Application For National Honor Society (NHS)
I am excited to be considered as a candidate for National Honor Society (NHS). Through friends and family, I know the main characteristics a NHS member must hold include scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Through hard work, I have been able to hold a GPA over 3.8 in both 9th and 10th grade; this shows my strong dedication to scholarship. I am a dedicated person who enjoys giving back to the community; I have participated in many volunteer activities, and I would love the opportunity to continue my volunteer work as a NHS member. If I am given the privilege of NHS membership, I will continue to uphold my commitment to service and leadership. As a NHS member, I would display high morals and would lead by example by making positive

Throughout my life I've been a part of 4h where you're constantly learning, teaching and growing. You are gaining knowledge by being tested, writing speeches and gaining communication skills. Being around livestock teaches you a lot of about being responsible, caring and respectful. The life I have with livestock and 4h has helped me fine my passion in teaching. The people I've met from showing livestock has impacted my life. I plan to have a positive impact on my student's lives. Being a teacher you need to be responsible, caring and respectful. I am a caring, dependable and energetic person. Throughout life you are constantly learning. There are many ways to learn and many ways to teach.

I'm going to be aware of the minorities in my classroom to help them fit in and make friends because it is difficult to be singled out because you're different. I plan to teach my students about diversity by recognizing different holidays and exposing them to the celebrations. I will incorporate diversity into my teaching whenever possible by recognizing accomplishment of different racist. With my instructions I plan for students to be successful when taking my assessments. I will use different forms of assessment such as quizzes, text, projects, portfolios, ect. I favor short quizzes given more often. Because I want to teach in a hands on way I value projects as an assessment. By using projects according to Piaget children learn best when they are actually doing the work themselves and creating their own understanding of what's going on. Students learn best through hands on evolvement. An effective teacher will have her students actively engage in station, centers and projects. An effective teacher makes her students feel like they belong and are disciplined fairly. It is important to welcome the diversity of all students. It is important to assess students in an appropriate manner. This creates a positive learning environment for the students. I am a responsible, dependable, caring and energetic teacher who will be an asset to your school

I am deeply honored to be recognized as an eligible candidate for the National Honors Society. After learning about the National Honor Society, and what the organization represented, I knew it was something I wanted to participate in. This organization works hard to better educational opportunities for students across the nation, and that is something I would like to play a part in to further the outstanding reputation of the NHS. I believe that this is an opportunity I deserve due to my recognizable hard work. I am aware that the NHS is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and commendable characteristics, which is something I believe I have obtained throughout my years of hard work. I have desirable characteristics that would be beneficial to the NHS. I am an enthusiastic, strong spirited, and a friendly person who also has strong work ethics and poise. I am someone who feels strongly about my opinion, but will always graciously accept criticism. I am a responsible and reliable person who portrays integrity, honesty, and respect for other people and for the rules.

