In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson, portrays the subject curiosity very well because other subjects such as duality and temptation are a result of it. Each character in the story has a different and distinct curiosity and those who do not choose to unravel the mystery are considered as bland and unimportant. All big ideas start off as small and innocent ones, but it is up to a person’s curiosity to where and how far they will take it. This curiosity separates the ones who achieve their ideas and those who do not. Stevenson implies that curiosity comes in all forms and has the power to achieve desires, compel people to uncover a mystery, but most importantly it has the capability to drive a person to death.…

If I had to choose one phrase to describe myself it would be, “Above and beyond the call of duty,” or as I like to say, “A and B the C of D.” It’s something I read in a book a long time ago that has always stuck with me. I strive to do my best in order to achieve my goals and exceed expectations. In high school, I always tried to take advanced classes because I wanted to challenge myself and learn more complex ideas. I enjoyed learning with peers who, like me, wanted to get more out of their educations.…

The National Honors Society defines what it means to serve the student body as well as the community. As a student athlete in the Sutton school system leadership, service, character and scholarship have impacted my very way of life. Having a persistent attitude is what makes a student shine and as a prospective candidate for NHS I will incorporate this quality into each of the four pillars improving the society as a whole. Three years ago I began the NHS application process though I had little experience in volunteering for the community and lacked the opportunity to develop myself as a leader this changed as my high school career went on. Through athletics and long hours of volunteering with the town's technology department has provided me with numerous opportunities as high school went on.…

“Abid, pass me the ball!” I screamed at my friend as we played football in the rain. He looked at me and smiled like he knew I would score a goal, and passed the ball. As soon as the football hit the net, a loud sound ruptured the air. I looked back and saw the most horrific sight of my life.…
