Since about ninth grade, there was one thing that my best friend Sarah and I wanted from high school: to be in National Honor Society. Even in our freshman year, we knew what an honor it would be to be part of such an elite organization, and we wanted to be part of that. In our school, there is a requirement that you must be in at least two clubs (among other stricter requirements) to be considered for induction. So, Sarah and I decided that in our sophomore year, we would join at least two clubs. We joined the Club for the Integration of the Arts together. It is a club that runs our school’s coffeehouses, as well as the yearly opening of the school’s literary magazine. It was a good first club to join – great people, and really fun activities, but nothing that required work …show more content…
That was when I became dedicated to Mock Trial, and also spent time at Young Women’s Book Club. In addition to that, I also tried out for and made the Warriorettes, my school’s student-led dance team. In my sophomore year, those clubs certainly took time, but not enough that I was running around like a crazed person from school, to a club meeting, to my dance classes at Encore Dance Center three nights a week for four hours, to my house to get my homework done. I even accomplished another goal in May – I was inducted into my school’s French Honor Society. Then, my junior year came. For junior year, I had chosen a much more difficult course load – all my classes were weighted except for two semester classes and a full year class. I created a science fair project, which took the majority of the year, and then competed in three science fairs. I created my own career exploration project and made a 45 minute presentation of it. I was still involved at my dance studio, three nights a week for at least four hours, sometimes more, as well as still being part of Warriorettes. I also got a part time job over the summer that I worked after school on my days I didn’t have dance and on
