Case Study: Enterprising Billy Mcfarland

Another reason why I would be a good NJHS member is because I show scholarship. I show scholarship by displaying academic effort by asking questions and writing exceptional answers. I also have appropriate value of education by always staying productive and challenging myself. I maintain high expectations of myself

In past years, when people was talking about higher education, they had no hesitation to mention university immediately. When others were mentioning that college also belonged to higher education, sometimes they reacted with a wry smile, and shook their heads. Yes, even if it is for today, university gets the higher appraisal than college, and even many people think ‘‘college as America used to understand it is coming to an end.’’ As parents, they prefer their children to study in university instead of college, no matter how high of tuition the university it is. They ignore the value of college. Although sometimes college is viewed as critical by other people, we still can find its value, and how it is really beneficial for our lives, even if we don’t pursue a degree.

Masculine’s definition is stereotypically twisted. The myth and reality of the cowboy shaped today’s definition of masculinity because they have this high and strong structure they need to uphold. Masculinity is having the traditional acts as a man, such as being strong and secure. In today’s world man and women have two different mindsets. Even though we are all humans, our gender defines the way we should act due to how society makes it. The myth has affected males physically, emotionally and mentally. The idea is that they are supposed to act accordingly. In reality, everyone wants to grow up differently, so why would they be forced to act/be a certain way?

After doing some research on the National Honor Society, I learned that one must demonstrate the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service in order to be considered for membership into the National Honor Society. Therefore, by showing that I possess each of these four qualities, I can contribute to Ocoee High School as a member of the National Honor Society.

Being able to attain the necessary GPA to be considered to become a member shows my hard work, which it a quality that I possess in and out of school. This year I got hired for a part time job in retail while still trying to go to my barn as much as possible, which proved to be difficult and very time consuming. However, I still managed to, despite having ADD, which makes time management very hard for me. Another factor that shows my hard work is my grades. My grades have gone from mostly B’s in ninth and tenth grade to having mostly A’s in eleventh grade.

It is an honor to be chosen as a candidate for membership in the National Honor Society. Academics, leadership skills, service abilities, and character are four principal parts of a superior student. I believe that I am inclusive of all these aspects needed to become a part of this prestigious group. Becoming a member of this organization is important to me, because it will help me get into an excellent college and push me to work harder in school.

In conclusion, It is important to have leadership, good character, give service, and be an upstanding citizen. It would be an honor to be inducted into NJHS. Therefore, I have the qualities to be inducted to the

Management of Billy’s made several assumptions towards its newly acquired company, Little Drummer Boy. Management finally adopted the assumptions that the fair value of significant assets acquired was $865 million and that of other assets was $145 million. At the same time of the acquisition, management also decided that useful lives of the acquired plant and equipment were 30 years and 15 years, respectively, which were different from the 20 years and 10 years useful lives for the previously owned plant and equipment. Furthermore, management determined a useful live of 15 years for the acquired customer list. Regarding the $865 million assumption, auditors only adopted the procedure to compare the percentage used to

Have you ever looked down upon a Blue-collar worker? Well, no need to anymore. Author Mike Rose, a professor at UCLA, wrote "Blue-Collar Brilliance," published in a reputable magazine in 2009 in the American Scholar. Rose argues that Blue-Collar workers are often overlooked. Additionally, Rose brings an overwhelming measure of thankfulness and support as this article assertively endeavored to persuade white-collar workers who before it demonstrated almost no appreciation for blue collar workers. He claims that in effect, intelligence cannot be determined only by the knowledge we collect in school but also through how we learn skills in our daily lives. Rose effectively argues his claim by using pathos, ethos, and logos through personal stories, and comprehensive counterarguments.

I believe the most important requirement for gaining membership at National Honor Society would be a student’s personality and character. First of all, I learned to maintain a positive attitude even after my failures. I came to the United States as a freshman in 2010. At that time, I really had hard time learning English and I didn’t do well on my exams. But I didn’t give up easily. Instead, I put more efforts on my weakness and I overcame the difficulty I had. Secondly, I learned how to take care of myself and how to initiate new relationship with others, as well as how to adjust myself in new environments. That is why I make a lot of friends in my community. I am also an enthusiastic person who would like to help and motive other students. I think I can be a good role model for other younger students.

Have you gone to college? Does going to college really mean that you are more intelligent than someone who didn’t go to college? Well, in “Blue Collar Brilliance”, the author Mike Rose believes that the amount of schooling a person completes does not necessarily measure their intelligence level. Many people believe that those who have completed and earned a college degree are more intelligent than those who haven’t. I agree with Rose that this isn’t always the case. Education is not only something that we can gain in school, but in our everyday lives.

The inductees consisted of incoming juniors and seniors who met the chapter’s eligibility requirements for membership. Students must carry a 3.4 grade point average (GPA) or higher, demonstrate the qualities of character, leadership, and service, and not have any disciplinary referrals during the current or previous school years to qualify.

Over many centuries, society tends to frame the obscene differences to antagonize and alienate each other whether it's about a political or religious view, social reasons, or financial situations. In “Blue Collar Brilliance”, Mike Rose provides an invigorating story to persuade his audience to understand that having a blue collar job compared to a white-collar job does not determine how smart someone is. Rose uses anecdotes, rhetorical question, and logos to show that blue-collar workers learn just as much without a formal education.

There had never been and there would never be someone exactly like Chris McCandless. Chris has a middle class background and stands out from his peers because he believes that society restrains his independence. He leaves his past life and wanders America heading toward the lonely Alaskan wilderness to find who he really is. He discovers ways of moving to Alaska despite leaving behind all of his possessions and social status. Chris’s sincerity and integrity earn the respect of the people he meets. He inspires people leave behind their old life and explore the country by documenting his experiences. Chris loves to challenge himself and after succeeding academically he finds purpose through self deprivation. Chris chooses Alaska because its'

Dr. Chris Barnes, a tall, burly man, with thick, jet black hair, and a husky figure, is the controller of all the social media in the society. He lives in the control center, but is never seen. Nobody knows who he is, or that he even exists. Dr. Barnes built the society from the ground up. As a child, Chris was an isolated outcast among his peers. While all his peers had their noses in their phones, he sat in the corner reading books. He had always felt lonely, and one day he decided that he would never be lonely again. Chris took everything he had read about in the books and channeled it into creating a society. It turned out to be much easier than he thought. All he had to do was put out an add on all the social media sites and people were