I hope to prove myself to be a good mentor for those who seek help and guidance. My leadership in my church played a large role in my life. I have led many activities for the religious youth group at St. John the Baptist, talent shows, fests, and lock–ins. I currently aid in some activities my school has to offer. I attend all class meetings, offer ideas to improve events, promote school activities, donate supplies to any events, decorate for dances and spirit weeks, do photography for the Science Olympiad team, and help my teachers in any way possible. As I participate in activities where I am the leader I make sure that I consult with my peers and listen to their ideas in hopes that we can come together to devise a plan of Get more content
I am very excited to be nominated for a membership in the National Junior Honor Society. I believe that I am a good candidate because I possess the qualities needed to be a good member. I am very invested in my grades, leadership skills, helping others, and staying true to who I am. As of grades and academic achievements, I've maintained a 3.96 grade point average all year long and expect to keep and/or raise my GPA by the time I graduate. I've proven to my teachers, family, and myself that I can do anything that I set my mind to, like maintaining a high GPA or being on high honor roll for three years. I've also been awarded the Presidential Education Award three times for my hard work. I have participated in honors classes ever since elementary...show more content...
As a result of this I have been invited to go to Washington D.C. for the Junior National Young Leaders Conference two years in a row, but sadly I haven't been able to attend. In PBL we get a lot of leadership opportunities in projects. I have been voted leader in almost every group /team project I've been apart of. As a leader, I enjoy listening to everyone's ideas and opinions to come up with the best decision for the situation. I believe that being apart of NJHS will help develop my leadership skills and help me become better at finding the ride path to take while working with a team. I also babysit for a few families. Being a babysitter requires a lot of patience, which ties into me being a strong leader. While playing basketball you take on a roll as either a leader or team player. I think that I can take on either role as I have learned how to inspire my teammates while also taking a step back and learning how to do so from others. I think that learning to be a "follower" before a leader is essential to figure out how you want to lead others. I've also helped out with the "Little Dribblers" at the Zone, keeping score and helped with practices, because I love working with Get more content
Originally, I joined NHS out of curiosity. I had an acquaintance in the club who suggested I apply–however I was perplexed by the two–essay application. I wanted to know if NHS was selective because it was really great to be a member, or because it was great to say I was one. I also, quite frankly, wondered if I would be accepted. However, since then I've realized NHS expects commitment from its members for the sake of commitment– rather than for the sake of membership. NHS has high expectations of its members, so that they can have high expectations for themselves. For me, the requirements for NHS both detracted from, and added to, the club. For instance, NHS requires more hours per member than most other service clubs on campus. This meant I had to commit to NHS over other organizations; however giving more time to NHS also helped me place more value in my membership. Similarly, the NHS application both discouraged, and sparked my interest in joining. I find personally reflective writing–like that requested in the NHS application– difficult, so for me the application required dedication to the club without the promise of return. While this was manageable for me as a sophomore, if I had been...show more content...
Since I haven't been to many social events, I can't really say if NHS would benefit from hosting more of them. However, I remember being slightly intimidated by the socials that were held because I didn't know many other NHS members well. I found it easier to meet other members through volunteering because volunteering gave me an excuse to interact–I didn't feel pressure to get to know people like I might have at a social. If NHS was to have more socials next year, it would be nice if they were directed around something other than just socializing– bowling, laser tag, a dinner–something that could bring people together but still provide a crutch to interact

) What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about playing music, being successful academically, and lastly I am passionate about using my strengths to help others. I am a member of our very own Stockdale High School Marching Band, and I am also a member of the Stockdale Jazz Band. Music is like an escape for me. Whenever I am feeling down, I will play some music and instantly feel better. I want to show people how music can be an outlet for anyone. I am quite the perfectionist so it is very important to me that I remain academically successful in all my classes. I enjoy using my strengths in academics to help others achieve academic success.

Obviously, humans are enabled genetically to inherit a collection of traits from our parents such as hair color, hand dominance, eye color, et cetera. We are also able to obtain more significant attributes like the unfailing love of Mexican food, the compelling desire to pet every pup that trots by, and the exceptional need to make everyone's day a little bit brighter. Fortunately for me, I have also acquired a much stronger bedrock of character: the respect of honor, courage, and commitment and a passion for leaving a positive impact on everyone I meet by valuing their needs before my own.

It is an honor to have been selected as an eligible candidate for the National Honor Society. It would be a privilege to be a part of such an amazing group, and if I am accepted into this society I promise to uphold to its standards. I would like to be a part of NHS because I do not just excel academically. I have a excellent balance between school, extracurricular activities, and my social life. I believe that by keeping this balance I exemplify service, leadership, and character. My freshman year I was introduced to the Relay for Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. I wanted to be as involved as possible, especially since cancer has taken the lives of many family members and friends, so I became team captain for both my freshman and sophomore year and raised a total of about $5,000. This year I have taken the position of Survivor Chair Shadow so that I can take the position of Survivor Chair my senior year, and be even more involved. Just by taking part in this amazing fundraiser I am serving my community, building my character, and demonstrating strong leadership skills.

I first became involved with the sport when I was 9–years–old and will probably continue with the sport until I graduate. Being a part of this team has shaped me into the person I am today. I have become a role model for my younger teammates. I am someone who can motivate them to work their hardest and help them achieve their goals by guiding them. I have spent many hours, whether it be during practice or after, coaching these younger teammates, or girls trying out for my team, in order to help out my coaches and show these girls that if they ever need any help I will always be available. This has taught me to step up and be a leader, which is something 9–year–old me would have never
I believe I deserve to be inducted into the National Honors Society because I am a dedicated, hard working, caring individual. I focus most of my free time on volunteering in the theatre community. Over the past six years, I have been a very active member in the theatre community. I have performed in 22 productions, 8 of which were in my high school career. I became a member of the Alamance Children's Theatre board in 2011. Ever since, I have helped volunteer to paint sets, promote productions, make playbills, and even act in the shows themselves. At Studio 1, they have days each month to go out and clean the costume rooms, declutter, move furniture, and make Studio 1 into a better theatre.

