I am devoted to service and have spent the past four years improving my school and community. The activities and awards listed below represent my various interests and abilities. Throughout high school, I have challenged myself by embracing greater responsibilities in multiple organizations in order to make a positive difference. I would like to highlight my work with the National Honor Society (NHS). Currently, I am president of my school’s chapter. During my freshman year, my work and dedication were recognized by the advisor and she created the role of parliamentarian specifically for me. As a junior my peers elected me to be vice-president. I earned the position of president by my senior year. In acknowledgement of the effort I put into NHS, faculty members selected me to represent the student body at the school’s Dutchmen Foundation. At this Foundation, I am one of two student representatives who work with the Board of Trustees to successfully plan fundraisers for school enrichment projects. Most recently I was appointed secretary and chairperson of Annville-Cleona’s much beloved Mini-THON Committee. …show more content…

March 15, 2023 Dear National Honor Society Chapter and Faculty Council, When I was six, I refused to eat pizza with my hands at the risk of appearing “unprofessional” to prospective employers. When I was 12, I took my first practice SAT test on CollegeBoard, calculating anticipated growth to compare against prestigious colleges. When I transitioned to high school, I fixated on the future, weighing extracurriculars primarily for their contributions to my resume. Surrounded by a high-achieving and competitive culture, application to the National Honors Society seems obligatory. However, as I’ve matured, through engagement with Fairview and the organization, I’ve learned that NHS is substantially more than a resume-builder.
