Back in middle school, I was a part of National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). We were the largest class to be inducted into NJHS. Being such a large class meant we would have to raise a lot of money if we expected to reach our goal. Our goal was to raise enough money for our trip to the Lead Conference at Washington, D.C. Only one NJHS chapter before us had raised enough money to go all the way to Washington, D.C. We were determined to reach that same goal, but things don't always go as planned.…

ceremony for the students that finished the year Cum Laude or above. All my classmates were saying it was nerdy so I complained to my mom about her making me go.

All of the extra time I put in. All my dedication. All of the frustration. Whenever I want to procrastinate or I feel lazy, I remember our conversation. It…
