaining a GPA above a 90.

goal because of the numerous things I have done in high school. I have leadership skills thanks to being Team Captain for JV Volleyball my sophomore and junior years and for being president of National Art Honor Society my senior year.
