...I Keaton Wilson want to say that is an honor to be considered for induction into the Chester P. Luick Chapter of National Honor Society. I demonstrate leadership qualities by encouraging people to go out for sports and activities they haven’t tried. I try to motivate others to strive to do their best and never give up. I am reliable because if I say I will be somewhere to do something I will. At work I do what I am told when I am told to do it. I strive to do my best whether it be in sports or in school. When in classes that teachers ask for volunteers, I volunteer. In school activities such as sports when someone is down on themselves I try to motivate them or if they made a mistake in a game that affected the team I tell them you're good, get them on the next play....

...whatever I can to help guide them through it step by step. My grades are my top priority at school because when it comes down to it that is what I will be judged on, not to mention my character. Character is everything. As stated in the dictionary, it is said that character is a “complex of mental and ethical traits“, that those traits, or qualities, are “distinctive to an individual” and that they are “built into an individual’s life.” It is those character qualities, those character traits that determine a person’s response in any given situation. I set goals and put in the time and effort to accomplish them. I believe that NHS does great things overall, and that I can play a part in furthering the impression that is made here. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and commendable characters and I believe that I have both. In conclusion, I hope to be able to use my power to aid in the uplifting of others and prove myself to be a good example and mentor for those who seek help. As I participate in activities where I am the leader, such as a teacher aid, I make sure that I work with my peers and...

...community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit. Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my own experiences and my years in the National Honor Society I have observed and come to support my beliefs of how important Service is. What I have learned about my community is, to give back to those who give or simply just to do something nice for someone else without being told/paid to do.

...I believe that I should be accepted into the National Junior Honor Society. I help contribute ideas to help the school and community. I am always willing to volunteer and provide service for my parents, teachers, or the elderly. Whenever I have free time I study or help my younger brother with his homework and afterschool activities. I am also honest, trustworthy, and a leader. Below are some of the strengths and requirements I have to be in NJHS. Leadership I am very good at help younger students. In choir we are separated into different groups. Without anyone telling me to I take charge of the people in my group. We did different activities so I assigned different parts and we usually win challenges. In band I am one of the older drummers so I have to work with the younger beginner drummers. In band the instructor is usually more focussed on working with the main instruments like the saxophones and the clarinets so percussion is at the bottom. I feel it is my responsibility to help them learn new notes on the bells or different rudiments on the drum....

I have got to be honest, there have been many essays I have had to write where they asked me “Who am I”, but none have made me think as deeply as this one. How do I morally and mentally line up with the world? People have told me that I am reliable, observant, and hard-working, but finding moments where these characteristics were shown were difficult.
