Ever since I was a freshman, my goal was to work diligently to be among the highest scholars and to be accepted into this scholarly “hall of fame”.

When there is a project in one of my classes I’m always the leader, but I always make sure to listen to my peers’ ideas. Although being a leader can be suitable, it is not about one person taking charge or doing all the work, it is about collaboration of your peers and working as one. In order to contribute to The National Honor Society, I will be pursing others to do well in school to become part of an organization that will help the community and themselves. Therefore, The National Honor Society should find me as a suitable asset to their society.
