As the eldest sibling, I had no choice but to become a leader. At first, bearing total responsibility seemed to be an enormous undertaking at such a young age. Oftentimes, I wished for an older sibling to take my place and carry that burden instead. However, that responsibility honored me with values and skills I wasn't able to recognize until years later. Still a child myself, at eleven years old, I was babysitting babies less than one year old. Changing diapers, administering medicine, and preparing food came naturally to me, as I had been helping and leading others all of my life. Having responsibility no longer felt like a burden, but a gift. Leading others is now what comes most naturally to me, and I wouldn't have it any other way. …show more content…
Combining certain passions with the power granted to me, I chose to make the most out of my leadership position. I organized both the Recycling Committee and the St. Baldrick's fundraiser. In the Recycling Committee, I created a script, filmed, and edited a video emphasizing the importance of recycling. That video was then circulated throughout the school and was a success-- it prompted my peers to correctly recycle materials. Similarly, I ran the social media and advertising campaigns for the St. Baldrick's Fundraiser, raising awareness for childhood cancer. I not only want to achieve leadership positions, such as my National Honors Society position, but I want to exercise them to positively influence the community around …show more content…
Becoming a doctor would not only allow me to educate others, but would allow me to endlessly improve my medicinal knowledge and education. There are many moments in my life which have motivated me to pursue a medical career and help others, but the memory I consider most influential is when I volunteered with Shepherd's Table Soup Kitchen in Raleigh. My goal was to make as many people smile as I could. However, there was one man in line that made me smile instead. He was crippled and defeated by poverty; he was laid off from his job, which, consequently, prohibited him from attending college. He shut down and let poverty win. He said it was the biggest mistake of his life. Choked up with emotion and pain from the past, he then gave me advice, "If you can see your dream now, grab it. Whatever you do, don't let it go." Serving others, like the man in the soup kitchen, has bestowed upon me the motivation to lead and inspire others, just as he inspired
Throughout my high school career, I have been involved in various clubs and organizations to help me become a leader in my community. At Auburn High School I took on the role of being a Publicist officer for National Technical Honors Society the first two consecutive years that it became a part of our school. I gained a lot of leadership experience through this club. Implementing a new organization is never easy and takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the leaders of the club. By being a part of a very helpful, dedicated and motivated team, we helped affiliate all the eligible members into the club and in turn helped introduce this new club to the school. As publicist my role in helping the club grow was crucial; I helped in publicizing the clubs various projects and involvement.
The National Junior Honor Society is an important and prestigious organization that is dedicated to helping students achieve their goals, helping people, and serving the community. Being part of the NJHS is a great opportunity for me to demonstrate my determination and desire to helping people around me. I believe, that I can become a worthy member of the National Junior Honor Society because I am committed, productive, friendly, and most importantly reliable. I meet all the qualities require by this organization, such as academic achievement,leadership, character, and service.
On top of this, my parents always specifically looked up to me for being a leader in the house. The reason for this is, my parents knew very little English, and needed assistance with almost everything they would do. Also, I am the first child; the child that has to fall and learn from the mistakes without any older siblings advice or wisdom. Because of this, I make sure that once I learn the most efficient and effective ways of doing tasks, I then pass it down to my younger siblings. I make sure that they learn from my mistakes and accomplishments, while doing my best to lead them in the right direction to attain

I’ve always had an interest in becoming a Doctor. Even as a young child. Unfortunately, I lost my grandpa January 23, 2016 to a Lung Disease. He and I had a great relationship. He inspired me to be the best that I can be. Through his battle with Lung disease, I saw how the Doctors cared for him in a special way. My father suffered from a stroke that nearly changed his life. Watching him progress and get treated from amazing Doctors opened my eyes. That’s when I realized becoming a Doctor would allow me to care for people the same way my loved ones were cared

It is my responsibility to make the right decisions and demonstrate how to take appropriate action when necessary. I also enjoy being someone my little brother can come to when he needs advice and I value his reliance in me. After school, I help him do his homework and provide encouragement to persist in meeting his goals. By paving footsteps for my little brother to follow, I display my ability to be an admirable
I believe that the National Honor Society should play a sizable role in the school community. The National Honor Society does an outstanding job commemorating students not just for academics, but also for leadership, characteristics, and service. Almost all other awards given at schools deal strictly with congratulating students for excellent academics, whereas top students of the National Honor Society excel in all of the criteria.
Discussion: Mr. Payne said the technology millage allows us to leverage purchases such as these by having the infrastructure in place to support additional mobile devices. On any given day, we average 6,000-8,000 devices on our network; so without the proper infrastructure, we might have to turn down additional purchases that are funded via other sources. Mrs. Everly thanked Mr. Payne and his team in technology. There is an outstanding partnership between the curriculum and the technology departments.
Sheri L. Dew states that “True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.” Leadership, service, and character is and always will be very important to me which is why I believe I qualify and would be a beneficial member to the Valley Heights High School National Honors Society.
Analyzing the list of ID numbers, I was absolutely ecstatic when mine popped up. I turned to my best friend, who had a smile as wide as mine, “We’re in!” we yelled, high-fiving and cheering our way down the hall. Being a part of the National Honor Society does not seem like a huge accomplishment to other people, however to me it was the absolute best feeling in the world. Growing up, I witnessed my older brother throw away most of his academic ability. He did not bother to study for his classes, he never once picked up a book, and he never even applied to be a part of this distinguished society despite my mom urging him to do so. Seeing this, I have strived to be the polar opposite of the average high school student the way my brother was. My grades have reflected exactly how hard I have worked, and I have constantly pushed myself to work harder because I would never want to jeopardize my spot in this program. Taking the leap and applying to National Honor Society and being inducted only gave me more confidence in myself and has shaped me to be a more organized student.
One service project I am conducting was inspired by an issue that affects my family, as well as the family's of others students who attend my school, a virtual public school. Because of restrictions, student enrollment was denied to prior homeschooled and private school students. Seeing how my own brother was denied this opportunity, I decided to take action and rally for a solution this problem. Through research, I discovered B-894, a bill holding the potential to remove enrollment restrictions from our school.
I knew that I wanted to be a physician after my first summer of volunteering in the NICU and emergency room. I realized that I want to help people, which is why I continued to volunteer throughout various organization. I want to provide help for ill patients as well as those in good
Growing up as the oldest of twelve younger siblings, I was always the role model and the first one to do everything. I was the first one to go to Arizona State University, first to learn how to drive, first to succeed, and first to fail. Knowing the role I was born into at a young age, I knew I had to set the standards for my younger siblings to go by because I wanted them to have a better life than the one they have now and at the same time I wanted to be the person everybody can learn and seek advice from. Everything I did in life I tried to do it to the best of my abilities, even if I wasn’t good at it, I still went forward. For example, I wasn’t good at Brief Calculus initially and had to withdraw from the course, but the second time
