a. “Wow, you did very well on this assignment”
b. “You must be smart based on how you did on this assignment”
c. “You must have worked hard on this assignment”
Now tell me why:

    National Honor Society Application Essay For any human to exhibit qualities throughout their lifestyle, one must transcend in certain aspects of their nature. Everyone is born with a different character or personality and not everyone exceeds in all of the same categories, however; I would place myself among the four characteristics of scholarship, leadership, service, and outstanding character as some of the qualities where I excel. I have always been a very studious person, and I take pride in my achievements in the classroom. I was also raised to believe that my best is an A, so when I got my first B it was not something taken lightly. I try to remember that if you put your mind to something, then you can accomplish it, which reminds me of the quote by Mike Farrell, “If you try to do your best there is no failure.”…

    TITLE Working day in and day out to achieve a goal is a tedious process but comes with the glittering reward of accomplishment. There is no greater feeling than giving full potential towards something and being immersed with the feeling of successfully completing a task with full ability. Long-term homework assignments bog down students and cause stress for weeks over time. Finally turning in completed work lifts the stress of a good grade off a student's shoulders. Twelve years of school, five days a week is a tough obstacle to pursue for kids.…

My first thought that cross my mind was this was going to be easy and it was. My last experienced with writing and English was okay because I mainly get a B or a C, but rarely I would get an A.

It was any normal school day, but the school had to take a huge test called the NWEA.…
