First off, I am humbled to be considered for membership of the National Honor Society. In my opinion on the foundation of the four pillars of NHS the FPC NHS chapter will benefit from my membership because I will bring intellect, drive, leadership, character, dedication to serve my community, honesty, respect, pride, discipline, compassion and among many other qualities a sense of humor. As an active member of my school and community I work hard to serve not just myself but those around me. I am an active volunteer throughout Flagler County as previously stated. I am a teenage volunteer at the Florida Hospital Flagler. As a volunteer I assist the nurses and doctors in various jobs and endeavors; these can range anywhere …show more content…
I will help motivate my peers to take on more community and school service projects. I am not afraid to break out of my comfort zone to benefit those around me. The past two years I have worked to come out of my comfort zone and try new things. This lead me to many clubs and extracurricular activities that I know enjoy. For example, I am an active member of the FPC band. I have met a lot of new people being in that club that helped inspire me to make a bigger impact in my community. As I begin volunteering more time outside of school I realized how much I enjoyed dedicating my time to help those around me. Motivating others to do the same then became my goal for my future. My intelligence and intellect are also very important to me and thus have led me to this situation. I have a passion for learning that fuels my success in education. Intellect is an important aspect of any good leader and community member. My intelligence allows me to catch on to new things quickly and process new information rapidly. This helps me to assess situations with a clear state of mind; leading me to problem solve if applicable, at a fast rate in the …show more content…
As a member of FPC’s future problem solvers and community problem solvers club I have embraced and enhanced my problem solving and critical thinking skills to allow myself to lead my peers. My pivotal leadership role as a Varsity captain for FPC’s Girls Lacrosse speaks volumes as to how my coaches and teammates view me. As a mentor to other players on my team I aid them on and off the field; offering a friendship they can confide in, and tips/tricks they can use to improve their skills. I work with my peers in various clubs to help better them in any way I can. I greatly understand the importance of bettering our school. In my community problem-solving project, Safety Before Sunshine, my peers and I are working to increase the use of sun protection by adolescents in Florida. We have devoted many hours towards our action plan, which consists mostly of our intent to implement sunscreen dispensers in various places throughout Palm Coast and Flagler Beach. We have worked with city, county, and district officials to develop our action plan devoting numerous hours working towards our goal. We plan to go further than our sunscreen dispensers and educate our community as much as possible after returning from state competition. We plan to continue our project into the summer of
Moreover, I hope to find other organizations and opportunities to serve others, either on or off campus, that will make others' lives better, possibly even becoming involved in initiatives run by the local school system, since I hope to be heavily involved in at least one of the local schools as I
Through my organization, I have earned over 500 hours of community service and was awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Bronze Medallion for my continued efforts in giving back to the community. During the summer, I assist
I always serve my community in any way possible. I am always a good leader for groups, sports, etc., I always welcome new ideas even if
What I see as the function of the National Honor Society is to encourage young adults like myself to participate more within their school and community. It allows students the ability to give and serve other people that have done so for them. This group will give many students an eye opening experience on volunteering for fellow citizens. If I were to be selected into the National Honor Society, I would contribute to the group by sharing ideas and giving useful feedback to the other students in the group. I would also provide personal experiences of certain voluntary services that I have completed, if needed.
Along with Phi Theta Kappa, my goals are to make our world a better place and with what my life choices have made me and my educational journey has taught me, I will exercise all opportunities presented to me to help make a difference in our world. During my recent summer employment working with children, I received a strong confirmation that people, especially children, are struggling with choices and will quickly act to do something only to receive something, and this created a great deal of sadness and wonder inside me. My summer experience, along with the knowledge, skills and courage I have gained through Phi Theta Kappa leadership conferences, I am increasingly determined to reach out to help instill what is good in others, especially in our children, who hold their future in their hands. I have always enjoyed reaching out to my community, serving and learning about the people around me. There was a time I volunteered at an organization as a youth soccer coach and a roller hockey coach knowing I had never played before, I must say it was the most fun learning how to lead experience.
The eleventh of May, two-thousand twelve, my world collapsed. It was as if every piece of my life was crumbling into a pile of brokenness. David Martin Pearson of eighteen years, had passed away from a brutal fight against brain cancer. David showed me there is more to life than battles, devastating occurrences, and depression. Since the passing of my brother, my life has completely changed to becoming a leader and taking a stand for those who are unable to fight.
The first reason why I should be in National Junior Honor Society is because of my leadership skills. The first example of my leadership skills are applied to my youth group in the Cecilton Parish. I am the treasurer and help with the Ideas for fundraising. We, as a group held a spaghetti dinner for the church and I managed the money and the setting. Pursuing this further, I actively show leadership in school.
I am extremely honored to be eligible for this opportunity to apply for the National Honor Society. Becoming a member of the National Honor Society has been a goal I set for myself since I was a student in middle school. I have been greatly looking forward to this moment for a very long time. Overall, I have worked incredibly hard these last two years to display a positive character and obtain qualities such as leadership, responsibility, and scholarship. I strongly believe I will be a productive and reliable member of the National Honor Society at Harvard H. Ellis Technical High School.
It is an extraordinary honor to be considered as a candidate for the National Honor Society. Being considered means I have achieved my goal in demonstrating my determination- in school and outside of school- and my willingness to aid people in my community. Being a part of such a prestigious organization is an enormous responsibility to which I will fully devote my time. Ever since I was a freshman, my goal was to work diligently to be among the highest scholars and to be accepted into this scholarly “hall of fame”. Through my relentless hard work and perseverance, I believe that I possess the four characteristics of a National Honor Society member- leadership, service, character, and scholarship.
Today I am deeply humbled to be recognized as a potential member of the National Honor Society. To me this means I have exemplified everything you look for in a student who goes above and beyond, not just in academics but in athletics, the community and at home as well. I have not taken this selection for granted, as I believe would be a great asset to the National Honor Society. I am hardworking, honest, reliable and quite charismatic too. I hold all the qualities required by the distinguished NHS like leadership, service, character and scholarship.
Cesar Chavez has inspirational core values to accept all people, celebrate the community, respect life and the environment, non-violence, innovation, preference to help the most needy, knowledge, sacrifice, service to others, and determination. His first core value to accept all people, I was raised to not judge people based on their race or religion. Being raised this way has made me curious about other peoples backgrounds and cultures. Therefore, during my years in college I would like to spend a semester abroad in order to incorporate myself in another culture and learn as much as possible. Celebrating the community, one of the major ways that I have done this is being involved in Florence All-Around 4-H. We take pride in giving back to the community whether it is to help an elderly couple clean up their yard or volunteering for town events.
This prepares myself for my future because I am going to college to secure a degree in education for elementary students, once I graduate high school. These are examples of how I contribute to various teams and a small
Additionally, I have also been active in my school and community outside of the classroom, serving on the student council as Secretary Treasurer for four years, serving as an officer in the Future Business Leaders of America chapter at
In 2010, I decided to leave my country and immigrate to America, hoping to build a better life for me and my family. When you're born African, and living in a west African country (Ivory Coast) tore apart by a ten years civil war, and you are in your late twenties, you also hold that time is on your side and everything is still possible. Holding that for truth, I seized the first opportunity to immigrate to the USA and bet for a new beginning. I'm fully aware that many people before me have taken such decisions. Some of them have succeeded and some of them have failed.
For example, at a young age, I had always wanted to be a leader. I have developed the drive to be the best leader, athlete, and student without losing sight of what is important. To be given the opportunity to continue to better myself at such a respected and prestigious university is almost
