...campus, as well as in the greater community. In addition, I am very comfortable and familiar with being in leadership positions and providing community service. Therefore, an opportunity such as the Honors Leadership Development Scholarship is exactly what I have been searching for. In the past, I have participated in a plethora of leadership and community service activities, such as volunteering at Mercy Hospital, Villari’s Self Defense, and with the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. However, I would like to highlight two instances of being in leadership positions, which accentuate my energy, passion, and drive. These involvements were with my high school’s Future Options Fair committee and with my high school’s chapter of the National Honor Society....

...This past summer of 2016, I have dedicated my time and effort training and volunteering as a lifeguard and have spent countless hours doing something where I could have otherwise been paid. I spent this time not only benefiting myself with lifeguarding experiences, but also benefiting those around me, and those who need me to help. During my time volunteering as a lifeguard, I not respected the authority of others in control, but, I also took initiative when it was necessary. During this time, I looked over the lives of people at the pool, spent time administering swim tests for younger children, cleaning the bathrooms, and power washing the deck around the pool. After the summer was over, I felt accomplished by spending my time and effort...

...Service:This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit. Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my own experiences and my years in the National Honor Society I have observed and come to support my beliefs of how important Service is. What I have learned about my community is, to give back to those who give or simply just to do something nice for someone else without being told/paid to do. Community service to me is what I would do to help my peers and community enjoy themselves at the cost of making them as well as my self, feel good that someone went out of their way to make their experience(s) fun and enjoyable. I am pleased to say everyone in this room carries the willingness to make a better community. I have gotten to know a better me in how I act towards different people and what I say to them. To me I think this shows an incredible charisma in how a person can change and make a difference so quickly The value and importance of community service in our society shows greatness within the National Honor Society. Without community service in our society many people would not know the meaning, usefulness, or importance of charity. Serving in your community takes away from the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a...

...The four pillars of the National Honor Society have been a set standard of principles I have consistently followed throughout my academic career. Through persistent dedication in the fields of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, I have been able to maintain exceptional grades and superior rankings in academics and music while still being a part of multiple activities in my school community. Being able to balance these four principles have allowed me to succeed and surpass expectations set by myself and my school. Scholarship is characterized by severe commitment to learning and ambition. I focus on this by taking the most rigorous courses available to me at my school. Since freshman year, I have only taken honors or advanced placement academic courses. Moreover, to ensure I surpass expectations, I make studying a part of my routine to maintain the 4.0 grade point average I have. In addition to the four main subjects in school, I have studied guitar in a separate school and at my high school for over three years. My dedication to music and countless hours of practice have landed me a spot in the Bayonne High School honors guitar trio. Throughout my entire academic and music carrer, my...

...life. I learned that everyone can contribute to the society’s sustainability by taking some small actions, like reusing water bottles, unplugging, and etc. These small sustainable activities we can do in daily life cause big effects to the society and they are critical. If everyone keeps doing these sustainable actions ever day, we could change the world a lot. In class, we learned that sustainability is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. By taking this exercise, I think that sustainability is not only a responsibility of corporations but also a responsibility for everyone in the society. Everyone should contribute to sustainability by taking these small actions. 2. Discuss the administration of Small Steps? Where directions adequate from Ron, Liz or Net Impact National? Was the program easy to follow? What would you ask us to do differently next semester? How about incentives (extra credit, cash, great interview story, etc – discuss)? The administration of Small Steps is good and it was easy to follow the exercise. My contributions to sustainability by taking these small steps are shown clearly on the website. It is easy to see the impacts to the society caused by my small sustainable actions, like CO2 I reduced, money I raised and etc, and it can encourage us to do more sustainable actions. Also, I can see what sustainable actions taken by my friends, which is a good chance to discuss out...

...Lone Star College – CyFair Honors Program Honors Scholarship Proposal Presented by: Jacob N. Qurashi and Tashara A. Frasier I. Title (Honors Scholarship Proposal ) II. Purpose To create a scholarship for LSC-CyFair students actively enrolled in honors courses or taking honors by contract which will aide students enrolled in these courses and serve as a recruitment and retention incentive to both the honors program and the college at large. III. Introduction a. Background As part of an ongoing student outreach campaign for the LSC-CyFair Honors Program, the Honors Student Organization has participated in many campus events this last year. Interested students frequently ask whether or not the Honors Program offers a scholarship to its students. At the present time LSC-CyFair does not offer a scholarship to its honors students. We believe creating a scholarship will not only help students taking honors classes which typically require additional materials or expenses in addition to those already incurred in the regular section, but can used as a marketing device for the honors program and the campus. Over the last couple of years, representatives of the Honors Student Organization have meet with Student Outreach to encourage publicity of the Honors Program at Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District high schools and local National Honors Society advisors; the addition of an honors scholarship would be a powerful selling point to both...

