NHS Acceptance Essay
The standards for entrance into the National Honor Society are scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Through this paper I will strive to prove that I possess all of these qualities, and moreover, that I am qualified for entrance into an organization as prestigious as the National Honor Society. Over the past four years as a scholar, I believe that I have demonstrated all of these characteristics. That I have the scholarly ability required to be a NHS member is indicated simply by the fact that I was nominated for entrance into the NHS in the first place, though since I get the impression that more than this is required, I will point out that I have consistently made the honor roll every quarter during my years in both High- and Middle-school. Also, my involvement in the school's "Jets TEAMS" (Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) team during my Junior year functions as an indicator of my scholarship. Jets TEAMS is an intense, annual competition in which schools send 8 of their strongest students to compete against other schools in a nationwide contest. During my Junior year I was fortunate enough to be selected as one of the eight students (only 3 of whom were Juniors) who would go to th
I would hope that all these instances have already been elaborated upon completely enough in the previous paragraphs that I do not need to do so again. Through my involvement in Jets TEAMS and my solid academic record, I feel that I have demonstrated the scholarship required for entrance into the National Honor Society. I also feel that if I am fortunate enough to earn inclusion in the NHS, that I would do nothing detract from the prestige and respectability that is associated with the National Honor Society. I think, however, that what is more important than what the actual community service is, is what the participant takes away from it. I think that this is why service is such an important part of becoming a NHS member, because without it, one would not know that there is a reward to be found in selflessly helping others, the reward of personal satisfaction, of knowing that you did something good for no purpose other than the sake of doing something good. The website that I had (during my Junior year) was entitled "Definitive MP3," and it contained general as well as in depth technical information on Digital Audio (MP3), related software programs which visitors could download, and a section where people could find technical support for the software programs. This can be likened to community service because I gave up a good deal of my time and effort for no reason other than the benefit and enjoyment of other people. Through my time spent as a delegation leader, I learned a lot about the compromise, fairness, and responsibility that are required if one is be a "good" leader of others. e competition, and through our team's efforts, we were able to come in first in the state of Connecticut, earning recognition not just for ourselves, but for the town of Granby as well. By this point in my paper, I would think that I have already demonstrated that I possess sufficient character to become a member of the National Honor Society (and I would also like to thank the reader for having the tenacity to make it this far). I won't elaborate on this point, however, as this paragraph is already becoming monstrous in scope. My involvement with People to People has taught me such traits as personal responsibility and integrity, through Jets TEAMS and my participation on the Granby Tennis Team I have learned about the importance of teamwork and group dynamics, and by being a web-master for a completely non-profit website, I have learned how to be self-sacrificing, and about how rewarding this can be. Bibliography None, though anyone who uses this might want to look out for reference that are too specific.
