Goals For National Honor Society

One of the most important things that a person can do is learn to grow. As a 6’6” high schooler, growth has always come naturally to me. Whether it be through service or leadership, or some combination of both, my goal is to develop myself as a productive member of society and to positively impact the environment that surrounds me. Considering this, my vision for my college experience is simple: become equipped to live and serve my community in and outside of my career field. Universities prepare students for work within their desired area of employment. It’s only a select few universities, however, that strongly emphasize the preparation for life outside of one’s desired career field. After much consideration and research, it’s become obvious

I love interacting with people and helping them develop themselves as productive citizens and people.

It’s a true blessing to have these opportunities to serve, and the importance of recognizing and acting on them when they are presented is

For me, success in my education is a stepping stone to success in my career and beyond. I plan to declare a marketing research major when the time comes and to pursue an MBA in the subject. Like most successful students, I do prioritize grades and test scores. A transcript is an undeniable decision-making factor for colleges and employers when a person is presenting himself. However, as my education has progressed, I’ve learned to place efficient learning above grades. Receiving an “A” in a course won’t always prepare a person to live an impactful life in his/her community, but actively engaging in a course and applying the information that is learned will.
