National Honors Society is an amazing opportunity to be chosen for. By being accepted, it shows that the hard work that I have done in the classroom, and in the community have done well for not only the community but for myself as a person. Since I have started High-school, I have done many volunteer hours at my church. I have done many things such as help lead game-time for the little ones during a learning program called Awana.

I would first like to say nice to meet you and thank you for your service in the Air Force. In your post I noticed you mentioned that you are a duck hunter and that you also garden in you off time. I was wondering when you first took an interest in those two things and how long have you been doing it for. As an LSU Tigers fan who did you find more entertaining to watch this year the football team or the basketball team with all the hype surrounding Ben Simmons.

Some well-meaning parents just didn 't know where they could turn, they were at a cross wind, a crossroad at what to do with the education and the means they had and were given at time. Parents did the best they could and they felt that they were doing the right thing. Criticism is one thing, but parents need help not hardship. Regardless of whether or not a disability, there is stress in raising up the family.
