2015 Odyssey Research Paper

I wish to be apart of the National Junior Honors Society because I have always been a determined and hardworking person and being accepted would continue my journey of greatness. In all the activities I have participated in, I don’t ever do it for acknowledgement or respect from others. I do it for my enjoyment and success.

I have done my best in school. I have always gotten a grade better than a A- in school. In order to achieve this, I do extra credit when it’s given, go in early to class if I do not understand a concept, and get homework done in a orderly manner.

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing”, quoted the famous Albert Einstein. Most people don’t care what happens to others who need the help. Luckily, we invented food banks, Wounded Warrior Project, and plenty of other things. I would like to be part of National Junior Honor Society because the very origin of the society came from service. I realize that to be a part of the society, I will need to work hard to get where I want to be.

I believe that my involvement in the National Junior Honors Society could change my future significantly. It is an outstanding opportunity to develop many skills that can be used in high school, college, and my future career. It will improve my leadership abilities, oral skills, and will give me the chance to work with many other people. I understand how prestigious this program is and I am prepared to be a member of this very beneficial organization.

This past year, I have been motivated to keep up my grades and work hard because of Adams' National Junior Honor Society program. I have aspired to be in the Society since I read it over the summer on the Adams website. I was so excited when I received this letter because it meant I had a chance at making the program. I want to be in NJHS because it will teach me how to manage my time, organize events, and work with others. Working with others who also value academic success contributes to my will to be in the program. Together, we can help each other grow and thrive in the community. We can also collaborate to help those in our community who aren’t in the position to speak out for themselves. I read about an NJHS group that organized an event where they donated toys to children who are less fortunate. They spoke out in school and changed the lives of many young, unhappy children through the program.

As a hard-working, committed individual, I believe that being a member of National Honors Society will significantly benefit my personal character, academic achievements, and social life. After conducting some research on National Honors Society, I have come to learn that NHS needs students that exemplify the qualities of character, service, scholarship, and leadership to be qualified for membership. By being qualified for this outstanding opportunity, I believe that I can attain leadership skills, and confidence which can be beneficial in the years to come.

During ancient Greece, Athena was considered to be one of the most powerful and influential gods of that time. The Greek goddess Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom, she is the balance between intellect and power. Ancient Greek civilizations shaped their gods into the images that they felt could portray their desired identity; to the Greeks Athena embodied everything they sought to have, wisdom, power, and the need for justice. To this day Athena is still regarded as the symbol for wisdom. In the 21st century the mark that Athena left over 2000 years ago is still very much relevant.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, was the daughter of Zeus alone. She was a virgin god who could not find love. She was a very beautiful goddess, so it was hard to understand why she was not married. She claimed it was because she was a strong independent woman, also because she despised men. She knew she could do the same things that men could do, if not better. Athena wanted more than anything to find love and be with the one she loved for the rest of eternity. But what she didn’t know was that she would soon find love and be with her soul mate for eternity. One day Athena discovered a mortal who was living in her silhouette. Kallista was a beautiful mortal, who was strong, brave, kind, and smart. Kallista was also a virgin, who was not

Sitting next to the window of Cyber Café, I enjoy the raining view of the lake. Taking a small sip of coffee, I feel so happy that I made the right choice. When I visit Northwest Vista College campus for the first time, I have felt in love with it. Because of beautiful lake and good educational system, I decide to apply for this school as my first stepping-stone to my career goal in my life.

In my paper I will try and explain the reason of why I would make the call to launch the Challenger in 1986. As we all know we had a horrific accident when the Challenger was launched on January 28, 1986. There were seven crew members who lost their lives when the Challenger blew up within only 73 seconds of flight. This was a major setback in the United States space explorations and prompted NASA to temporarily suspend all future shuttle missions.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto to capture some never-ever-never-seen pictures at close range before. The unmanned vehicle took about nearly 10 years to travel 1 billion miles + 1 billion miles + 1 billion miles =3 billion miles from Earth to Pluto. The New Horizons is a spacecraft that its purpose was to get to pluto and jupiter./2015

Homer was a greek poet that was born sometime between the 12th and 18th century. There has been much speculation of when Homer was born, scholars would guess that his birth was somewhere around 1200 BC to 750 BC. One of homers works The lliad, have made scholars widely believe he was born around the Trojan war event. Homer was also believed to live before The olympic games, where the Greeks actually started their calendar, meaning that Homer was born before there was an actual calendar. This makes it even harder for scholars to pinpoint his birth date. Like his birth date, where Homer was born was also a mystery. It is believed that Homer was born in places like Ionia, Smyrna, Asia Minor or the island of Chois. Homer is best known for his two epic poems: The lliad and The Odyssey. The lliad

Troy. Almost everyone young and old has heard of this historical city… but how much do you really know? When the city of Troy is mentioned, the first thing that people usually think about is the story they all heard of as kids, where the Trojans were overcome by a ploy with a big wooden horse etc. But there is so much more to Troy than that. Troy was first founded in 3,000 BCE, in Anatolia (now Turkey), right next to the Dardanelles. This gave them an opportune trading position, for most merchants coming from the Aegean Sea would have to pass right by Troy to get to the black sea. Not only that, but this was the beginning

Realism began to dominate art around the 19th century and peaked toward the middle of the century. Realism desired precise depictions of the visual without any alteration. This change caused a dramatic change in art and artist.
