In The National Honors Society, there are four pillars that an NHS Member should exemplify. These four pillars consist of Leadership, Service, Character, and Scholarship. I think that I would be a good candidate for NHS because I exemplify these four pillars. First, I have leadership qualities testified by my numerous leadership positions across multiple fields. Another trait that I support heavily is service. I support this trait by the plethora of community service activities I participate in both community and world wide. Following service is character which can signify numerous things from courage to compassion and honesty to loyalty. This trait which is much harder to express in words is sprinkled all throughout my life in scenarios both big and small.

Another of my many positions is in my local church Lake of the Woods Church. Here I serve on a leadership team charged with not just the duties of being a role model for our Youth Group but also with assisting teachers, leading small groups, and making any new attendees feel welcome. The next of my many

I definitely believe that I fit into Cor Jesu’s chapter of NHS. I have participated in many service opportunities and leadership positions, and while those both demonstrate what my participation in NHS would be if I am accepted, but I am also honest, responsible, kind, respectful, and helpful.

Leadership is significantly important for everyone to succeed and achieve our goals. In our church, I have been one of the office-bearers in the youth branch for over three years.

For example, when we did fundraising for our youth branch, we worked together as a team so that we could complete our task quickly.

It is an absolute honor and privilege to be chosen for this prestigious position in our school. Throughout my school career, the only thing that teachers ever saw from me was my grades and school work, but now I have the chance to show what I do in my spare time outside of the classroom. My time is dedicated to helping the community of Windber by doing community service and being a leader to up-and-coming generations, which all contributes to the development and building of my character. Out of these three categories, however, the one that I focus on the most is my dedication to the community. Community Service has been a big part of my life throughout my high school career because of my hourly requirements through religious education.

A big part of my leadership experience is my involvement in the student ministry at my church. I am in my second year of being a part of our Student Leadership Team which is lucky enough to have a big hand in the lives of many teens from multiple school districts. As an SLT member we are required to do: announcements, that are done at the start of every night; attend leadership meetings every other week, to talk about future events and our direction as a ministry; and teaching a lesson to the entire ministry, at least once a year. Being on this team has caused me to not only grow as a leader, but to also grow as a person in general.
