National Junior Honor Society is a great opportunity for me, and is an organization that I really hope to be in. I love doing service not because I am forced to, but I get to be with my friends and is also a way for me to give back to the community.

For example, I was a part of a group that put together care kits for the homeless, picked up trash at a park, and created blankets for the needy. Being in NJHS will give me a chance to find even more ways to do more service and become a leader.…
It has come to my knowledge that there is a limited amount of spots in the ENG 102 class for next semester. I am one of the best candidates to continue into ENG 102 and thrive in Ms. Laduca’s learning environment.

I have been an adroit student of Ms. LaDuca’s for the last year and a half; she knows exactly what kind of student I am. Since seventh grade, I have been an ebullient honors student in the top ten percent of the 2016 cohort and have not received any grades lower than an A.

The skin is the largest organ in the body and plays an important role as a physical barrier to the environment. The structure of the skin allows for the inward and outward passage of water, electrolytes, and other substances while still protecting the body against environmental exposure. The skin also prevents loss of moisture, acts as a sensory organ, helps regulate body temperature, and synthesizes vitamin D3. It consists of three main layers as seen in figure 1 below: epidermis, dermis, and subcutis. The skin surface is constantly changing as the cells in the outer layers are shed and replaced by inner cells moving upwards toward surface [1].…
