National Honor Society Narrative Report

Going into the nursing program at Colorado Christian University means so much to me. I have been to a couple different colleges but at that time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to go for. Now, I know exactly what my goal is and what I want to achieve with school. I currently work as a Hospice CNA, I love my job. I will be the first out of my parents and mothers side of the family to graduate from a four year college. Also, being a nurse is something I’ve always dreamed about. Working as a hospice CNA has really made me value life and has opened my eyes to nursing. I love being there for my patients and their families. I truly feel like this is my purpose on earth to help others. I feel so rewarded to be able to take care of these people that cannot

During my undergraduate years in college I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to become when I “grew up”. I would study various professions and never felt like anything fit for me. One evening I sat down with my aunt, a nurse, and I was talking to her about how I couldn’t decide on a major and how frustrating it was to be in college feeling as if I did not have any direction. She looked at me with complete surprise on her face and said, “You aren’t applying for nursing school?” I stared at her for a moment because I was confused as to why she would ask me that. She chuckled and proceeded to tell me that she had always assumed that I would be a nurse because I spent several years of my life taking care of my 3 year old cousin who had cancer.

A goal that one day I will be someone's Nurse Anesthetist, administering anesthesia and saving lives. Although, becoming a regular Registered Nurse had crossed my mind but I wanted something more. I wanted to take my career a bit further. Doing something that would change an individual's life in a more impactful way that was life or death and "I" was "their" life. With that being said, I have led my educational journey in a way that steered me toward that nursing goal. However, I was unable to obtain a BSN from my school due to information not being provided to me about our new program. Therefore, my hand was forced. I had to reapply to schools in order to get my goals on track and unfortunately that called for a break between my education. Now, I can sit here and say I enjoyed my break but that would be me being facetious. Instead, it was a time of confusion and a loss of hope, in a sense. However, everything happens for a reason in my opinion and the reason for me saying that is because I was able to have the opportunity to speak with an individual in my same shoes. I was working at a clothing store and was conversing with a coworker who happened to be in my EXACT

As seniors in high-school we are always asked about what career we want to pursuit,and where we want to take our lives. I began thinking about what I like and what subjects I was good at. I found out I loved math and science and was good at them too. Then I knew that the health field was really for me. I began searching for ways for me to see if I really liked it, so I applied to go to scrubs health camp at Augsburg college near my house. I really liked it and saw that my love for kids had me leaning to becoming a pediatrician. I had my doubts on that also because of the number of years of schooling, and one day I stumbled upon a pediatric nurse practitioner occupation and began reading about it. I loved it so much that

I am genuinely honored to be one of the few students considered for acceptance to the State College Area High School chapter of the National Honor Society. I feel that my hard work and dedication in academics is beginning to show through. Throughout my life, I have shown drive and devotion for everything in which I have been involved, ranging from athletics to academics. My mentality has always been focused on helping others. For this reason, I aspire to become an orthopedic surgeon so that my career will evolve around helping others to get the most out of their lives. My summer will be spent volunteering at Phoenix Rehab for fourteen hours each week as it will allow me to begin providing care to the community. Currently holding an unweighted

It is an honor be part of the Geography department at Frostburg, and earned a 4.0 GPA in my first semester at Frostburg State University, and getting accepted into the National Honor Society. I was never an honors students. In fact, growing up involved a life of setbacks and challenges. School was very difficult for me. I was held back a year in first grade, and placed in self-contained special education classes, I been diagnosed with severe ADD and learning disabilities. While in elementary school, at one of my I.E.P meetings, the teachers told my parents that I would never make it to college and that as a teenager I could get caught up in drugs and possibly be suicidal, And, that I would need medications and to see therapists. Also, the

On Thursday, 07/09/2015, at approximately 1722 hours, I, Deputy Stacy Stark #1815, responded to 147 Hillendale Dr., Murphysboro, IL 62966 to speak with the reporting party, Gary W. Darnell (M/W, DOB: 07/10/1956) and his wife, also the victim, Jane M. Darnell (F/W, DOB: 03-31-1958) about a reckless driving complaint. Jackson County Dispatch received the call for service via a non-emergency line at the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.

