Honor Society Speeches

I, personally, believe that I demonstrate this quality exceptionally well, causing me to be an excellent candidate for NJHS. To corroborate on why I think of myself this way, we can look to one of my personal experiences: my experience at the Dawson College Bound Summer Summit. Towards the end of my sixth grade year, my science teacher, Mrs. Kuhlman, informed me that I have been nominated to join the selective Dawson College Bound Summer Summit program--a program in which about sixty or so sixth grade students out of the Clark County School District are asked to apply to participate in attending their prestigious school for four weeks during the sixth and seventh grade summer vacation (link to website). Dazzled by the description of the program and the fact that I was selected to apply, I immediately filled out the online form, exerting as much effort in the application as possible.

It has truly been an honor to serve in NJHS. I have learned many key characteristics that will help guide my life in the future. Planning events and volunteering in them have helped me create stronger bonds with my peers and fun memories to look back on. I was allowed the privilege to be apart of such an awarding society.

Initiating and advocating change for students and the community without the expectation of being recognized is what has made me an HBCU All-Star. The moment I came to Nashville to attend the Illustrious Tennessee State University, I vowed to be an advocate for change and lead on and off campus. Countless hours and many sacrifices were made to ensure that my scholarship exemplified academic excellence. Extensive strategic planning and professional development was completed to ensure that my leadership was effective for my student body, local community, and the HBCU community at large. Humble and willing service to my community is what I’ve executed through my civic engagement in political and community affairs.

Juggling school, extracurricular activities, and giving to others is an exceptionally difficult task. It is a delicate balance that we always are struggling with, but Jesus teaches us that if we put others’ needs before our own, He will put our needs first in Heaven. My goal for the final year of NJHS membership is to view the service I do as something that I want to accomplish, not only as something that is required. It has always been hard for me to strive to work toward something that has no payoff, but seeing the service through the eyes of the one being served can show you how much the payoff really is. The appreciation you receive makes it all the work worth the time and trouble.

By active community service, leadership roles, and hard work, I have learned the incredible importance of academic achievement, character, leadership, and service. Through these things, I have been substantially prepared by the Beta Club to serve others as I depart high school and

I believe I display all of the qualities mentioned in the four pillars of National Honor Society. I am a person of good character who displays the six pillars of character in everything I do. I provide leadership and service in many ways and value education as a lifelong learner. Being a member of the National Honor Society would motivate me even more to be the best version of myself and help to create change in positive

Finally, I help everyone I can and I honor the country. I show these attributes by doing community work, helping out my family and developing my own opinions on political

Dear the National Honor Society selection committee, Thank you for the great honor of being invited to apply for membership to such a well-respected and incredible organization. I am very excited about this opportunity as it presents an optimal way in which to further my passion of expanding my mind and bettering my community. Since I entered high school, I have pursued this by taking all honors classes and any Advanced Placement classes offered to me each year. Although sometimes I was not always entirely sure what to expect walking into each class, and of course there have been classes I like more than others, there is no class I regret taking because each and every one has opened my mind up to a new way of thinking.

It is a great honor to be nominated as a member of the National Honor Society. There are many reasons why I want to take part in NHS. One reason why I want to be in it is to continue to grow academically with people who have the same goals as me. I want to be encouraged, not discouraged by the people around me. If I get into NHS, it will give me a lot of opportunities to be a leader.

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.

Good morning, I welcome you all here today to the 2015 Science National Honor Society Induction Ceremony. I am honored to been asked to speak and to celebrate this wonderful occasion. I would like to congratulate to the students for being honored today for your achievements in leadership, community service, scholarship, character and your enthusiasm on science which are shown through hardwork and dedication that each of you has displayed. I would also like to congratulate to the parents and families for showing unconditional support, motivation, encouragement and love on these remarkable young people which is why they are here today and continue this way in order to lead them to the path of success. In addition, I would like to congratulate

Additionally, this aspect of my personality has also allowed me to truly understand and empathize with those who are less fortunate than myself. Through my church and troop’s community service event, as well as my own Eagle Project, I’ve witnessed firsthand how many simple initiatives can transform lives. My intense interest in current events and issues requires a deeper understanding of governance and statistics that I feel the University of Kansas can offer. These challenges simply cannot be understated, hence my application to this scholarship program. I can bring a unique and desperately needed perspective to the University, and I will be able to take the practical and academic knowledge I will gain at KU out with me into the working

I started the Model United Nations club because I want to improve global awareness in my high school and help students see issues from other people's point of view as well as their own. I could be a unique and good addition to a family and community because I always do what I can to help out, don’t discriminate against cultures or beliefs different than my own, and relate to other people easily. The NSLI-Y experience is without any doubt a challenging one but I believe I am prepared. My experiences in speech and debate have prepared me with the ability to be able to talk to people I’ve never met and relate to them while effectively getting my point across.

From a young age, I learned to be very independent, and this independence has led me to gain leadership skills that have proven valuable in school. As Vice-President of National Honor Society, I have helped take charge of more than a hundred members and helped direct and organize community service events. Such as the Harvest Fall Festival or visiting nursing homes
