...Have you heard of the Early College program at Waipahu High School? What about the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society?

Students are participating in Early College courses, however, are not choosing to be involved in the Phi Theta Kappa organization. Because of this issue, it is important to raise awareness of the availability of honor programs, so students would be motivated by their high achieving peers...

...child psychologist. I chose this field because I felt that plenty of my friends were, consequently left to deal with circumstances that no child should live with, without someone guiding them through the trauma and pain in healing so that they might become functioning adults and parents with fewer complications in society. Despite my leaving Northeastern Illinois University, I made sure to instill the importance of education in my children; moreover, when they became older I decided to return to academia because I no longer wanted to feel that I was being a hypocrite by not pursuing my own dreams and goals. After my youngest graduated high school, I started my educational journey again and here I am thirty years later, applying to return to Northeastern Illinois University and being accepted but also applying for Northeastern Illinois...

...BOWIE STATE UNIVERSITY Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before 1964 with the intention of serving the African American community. They have always allowed admission to students of all races. There are 107 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the United States, including public and private institutions, community, four-year institutions, medical and law schools. Most were created in the aftermath of the American Civil War and are in the former slave states, although a few notable exceptions exist. Bowie State University is the oldest historically black university (HBCU) in Maryland. The present-day public university, located in suburban Bowie, Maryland, was founded by the Baltimore Association for the Moral and Educational Improvement of Colored People in 1865. Then known as the Baltimore Normal School, the institution’s goal was to train African Americans to become teachers. The Board of Education provided funding and assumed control of the school in 1908. The school relocated to Prince George’s County and received the name Maryland Normal School in 1914. The first four-year programs began in 1935 and the institution became a state college in 1963. The first graduate degree was in 1970 but Bowie State did not receive university status until 1988, when it became one of the first members of the just-established University System of Maryland. The school’s first doctoral...

...Content A fraternity (Latin frater : "brother") is a brotherhood, although the term sometimes connotes a distinct or formal organization and sometimes a secret society. A fraternity (or fraternal organization) is an organized society of men associated together in an environment of companionship and brotherhood; dedicated to the intellectual, physical, and social development of its members. History There are known fraternal organizations which existed as far back as ancient Greece and in the Mithraic Mysteries of ancient Rome. Analogous institutions developed in the late medieval period called confraternities, which were lay organizations allied to the Catholic Church. Some were groups of men and women who were endeavoring to ally themselves more closely with the prayer and activity of the Church; Others were groups of tradesmen, which are more commonly referred to as guilds. These later confraternities evolved into purely secular fraternal societies, while the ones with religious goals continue to be the format of the modern Third Orders affiliated with the mendicant orders. The development of modern fraternal orders was especially dynamic in the United States, where the freedom to associate outside governmental regulation is expressly sanctioned in law. There have been hundreds of fraternal organizations in the United States, and at the beginning of the 20th century the number of memberships equaled the number of adult males. (Due to multiple memberships, probably only 50%...

...While attending Lake Sumter State College the past few years have flow by. I not only achieved my set academic goals, I have also learned life lessons. I strived for the best and have a high GPA, with only one more semester of classes left until I graduate. Most students in community college take one or two classes at a time. I have always been a full time student while working two part time jobs, and doing extracurricular activities. My extracurricular activities include, being a chapter officer for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society where I have gone on officer field trips, run programs for the group, volunteered on many occasions, and attended the weekly meetings. I also this year became the Vice- president of the Humanities Preservation Society. In this club, I went on numerous field trips, attended on campus activities, and volunteer and attended weekly meetings. Since the beginning of high school I have taught children’s Sunday school every week at my church, using two to three hours of my time spreading the word of God to the youth of my area. Teaching and mentoring these children, I have watched most of them grow up from babies to being in the early years of elementary school. I also volunteer on regular basis. I have volunteered at the public library since my first year of high school with the children’s librarian. I also work with children, setting up activities, helping out during holiday festivals, shelving book materials, and assisting patrons in any way that I can...

...Greg Meholick Research Paper The Leadership Lessons of Jesus Christ When we talk about Jesus as a leader, we may imply two different forms: Jesus as the only Son of God, God of the universe, or the risen Christ as being one with God; or Jesus as the 1st century flesh and blood human being, the historical figure. Since the purpose of studying leadership is to improve one's own leadership skills, it makes sense to analyze Jesus' applicable traits, actions, and accomplishments as a good leader—in his historical role—so his leadership skills can be feasibly related to ourselves as human beings. I will attempt to analyze, using modern leadership criteria, how Jesus of Nazareth, the Jew and carpenter's son, was an effective spiritual leader of his time. Let us first examine the leadership attitude Jesus showed in his ministry. According to the address Thomas Cronin delivered at the Western Academy of Management in 1982, part of what makes leaders appealing is their confidence and faith: Leaders have those indispensable qualities of contagious self-confidence, unwarranted optimism, and incurable idealism that allow them to attract and mobilize others to undertake tasks these people never dreamed they could undertake. (To Lead or Not to Lead, Unit One 36) Jesus had infectious self-confidence that attracted all types of people to his cause. A teacher of the law said to Jesus, “Teacher, I will follow your wherever you go” (Matt. 8:19). He was also an...
