    I’d be able to take on more responsibilities in the school and community as well as helping my fellow students in their endeavours. I would be in a position where I’d be more readily able to use my leadership skill in helping others, and guiding them to obtain a better control over their surroundings. If I were to be invited to become a member of the NHS, I’d desire to be influenced by the best the school has to offer and hopefully make my mark on others lives as the one who is dependable, trustworthy and above all else willing to do anything to brighten another's’ day. In summation, being a part of the National Honor Society would better my life in innumerable ways while I aim to do the same for others around…

    There are many ways one may contribute to their society. Some people may use their intelligence in order to advance society; some may lead the country to be a better future; some may make the world to be a better place just by being in it; and some may volunteer their time to help others. It’s difficult to find one person who possesses and contributes all of these qualities, but I am sure I do. Because the standards for entrance into the Junior Honors Society are leadership, scholarship, character, and service, I believe that I am more qualified for entrance into an organization as prestigious as the Junior Honors Society. Throughout my years as a Meridian Public Charter School student, I believe that I have demonstrated all of these attributes. First and foremost, I am an excellent scholar. Not only do I work very hard to achieve my goals, but I take pride I my accomplishments. I am never happy when something I now is less than my best. I strive for excellence always. Throughout me elementary school career, I have been on the honor roll every marking period, and I am proud of that. At the end of my elementary school years I believe I have been the smartest of them all. Also, my GPA has never gone below a 3.6 and I have never received a grade less than a B-. I believe that fact of being nominated for the Junior Honors Society shows my academic achievement in itself. I am also capable of being an honorable leader. I am trustworthy and responsible. If something is expected of me, I try my best to live up to the expectations and strive to do even better. I am true to my word and I can be trusted to complete a task on time. I am also a respectable person suit to be a leader. I do not follow crowds, nor would I ever desire to; I enjoy being unique.…

    Throughout my high school career, I actively sought to be a part of the leadership programs at my school and beyond, by volunteering my summers to help with Wilderness Nature camp, working weekly at The Cat House, and volunteering around the community as often as I could. I was also a part of student council and NHS in school and was on the leadership teams of both organizations. For my school’s National Honor Society chapter, I was the Memorial Garden Chair, and planned many events to help improve the environment around my high school, from weekly clean ups to picking up trash all around the building to reduce the impact we had on our environment. I want to continue to do as much as I can to help improve the environment, and UNL’s overall…

    I have always had an excellent academic performance at school, but unlike those who only have good grades, I also understood the significance of leading a well-rounded student life. Not only have I participated in many different kinds of activities and competitions, but I have also held various part-time jobs with the result my life experience is far richer than my peers. A particular benefit of this is that I am more tolerant and understanding of others and appreciative of the strengths peculiar to individuals.…
