National Junior Honor Society I am going to tell you how the National Junior Honors Society’s standards of scholarship, character, service, leadership,and citizenship are essential compounds to developing a principled, reflective, caring, communicator, and thinker. One of the things scholarship is essential for is being a thinker. You need scholarship to be a thinker, because if you want to learn at a high level you have to put effort and thought into what you are doing. That is one way you need scholarship to be a thinker. Service is essential for being caring.…
National Junior Honor Society is a great opportunity for me! I have been dreaming to be in this society ever since the end of fifth grade. I would love to be involved in NJHS and share my suggestions and listen to other people’s ideas. I am very passionate to help those in need. For an example, I have donated many foods, clothing, utensils, and more to Vietnam and to the victims of Hurricane Harvey.…
In 1964, civil right organizations that included the Congress id Racial Equality and Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee organized a voter registration drive. This drive was known at the Mississippi Summer Project, or better known as Freedom Summer. It was aimed toward dramatically increasing voter registration in Mississippi. Freedom Summer consisted of black Mississippians and more that 1000 out-of-state mostly white volunteers, who faced constant abuse and harassment from all of Mississippi’s white population. The Ku Klux Klan, police, and state and local authorities carried out a series of violent attacks.…
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. I love helping the needy and have participated in countless activities. 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.…
Throughout my life I have always tried to be the best person I could possibly become. From having perfect grades to being any sports team MVP. I have grown up with the phrase, “The harder you work, the better you do,” engraved into my head. My dad told me this after school, after sports, and after I finish anything i did. I work hard for my grades and that has ended me here.…

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. Although I do not fear that I have not already earned my spot, I will proceed to justify my case. 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. I always exceed expectations, put in 110% of my effort, and achieve and maintain excellent grades at the same time.…
Ryerson has always been my first choice of school when applying to university, not only because it is regarded as one of the best universities in Ontario, but also because it is situated in the heart of Toronto, amongst a very diverse community. As I was growing up, I would think about what I wanted to do with my life. I knew one thing for sure, I wanted to do something in life that I would be proud of and that I would be passionate about. When I found out about the sports media program at Ryerson, I knew automatically that it was the one for me. Throughout my life sports has always been my passion.…

Liberal arts is the college academic area where students can major in a variety of fields from natural sciences to humanities, yet the first thing that comes to mind is an English major or a music major. Why do people only think of English or music? Liberal arts is more than just English or music; it ranges from psychology, a foreign language to biology. Liberal arts education is becoming descry due to many misconceptions conveyed by the media, economy, and struggling families. Many believe that a liberal arts education is not affordable, harder to get a job, and has no advantages in the workforce; however, Sanford J. Ungar, former president of a liberal arts colleges, argues that a liberal arts education is a very important investment despite…
August 1st through August 5th was the most exciting, influential, and eye-opening week of my life. Through the heat, sweat and panic, Win-Shape Camps still managed to change my life for the better. On day one I woke up dreading going to camp. I dreaded dealing with kids.…
I think I should be in National Junior Honor Society because I have great leadership skills. I love to help out with kids and make sure they are included in everything. It would be a good learning experience leading school activities such as dances and concession stands. I want to join National Junior Honor Society because it sounds like a fun learning opportunity and skills I could use my whole life. These skills I could use in everyday life and forever.…
There’s one day where some of us wake up, and we find our world has changed; however, nothing has changed, the sky is still the same, and the sun is still shining, the same people in our lives are still there, but what has changed is us, the change happened within us. Our world peripeteia out of the blue, and life itself never feels or seems the same anymore. I was one of those peoples. After that day, I wanted a better life than I have right now and also a better future. That change has made me begin to dream, have desire, and suddenly I want to be successful.…
Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…

It’s a saying that goes “age isn’t nothing but a number”, but to some women age affects when they would start their own family.…
