National Honor Society Reflection Paper

Decent Essays
My local chapter of National Honor Society is full of creative and generous individuals. This past school year I have organized and led many beneficial service projects. However, I taken the most away from the club’s new peer tutoring programs. The programs began with little support as few students and teachers wished to participate. Despite the initial slow start, I encouraged the club’s members to jump in and contribute. As the tutoring sessions began to gain traction, I noticed comradery between differing groups, students beginning to take more initiative in class, higher grades, and an overall improvement in the school-wide community. While tutoring some peers, I began to sense a collective feeling of frustration. They were not completely

    To be given the opportunity to apply for the National Honors Society fills me with delight. When students are nominated they are chosen by their excellence in scholarship, leadership, character, and service with their community and knowing i meet the requirements I would gladly like to become a member of the national honors society. The National Honors Society will give me the chance to be acknowledged other than just my honor roll excellence but my excellence overall. During my younger stage of life always had the ambition to succeed starting off by always being ahead of my classmates, getting my work done before everyone else, and also helping students who didn't understand the material.…

    Practically, to insert data into the tables (Customer, Inventory, Orders, and Vendor) from the database created and named COSC420_project1 (as shown on the very first screenshot at the beginning), I have proceeded by inserting data first into the table CUSTOMER, and immediately I did the VENDOR one after. Thirdly, I filled out the INVENTORY table, and lastly I ended up with the ORDERS table. The purpose of doing this was in respect to the References I had to follow, along with the primary and foreign key rules. In addition, I was forced to proceed to some adjustments (attribute types) such as replacing number by integer type or number (a, b) by decimal (a, b). Another adjustment made was changing DATE type by VARCHAR type to accommodate with…

    The bible verse of Genesis 2:15 made me reflect on my role as part of God’s creation, which is stewardship. God created man in order to work under his direction, while caring for his creation. It is part of God’s design to work under his supervision; therefore, all my nursing work should be guided by God. This scripture made me feel……

    EDUC 632 is related to Liberty’s Mission and Conceptual Framework because it teaches its teachers (or soon to be teachers) the SCRIP. First, to be successful teachers, one needs to have social responsibility. This is demonstrated by us coming to class every weekend that is required. The same can be said for the commitment along with being committed to the program. If we were not serious about this, we would not be here.…

    After my two full years at Roscommon High School, I am very grateful to have reached the standard for National Honor Society membership. This is an opportunity that not everyone has the privilege to be a part of during their high school career. I would like to display the ways in which I have demonstrated the required assets to be a part of this organization. Not only do I possess the qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service, but through N.H.S., I am certain that I will grow tremendously in each of these areas. The first quality I have demonstrated throughout my life, but more specifically, my high school career, is character.…

    As a student at Olivet College many people hear about what is often known as the world class insurance program, how great the faculty is, and how great the job placement in the insurance industry is. These are just words to several people who do not truly understand the Olivet College difference. My experience at Olivet College has prepared me for a career in the insurance industry in various different ways. Whether it was from assisting me in my decision to become an insurance major, pushing me to just get the license no matter what, or even just the support system I found down each hall way of Mott academic center. Olivet College has helped prepare me on my journey to enter the insurance field.…

    This year you will be taking the first Capstone class, Seminar. During the course, you will complete a team project, an individual paper and presentation, and take a final AP exam. The best advice I can give you for getting through all of this is to never procrastinate because all the due dates will sneak up on you, so even if you are confident you can finish the projects in one week it is best to fully use all the time you have to guarantee a passing score. Also, throughout the year Mrs. Reyes will give you various tools (cheat sheets) to help you for your papers and AP test; these are extremely important and I highly recommend you read through all of them carefully to the point where you can basically recite it in your…

    English 106 was the first real college class that I ever stepped foot in, and because of that, I was extremely nervous and unsure. The English teachers at my high school always said that the papers they assigned were held to college standards, and I always did well on those assignments, but I was still unsure about this course. I expected this course to be loaded with reading and writing assignments that would make me pull all-nighters on a regular basis. After going through English 106, I realized that there were not too many assignments and that I learned a lot from each one. To me, the most salient parts of this course were the discourse community paper, the annotated bibliography, the art analysis, peer reviews, revisions, and reflections.…

Pointing to numbered objects in the text while reading about numbers, asking and answering questions, and making sure they gained an understanding of the vocabulary terminology in having them repeat the definition.…

Working in a group has thought me on how to communicate with difficult people especially when everyone has their own opinion. Even though the workload was intense under a short time frame it was rewarding, challenging, and manageable. I learned that I could complete an assignment under pressure and in a short time frame.…
