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.…
My family moved to Meridian, MS from California when I was around six or seven years old. Since then, all the way up to the ninth grade, my mother took my sister and me to Saint James A.M.E. Church for Sunday services. One Sunday, a cousin of mine brought me along to the service of her new church, and ever since then I have been attending New Freedom Tabernacle. I have found that NFT has certain qualities about it that have always attracted my attention in ways that St. James could not; so, I became an official member of NFT within a few months of the switch. St. James and NFT are two very separate, distinct churches in a multitude of ways, yet they also carry certain traits that make them very similar.…

Columnist, short story author, and poet Ambrose Bierce is remembered for his veracity and his acrimonious prose style. Bierce has evidently won the superlative for causing the most havoc when it came to his writing. The bad-tempered bravado of his gazette writing and his former appalling naturalistic war fiction led to him obtaining the appellations “Bitter Bierce” and “The Devil’s Topographer.” Antagonistic derision seemed to flow through Bierce’s writing, from his raging literary smites in his weekly editorials for the San Francisco Chronicle to his cynical veracious connotations in The Devil’s Dictionary, the cringing barbarity in his Civil War stories, his ghost stories, and science fiction parables. Although Bierce wrote impeccable American prose, his bluntness passed off as cynicism did not sit well with the American people.…
