Statement Of Purpose: The National Honor Society
The National Honor society is a highly esteemed organisation that is in high schools all across the nation. It gathers students who are already upstanding citizens in their school and community and establishes a sense of selflessness into the youth. The National Honor establishes leadership, selflessness and strengthens the character of their members, which benefits the future of our nation.

If I am accepted into such an established organization, it will be a great honor. It gives me the opportunity to help out my school as well as my community. As well as meet students who share similar goals and ambitions as myself. I will try my best to help with the fundraisings, and do as much community service as I can. If accepted, I'll contribute

    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.…

    “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.…

    The pillar of scholarship has influenced me since before I was inducted into the National Honor Society. From this pillar I adopted the attitude that every aspect of academics and knowledge requires the full devotion of myself and my time. I have learned that the true value of the pillar of scholarship is to educate individuals of the capabilities and success that only continuous education can provide.…

    As a student of Newton-Conover High School, I am honored of being among those who qualify for The National Honors Society. Throughout my years in school, I have always wanted to exceed and pursue in my education.

    Unlike some National Honor Society members, I put aside time in my busy schedule to commit to events that I sign up for. I am a member who wants to volunteer and make a difference in people’s lives, not just to complete the required hours for the year. The National Honor Society has not only taught me that there is more to myself and my abilities than I once saw, but it also taught me a life lesson of how important it is in life to respect and be kind to those around…
