I strongly believe that I have fulfilled my duties as an adolescent, a leader, a scholar and a volunteer, to be accepted into national honor society. This has been something I've strived for since the beginning of my high school career. This organization helps better the community and all students involved, and hope to be able to set an example for other students like the current National Honor Society members have for me. I've worked very hard to get myself where I am, academically, today. I've carried a minimum grade point average of 92 or higher these past few years. My grades are my top priority. After all colleges looked at your grades the most.

The last four years I've been an active member in International Foreign Language Club, and the last two years I've proudly been an officer for the club. This year I've helped the club come up with new international holidays to celebrate, a new holiday we will be celebrating this year is a Guatemalan holiday called, "Quema del Diablo", meaning the burning of the devil.

I have shown loyalty by recently standing up to student who was saying rude things about a different student behind her back at lunch. I do not tolerate bullying and I wasn’t going to listen to the student talk bad about another student to her friends. Being respectful means that I have tolerance and acceptance of others. I do not judge others. I've learned to accept that everyone is unique in their own way and there is nothing that can be done to change that. Having self-control, and a pursuit to excellence are ways to show responsibility. Having the amazing quality of self-control lets me be the leader of my own life, allows me to set goals for myself, and keep a positive outlook on life. One goal I have set for myself is to achieve and maintain a college grade point average of 3.5 or higher. The pursuit of excellence starts with knowing that failure can and will happen. Learning from that failure is part of being successful. In order to achieve excellence you have to set realistic goals and work hard to achieve them without giving up.
