Being nominated for the National Honors Society is an amazing privilege. Over the years in New Dorp High School I have strived to do my best to achieve as much goals as possible. Now that I have been qualified for the NHS, it makes me realize that I’m on the right path and all my hard work is paying off. In my previous years I have tried to maintain an eighty five average, but now I’m making an effort to stay at ninety and above. Not only do I focus on my average but I try to participate in extracurricular activities as well.

|Educ G 203 | |Influential Teacher Paper | |[Michelle May | |17 September 2012] | | | The Teachers that have Impacted My Life As I have gone through the school system, I have met a few teachers who have made an impact on my life. Thanks to their dedication, I have now been inspired to further my education and become a teacher myself. I obviously grew up being in the classroom taught by teachers but since my mom is a speech language pathologist I have also seen school from the teacher’s perspective. For as long as I can remember, I have loved helping her in her classroom. From coloring to lesson plans, I enjoy it all.
I have made many friends including Cadet/Private Sommermeyer and Cadet/Private Tatum. These many friends extend beyond the JROTC classroom and will no doubt be there when I most need them to be. Another thing ROTC is good for is community service hours. My counselor has already given me a community service worksheet to fill out whenever I do something and she says it will help me get into a much better college and will also look good on my Job/college application. JROTC also inspires me to work hard in school and out of school.
I feel really good knowing that when I help others; I may have made a difference that lasts a long time. Scholarship includes having good grades, good work habits and strong work ethic so you can do your best. Focusing on scholarship helps you to succeed in life but it also means having curiosity. It means having to work to figure things out and wanting to learn new things. That’s what separates hard workers who also think from those that just try to get by.
I always wanted it to be the most creative project in our class, so I would volunteer to construct the project. I would take in the ideas of all the members of our group, and I would come up ideas that everyone would agree with. I never came up with an idea and told the others in the group how it was going to be. I believe my experiences tie in with servant leadership because a group needs a leader to encourage all ideas and collaborate them into one. I try to ensure trust within the group and give them confidence that the project will be great.
My high school experience has been full of obstacles, achievements, and remarkable moments I will always remember. I have been involved with cheerleading my whole life and I recently became a member of the National Beta Club my junior year in high school. Both of these organizations gave me experiences to better myself as an individual and a leader figure. I also have achieved the following requirements of the Greater Orangeburg Community foundation scholarship. Becoming a recipient of this award would help me towards my goals set in life and most of all majoring in biology.
Senior year of high school is exciting, challenging and a little overwhelming right now; Completing college applications, attending open houses, contacting baseball coaches, and spending many hours trying to find a college that’s the right fit for me. Decisions must be made that will impact the rest of my life, and making the right choice today will help determine my future. I am from a small town and small high school with a personal touch. I like being known by my teachers as Tom, rather than just being another face in class. It is nice to know that I can go to them with a problem and they always have time to listen.
School has always been my main priority and job. I already feel I have accomplished greatness by working as hard as possible in school. Being at the top of my class and having a 4.0 GPA, amazes me. Knowing that I will graduate this year with outstanding achievements makes my family and I proud. Even though getting to where I am now has been hard and stressful, it will and is worth it.
Some were reliable, some were organized, and some were not. As I got older and started going to high school I started to realize who I really needed to be hanging around with; the reliable and organized friends. I've always believed the saying "you are who you hang out with." My parents played a big part in who I became today also. They were always drilling into my head to be responsible, outgoing, independent, and frugal.
