I am really interested in joining the National Junior Honors Society as a student. I believe that it is good to help others with things such as tutoring, and just helping others in general. I have always loved school and all the subjects. Even though I’m less knowledgeable in math than all my other subjects, I still love it because you can nonetheless put your brain to work. I love challenges and puzzles because they are fun. I think that joining this Society will help me in the future so I can…

On page 32, I explained that I shared my background with students in hopes of connecting with them. I want to be clear that while this is something I normally do, I also was encouraged by Department Chair Dr. Kilolo Brodie to do so as a means to build relationships with students.

high school. But the students who are in the Room 203 were abandoned by the school teacher. The students were desperate for love, they wanted to get love from their family and friends, but they just had violence and loneliness because of racial discrimination. Among the students, there was not only racial discrimination but also bad habits. A new teacher who is Erin Gruwell gave her love and respect to help her students change. With love and respect from Ms. G, her students changed their lives…

Each crisp morning, Fork Union cadets line up to pay respect to our country’s flag. We march company by company onto the circle sitting before Hatcher Hall. After a whole year, starting every school day off with this circle formation has simply turned into part of our everyday routine. We line up outside of each company’s doors into each floor’s separate platoons, with day students attaching themselves to the end of each evenly. Our company commander takes charge with the company TAC officer…
