Personal Narrative: National Honor Society
When I was a National Honor Society Member at my High School, we were able to work with a program called VIP Soccer in which volunteers played with and taught special needs children the game of soccer. It was actually my favorite event within our organization especially when we got to see how happy each child was and the smiles on their parents’ faces when they saw that their son or daughter was having fun. Eventually, I was so inspired by this movement that I actually started a similar program but at my local golf club. How I got this started was actually by meeting the owner of the golf club, and the parents of my teammates on my school golf team. After a couple of months of planning and talking to more interested volunteers, I was finally

    Personal Narrative: My Eagle Scout Project

    One might wonder what a fifteen-year-old was doing standing atop a thirty-yard dumpster, chainsaw in hand, and yelling, "Give me more! It can hold more!" During my ninth grade year I saw an opportunity to complete my Eagle Scout project, helping the Lenape Valley Church remove massive piles of downed pine branches fallen during an early March ice storm, creating an eyesore and complaints from the local community. The project I was tackling was Herculean, and I, compared to now, very inexperienced at leading people. But it is Boy Scout’s duty to give back to his community and I had promised that the enormous piles of branches and snow would be gone before Easter.…

    Personal Narrative: My APUSH Class

    My APUSH class was perhaps my favorite class my junior year despite it having been so rigorous and time demanding. I really enjoyed the material and although it was a large amount of work that was required, I still never found myself not finishing everything. It is for that reason that I really value this notebook. I did not fail to miss a single day of doing homework in the class and really managed to fit a whole year's worth of vocabulary in one single notebook. I think that to me it really represents the time and work that I put into getting everything done as a mean of getting myself prepared for the AP exam. I would always just sit with my friends, trying to complete the homework, it gave most of us something in common to complain about…

    Personal Statement: An Application For The National Honors Society

    To be able to succeed in everything is a goal most people have for themselves. With success comes happiness, comfortability, and a sense of accomplishment. This is my greatest goal in life, to be able to make something of myself; to become someone no one else could imagine me being. This kind of motivation and perseverance that I display is what I believe can make me an excellent candidate for the National Honors Society. I have always set outstanding goals for myself, putting the pressure on myself I needed to so that I would get the outcome I desired. This strength shows through my grades and the rigorous classes I take, as well as my growth in character. Not only do I excel in my perseverance, but I believe I am a strong leader here at Central Dauphin, someone who is not only helpful in the classroom, but also in the community.…

    Personal Narrative: The Washington Semester Program

    “Life starts at the end of your comfort zone.” Is a quote I have constantly told others, encouraging them to step out of their safety zones and to experience life. But I truly did not understand the meaning of that quote until I stepped foot into Delta Hall in January. I had heard about the Washington Semester Program when I came to tour UGA my senior year of high school and I knew instantly that it was something I wanted to participate in. Since freshmen year I patiently waited until I could finally apply to the program and then before I knew it I was actually in Delta Hall, starting the program. I was out of my comfort zone, in a completely new city, away from friends and family – living with 31 strangers for an entire semester and there was no turning back. Looking back on this semester, I cannot believe how life changing it…

    This August my mother and I packed my small sedan to the brim and traveled six hours to see my dream school, Rice University. While my mother was hoping I would realize that the University of Oklahoma was a better choice I was hoping she would see what I see. Passing through the bustling city life of Houston brimming with Fortune 500 companies we pulled onto campus. My mother let out an audible gasp as we passed under a brick archway that led to a campus of beautiful greenery , art installations ,architecture and soft sand bricking. Beginning our tour we were shown the William Marsh Rice sculptor where our guide told of the infamous 180 degree prank.…

    Personal Narrative: The National Junior Honor Society

    One day in seventh grade something wondrous occurred to me. At the end of the school day I was packing my belongings that I would need when I materialized at my house. Though while I was preoccupied, I espied something in my mailbox with my eyes suddenly. In matter of that fact, I decided to walk over to it. I slipped my hand through it and then grasped a letter. In result, my body very slowly went to my seat and I opened it. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was accepted into the National Junior Honor Society. I was so thrilled that I was going ditzy with my adrenaline rising, at least in a fine way. I started cavorting up and down. My body could not stop jumping,vibrating with joy or talking about my news. So I told all of my friends in my class…

