My grades are pretty good, I have mostly A's, and I volunteer a bit, and I have performed in a lot of community activities. However, I am TOO quiet in school, and never participate in class. I'm worried this is going to affect my teacher recommendations. Even with not so good teacher recommendations, will I be able to get in to the NHS? I also don't have any leadership positions for school activities, like president, or captain of a team. will I still be able to get in?

Congratulations on your selection. You will most likely be able to get into NHS based on what you've said in this post. What makes you eligible usually gets you accepted, and the rest is usually just formalities. You also may be surprised by the positive reference you may get, so don't let your fear stop you.
Also, if you think that you're "too quiet" in school, then maybe you should bump up participation, not just for a letter from a teacher, but because you feel you're not participating enough.
Good luck.

Congrats. If you were already selected, then you should be in. Your teacher will be more than glad to give you a good recommendation. Remember, it looks good on him/her too.
It shows that they did a good job.
Since you know what you are missing, then concentrate on adding that to your portfolio. Good luck and congrats again.

Just apply - the worst they can do is tell you "no," and then you're no worse off than you are now.
