The National Honor Society is a group whose members are known for their academic accomplishments, leadership, and integrity. This group is greatly prestigious and I am honored to be invited to apply. This group also contributes a great deal towards the community, which is something that I am interested in doing more of.

“Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the bottom goal- bottom line.” –Ray Lewis.

I’m not here to debate on whether you should make an impact on some one’s life I’m here to debate that student-athlete should be on honor roll to play in games.