... Rockefeller, and Duke. After researching each one the team decided which having a museum created in their memory and honor should honor one. Cornelius Vanderbilt was crude and ungenerous man that always got his revenge. Although he played a large role in the industrial revolution and created many jobs, by the end of his life he had only give away $1 million dollars to Nashville’s Vanderbilt University. During the Civil War he also donated his largest and fastest steamship, named the Vanderbilt and built for around $1 million, to the Union Navy. The vessel was used to chase down Confederate raiders. Andrew Carnegie was picked over Mr. Vanderbilt because Carnegie made more contribution to society and organizations. We did not pick J.P. Morgan because all he seemed to be involved with was banking which appeared to be boring to us. We did not find much personal information about Morgan and while he did give, he did not give much. The only interesting information we could find about Rockefeller is that he owned the Standard Oil Company after J.P. Morgan. Other than that, there weren’t many ideas created that...

...I am deeply honored to be among the small group of students who are eligible for the National Honor Society. This is something that I have been looking forward to since my Freshman year. Being in all of the clubs and extracurricular activities, I have heard about this organization since I first walked into Waukesha North. Another stronger reinforcer was seeing my sister walk across the stage and seeing how honored she was, made me even more eager to be apart of this prestigious society. I strongly believe that this organization does great things in society, and that I can play a part in furthering its com. I would love to receive this honor because I have worked incredibly hard to get to this point in school and life in general. The National Honor Society is known for recognizing students with outstanding grades and characters, I believe that I have both. Currently, I have a 4.1 cumulative GPA. I have achieved the grades by taking challenging classes and having a lot of GRIT. GRIT is a trait based on an individual's passion for a particular long-term goal, along with a powerful motivation to achieve their respective objective. GRIT is not able to be taught; it is a biological trait that a person gets from their parents, and I believe that I have a lot of it. As for character, I believe that I demonstrate...

...Does the United States present a Public Administrational model for the rest of the world for avoiding corruption? “Corruption is an insidious plague that has a wide range of corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of human life, and allows organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish. This evil phenomenon is found in all countries… but it is in the developing world that its effects are most destructive. Corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds intended for development, undermining a Government’s ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice and discouraging foreign aid and investment. Corruption is a key element in economic under-performance and a major obstacle to poverty alleviation and development.” Koffi Anan, foreword, United Nations Convention against Corruption, 2003. When Democracy and central governance was formed in ancient Greece, it was for the very purpose of preventing the powerful few putting their needs above those of the masses they ruled – after all ‘Democracy’, stems from the Greek demos and kratia literally meaning the power of the people. For peoples familiar only with autocracies and hereditary monarchies, this was a radical notion. Why then, in some modern democracies, has the word government come to be almost synonymous with corruption? Corruption in government is...

...their ideas on searching for solutions to problem, need, or the way others think or view specific issues. When I think of famous thinkers a vast number of people come to mind. Two thinkers that genuinely stand out to me are Steven Spielberg & Grace Hopper. My article will provide more details on the influence and accomplishments of these great thinkers. Steven Spielberg Steven Spielberg had an early start on his career, even as a child he was an amateur filmmaker. Spielberg became an Academy Award-winning director and one of the youngest television directors. His opportunities became endless after the television film, Duel in 1972, which landed him a chance to direct for the cinema. Steven Spielberg has brought unique contributions to society. Ten ways he has done this is 1. Helping to create the idea of the movie “blockbuster.” 2. Bringing back our sense of wonder 3. Helping to make robot uprising the new zombie apocalypse 4. Bringing back the Saturday morning serial 5. Co-founding a successful new studio, and helping bring back animated films 6. Preserving and shaping the memory of World War II 7. Showing that video games could be a viable storytelling tool. 8. Taking on tough adaptations/re-imaginings, and making them happen 9. Keeping science fiction alive on TV 10.

IN THESE GROUPS * FAMOUS PEOPLE IN TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING * FAMOUS PEOPLE IN JOURNALISM & NONFICTION * FAMOUS GOVERNMENT * FAMOUS POLITICAL PARTY Show All Groups Synopsis Born in 1931 in Dhanushkodi, India, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam joined India's defense department after graduating from the Madras Institute of Technology. He was a central figure in the development of the country's nuclear capabilities, and was hailed as a national hero after a series of successful tests in 1998. Kalam served as India's president for one term, and died of a heart attack on July 27, 2015. Early Years Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born into a Muslim family on October 15, 1931, on the island of Dhanushkodi off the southeastern coast of India. He developed an early fascination with flight by watching birds, which developed into an interest in aeronautics after he saw a newspaper article about a British fighter plane. Despite his modest beginnings – his dad built and rented boats – Kalam was a bright student who showed promise in science and mathematics. He attended St. Joseph's College, and went on to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology. Rise to the Presidency His hopes of becoming a fighter pilot was dashed when he narrowly missed out on a spot with the Indian Air Force.
