Spanish National Honor Society

I would like to start off by saying that I am very privileged to be recognized as a potential member of the National Honors Society. My biggest reasonings for wanting to become a member is that I believe that this experience will keep me on the right path to continue my excellence and achieve success in the future. I have always been good at keeping up my grades. I have started out my high school career on a good slate by earning straight A’s for three consecutive quarters and ending my freshman…

Why I should be in National Honor Society I am very honored to be even considered to be in National Honor Society. This has been a dream of mine since 8th grade. This shows that hard work does pay off. So I hope that my reason for believing why I belong in National Honor Society are enough to believe that also. One of these reasons being that I have a lot of character. An example of this is that did dance classes for 10 years before hurting my ankle. In these classes you had to be able to…

high school experience has allowed me to be a part of the band, choir, theatre, and Spanish programs. These experiences have all shown me unique aspects of my life and the lives of those around me. Because I was homeschooled until ninth grade, I never got a real chance to be a part of the community like I did when I became a freshman. Throughout my high school career, I have learned many things like music, Spanish, and how to treat other people. At Vicksburg High School, all three of these…

Christopher Columbus is a celebrated national holiday because he was an explorer who sailed the ocean and “discovered” the Americas. Originally, Columbus was in search for a trade route to the Indies. Instead, he came across a whole new world known as the Americas. As a result of this, Columbus spread Western Ideals throughout the world which resulted in opening new doors for Europe. Europeans would soon flock to the Americas in search of a new life and was also a safe haven for others to…

high school years whether it be my teachers, advisors, parents, or friends. Although all have had a great impact on my life at some point, I have to say the person who had the biggest significance on my life was easily my 8th grade teacher, National Honor Society Advisor, and mentor: Mrs. Mindi Phelps. Having first met her as my 8th grade English teacher, I did not know how much this woman would mean to me now, as a senior in high school. She believed in me and pushed me out of my comfort zone,…

citizen in society. First and foremost, the foundation of a great high school is great teachers. I was blessed with many great teachers, but I had one teacher that stood out amongst the others. In the classroom, Mrs. Adams set high expectations for her students, had clear…

When learning about symbiotic relationships in biology, many people would define community service as being an example of commensalism, where one party benefits and the other is not affected at all. But after hundreds of hours of service, I can say that serving others is most similar to mutualism, where both individuals benefit tremendously. Being involved in volunteer groups and philanthropic organizations has taught me that community service not only benefits others, but helps an individual…

National Honor Society members have to represent the four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Being a member of the NHS has given me the opportunity to learn and apply these pillars to my everyday life. I believe that I have demonstrated the four pillars through my high school experience. My academic studies are my primary focus. I always strive to do the best that I can do to achieve the highest grades possible so that I can stand out amongst my peers. I have sustained a…

become a leader in the things I do. It has helped me put others at the same standard as myself and it helps me show my character. Members of the National Honor Society have immense amounts of great character, citizenship, respect for others, and leadership qualities. I am going to share with you why I should be expected into the Roland-Story National Honor Society. As a student, every class I have taken or am taking gets my best effort put into it. Often times when a student doesn’t understand…
