Reflection On The Four Pillars Of National Honor Society
The four pillars of National Honor Society (NHS) are personality traits that separate the mediocre students from the admirable students. This exclusive program comprises members with outstanding scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The pillars of NHS parallels those of the Indiana Association of Student Councils (IASC), inspiration, action, service, and character. As a member of the IASC and NHS, I have integrated these pillars into my personality.
Each pillar is important towards any aspect of success. Scholarship includes reaching one’s maximum potential, not just a commitment to learning. Leadership is characterized by the ability to inspire others, act accordingly, complete community service, and display an ambitious nature. Service involves the …show more content…
Never did I know how much I would learn from service projects. Never did I know how much my personality would change. When my cross country coach handed me the Knight of Honor award, he said my “greatest strength is my work ethic.” This perseverance has helped lead to the success of my most life-changing service project, my Eagle Scout project.
My Eagle service project was to install a series of tree identification stands in proximity to the plethora of trees around Kendallville’s Bixler Lake Park. The identification stands make hiking trips, camping, and walking more informative and educational. This project tested my leadership skills and experiences which display my knowledge through the years as a scout and as a student.
This project has taught me scholarship, service, and leadership, and this has truly changed my character. The rank of Eagle Scouts represents a young man’s dedication to learning, his time for the community, and his ability to lead. This Scouting journey has taught me a myriad of skills, wisdom, and knowledge that cannot be expressed in words. This experience has helped shape me into the dexterous person I am

    National Honor Society: Self Analysis

    A member of such a society based on character, scholarship and leadership is one who can demonstrate these three tasks in their everyday lives. The ease of maintaining a balanced schedule whilst also upholding these characteristics may not be the simplest of tasks at times, even for the best students, although the drive to strive for this essence sets individuals apart from the majority. I believe that in my everyday life, I demonstrate these ideals and would heartily enjoy guiding others in them. To be exercise any of these qualities requires one’s own desire, a desire which I not only try to instill into myself, but into others as well. Being part of the National Honor Society would not only be an honor in and of itself, but an honor which is able to transcend its membership and let a person such as myself try to better the school, town, and familial communities by doing good in each of them.…

    American Legion: Personal Statement Of Purpose

    Last summer, I endeavored a life changing experience. American Legion Buckeye Boys State is a leadership program. It is the best Boys State program in the nation. On top of this, it is among the top programs for leadership, growth, and is a meeting of the greatest minds of Ohio, and by proxy, of the nation. But it’s so much more than that. From Day One, the minute you step off the bus, it instantly becomes an incredible experience. Everyone, people who have never even met before, are shaking everyone else’s hands, introducing themselves, and campaigning for positions before anyone has even dropped their luggage off. It was breathtaking, truly, and it made me realize that I too had to step up. Naturally, I did just that. I started meeting people,…

    Personal Narrative: Camp Sierra Vista

    Every year the camp brought in a great group of girls. Having been chosen for officer positions and a starguider among those girls truly made it an honor. I value being highly regarded for my leadership in a place I love so much. Every year as I returned home from camp I tried to keep the same mind set as I had there, one of leadership. This is when I discovered that I did not need a title to be a leader. I could be a leader in everyday life by my…

    National Honor Society Four Pillars Analysis

    The four pillars of the National Honor Society; scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the four qualities of a well-rounded individual. They have not only embodied who I strive to be, but have helped me achieve success and impact throughout my local community and my time as a national honor society member. Scholarship has helped me define not only who I am as a student, but has helped me prepare for my future. Without my drive to maintain my academics and pursue knowledge, I would not have discovered my love and passion for teaching. This newly discovered passion has helped me narrow down my future career, special education. Service, has helped me develop one of my individual characteristics, as I now understand the importance…

    Overcoming Obstacles In National Honor Society

    “The hardest obstacle to overcome in any leadership position is getting past the apathy to get people involved in the process to get things done…The greatest enemy to accomplishment is apathy” (Burke). National Honor Society upholds its members to have 4 important values. These being scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Leadership, in my opinion, is a very important aspect in National Honors Society because you are expected to be a role model by positively inspiring people around you. This quote stuck out because it says that inspiring people is a way to overcome obstacles in leadership. If you inspire people and make them get rid of their apathy, you can overcome stalling in the process and reach accomplishment.…

    Eagle Scout Life Statement

    I started cub scouts when I was 7 years old. My dad took me to a meeting and I loved the fun games we played and interesting topics we learned. When I graduated from cub scouts and joined Boy Scouts ,I really enjoyed the camping, hiking and outdoor experiences. Earning First Class was easy. I learned a lot about camping, first aid, orienteering, canoeing and cooking. When I achieved Star, I started to learn how to complete merit badges, some of which took me a lot longer then I thought. Climbing to Life Scout is where I started to slow down and focus on my leadership skills. In my leadership training, I had the privilege of going to NYLT and honing my leadership techniques. During this time, I was accepted into…

    Colorguard Personal Narrative

    One of my most defining experiences to date has been my involvement with the colorguard squad at my school. The colorguard squad is an auxiliary unit that is part of the marching band. We perform with the band at Friday night football games during halftime while spinning flags and rifles to the music. To me, colorguard is so much more than that. Freshman year when I went to tryouts I was terrified. I did not have any friends trying out with me; I was walking into a gym full of older girls whom I had never met. To my surprise, being on the squad for the past three years has been such a defining achievement during high school for me. Without the squad I would have had a completely different experience in school. I learned the value of hard work…
