National Junior Honor Society: a Journey of Character and Leadership

Introduction

I know I will be a good candidate for the National Honor Society. I am a good candidate because I am very reliable, compassionate, and hard-working. I have never missed a day of work, I always help those in need, and I am goal oriented. In this essay, you will see how my character, leadership, service, and scholarship will contribute to the National Honor Society.

Exemplifying Leadership and Service

I believe I have a positive outlook on my reaction to criticism.

In dance, you are continuously learning by getting corrections. Getting corrected is a way you learn from your mistakes. One way I use perseverance is to strive to meet my goal of going to college. I am also honest and trustworthy. I strive to be that way in all aspects of my life. I exhibit responsibility by completing all assigned school work and taking any extra credit I can get. Another part of my character is my tolerance and compassion. For example, when one student was talking about a different student’s financial situation, instead of causing a scene, I reached out to my teacher and explained what they said and how it made me feel. People do not know what it feels like to be in that situation, but I do. I have been in the same situation as the other student, and I wanted to show that it is not okay to discuss other people in a negative way. When someone in my family is sick or needs help, I always help them first before tending to my needs.

I always properly and efficiently complete my school work promptly. Once I make up my mind, I can not be convinced to change my mind. On top of my schooling, I also do chores at home. I work part-time. I am in two different dance classes. I also am in an after-school dance program called Dance Ensemble. This past fall, I donated blood as well. I donated blood because, without a selfless person donating, my mom would not be here today.

Conclusion

I demonstrate courtesy to students, staff, and visitors by always showing everyone the utmost respect they deserve. In the future, I am going to be a forensic scientist. I plan to attend a community college for my first year. I can take the first-year classes out of the way. So when I go to university, I can take the courses I need to graduate and succeed in my future career. Ever since I was a kid, I have dreamt of being a forensic scientist. Being in the National Honor Society will help me achieve my dream.
