...I feel honored that I was chosen to be accepted into The National Honor Society. I never expected that I would get the chance to join, but this has proven me wrong. This shows that I have a chance to join. To be completely honest, I have only heard about NHS from my cousins who are already a part of NHS.I think that I deserve this honor, because I know myself that I have worked hard for this and believe that I have what it takes to be apart of The National Honor Society. As I am aware, The National Honor Society recognizes students with grades that are quite outstanding and a great character. I believe that I possess both. My grades from last quarter and the quarter before were quite outstanding. My quarter one’s GPA was 4.0 and quarter two’s GPA was 3.8. As you can see my grades are top priority because I work hard for the grades that I want and achieve. Unlike most kids in Hawaii, I was raised in different surroundings. Although, I was born here in Hawaii, I moved to Alaska when I was 2 years old. Compared to my life in Alaska to life in Hawaii, they are completely different from one another. Life in Alaska for me was quite a pleasant one, Alaska was my...

...Fundamentals of Leadership in Combat MSG Jose A. Rosario United States Army Sergeants Major Academy Class 63 SGM Merritt, Darrick / Mr. Lemire Mike 30 August 2012 Abstract The United States Army has transformed itself into a professional entity that demands its leaders to be effective while maintaining certain skills and attributes. Though these leadership skills and attributes vary from one leader to the next, ultimately there is one common goal, accomplish the mission at hand. The Four Fundamentals of Leadership provides Army leaders the foundation needed to be successful. If applied properly, the four fundamentals can be an essential tool for any leader in garrison and in combat. Four Fundamentals of Leadership in Combat Leadership Army Leadership Defined Field Manual 6-22 (2003) defines Military Leadership as, “Influencing people by providing purpose, motivation, and direction while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.” This definition is the foundation of any good leader. The task of influencing others to execute a successful and effective mission can be infinitely more complicated than one would imagine. The act of war alone is complicated and often can be confusing to the young and inexperienced Soldier. With this knowledge, it is the responsibility of military leaders to provide Soldiers with those key factors mentioned above; purpose, motivation, and direction connect directly to the four fundamentals of leadership.

During the summer of tenth grade, I took a number theory course at Johns Hopkins University with students from Alaska, California, and Bogota, Colombia.

At Drew, I took courses in molecular orbital theory, special relativity, cognitive psychology, and I participated in an astrophysics research project. For my independent research project, I used a telescope to find the angular velocity of Pluto. With the angular velocity determined, I used Einstein's field equations and Kepler's laws to place an upper bound on the magnitude of the cosmological constant, which describes the curvature of space and the rate of the universe's expansion.

...The first guidance program was developed in 1895. In 1926 New York became the first state to require guidance workers to be certified; in 1929 New York became the first state to have full time guidance workers. In 1952 the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA) was established, now known as American Counseling Association (ACA). In 1952 The American School Counselor Association (ASCA) was established. In 1958 the National Defense Education Act was passed, which increased training and hiring of school counselors. In 1964 NDEA Title A was passed, providing counseling to elementary schools. In 1997 ASCA published their National Standards, providing benchmarks for student’s competency in academic, career, and personal/social domains. In 2003 the ASCA National Model was published as a framework for school counseling programs it was revised in 2005 and 2012 (Erford, 2015). The collaborative model of school counseling is a cooperative process where the school counselor “helps others in the school community to think through problems and to develop skills that make them more effective in working with student” (Erford, 2015, p.35). Through this model the school counselor partners with parents, educators, and community resources and organizations to promote the career, academic, and personal/social development of all students. The role of the professional school counselor is evolving to a new vision, in which the school counselor focuses on the whole school not just individual...

