...National Junior Honor Society Application Essay Scholarship I believe that I have demonstrated scholarship throughout the experience that I have had so far at Carmel Middle School. Every quarter last year and this year, I have earned a 4.0 GPA. Doing my best in school is important to me because learning is a huge part in life and it is the beginning of the path to getting good jobs. If you do not learn then you would never grow and expand your mind. Getting good grades is also important to me because it gives me a sense of accomplishment and it is reflects my hard work. Participation and Leadership I take part in many school and community activities. At school I am a member of multiple clubs such as Next Steps Bible Club, CRU Bible Study, choir, track, and I was a member of the seventh grade volleyball team. Some of the other co-curricular activities that I enjoy participating in outside of school are guitar lessons, babysitting and confirmation through my church. One of the things that I am proud of is when I did the annual lemonade stand day. I was interviewed about the entrepreneurial lessons learned that I had learned from doing lemonade stands, and that interview was put in the paper. Also, in Carmel Dad’s Club Basketball I...

I have received the Distinguished Honor Role in 6th grade and am on track to do the same in 7th. I challenge myself by taking French 1, and pursue complex goals in Gifted Education. My committed and efficient work ethics have allowed me to take above-grade accelerated Literature, Writing, and Algebra 1 courses. I have participated in several academic and challenging activities including The Knowledge Bowl, Knowledge Master, VEX Robotics, and Reading Olympics. I also have strived to show examples to and lead others in my community. I tutor a side-class in French 1 which allows me to help students falling behind.

...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....

...As a junior in high school the only things on my mind are keeping my GPA up, getting good scores on my SAT and ACT, and hoping to God that the colleges consider my application adequate for entry.

...As I read and re-read the article inspiration for my essay, I revisited my thesis statement at least 10 times. My mind was a jumbo of APA formatting, Core Curriculum theory, technology, and Biblical Integration; just to name a few of my thoughts. As I considered my audience and the outline that I so easily discarded; I thought about my educational journey and determined that I think of myself as well educated. My story begins in the 4th grade in Buffalo, New York at Public School 74. I guess you could say that this is where I was being mis-educated based on the premise that memorization of a bunch of facts was the fast track to becoming well educated. Little did I know that one phone call would forever change my life. My grandmother who essentially was a smart woman was raising me. There are two reasons I can say that with confidence. The 1st reason I considered her a smart woman was because family history tells me that she was born in 1927, a child of a black father who was a numbers runner and a mother who as far as I can tell by the stories was a stay at home mother of Caucasian and Native American descent. Her brother, Uncle Jerry taught her how to read at the age of three using the comics from the local newspaper. She embraced learning and was enrolled in school at five, set to graduate at the age of 18. She was intelligent for a young black girl going to a predominately-white elementary school in the 30’s. She skipped two grades and graduated high school at the tender...

...These pages were downloaded from Writing Personal Statements Online, available at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/writingpersonalstatementsonline/ Short Personal Statement by a Geology Student Growing up in Canada with a life-long fascination for Canadian geography, I have always been interested in returning to the country. Although my family moved to the US before I entered high school, I have always kept my eyes turned north, especially in recent years as I began to read journal articles about research conducted on John Evans Glacier, located about 80° N latitude. Graduating next semester with a B.S. in computer science and engineering and a minor in geographic information systems, I am interested in attending the University of Alberta for graduate study. Geographic information systems (GIS) is a field especially suited to investigating spatial patterns, modeling diverse scenarios, and overlaying spatial data. This semester, in my advanced GIS course, Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms, I am part of a team developing a temporal database and program for tracing historical trading data. My computer science skills have also been put to use in two summer internship projects, where I acquired proficiency with using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, now favored by NASA in its current 10-year study of Greenland and changes in the ice cap extent. Through my coursework and project experience, I have also accrued skills...

...2. Buddhist Socio-Political Philosophy 2.1. Meaning of Political Philosophy Political philosophy is the study of a person?s political and ideological formulations; it deals with the state, the government and the sovereignty or the ruler. In a given society, the state and the government need to regulate the power relations among people. It is the conceptualization of such relations that is central to political philosophy. In a given society, a distinct institution may structure these power relations between people. For example, in India caste is a key instrument in the structuralization of power relations, engendered to establish hegemonic and subordinate relations among people.[footnoteRef:2] [2: Kancha Ilaiah, God as Political Philosopher,...
