What is the National Honor Society? The National Honor Society is a student organization that recognizes well-rounded and deserving students in schools throughout America. The focus of the National Honor Society revolves around what can be referred to as the four pillars. These four pillars are Character, Service, Leadership, and Scholarship. To be accepted and honored as a member of the National Honor Society, you must demonstrate these four pillars.
The pillars of National Honor Society, scholarship, leadership, service and character, are the foundation upon which each chapter and its’ members strive to better their community and school. Service is what creates the National Honor Society, the actions of one done in order to help others or the community without any monetary or material compensation. Scholarship, the commitment and desire to learn; leadership, the initiative to take action in order to create results for a group of individuals; and character, the distinction that sets an individual apart from others, are the defining criteria of members. These four pillars have been quite evident in my growth and desires for the future. Throughout my education, I have found that it has been
To me, honor is being rewarded for my hard work in my academics and demonstrating the highest standards of honesty and reliability. Through my two-year position on the Cleveland Heights’ JV Volleyball team, I’ve learned the value of teamwork. In turn, I believe this has led me to become more creative in problem solving and contributing suggestions to continually improve the standards of my surroundings. In addition, I believe my past semester’s grades, which were all A’s, proves that I am capable of demonstrating a focus on achieving academically and diligently pursuing excellence. Thus posing as an example to my fellow students by representing the scholarly aspect of the National Honor Society.
As a sophomore, I am honored to be among the few students that have been granted the opportunity to be involved in the National Honor Society. I have many core values, that I feel qualify me as a leader in regards to my service to others and academic success.

The National Honors Society is a remarkable and sensational opportunity for myself to take. I know that I should be in the Honors Society to better my future in education.

I believe that the Nation Honors Society should take me in and display its various favorable opportunities towards myself because of my growing, thriving traits.
Being inducted into National Honors Society requires a student to demonstrate all of the four qualities many of our role models in the present and in the past have possessed, which include: scholarship, service, leadership and character. As I’m considered a candidate for this group, I already possess the quality of scholarship and it is my duty in this paper to show that I hold the other three important attributes needed to qualify for this institution.
It is an honor to be chosen as a candidate for membership in the National Honor Society. Academics, leadership skills, service abilities, and character are four principal parts of a superior student.

Becoming a member of this organization is important to me, because it will help me get into an excellent college and push me to work harder in school.
