A Personal Statement of Being Inducted to The National Honor Society

NHS Personal Statement

I’d be very honored to be inducted to the National Honor Society, and I think I have earned my place. During my years at the high school thus far, I have shown my willingness to work hard in order to achieve my goals. I believe I would be a valuable member to the National Honor Society because I am academically ambitious, volunteer dependable, and I uphold principles of morality.

My academic achievements are the result of my constant hard work to maintain good grades while taking hard honors and AP classes. I make sure to ask questions when I don’t understand a concept, do all my homework and assignments, and prepare for all my tests. I have achieved my academic success by making sure I’m doing more than the bare minimum, which insures that I will be prepared for the upcoming quiz or test. My desire to go above and beyond in order to achieve my academic goals demonstrates my academic initiative.

Throughout my years at the high school, I have sacrificed my personal time to volunteer in the community. I have volunteered for over hundred hours at the Sunrise Senior Living Center. At the center, I helped organize and I ran many activities to engage the senior citizens. While volunteering at the center, I learned about the importance of demonstrating leadership and delegating responsibilities. Additionally, I volunteered to run booths for international education week, help out with locker cleanout, and help spread Unicef’s message.

Apart from working hard in school and volunteering in the community, I also uphold a strong moral principles. Whenever I see someone is struggling with a concept that I have figured out, I help them understand it better. On tests and quizzes, I don’t cheat, and when writing essays, I don’t plagiarize. I make sure to obediently follow the rules, avoid cheating, and I make sure to learn from my mistakes so I don’t make them again. My willingness to learn from my mistakes demonstrates my desire to grow as a person and become better than I was before. Whenever I see someone do something morally ambiguous, I make sure to let them know of the potential consequences that they might face if they are caught. Furthermore, If I see that one of my peers got caught for making a bad choice, I choose to learn from their mistakes.

My skills and abilities are not only useful to me in the school setting, but also in real life, the values I have developed reflect eagerness to take an active role in the community and make it a better place. I believe that it’s my duty as a member of the community to help others by volunteering and setting a good example for the younger generation. My dedication to become a better person can be seen through my hard working nature, willingness to help the community, and my virtuous values, and that is what makes me a great fit to be a member of the National Honor Society.
