...The four pillars of the National Honor Society have been a set standard of principles I have consistently followed throughout my academic career. Through persistent dedication in the fields of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, I have been able to maintain exceptional grades and superior rankings in academics and music while still being a part of multiple activities in my school community. Being able to balance these four principles have allowed me to succeed and surpass expectations set by myself and my school. Scholarship is characterized by severe commitment to learning and ambition. I focus on this by taking the most rigorous courses available to me at my school. Since freshman year, I have only taken honors or advanced placement academic courses. Moreover, to ensure I surpass expectations, I make studying a part of my routine to maintain the 4.0 grade point average I have. In addition to the four main subjects in school, I have studied guitar in a separate school and at my high school for over three years. My dedication to music and countless hours of practice have landed me a spot in the Bayonne High School honors guitar trio. Throughout my entire academic and music carrer, my...
