WRITE A BRIEF ESSAY BELOW EXPLAINING WHY YOU ARE SEEKING MEMBERSHIP IN THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY. DISCUSS THE PERSONAL QUALITIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS YOU WOULD BRING AS A MEMBER.  DO NOT EXCEED THIS SPACE.

            With every goal that I set for myself, I often find myself striving to reach each at an accelerated level. Whether it concerns my grades or position on a sports team, I am constantly looking to improve. This goal-oriented attitude is one that I know will increase exponentially as I mature, and I can only hope to share it with as many people as I can, including the National Honors Society.

Along with my goal striving attitude, my outgoing personality has also always been a strong characteristic attribute, one of which I am extremely proud of. It aids me in being a good cooperator, and an even stronger leader. I hope to use it well with my upcoming college applications, which includes another life goal of mine: college. Every aspect of my life, at the moment, is revolving around working towards my ultimate goal of becoming a college graduate. I am fully aware that the National Honors Society would look impressive towards schools in which I hope to be accepted.

Moreover, I have an honest love for helping people. Any chance I get, I love to interact, debate, and share my opinions. I thrive off of discussion. The National Honor Society can find an honest, reliable contributor in me.
