...What I am Not... I am not the top of my class, I am not the star of the varsity soccer team and I am not the most popular student at Turpin High School. This does not mean that I am not an excellent candidate for National Honor Society. Without being all the things that I previously mentioned, I firmly believe that I possess great attributes that allow me to be a leader, a scholar, and a honorable student. I have perseverance. During Varsity soccer tryouts this past year my self confidence was tested. Unfortunately, I found it was a struggle to make the Varsity team. I thought about quitting because I did not like the uncertainty and the feelings of insecurity that arose because of the situation. Sometimes people feel it is easier to quit than to push forward but I “pushed on”. In the end, I did make the Varsity team. I did not take the easy way out when soccer became...

...Hi, I am Sophia Johnson and I am glad that I got the opportunity to apply to be in the National Junior Honor Society program. I have a big heart for helping others and I hope I can be in this program to help even more in my next year as an eighth grader. I am going to share with you a few traits of mine that makes me special. One of the reasons why I would be a good member in this group, is because I’m a very happy and positive person. In every situation I try to look at the positives versus the negatives.

For example, whenever anyone of my family or friends is having a rough day, I like to step in and tell them to look on the bright side. As well as being a positive person, I am also a very kind person. You...

With the other brief job, I was a tour guide for the CUNY-wide College Explorers program, which gives tours to middle school students, with the intent of having them go to college. I volunteer for South Bronx United, where I serve as a youth tutor to high school students. I was also offered an opportunity to work as a tutor for the math department at BCC, seeing how well I did on the placement exam and both my Calculus courses, I declined the offer because of all the tasks I was doing. Lastly, I was offered an opportunity by general chemistry II professor to do research with him. The research is on “the Determination of chemical composition in rainwater and snow in different locations at Bronx Community College of City University of New York (BCC).” In the end, I decided not to do the research as I was trying to make going to classes, working and volunteering along studying and doing homework all happen.