...Jadeyn Schutt 190054 National Honor Society Essay Leadership is a very important quality that I value and strive to live out in my every day life through athletics and academics. One way that I lead through athletics is serving as our volleyball team’s floor captain. That means that I am responsible for my team’s conduct and communicating with the officials. As the setter, I have the ability to lead my teammates through constant encouragement and positive actions. By improving each contact into a hittable ball, I am able to set my teammates up for success. An opportunity that I was able to lead off the court was by hosting a team meal at my house before senior night. We were able to bond during this night together. I also organized the senior gifts, planned the ribbon schedule, and made our lockerroom bulletin board. As I was usually the last one out of the...

...Through the many reforms of policing in a democratic society, we have yet to find a constant policing system that has been effectively throughout the centuries. Authors Ashley Shultz and James R. “Chip” Coldren, Jr have spent their professional careers promoting research, technical assistance, and reform in policing. The CNA invited such leaders to participate in the Executive Session to address several problems in policing in a democratic society in which then they proposed four key questions to the leaders that’s on the minds of many: 1. what is your future vision for policing in America? 2 What needs to happen to make progress toward this vision? 3 What is happening currently in this regard? and 4 How can we support efforts to make these...

...Organizational development and fundraising professionals, as well as board volunteers, have the opportunity to cross boundaries that divide people in other sectors. Whether we view this opportunity with apprehension or enthusiasm depends on our heritage, experiences, beliefs, and vision. Historically, nonprofit boards have offered limited opportunities to develop diverse leadership. 4 Beyond representation: Building diverse board leadership teams Maria Gitin OVER THE YEARS , dialogue on board diversification has evolved from focus on the importance of representing constituents, to “doing the right thing,” which is characterized by opponents as “political correctness,” to the current widely held view that a nondiverse board is missing key potential donors and opinion leaders. Diverse leaders can expand knowledge, create new resources, and open doors to partnerships necessary to fulfill an organization’s mission. Recommended strategies for board diversification must be understood in the context of the deeply divided society of the United States. Although North American cultural issues are the result of a unique history, most elements of diversity planning will apply in other countries as well.

...Academic Success in America James E. Martin Averett University Academic Success in America Academic success in America would not be a critical issue if parents ensure, at an early age that their children understand personal responsibility when it comes to education. Starting from the time a child learns to walk; parents are providing their children with an understanding of how to be successful in life but with that being said, it doesn’t mean that your children will become rocket scientists just because you do the right thing. As a youth, I learned both good and bad examples of academic success from my parents. The first thing I learned was that mom was a high school graduate but my dad had to drop out of school in the ninth grade. Discovering the educational levels of my parents was important to me because I felt their success in life would be the same as mine, all I had to do was get through school, graduating or not and I’d have money, cars, a house and a family. During my earlier years of learning (elementary school), my parents did not review my school work for accuracy, nor were they members of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). My parents had hectic schedules; my dad would leave for work early in the morning and return late in the evening, while my mom would leave for work in the afternoon and return late at night. I didn’t have anyone to check to see if my homework was finished or help me with school work; my parents relied on the school system in order...

...Harvard, Favorite books The novel Black Like Me was the most stimulating book I have recently read. I was taken aback by the cruelty the narrator experienced when he was black compared to the hospitality he found as a white man. Possessing the same occupation, clothing, wealth, speech, and identity did not matter when his skin was another color. Given that this was a non-fictional piece, my reaction was even stronger. The book made me favor equality of opportunity for all in every endeavor so others' opinions of them are based on performance, not preconceptions. Harvard, Favorite teacher I selected Mr. (name) because he taught me more than U.S. History; he taught me how to think independently. This wasn't done only to prepare me for the free-response section of the A.P. test, either. I know he did it to make his students responsible citizens and responsible adults. From the outset, he wanted to make sure that we knew how we stood in our political philosophy: strict constructionists or loose constructionists. He wanted to make sure that we didn't gravitate towards empty categories like liberal or conservative, but rather focused on issues separately whenever we needed to take a stand on them. Imagine my surprise when I, the son of two very conservative parents who constantly bombarded me with their rhetoric, discovered that I had strong liberal tendencies on some issues. Aside from political affiliations, Mr. (name) taught us how to make sense out of history by trying...