My junior year of highschool my best friend, Moriah and I were nominated to be in the National Honor Society. Unlike Moriah, I was too cocky and believed just because I had the good grades and was a cheerleader that I would be accepted into the group. I soon came to find out that that was not the case at all. I was at first baffled to my rejection into the group, but I should have seen it coming. I had no participation in community service, no leadership responsibilities in school or outside of school, and barely any accomplishments. I was devastated that my friend was admitted and I had missed my only shot of being in the National Honor Society. With this in mind, I decided to change my mindset for the better. I never thought to give back

I am honored to be a candidate for the National Junior Honor Society. This organization means a lot to me. In elementary school, I hadn’t really put much effort into my work because I didn’t know that it would make such a difference in my life. However, in the fourth grade, I realized that what I did would make an impact on the rest of my education. If I didn’t do well then, I wouldn’t make it into honor classes or AP classes, meaning I couldn’t get the higher education I desired. I then began to work harder and my determination increased. My hard work paid off because during my sixth grade graduation, I was one of two students that received the gold for the President’s Education Awards Program (PEAP). Knowing that all the effort was

The Honor Guard tryouts, they were a great deal to those wanting to be the best of the best. You had to train and endure everything that was thrown at you, prepared or not. Everyone that makes it goes it by showing off every movement and command they have learned. Even still you can’t prepare for everything. Laubach had always said throughout the process for training and performing the event. That was to work hard and have the endurance to continue on, even when you do not want to. I tell that to people today when they feel like they can’t continue on.

After I turned in my application, I wasn’t sure that I wouldn’t be accepted. Due to the fact I didn’t even think my grades were even good enough to get a letter for any honor society. Eighth grade year wasn’t my best year, grade wise. I didn’t think I was capable of getting honor roll at all,let alone for a honor society. Which during my eighth grade year, they weren’t. But my freshman year I tried to get good grades. And getting that letter showed me that I was capable of As and Bs,maybe a C+ too. Just getting the letter was enough.

In my Middle School years, I went to E.L. Wright Middle school, that year, I have more responsibilities and more class and work to do. In my 7th and 8th grade year, I accomplished the A/B Honor Roll for all school year. In those years at high school ever since the speech, I tend myself to care about my grade and making the highest grade. In 7th grade I apply to the AVID Program with Mr. Quitter, he changes my work ethic. He introduced me to Cornell Notes, writing on the right side of the paper. He introduced me to college, and at that time, I now know that college was very expensive. Even though he’s short but he did a lot to the avid program a success. After he left in my 8th year, miss. Liandra Davis took over, but she is strict today. Having

It started when my father was in the hospital. I saw him lying on the off-white, uncomfortable bed sheets in such discomfort that my only hopes were to reduce his suffrage and alleviate any mental, physical, or emotional agony that arises. From this point on, to this day, I know I want to attend a university to pursue my goal of becoming a Nurse. Over the course of high school, I have been searching for a college with top notch academics and a captivating community enriched with passion and success; the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has the embodiment of such an institution. The moment I stepped foot on the campus of University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, I envisioned my future path, and I came to discover that UW Oshkosh is “Where Marisah

Before Arizona College my situation was not so great, I was at a dead end job for 5 years and had a family of 5 to support and financially I was not happy. I always kept telling myself I needed to go back and finish nursing school as I had intended to do back in 2010. Ever since high school I have been seeking to go back to nursing school but life kept getting in the way. Then in 2011 tragedy struck my life when my mom passed away unexpectedly then in 2015 my dad passed away. Before my dad had passed I had promised him I would go back to school and become a nurse. After that the doors started opening up and that’s when I got accepted into the nursing program at Arizona College

A semester into school, I was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Honor society. I nervously attended my first meeting to see what it was about. I was immediately inspired. Talks of community service, volunteering, and research projects motivated me to get more out of
