NHS Leadership: I am a member of Boy Scout Troop 66 and I was librarian for two years and I am currently the troop guide. As the troop guide my responsibility is to help the new and younger scouts get used to the troop because it is different from Cub Scouts.

Service: For the past 5 years I have been volunteering at the yearly Robin Cone Memorial Classic Gymnastics Meet. I have been a time keeper for some of the different events because the gymnastics only have a certain amount of time to warm up and also some of the events have a time limit. I have also helped unwrap and prepare the medals and awards for the gymnasts as well as helped in the hospitality area which contains food and snacks for the coaches, judges, and volunteers. I helped restock the drinks and ice as well as the snacks. The Robin Cone Gymnastics Meet is in honor of Robin Cone, a guidance counselor at JP Steven who died of breast cancer and also to raise money and awareness for breast cancer treatment and research. Over the past 5 years I have given about 46 hours of my time to this cause. As a member of Boy Scout Troop 66 I have participated in numerous hours of service.

I am deeply honored to be recognized as an eligible candidate for the National Honors Society. After learning about the National Honor Society, and what the organization represented, I knew it was something I wanted to participate in.

Leadership is all about having the right amount of heart and determination to help make a difference in someone’s life. It takes certain qualities to be considered a good leader. A leader should want to help inspire others to make a change and to be the best that they can be. A true leader does not need to feel powerful, instead they empower those around them.

Before that, I did three six month terms as Troop Guide, a position in which I acclimated first year scouts to the troop, teaching them the ways of scouting.
