Joining NSCS

Improved Essays
Many factors play in to having success during college. From studying to networking, everything has a purpose during the four years of college and every action taken has a purpose. Joining NSCS gave me benefits and opportunities that wouldn’t have been offered to me without them. For starters, NSCS is one of the main contributors to success in college through scholarship and career opportunities. Although this is the easiest benefit given to members, it should not be overlooked or taken for granted. The amount of money and time that leaders of NSCS sacrifice to focus on motivated, bright members, like myself, shows the organization’s morale standards.

That happiness that I bring them can’t be taken away from them and it is because of the NSCS that it is possible.

My mother now has the opportunity to flaunt my success to her peers and show me off, not only does that reflect well on me, but it reflects well on my family and shows that a single mother can raise an intelligent, young man capable of anything he sets his mind to. My limitations are endless and that doesn’t just come from my self-reliance, it comes from the NSCS and their ability as an organization to offer me exclusive opportunities I could have never dreamed about

    Being apart of the National Honor Society would be a great honor for me. Entering high school as a clueless freshman, I had no idea what to expect.

That was my first time on this side of the hemisphere. With little money, zero friends, one close relative and little to hold on to, I found myself leaning on only a thread of asset – my mind. Knowing this, I vowed to keep this God given asset alive and growing with all my soul and might, and what better way to do this than to identify with people of like passion, people who will add to me.…

    Today, June 18th, 2017, marks the last day of my first week of college at Paul Quinn College and I am proud to say, “I survived”. Committing to Paul Quinn was a really big decision for me because this school is a 17 hour drive away from my home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I was afraid that I might get homesick or that I would not have the support of my family because I would be so far away from home. Soon, after visiting the Dallas campus, I realized that Paul Quinn was the school for me. This is the school where I will grow as an individual and I have come to that realization in my first week of college through the many conversations with upperclassmen, faculty, alumni and summer bridge students.…
