When first applying to my school’s chapter of the National Honor Society I thought little of it. It was a club that everyone applies to, and something my friends urged me to join. I was unsure if I even wanted to apply until the week before the deadline. Although stressful, I worked hard and was able to fill in the application, and turn in something I was proud of. After turning it in I thought little of it until I recieved my acceptance in the mail. As per all selective clubs, the rest of…

The students have been informed with great clarity on this lab policy!…
inside me is taking over, everyone is telling me that I am going to do well, but deep down I am trying not to vomit from being so nervous. Lights fade out. It is my time to shine. In the midst of this darkness, I walked over to the old fashioned metal high stools that stood center stage while my fellow actress awaited my arrival. We grab hands, look at each other and the lights rise up on the both of us. The music kicked in. This is what I dreamt of, this is what I worked for, but also what…
your family. Plenty of my friends would disagree with me because they actually really want to live without their family when they finish high school. Most of them say the reason they want to live by themselves is because at some part of your life you’re going to have your own family which also means living by yourself.

Bob Wager was the most renowned man in my high school, as well as the best teacher, at least to all of those who were fortunate enough to have him as an instructor. Bob Wager was my head football coach at James Martin High School. When he walked around it was almost most as if he had a golden glowing aura around him. His demeanor demanded greatness of those around him and he accepted nothing less. I remember watching him speak to my team and me as young 12-13 year old boys; I was filled with…
