One quality that is very important for an honor council member is to be alert and have good listening skills. These are good qualities to have because you have to listen to the whole story well to discover the truth. The second quality that is important for an honor council member to have is confidentiality. Confidentiality is an important quality to have because an honor council member has to keep all hearings confidential and tell no one else about them. Another reason that confidentiality is important is because the person that had to go to a hearing most likely does not want anyone to know that they had to go to honor council. Knowledge of the school’s honor code and discipline policy is a very good quality of an honor council member because…

National Honor Society continues to shape me into an independent, self-sufficient young adult. The four pillars play an important role in my life no matter where I am.

Along with many other achievements in the last three years, my involvement in National Honors Society is one of the most significant. In the past two years I have been a part of National Honors Society at my high school. The four pillars of NHS include: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. I believe I am a leading exemplar of those standards. Scholarship entails more than just getting good grades. It is achieving recognizable grades in rigorous courses that challenge you to learn outside of your comfort zone. National Honors Society has encouraged me to make an impact on my community. Community service is not an obligation, it is a choice I make because it is selfless and rewarding in ways far beyond words. Volunteering is doing…
Being part of an institution such as Latino Scholars of Promise has instilled many values in me. The Latino Scholars of Promise is a program that is dedicated to preparing soon to be college students for the future by developing leadership and preparing them for the real world. It has affected me as an individual and has affected other aspects of my life. Being part of a program like this one has helped me view my surroundings in a different way. I am able to see things differently and act in a way in which those beliefs could be used. Without the help of this program I would not be able to learn and put into practice the four values I hold dear today: perseverance, valor and leadership. There are so many instances in which I am driven and determined to use them such as my education, helping others succeed, and most importantly inspiring my…
I believe that character, service, and leadership are qualities that I possess in order to be selected for National Honor Society. My participation in sports, clubs, and community service throughout my high school career has helped me learn what it is to be a leader, and what it means to have good character. I have been on the cross country and track team for my freshman, sophomore, and junior year. I will also run cross country and track when I am a senior in the fall. Being a part of both of these teams has strengthened my character, and has made me a better leader.…
My school has a somewhat kind of developed honor system. It can be a little stricter. The overall idea of an honor system is a great concept. Kids that work hard get cheated on by other students. Kids can report cheaters without having their name be brought up.…
Character, service, leadership, and scholarship are four of the most important qualities that people have. The expression and utility of these characteristics can help shape the world for generations to come. A person’s willingness to help others is extremely important. The service someone does for their community reflects on their values and compassion for the less fortunate. Something that goes alongside service is leadership; a natural aptitude for leading and inspiring. The aforementioned subject is important when working on goal oriented projects and activities. Scholarship is also important; the drive for knowledge and understanding is fundamental in and out of the classroom. A proper education is incomplete if it is just shown in a learning environment. Finally, character is what sets someone apart from the rest of the population.…
I‘ve lived my life following the National Honor Society conduct and its rules. For example, in the field of leadership I was the advisory council representative in my ninth grade advisory. I would like to join the National Honor Society to participate in helping to make my community better. Hurricane Sandy destroyed many peoples’ homes, one of my close friends Abid Yazdani’s home was destroyed and I volunteered to go help and clean his apartment. I believe I should join the National Honor Society because I believe I could contribute to the society. My advisees’ and I went last year to a public school to read a children’s book that I made with a couple of my advisees’ about morals in life.

Whether I am doing a lab in my AP Biology class or spearheading a fundraiser for the Varsity Golf Team, I exemplify the four pillars of the National Honors Society. As an avid golfer who plays competitive tournaments, I know that character is one of the most important traits someone can have. Golf taught me to always have integrity and to do the right thing when people aren’t always looking. In school, I display character by always being positive and honest towards everyone I meet. I am also open to change. I exhibit scholarship everyday by coming to class prepared and ready to learn. I never back down from a challenge, which is proven by my rigorous schedule of Honors classes, AP courses, and extracurricular activities. I try my best in everything…
Being in the University Honors Program has helped me to excel in demonstrating the values of integrity, community, personal development, team achievement, pride and leadership. In particular, I feel that it has helped in grow in the area of team achievement. Before being a member of the Honors Program, I would try to complete every task I was given all by myself, even it it was a group project. I did this because I didn't trust my group member's work. After experiencing the Honors Program, I learned that everyone has specific skills that can be used to speed up a project while increasing the quality. As an OC, I will use the knowledge that I gained from the University Honors Program to utilize everyone when trying to solve a problem so that…
I would like to be a member of the Mortar Board Honor Society so I can be a part of a tradition that encourages seniors to continue seeking leadership roles. I think that experience in leadership is key to a person's career development and having the opportunities that the Mortar Board provides for a member to further their knowledge of leadership is really appealing. Furthermore, I value the same objectives that the Mortar Board stands by like your initiative to promote equal opportunity for all people, and your initiative to facilitate cooperation between societies. These are values that are very important to me as I am a minority at the school and would like to join a society that encourages diversity among its members. I also want a society…
Every honors program needs students that are driven and motivated to succeed. One of my biggest strengths is my ability to test my limits. I do not believe in settling for the easy route because I know I am capable of so much more. Some honors programs may weaken if the program contains students who are not willing to challenge themselves. As an honor student, I always strive to be the best I can possibly be. I believe in pushing my limits and exceeding my own expectations. I strongly encourage myself to try new things and step out of my comfort zone. I am not only willing to challenge…

Although there are many students that I can easily be compared to, I have spent my time striving to make the most of my involvement.…
