National Honor Society Reflection Paper
Throughout my time as a part of National Honor Society and the entirety of my high school career, service has been the most important part of my experience. I have been required to participate in a small amount of service, but I have never felt as if it was enough. Because of this, I volunteer for many hours that exceed my requirements to give back to my community as often as possible. In pursuit of this achievement, I have worked on a variety of projects such as food and coat drives, children’s events, and habitat restoration projects. Each of these has given me something to take away from the experience and apply to my own life. Yet, one particular project has always had the greatest emotional impact on my life. This experience is Kenny’s

    Spelman College’s motto, A Choice to Change the World, mirrors my goal as a member of this intellectual community. During my first year at this institution, I dedicated myself to several hours of community service. I found that this was a vital part of my intellectual growth as both a student and person within society. This year I volunteered for several nonprofit organizations, however I dedicated most of my time to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Before volunteering for this organization I was not quite sure how I would be able to make a significant difference in my community. However, when I volunteered for this organization, I was able to tremendously help people in Atlanta. Likewise, this experience opened my eyes to the increasing…

    Bringing people together encouraging human unity is a gift. Participating in service demonstrates that a person cares for others. There is no measurement for service to society, it is what helps to make the world a better place. I provide service regularly at my church, City Of Faith Church Of God. The congregation inspires me to give as much of me to them, as I possibly can. Working at. The church food pantry brings me joy.feeding citizens who are without the basics, food, and seeing the look of relief on their faces is one of the greatest experiences. Additionally, preparing for the culmination of "Child's Month Celebration" has been a lot of fun. Designing the logo based on the theme of "Be A Winner and Join The Race" was a fulfilling role. As a nominee of the National Honors Society , my mind overflows with ideas of how we can serve in our community. Some tasks we can fulfill include visiting the elderly. I am certain that they would appreciate and enjoy us going to read and/or listen them. Helping to clean our school environment would also be a good use of our service. In addition, I believe that academic tutoring from members of the Honors Society to students at NFA, other schools in the district, and the public library would be very useful and effective. Our service is important and would be very effective in our…

    Honors Study Hall is a highly debated topic within Wild Rose High School. People talk about where it should be held, who should be in it, and even if we should have it in the first place. This year our school decided to take honors study hall from the cafeteria and place it in the library. This was a bad idea because instead of changing the location, the subject in which should change is the people who are allowed to be in honors study hall.…

    In the first DQ, I stated in my original answer, I will not have concerns but I will have questions. Being new to the education field, I am naturally going to questions on planning, evaluation, IEPs, and/or meeting the needs of the student ID. However, I will rely on my the education I have received from my journey at GCU. I will rely on my current experiences with working with adults with intellectual disabilities on planning, evaluation, ICPs (the adult version of an IEP), and/or meeting their needs. I will rely on the many resources available for special education teachers such as The National Association Special Education Teachers, Council for Exceptional Children, Wrights Law, Center for Parent Information and Resources, and many more.…

    I completed my community service for the Autism Speaks U 5K run/3K walk, which was located at Kendrick Park in downtown Amherst. The mission of this organization is to spread awareness and fund research for autism, and there are 4 pillars which are research, awareness, advocate, and family services. This organization serves children with autism who live anywhere in the nation and are the younger demographic, but can be any race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and group identity. I am different from the people served because I do not have autism, but I understand that it is a disorder that is not very well understood, so it is monumental to try to change that by finding causes and treatments for autism to help families of children suffering…

    Though I undoubtedly cherished every moment with all of the activities I had participated in throughout high school, the one I yearn to continue is being an active member of the National Honor Society. Service is one of the four characteristics National Honor Society members represent and is my personal favorite aspect of National Honor Society. Since being inducted my junior year, I have found a new appreciation for giving back to my community. My chapter partakes in many different types of volunteer work for our small town like hosting blood drives, teacher appreciation week, and our own personal service projects. I feel like my community has done so much for me and I love that I have the opportunity to give back to it alongside my peers…

    Following the incident, I began to immerse myself with opportunities of service and involvement. In addition to helping myself, I wanted to be a reason for another’s joy. Every week I spent time with my school’s Special Education program in hosting events and activities to make them inclusive. Within our first year, I was able to help begin a Special Olympics for my peers to participate in. However, I was also determined to impact the community outside of my school. For a project that I led press relations with, our Key Club’s Louisiana Strong Campaign was able to acquire more than 1,225 items within a month for victims of the Louisiana flooding. My years in service have brought me to understanding the content I receive when being able to bring fulfillment to others. As well, both of these projects represented that although I am only an individual, it only takes one person to be a catalyst of relief for many.…

    I am deeply honored with the opportunity to become a member of National Honors Society. As a student with a 4.3 grade point average, this has always been something I have looked forward to. My grades are my top priority. Classmates in school admire me and call me “smart”, I, in the other hand, do not think of myself as smart. To be more precise, I think of myself as a student that has taken the opportunities given and has used them wisely. I have gave every class my best, and have tried to do all things to the best of my ability. I feel that I am a hard worker. I am a one hundred percent dedicated to anything I am a part of.…

    For a girl who is use to achieving at everything she does, it was a great astonishment when I heard I didn’t make it into National Honors Society. I have never felt such like a failure before. When I first started high school as a freshman I have heard of National Honors Society because my brother was in it so I wanted to be in it as well. At my high school you can only be invited into it as a junior. To be invited into it you must have had a 3.5 GPA or higher.…

    My final project consisted of making a digital history on my family’s journey in coming to America from Dominican Republic. The technology that I used to create my project was an iPhone, iMovie, and Youtube. The process I undertook had many challenges. I decided to make a movie, which meant I had to go home for a weekend to video my grandparents and father. I also had to gather documents and pictures to support my movie, which was very difficult due to my grandparents not having many photos from the 1970’s. My father, on the hand, had many pictures of his childhood, so I made him the focus of my movie. In addition, I had to research what was occurring in Dominican Republic during the 1970’s to explain why my grandparents wanted to leave. After I collected all the information, I spent days putting the movie together on iMovie. Unfortunately, iMovie failed me many times, which made my project time consuming. One of my recordings of my father talking about his experience deleted by accident and I could not go home again to record him. Corresponding, I had to record my…