Marks Church, I have participated in numerous Pack–A–Thons with Feed the Hunger to provide food for people living in poverty. We pack hundreds of bags of food to be shipped to people in need. I participated in the 30 Hour Famine with Feed the Hunger. We raised about $16,000 for people living in poverty and did not eat for 30 hours straight. Helping those in need is also a big part of my life. I like to volunteer my time to help those in need who I may not necessarily know. I may not know how exactly my volunteering helps them but I know that my work has made an impact on their life. I think it is important to help those in need even if you do not know them. I being helping and giving back to the community has helped me become more understanding and selfless. Creative writing is another major component in my life. Writing has helped me know my strengths and weaknesses and has helped me become more independent. Independence is a big part of who I am. I do not feel as though I have to follow the crowd. I do what I feel is right and I feel as though that makes me a better leader. Although I have strong opinions, I am open to people opposing my ideas. Part of being a leader is being accepting of all people that may come your way. Not everyone is going to agree with what you have to say. I am a very accepting person, which makes me a better

1. Why do you feel that you would be a strong candidate for the MaCS Program? I feel that I will be a strong candidate for the MaCS program due to my interest and previous studies in the subjects that are enriched in the MaCS program (math, science and English). I frequently work on grade 10–11 math and science. At the time of writing, I'm studying quadratic relations, and anatomy/ physiology. Furthermore, at the information night, upon learning about the various clubs offered at WLM, my interest in the school was piqued. If I was to be accepted and thus attend WLM, I know that I would become a contributor to the school. At the information night, I learnt about three or four different clubs that I hope to become a part of. Aside from extracurriculars, I also will be beneficial to the academics of the school, as I am an earnest, studious student. In both sixth and seventh grade, I was on the honour roll, along with the academic award....show more content...

I also helped out at our school's parent–teacher interviews last week by guiding them around to where they needed to
The opportunities that NHS provides and would provide me if I was to be accepted are vast. NHS would provide me an extra element I would be able to add to my transcript to help me get into a university that I would like to join. I believe that if I were to join NHS it would greatly help me get into that college and that program. NHS would not only help me get into college but it would also recognize the effort I put into my school work and my sports. I have always taken the hardest and the most rigorous courses and excelled at them as well. Character is presumably the most important trait that anyone can have. People judge based on character and it can shape who you are. I believe that I have good character and that I am a good person. In my opinion being a good person, doing what is right, and doing well in school are the three main things that shape your character from the beginning of preschool all the way...show more content...
It takes time out of your day and usually goes unpaid. In my life I have been involved in many service "projects". One service that I have always participated in and enjoy doing is helping the boys in sixth grade and below. I have worked many boysbasketball tournaments and helped out at these tournaments. I have also went to the saturday morning boys basketball practices as well as the camps that have taken place over the years. At these practices and the camps I lead the boys in drills, help them out, and teach them. I have also helped out at the preschool, the dinners, and other celebrations at the Landeck Church. I believe that I do posses the qualities of service and that I always will. For me NHS is a great accomplishment and is something that I have always strived to be in. Being a possible candidate is an honor, but being able to join NHS would be a very big deal to me. I hope I will be able to join, be able to say that I am a NHS member, and be able to have it on my transcript for

To begin, I feel that I am a diligent and respectful student, and with that being so I hope that you consider me a great candidate for the NHS program. Also, I believe that with this and my many other combined qualities that I will be offered membership in this amazing program. First off, one characteristic that is important to both this organization and myself is scholarship. Although, it may seem easy to make and maintain passing grades, it is the added dedication that I possess that I hope you'll be able to see. For example, during my freshman year of high school I was able to have a GPA of 3.8. Though most people would be proud of having this GPA I was not, I knew that I could do better and I was determined to make sure that I did. Therefore,...show more content...
This was significant in my leadership skill since I was made a platoon sergeant and became responsible for sixteen students and everything that they needed to complete. I was liable for their whereabouts and the many things that they needed to learn in order to be promoted. Also I had to make sure that they were ready to march for the District Inspection and Fiestas Patrias Parade. In order to represent the school well. Which took a lot of work and dedication, but when they were able to comprehend what they were being taught it made it easier. And when it was time for them to stand in the inspection and do everything that they were taught correctly it made it all worthwhile to be their platoon sergeant. Being a part of ROTC taught me service when I participated in the Fiestas Patrias Parade. Since it made me dedicate an entire day to being in the parade and making sure that I did my part to represent my school the right way. As well as, build my character since I had to keep my integrity in tact by following through with being loyal to my school, and exert my good behavior to show my school is great. In conclusion, I would be honored to become a member of National Honor Society. And I hope that through this essay I have been able to show the qualities that I have are able to make me qualify for a position in this organization. And if I do get a position I am able to make the most out

