...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....

...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.

...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.

...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.

...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.
