254 Words2 Pages
I have received a letter each year in track and field from freshman to junior year. One of those years (Sophomore), I broke our pole vault record; I received an award for that as well. Each year I have attended our conference's sections and competed in pole vaulting and my junior year I added on hurdling. Being in an individual-based sport through a team has really allowed me to understand the balance between working for yourself, and working for others Alongside track, I have fully participated in our school and church choir. Sophomore and Junior year I acquired letters in choir, while also making the Payne Street Singers (auditioned show choir) my junior and now senior year. Our choir every year organizes an event called Ditties and Desserts.

As an athlete myself the athletics are a major part of why I would like to go to Archbishop Mitty High School. The wide range of sports means that if I grow tired of one sport I can move to another.

When I first received the letter inviting me to apply for National Honor Society, my first thought was how incredibly proud I was for the amount of hard work and dedication I have put into my last few years of high school.

It is such a profound honor to be a candidate for National Honor Society. I have driven myself to be hard-working and to achieve as much as possible. Along with being hard-working and achieving a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, I have decided to try new things and start the strenuous sport of cross country.

My life has been full of many opportunities to participate in things that I love and these opportunities have taught me fabulous lessons. Through my persistent hard work in the Clark high school marching band I have been very fortunate to learn important lessons about positivity, service and respect.

Working out and making countless mistakes in the scorching Texas heat does not seem like the ideal place to learn about positivity, however that is exactly what it is.
