Carlee Drenning, Senior
Leadership is demonstrated in my life as I have the ability to inspire and guide others towards shared values and goals. Whether professionally or personally, I often find myself offering support and mentorship. I show leadership by making informed group decisions, communicating within groups and providing my opinion and support. My dedication to continue self-improvement and my commitment to the betterment of my community further shows my leadership qualities, hoping to make a positive impact on the organizations and people I touch.
Gracie Foster, Senior
I believe within the 4 pillars of the National Honor Society, I demonstrate Character the best. The pillar character means that you are cooperative, demonstrate high standards of honesty and reliability, show courtesy, concern, and respect for others. I demonstrate these qualities because I am honest with others. I am also reliable and responsible. I always have my work done early or on time, and I respect others in my presence.
Regan Henry, Senior
Leadership is demonstrated in my life because I do my best to inspire others toward a shared goal. I display leadership by providing my opinion, offering my support, and making informed group decisions. I do my best to offer support and mentorship when needed. I demonstrate dedication to the betterment of my community and encourage others to make a positive impact on the organizations I am a member of.
Camryn Horne, Senior
Leadership is not just an action but it is a mindset. Throughout my life, I strive to be a strong and trustworthy leader every day in my activities. Whether it is on the athletic field, in the classroom, or in simple daily group tasks, I aim to lead in order to accomplish our goals. Leaders are strong, influential individuals who are role models in which many people look up to them. I make this a part of my daily life to be a leader.
Taylor Small, Senior
Service in my life is often reflected in the selfless actions and choices I have made. I encompass a genuine desire to make a positive impact in others' lives. I have dedicated most of my time towards youth sports in my community by volunteering to help with basketball and softball camps, practices, and even games. As a service-oriented individual, I understand the value of empathy and compassion and hope to continue to spread these traits to others. I have and will continue to extend a helping hand to anyone, in the hopes of leaving a lasting legacy of kindness in my community.
Alexis Doyle, Junior
Scholarship is demonstrated in my life through my commitment to learning. My education is a very important part of my life for I believe it determines if I will succeed or fail. Though scholarship goes beyond academic achievements; it’s about intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. I will continue to demonstrate this characteristic throughout my academic years and following.
Rachel Horton, Junior
Character, “the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual”. Let me tell you a few characteristics about my character. I am dependable, responsible and honest. When given a task you can count on me to complete it and turn it in on time. I take pride in my work and complete it to the best of my ability, I am reliable and respectful to my teachers. I am always on time and stay focused. I am truthful to myself and take responsibility for my actions. I am a genuine and loyal person to my teachers, classmates and especially my family. I believe all these characteristics helped me get accepted into the National Honor Society.
Ginnah Kendall, Junior
I actively engage in various community and school service initiatives. At school, I assist students with special education requirements, contribute to events like fundays and May day by providing food and snacks and overseeing athletic activities. Additionally, I extend my support to the community through involvement in a summer camp focused on fostering a deeper connection with spirituality. On Sundays, I collaborate with my dad in teaching young children about the concept of God.
Emma Skiles, Junior
The pillar I am choosing is Character. When I think about character, I think of a respectful, responsible and caring person. A person that shows good character, is someone that is honest,willing to forgive, and shows good leadership. I conduct myself in showing good character by being an example in all those ways.
Mykenzie Vinson, Junior
I will be exemplifying the character pillar. Character to me is doing the right thing regardless if one person is watching or if everyone is watching. Knowing that at the end of the day, you´ve chosen to do the better thing and having no guilt in your choice. Character is sticking to or living by morals that better you as a person. Character is respecting others and leading with integrity regardless of whether the situation is good or bad. Always be honest regardless of the circumstances. Overall just being a good person.
Cali Brown, Sophomore
Scholarship: I have always been committed to learning. Even from an early age, I would listen to adults talk and question things I didn’t understand. That trait has stuck with me throughout my life. I take pride in my school work, and strive for the best possible grades that I can. I also do this outside of school as I often research interesting topics on my own–especially those dealing with the medical field and forensics. Learning new things has always interested me, and now I can research things on my own rather than asking others all the time; however, I still enjoy listening to and interacting with those older than me. There is so much to be learned from talking with those older than us, but unfortunately with social media taking over the world, we often forget that. I hope I never do.
Sawyer Hollibaugh, Sophomore
The pillar I'm choosing is leadership. Leaders are people who are resourceful, higher order thinking, and good problem solvers. Leadership should influence the school positively and never negatively. Some ways I have leadership in my life are through sports teams. I was the captain of the varsity baseball team and did my best to make sure everyone was the best that they could be.
Liam McDonald, Sophomore
Character, a peculiar and distinctive quality of a thing, person, or class. Everybody has their own traits, whether it be physical or psychological. I have worked on my character for years. For example, courtesy at the dinner table or the perfect form at the bench press. Good character includes high standards of honesty, courtesy, concern, and respect for others. Character comes in all forms and may not appear as distinct at first. You may choose how others see you and value your character. I have made an effort to show kindness, leadership, honesty, and utmost respect for my fellow peers and adults.
Dalyssa Ramsey, Sophomore
Character, it makes every individual who there are; It creates magnificent diversity for our society. The most valuable qualities of character in my opinion are honesty, integrity, respect, and passion. The pillar of character affects my everyday life in my decision making. When making a decision, I consider if it maintains my character in a positive manner. I believe that myself, as well as those around me should invariably uphold the principles of morality and ethics. As every individual has their own beliefs as to what makes a “good character”, I believe we should all uphold ourselves to certain values, including respect, honesty, integrity, and courtesy.
Madison Schenck, Sophomore
Scholarship is one of the pillars that is most demonstrated in my life. Scholarship not only means doing well in academics, but also applying what I have learned and using it everyday. I know the importance of education and feel that I am a lifelong learner moving forward. While I put hours of effort into so many little things, it shows how beneficial studying can be. Throughout my years in high-school, I have learned that doing well in school can actually have an impact on my life in many ways. I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a family where education is a top priority. I have always been taught to work hard, do my best, and never give up even whenever things seem impossible.
