To be part of a community of inspired young men and women who are ready to make an impact on this world would be a great honor and responsibility. I will represent the Daniels community and the values engraved into the community by Bill Daniels; Leadership, respect, integrity, and endurance are just to name a few.

After reading The Shadow Scholar, an article from the Chronicle Review, I found myself beginning to question the state of the education system that has matured in the United States. As I continued to read the article, I began to wonder why students have resulted to hiring “academic ghost writers” to compose the students’ assignments for them. Is there such an emphasis on getting good grades that make students go the extra length to pay for their paper? After reviewing the article, I began to wonder

Good Morning, I do keep my scholar dollars by my desk. However, those are the ones that I have made to pass out to the students. I do not hold on to anyone's money because it is their responsibility. I know Chloe has very little money because one day she had found a big stack, and instead of turning it in, she added it to her scholar dollars.

Prior to accepting my nomination into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, I was hesitant on the legitimacy of the organization because the opportunities provided appeared to be too spectacular. After I accepted the nomination and learned a little bit about the organization at the first meeting held at Iowa state, I was intrigued about what other information I could learn from the induction ceremony about the society.

In the 20th century Milman Parry, an American classical scholar, began to draw on the work of the Analysts and Unitarians to establish a hypothesis of an oral Homeric tradition which would prove to be revolutionary.
