The Caesar Rodney School district contains opportunities for all students of different backgrounds. When entering their school for the first time, one instantly knows that the school is their new home away from home. From the moment I entered the district in 7th grade, I understood that the school was behind me every step of the way. As a result, I have become not only more educated, but a more connected person to my teachers, my peers, and my activities. The National Honor Society offers me an opportunity to provide for my school what the school provided for me. Each of the four pillars in NHS, Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, have influenced the decisions I make and the new choices ahead of me. I believe myself to be a person …show more content…
These men and women led the way to do what they have done, whether showing their leadership in the business world, the political landscape, or the high school classroom. I know that I have been a leader for my peers, just as they have been for me. When preparing for a presentation for the Delaware State Student Council, I found a quote by Tom Peters, a writer on business management principles, which really resonated with me. “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders”. I have, since then, done what the quote says, and have built leaders in my peers and my friends. Leadership will continue to be a focal point of my character as a member of the Caesar Rodney National Honor Society, to better not just the people around me, but myself as …show more content…
The ability to serve without requesting or expecting any reward or payment requires a type of character that exemplifies the meaning of being a member of the National Honor Society. When many think of volunteering, their initial idea is of people helping their local community, by cleaning up public roads or helping fundraiser for a worthy cause. I myself volunteered for a time at the Dover Public Library. However, service does not limit one to helping the community. I have created a YouTube channel, specifically designed to help educate for free those who cannot afford the books and private classes that some may need for academic improvement. APFORTEENS is, on the surface, targeted at those who take Advanced Placement Exams. However, the content can be useful for everyone who wishes to learn about many things, whether history, economics, or the sciences. My hope is that I can continue to provide educational content for the viewers and expand on the topics that I have taught so far, and provide for my local and national community as a member of the National Honor

I have always found being inducted into National Honor Society (NHS) as great privilege. NHS requires certain qualities to be withheld by the members, and the organization is based on four core elements: character, scholarship, leadership, and service. In order to be inducted, an individual must demonstrate each of these attributes and must continue to exhibit these qualities after induction. This organization has kept me involved with my school and community and has also made me a better person.
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
I believe that I would be a good representative for the National Junior Honor Society because I represent the five qualities of a member of the organization: scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character.

I have amazing citizenship skills such as following rules and laws in not only the classroom but in my community, teaching
Interwoven into my life, effectively making myself who I am today, are a series of uncountable elements and details, among which, and perhaps most importantly, include the four pillars of the National Honor Society: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Each of these characteristics of a member of the NHS are ones that I proudly exhibit each day of my life and hope to continue to uphold for as long as I may live. Scholarship, the commitment to learning that one shows at school and in life, is one that can only be achieved by spending the necessary time in the expedition for knowledge and understanding in the world, which only can be attained by commitment, dedication, and exertion in the completion of work that is always to the best of one’s ability. I believe that I demonstrate the attribute of scholarship most fully in my daily life at school, for I always put forth my best work and spend the best amount of time in research and labor, regardless of whether my work will be graded or not.

National Honors Society has demonstrated how impactful it is to help out at school and in the community. While doing my community service in various events throughout my junior and senior year, I’ve become aware that National Honors Society has impacted me and the community. I recognized that volunteers positively influence the community. During events volunteers play a major role in community events. Without the help of volunteers many events wouldn’t be possible. I’ve volunteered in events from NHS and also other events in my community, learning that it feels great being part of many events and into making them a good experience for the people involved. National Honors Society has impacted me into knowing the major difference that volunteers

I am deeply honored to be one of the students who are being considered for the Math and Science Academy chapter of the National Honor Society. Being a part of NHS has been something that I have been looking forward to ever since I got into high school. I know a few people who were or are in this society, and they are always telling me how rewarding it is to be a part of such a remarkable organization. Currently, as a sophomore, I feel that the past year of high school has enormously shaped my character; improved my leadership skills; challenged me academically; and
National Honor Society and National Technical Honor Society alike have provided the best opportunities for personal growth for a few reasons. As members, we sacrifice our time for the betterment of others. It is rewarding to help those in need without seeking credit. National Honor Society allowed me to reach out to those very close and dear to me in the community, while National Technical Honor Society helped me reach out to communities outside of Dansville, that I would have never had the opportunity to help otherwise. Both chapters were very influential in developing maturity, accountability, and selflessness. Additionally, being the Treasurer of National Honor Society has given me the opportunity to take on a leadership role. Stepping
National Junior Honor Society will be a great opportunity for me. If I am accepted into NJHS I plan on keeping up my 4.0 average, balancing between school and outside of school activities, continuing to help my community/peers, and creating a specific idea to make a positive impact at the school. The next 3 paragraphs I will be stating why I will be a great member of NJHS, why it's good to help people, and something I could do to positively impact my school.
Being in National Honors Society is something that I have always wanted to be apart of since I was in primary school. Being in it my 8th grade year was very inspiring on helping me build my citizenship goals, which later helped me get a job and be a good role model to others. 8th grade year being in NHS we had many important task to fulfill. Setting up majority of the school dances and rewarding students for their positive outlooks along with their uplifting attitudes. Leaving middle school, becoming a freshman, I knew I wanted to be a lifelong member with NHS. Knowing I had to work hard during my years in high school to get accepted back into NHS my junior year was a high school goal. When I received the letter stating I would be representing
Everyday, countless amounts of people are working hard, trying to change the world for the better. They are researching cures for cancer or taking twelve hour shifts to help keep oceans clean. There are people who are working towards a better world, and making life safe for the children in need, the animals in danger, and the men fighting for our country. Seeing these changes happen has motivated me to want to be a part of these developments. I wish to serve those around me, and believe that if I can have a positive impact on my community, it can affect the rest of the world. Therefore, I have made it my goal to be a part of the National Honor Society, in hopes that I can help my school, Middleville, and all who have impacted me. I believe that I represent the characteristics of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, and hope to use these qualities so that others may benefit.
