Jesse Owens once said, “[w]e all have dreams. But in order to make that dream a reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” The dreams that I have for my life aren’t going happen overnight, they are going to take time, determination, self-discipline, and effort. Along with taking time and effort, I’m going to take my personal qualities and put them to work. I believe I’m a good applicant for this scholarship because I have good work ethic, good relationships with people, but I also have good characteristics including being goal oriented. I am involved in many things now that are going to help me in the future, but I also have good work ethic that is going to help lead me in the right direction. …show more content…
Life gets hard, and I am going to have to push through. Being on National Honor Society is an accomplishment; I have maintained an A average for 16 consecutive quarters of high school. I am always sure to have my assignments done on time, and I do the best of my ability to use my resources, ask questions, and correct my mistakes if needed. Applying myself to my schooling is important because if I don’t apply myself now, college isn’t going to be …show more content…
I am not a person who likes to sit around and do nothing or just let everything be complete chaos; I like to take charge and have things organized, and set goals. I don’t like to be demanding of people, but I like things to flow smoothly. Organization to me is very important, without it how are you supposed to know when your bills are due, when assignments need to be turned in, or in something that I am going to face in my next few years of my life, when my classes are. Goals are important, and my teachers have even pointed out to me that I set a lot of goals. I set goals from my work, to education, to my running. I have goals from running marathons to where I want to go with my college education and my career. I have had a goal since my freshman year of high school to run a half marathon before I graduate and that is what I am going to accomplish May 21st at 9
The National Honor Society (NHS) is a notoriously prestigious organization, and it is possibly one of the greatest honors a student can earn in their high school career. Becoming a member of the NHS can open many doors for students, including leadership experience and opportunities for college scholarships. Admission for this program is based on certain ideals. The criteria for admission-scholarship, service, character, and leadership-are four areas in which, at least I believe, I excel. Even when I was a young child, I was very concerned with school.
I have been an active member in multiple school extracurricular activities. Mu Alpha Theta is one of the clubs I part take in, and I have been a member for three years. In Mu Alpha Theta, I participate in inter-school test, practice math problems and attend math competition. Another club I participate in is National Honor Society. I have been a member in National Honor Society for eleventh and twelfth grade.
While education can open doors to your life, having the initiative to be successful is what really counts. I am determined and I have the desire to study Business but am lacking the financial support needed to achieve my goal. The Plant City Lions Club Scholarship would help me by giving me an opportunity to pursue my dream career. My desire is to be able to study in order to work and give back to my parents who have helped me accomplish graduating from Plant City High School with honors and with a weighted GPA of 4.7321.Receiving financial support will allow me to make a difference in the challenging world of Business. My parents have always supported me in everything, but unfortunately they cannot afford my college tuition.
As a candidate for membership in the National Honor Society, I believe that I possess the qualities needed to be inducted. I am interested in joining the organization because I am confident in my leadership qualities and want to help the community. I have achieved the Honor Roll every quarter since it was available in Elementary. In 6th grade, I earned the Westchester County Clerk’s Distinguished Student Award from Timothy C. Idoni. plus, on my last year at A.B. Davis Middle School, I have merited the Triple C award from the Westchester Attorney General.
“Yes, I have to be apart of this.” was my immediate thought when I opened the letter. I did a lot of research and asked a few people about what I would need to take part in this group. “The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation 's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.”
I greatly appreciate my nomination to be considered for induction into the National Honors Society. I would be honored to join such an organization as it would not only provide opportunities for myself, but also encourages and emphasizes the importance of service to community. Before and during high school, I have been active in serving the community in a consistent way. Other activities I do also influence and shape the way in which I approach service and leadership tasks.
This is what the National Honor Society hopes for in a member. I know i’m not perfect and can make mistakes at times, but acknowledging that takes a lot of character. My academic achievements are a result of my determination and drive to ensure that i’ll be able to achieve success in the future as well as serve as role model to the younger siblings and cousins in my family. Getting good grades is a priority to me. Having a XX GPA and being a Distinguished Varsity Scholar for the past 3 years didn 't happen by luck, it happened because of the sheer dedication I have towards my school and
(Audrey Hepburn) My current goals are to finish high school and to go to college. My 5 year goal is to graduate college and find a job that I like. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” (Confucius)
During my high school career I have made a consistent effort to stay involved in both my school and community. Through clubs such as Key Club, National Art Honor Society, and National Honor Society I’ve been able to help out locally and globally in an abundance of ways. In Key club and NHS I am able to volunteer in traditional ways, but National Arts Honors Society allows me to contribute to my community and school in a creative way that stimulates people 's minds through art. Due to these activities having a significant impact on my life my future career options are based around what I have learned from them.
I am an active member in a wide variety of activities. I am very involved in 4-H and FFA. Through these clubs, I have participated in many community service projects. I work hard in the classroom and I’m very goal driven. I have a 3.14 GPA, and I strive to do better each and every day.
The last goal I have is to be more involved in helping or taking on more leadership roles since I like helping everyone or leading certain people. I hope to demonstrate and further develop my leadership
Moving on I want to talk about my personal goals and unit goals. My Long term personal goal is to graduate from the U.S Naval Academy and become an officer in the Marine Corps. My short-term goal is to improve my grades to all A's. My all-time unit goal is to take the drill team to nationals. With the help of some cadets.
My outside of school activities have a few goals as well. For Boy Scouts, I would like to become an Eagle Scout. I am super close, I just need to finish a small amount of paperwork and attend a few meetings. For ultimate, I have a few. I would like to finish the season with no major or minor incidents.
To the scholarship committee, I think that I am a good candidate for the scholarship "Anita and Tim Link Faith & reason scholarship" because my personality fits the scholarship well. "Possessing the qualities of high academic achievement" is one of the objectives for earning the scholarship. That is one of my strengths, I have gotten a twenty-two on the ACT in seventh grade. I also have the ninety-ninth percent on MAPs tests repeatedly. I have done more than simply academic excellence.
When I graduate high school, I plan on having future goals that I plan on achieving. My first goal is to go to college and get a degree. I plan on attending Purdue NorthWest majoring in engineering and minoring in business. This is my number one future goal that I need to accomplish because to be able to have a nice life, I need to go to college to support my future family. My next future goal would be get a starting job to be able to support my future family.
