As a member of the National Honor Society (NHS), I have organized events, tutored students, and provided academic guidance to junior students. NHS coordinates leaders and scholars from school and community to provide a meaningful impact on the community. Members must maintain a high GPA and prove their leadership abilities to remain in the club. Through my academic knowledge and experience, I mentored other aspiring scholars and offered guidance to resolve their curriculum challenges. I tutored students in the library, explaining mathematical concepts and assisting in answering questions on assigned reading.
According to a story on Nightline, children are being approached by college recruiters at younger ages. There is a child, age 11, who has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated because his football career is so promising. The opportunities and experiences being exposed to him would not have occurred if not for competitive sports. Per the interview, even if football does not work out, he possesses the confidence from sports to declare he wants to run for mayor when he got older. This child personifies how competing can benefit someone under the age of

As a sophomore in high school, I have exemplified the four pillars of the National Honor Society. Throughout my high school life, I have maintained an unweighted GPA of 4.0, reflecting my dedication to academic excellence. In addition to my strong academic performance, I have received several Principal's Honor Award certificates, which recognize students who demonstrate exceptional scholarship and character. These achievements are a testament to my commitment to academic success and my passion for learning.
As a student, I’ve always strived to actively participate in my school as much as possible. This all started in middle school when I chose to participate in ASB leadership, track, football, and basketball. I feel that my motives to take on as many tasks as possible stemmed from the strong encouragement from my parents. My dad never attended college, and my mom only attended for a short period of time, and as a result of this, neither were able to obtain their ideal career path. Due to this, my parents constantly reminded me as I grew up about the importance of doing well in school and becoming the first in the family to earn a college degree.
The first time I noticed Mike Newton, I was at the campus dining hall completing my community service. Miss Porter’s School required all students to do ten hours of volunteer work each week. According to the program director, Mr. Banner, it gave us the opportunity not only to prepare for college but also, experience firsthand the joy and sense of purpose that comes from serving others. I had undoubtedly won the placement lottery and been given the prestigious job of kitchen duty at our school’s cafeteria. Ten hours each week, I scrubbed tables, filled salt shakers, helped take inventory, and completed any other menial tasks that needed doing.
By active community service, leadership roles, and hard work, I have learned the incredible importance of academic achievement, character, leadership, and service. Through these things, I have been substantially prepared by the Beta Club to serve others as I depart high school and
Although I am only in high school, I feel as though I have had a vast amount of opportunities that many other students my age have not been able to experience. Over the course of my high school career, I have recieved multiple superior awards for my science fair projects, as well as two ACE awards, which are two prime examples of how I have embodied the scholarship ideal for National Honor Society. Not only have I embodied the ideal of scholarship, but I have demonstrated the ideal of service through my involvement with Student Ambassadors. In addition, I dispkay the ideal of character when I decide to do the right thing, even during a tough situation.
The National Honors Society has been a constant but distant presence in my life ever since I was in middle school. Every once in awhile, teachers would mention our GPAs and tell us to keep them up if we wanted to be accepted into NHS, or they would attempt to coax us into behaving better by telling us that the National Honors Society frowned upon our current behavior. Back then, NHS was a prospective part of my future, and I didn’t worry too much about preparing. In my first two years of high school, I watched my fellow students in NHS work to keep up their grades up and to meet the volunteer requirements. I watched them and waited my turn to join them, because after learning what the National Honors Society really was and what it stood for,
This notion is supported by Dr. Daniel Gould, who believes that “Children who participate in sports have increased educational aspirations, closer ties to school and increased occupational aspirations in youth” (1). People against the funding of high school sports think that parents and society are placing more emphasis than ever before and, “[P]ressures athletic personnel to deviate on winning from the athlete- centered educational and personal development mission” (Gould 1). However, athletes strive to do better in class. Michael Lorenc, a high school basketball coach believes that “those who seem to have an overwhelming schedule where they’re playing maybe multiple sports, and high academic schedules, they tend to do better than those who don’t do anything extracurricularly” (Gray). Balancing sports and school makes athletes put more effort into keeping up grades while playing the sport they love.
My academic achievements throughout my high school career show that hard work and dedication truly do pay off in the long run. All throughout my sophomore
I led twenty-two students during their first year of college to provide them success as students. I co-taught a class that focused on study skills, UNK resources, and involvement on campus. My ability to communicate and adapt to the diversity of the class was shown through creating different learning activities to employ in the classroom. I exemplified team work by collaborating with another instructor. Through my experience as a Peer Academic Leader, I was able to hold two counseling sessions with each student per semester to provide myself as a resource.
I’m a passionate and driven individual. One of my main goals for proceeding with my education consists of promoting education to my relatives in Haiti. In Haiti, less than forty-five percent of people have a college education. This statistic draws a negative image of Haitians residing in Haiti, and their perception on education. I believe my attendance will encourage my relatives to resume their educational pursuits, and the next generation will follow.
70 years ago after the war Britain was looking to change people lives by introducing the welfare state: the National Health Service was introduced, new houses were built and municipal swimming pools and leisure centres were opened. We thought this would have been an end to poverty. Who would have thought that70 years later, in this day and age there are people who are starving and struggle so much that they have to go to food banks to receive food. Food banks are very popular in Britain. These differ from food banks where hungry families or people will go to receive a parcel of food.
It is not only my intellectual curiosity, but also my passion towards giving back to the community, that will lead me to success. As a UD honors student, I plan on joining organizations and performing volunteer work that I have done in high school. It will allow me to consolidate my musical and creative passions, while participating in new extracurricular activities pertaining to sports and community service. I believe that with the University of Delaware’s many opportunities, I can have the potential to become a strong leader and active member of the UD Honors community. The lessons that I have learned from working with these children will forever remain a part of me, as I hope to grow to be someone who will one day be able to change society, and will remind me to always dare to
