Tab Personal Response
Tab: Laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier is a great honor and responsibility that I would like to experience. In doing so I would be able to convey how I believe my family, friends, and school, should be represented. This opportunity is once in a lifetime and very unique in a way that it shows others a tender viewpoint of our freshman class, and not just a group of rowdy 15 year olds.
Tab: St.Charles high school may seem very one-dimensional from the outside, like many high schools, and this can oftentimes be magnified to suffocate our depth and benevolence. I would very much like to be the person who inflates the image of how respectful and authentic the people attending our school can be. Through programs, like S.T.A.N.D. and

    Unknown Soldier's Honor

    “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” These words may only be a song but these words have power. Men and Woman give there lives to protect the country, they give up everything to fight for this country, even though most of us are not grateful enough, They fight for the rights we have, each and every one of us, and they deserve our appreciation. I believe that the Unknown Soldier deserves just as much appreciation. The Wreath Ceremony would be an amazing honor to participate in and honor the Unknown Soldier and all this Soldier has given to protect us. This is truly an honor for whoever is chosen, I personally want to participate in the Wreath Ceremony because…

    “Each of the patriots whom we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor” - George H.W Bush. Each of these people, despite why they fought, have a name, a family, and most importantly a story. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers serves as a memorial to those who are unidentified or never recovered. It is our nation’s responsibility to guard them and keep them safe as they did for us. It is important to honor the past with your own future. It is important to spread the story of those with no story. I would love to honor those soldiers who fought for our freedom.. Laying that wreath would greatly show my appreciation and give me a chance to thank and honor…

    Joining Link Crew

    Something that I have done that I believe has made my school a better place would be joining Link Crew. Link Crew has allowed me to help the freshman as they join the school. A big influence I had to join Link Crew was that I had a great Link Crew leader that really helped me when I was entering freshman year. Being in Link Crew, I have met many freshman entering the high school that I am able to help just as my Link Crew leader did for me. As a Link Crew leader I started off with a number of students in a group that we meet during their orientation. By having this group, I attend for them to get comfortable and know that they have peers along side them that are adjusting to what they can expect in high school. Throughout the school year, I…

    I use to be picked on my older kids for random things I could not change. So in return I never judge others by the way they look, act or are. In fifth grade I joined a group called M&Ms (Mentors and Mediators), where I helped kids with their academic struggles. It may of been one of the only clubs I have been in but I realized that when I help other people, they inturn constantly lend me a hand. Even though I have not participated in frequent clubs that help the school and/or community, but I think NJHS will help me better my community.…

    First and foremost, I have given up much of my personal time to help my community. The past three summers I have volunteered for over eighty hours at St. Rita’s Medical Center here in Lima. For many, this may not sound like a lot but for a teenager to give up part of their summer to help others is a big deal. Volunteering not only takes the will to work but it also takes passion, compassion, and knowledge to follow through with the tasks given to you throughout the day. My eighty hours shows I have all three of these things. I have helped my school by being an excellent scholar and never giving it a horrendous name. I have achieved being an honor student throughout the past three years that I have attended BHS and have always shown pride when representing my school during numerous events. I am always willing to help my teachers when needed, they may be there to teach us but they are also there to learn from us in certain ways. My fellow classmates I do believe would say I am always willing to help them out when I am needed. I would like to organize volunteer time at our local soup kitchen and hospitals, numerous food and clothing drives, and also help with the annual blood drive. All of these things will help our community out in different ways, which will bring good to our fellow people.…

    In any community, members share knowledge and responsibilities. I knew that to be accepted as a member of the team I had to demonstrate my commitment as a team player, but I also had to draw on my knowledge and skills when communicating with other members of the community. In other words, I used the logos and ethos appeals to convince the upper-class-men that I belonged…

    The National Honors Society is more than just a honor roll, but an organization that recognizes the efforts made by hard working high school students. I would like to join National Honors Society because it would challenge my development in both my community and my school. The National Honors Society, consisting of over one million students, would make me a part of a large community that could create many opportunities for me in the future. A highly respected organization such as the National Honors Society is very significant to me.

    Once I started junior year I had a recurring thought. I wanted to leave my name known at School of the Holy Child. I wanted to be a name to remember for years to come. Then I thought about what could I, Amanda Elimian, do to make Holy Child a better place. I thought of something that I am most passionate about: social justice. In 10th grade, every girl at my school takes an entire class devoted to social justice, but what I have observed especially in my own grade is that after that year, we tend to forget about those topics. I knew that I did not want the next generation of entrepreneurs, doctors, actresses, lawyers, CEOs, and amazing women to not be aware of the world around them.…

    Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, knowing we have 'guardians at the gate.'” We must never forget the lives that were taken while protecting our country. Having the privilege to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown would touch me on a personal level. I have a great-great uncle who served in Vietnam. I remember hearing stories of how his mother and sister were worried sick that he wouldn’t make it home. Thankfully, he arrived home safely. On the other hand, somewhere there was a mother who will never know what happened to her son. A mother who never got to lay her little boy to rest. A wife that never got to grow old with her husband. Maybe even a little girl who was never able to have her daddy walk her down the aisle. Although the identities of these men are unknown, they all have a different story. I could never imagine what it would be like to never truly know what happened to your father, son, or brother. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about those families who faced that type of situation. If I were able to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, it would become my greatest responsibility. I would forever remember the day that I was able to honor those who fought for our…