    Personal Narrative: Brandeis University

    Where I wanted to go to college, was a question that loomed over my head for most junior year and the summer before senior year. Deciding where you want to go to college is a major milestone decision, one which I carefully thought over. I knew I wanted to attend a liberal arts college, because I believe the mind is a garden that requires cultivation. I knew I wanted to be in an environment that really pushed me to think conceptually and without censor. When Brandeis University, in Waltham, Massachusetts, came up in my college search, I was immediately intrigued. Brandeis has a long history of promoting social justice and giving back to the community, so I was delighted when I got my acceptance letter in February!…

    My Literacy of Volunteering at the Special Olympics

    Normally when someone thinks of volunteering at the Special Olympics, they probably think of the fact that it is community service and it is something that looks good on applications for a job or college. What they do not think about is how rewarding and incredible the experience actually is. Growing up, I had always been around mentally challenged adults and children because my mom works with them through Central Valley Regional Center as an intake counselor. When she asked me if I wanted to volunteer one year, I was excited and figured if anything, it would be a fun time. However, I had come to find out that it wasn’t just “fun”, it was a learning experience for me also. There is definitely much more behind it than just helping the athletes compete. It is an awesome opportunity to experience all the positive energy and personal achievement. Every year I find myself bonding and cheering on my peers whose challenges like Downs Syndrome or autism disappears between us while our main focus is on their events they compete in. Not many people take the time to volunteer or some just don’t even know how to go about doing so. I make sure to spread the word that it is open for anyone and everyone to volunteer their time. I choose to bring someone new with me every year to share the gratifying experience by my side in hopes that they can help spread awareness of this event and get others interested as well. That very first year of volunteering with my mom a few years back, there was an incident that took place that helped me right then and there, realize that I wanted to come back every year for the rest of my life. I left the event that day with a new appreciation for life, which I have continued to do every other time since then. The feeling of joy I get anytime the inspiring athletes are surrounding me will never fade.…

    Personal Statement For National Honor Society

    I am deeply honored to be among the great students who are being considered for the National Honor Society. Being nominated to be a member of the national honor society shows me that I have achieved my goal to work as hard as I possibly can to stand out among my class mates academically. I feel that this organization does great things, and I’m happy I can play a role in helping the impression that is made. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and commendable characters; I feel that I have both. Last quarter I received a 3.5. I have been a football quarterback for a while, and being a part of the team has taught me a lot about teamwork and dependability. I try to bring what I learn on the field…

    Personal Narrative: Honor Vs. Honor Roll

    Throughout the past two years, I’ve received a considerable amount of academic awards and honors. Starting in seventh grade, I received a position on principal’s list for all four quarters in the year. This is one step higher than the honor roll, and is similar to the high honor roll. you have to maintain at least a 94 GPA in order to acquire this award. In addition to this, I also won 1st place in the STEM fair, and I qualified for the regional fair. Unfortunately, I did not receive any awards at the regional level, however it was a honor being able to attend. Eighth grade was similar to seventh. I obtained an average above a 94, and remained on the principal’s list for all four quarters of the school year. In 8th grade, I continued participating…

    Personal Narrative: The Yearbook

    The intact blue and green wool tartan-covered yearbook in my hands softly rekindles memories of my boarding school friends, faculty and fun. Yes, we girls studied and goofed off like most teenagers; perhaps more intensely because we were cooped up together for four - often fantastic - years. While the title and date of the yearbook are clear on the binding, the nameplate on the cover now only partially reveals my then-name. This little gold plate with fractured black letters makes me think of how my name changed (more than once) over the years and how my long-ago self remains deeply embedded in the person I have become - and will yet…

    “Honor! Courtesy! Integrity! Perseverance! Self-control! Courage! Community!” Every Tae Kwon Do class began and ended with the recitation of these tenants. Because of my small stature and extreme shyness, I became a victim of bullying at a very young age. My father enrolled me in a local Tae Kwon Do academy in hopes of instilling courage and self-esteem, but I learned so much more.…