Recently, I acted as the bridge for communication between players and coaching staff; I updated and reminded players of dates and other important notices, taught and explained drills, and kept the coaching staff up to date in regards to the team.

Lastly, I am an avid soccer player and fairly fit. I am able to stand for long periods of time, as well as push pull or lift whatever needed during the shift.

I recently completed my Eagle Scout rank, achieving the highest honor in Boy Scouts, and I am also a brotherhood member of scouting's honor society, the Order of the Arrow. I served a six month term as Senior Patrol Leader, the most senior scout leader within my troop, as well as serving as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader for one term. Before that, I did three six month terms as Troop Guide, a position in which I acclimated first year scouts to the troop, teaching them the ways of scouting. My experience in Boy Scouts has presented an abundance of opportunities for me to develop my leadership skills, giving me a competitive advantage over other candidates. Among these strengths, I have some weaknesses and challenges I will need to overcome. Foremost among these is the physical side of the Service Academy lifestyle. I lack upper body strength, and I seldom hold myself to any rigid or intense training regimen. Because of this, I will have to overcome the physical barriers presented by the candidate fitness assessment and daily physical training at an Academy. To prepare myself for this, I have begun working out almost daily at home, focusing on my own personal weaknesses and striving to overcome the challenges they Get more content

The two values that best describe NSCS would be, people and teamwork. According to the slides "people" means fairness, supportiveness, and respecting individuals. People best fits NSCS because we respect each other's suggestions and ideas. Also, the voting system we have in place ensures "fairness" for everyone. Team work is the second value which NSCS demonstrates. According to the slides, teamwork means collaboration and cooperation. The E–board collaborates on many different topics whether it be general body meeting ideas or the committees we want to implement into the organization. I believe the family oriented attitude we have makes it easier for everyone to cooperate and listen to one another. People and team work complement one another because without people there isn't team work. Cooperation and respect within a group of people can make a big difference when decisions need to be made. The collaboration of people can take an idea from something that was just said to an actual thing or Get more content
Introduction In line with the majority of other developed countries, the United Kingdom (UK) has offered its citizens a universal health care system that is free at the point of service. Funded primarily by taxation, the system is popular and efficient. However, along with most other health care systems around the world, it faces a series of challenges if it is to maintain viability, in the twenty–first century. These issues include; long waiting times, an aging population, funding challenges and the increasing cost of technology. History of Health Care in the UK The UK is a sovereign country of almost 61,000,000 people comprising the nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

It also monitors the quality of services provided and develops new policies. The performance of the NHS is also monitored by the Health–Care Commission, an independent executive agency that performs annual reviews and ratings, and investigates complaints. According to Johnson and Stoskopf (2008) there are a number of dimensions for measuring health care systems. The three most frequent include: "population health measures, system efficiency measures, and patient perceptions" (p.74). Other clinical measurements commonly used include infant mortality rates and life expectancy. The UK has an infant mortality rate of 4.93 deaths per 1,000 live births, and an average life expectancy of 78.85 years. Funding for the NHS is a combination of private and public sources. All legal UK residents have access to the NHS and pay a payroll tax, which equates approximately to 10% of earnings. Although health care provided by the NHS is largely free, there are fees for certain services such as prescriptions, dental and optician services, which are paid by all citizens who are working and make more than minimum wage. Recent Reforms In 2000, an effort was made by the UK government to resolve certain inequalities that had developed within the NHS by releasing the "NHS Plan of 2000." This plan greatly increased spending on employee pay, infrastructure, and access to services. Despite almost doubling spending in a ten year period,
