Spanish National Honor Society

reality, which is exactly what she did. She encouraged me to take all of the advanced courses offered to me which I did. I have taken Honors and AP/ College Prep courses to not only challenge myself but to be prepare myself for college as well. Although I had a busy schedule I still participated in extracurricular activities. I was a member of the National Honor Society which ran fundraisers and supported the student body. I have also been a mentor of a youth group at my church and a science…

this last month. With my CNA, I know I can have a good experience at a Hospital or where I plan to work leading me to get my Nursing degree. Extracurricular activities I have been involved in include Health Occupations, Students of America (HOSA), Spanish Club, Renaissance Club, and others. In HOSA, I got to attend…

I have been a member of the Spanish Club for my entire high school career. My mom is a Spanish Teacher at Barbers Hill High School. She helps run the high school's Spanish Club, and we "adopt" a family yearly at Christmas. I have been helping my mom with her efforts for many years, even before my time at Barbers Hill High School. We help families in…

bit above the norm and was considered a vulgar woman in her country. She did not dress the way her society liked, she made dance and music videos, and was very outspoken. Because of this, many believed she was “dishonoring” her family. She was not allowed to live and so her own brother murdered her through asphyxiation. Unfortunately, this type of crime is not common in just Pakistan. Thousands of honor killings occur every year, all over the world, and sometimes there’s little to no media…

Filipinos, revere Rizal as someone of a high order without fully understanding why we do such thing. I initially thought that the author, Renato Constantino, was an anti-Rizal for writing it and for saying that we fail to understand why is Rizal our national hero. Is he just purposely trying to prop up Andres Bonifacio or other heroes above Rizal’s name? Does he have evidences with him that will prove his assertions? Well, by merely looking at the number of pages he has worked…

continuing my Catholic education in high school I will continue too, not just in religion, but in all the subjects, from english, to math, to spanish. I believe that our faith also teaches us to be leaders, and I try to always set a good example with my words and actions. I am student council vice president, cheer captain, a member of the National Junior Honor Society, reading olympics, the volleyball team, the yearbook committee, a mathlete, and a safety. I also dance six hours a week I attend…

the International Baccalaureate Program. Each year, the program has around 35 members, a microcosm within the sea of 2,000 who overall attend Druid Hills. Within this focused, dedicated group, I was able to gain a sense of community. Similarly, the Honors Program is small yet cohesive. Also, during my experience, I had two teachers with PhDs- an incongruous detail within any public school, but even more pronounced due to Druid Hills’ composition.…

english and french. Her family stayed very connected with the Catholic Church but they assimilated into American Society by dropping most of their traditions. My mom married a white man who did not speak spanish so at home she only spoke english. It was only when I visited my grandfather or my late aunt that spanish would be spoken in the household. Needless to say, I cannot speak spanish. This defining quality makes me feel separated ethnically from my mother’s family and their culture. I does…

selected as a candidate for the National Honor Society. I have been working my whole high school career for a position in the society. I believe that I would be an excellent member of NHS because of the effort I have invested into my education and into the clubs I am involved in. Through my effort and determined character, I have proudly earned the leadership positions I now hold throughout many organizations in the high school. Overall, I am ready to become part of the society and help to…
