The Honors College

My post secondary goal after high school is to go to the Vet Tech Institute of Pittsburgh to become a veterinarian technician within a span of eighteen months. I am hoping this Honors English course will help to improve my writing skills, note taking skills, and get me use to the type of things I will experience in college. If I were to improve as a writer it would benefit me by improving my ability to do lab write-ups. If I incorporate my grammar skills into my vocabulary it will also benefit me

The quote by Oscar Wilde, “ Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” is quite relevant to my education in history. I always strive to learn and study more than just the known history and instead try to find the hidden history behind my topic. Most people when studying or researching history on a specific topic go with the known resources such as the history channel or brittanica, whereas when I research a specific topic I try to find military and government documents that show a different point

right to hold academically advanced kids back. All schools should be required to offer the same amount of advanced classes, such as honors classes, AP classes, or even foreign language classes. Every student should have the opportunity to take the classes that suit him or her academically and should have the right to take any class that will help prepare them for college.

Our school was on the need for a display of diverse Hispanic cultures. For example, the school's student profile tends to show a racial disbursement of “51% African American, 40.4% Hispanic, and 4.5% White.” Additionally, that “40.4% Hispanic” for students is only “Mexicans.” Taking this issue, Spanish Honor Society (SHS) presents students with

Upon entering high school, I hoped that one day I would get the chance to apply for the National Honor Society. Now that the day is finally here, I believe it is such a high honor to be considered in the company of so many students whom I admire for their impeccable intellect. I would like to become a National Honor Society member because I believe it will open me up to several opportunities in my community and denote all the hard work and effort I have put into my school. As of now, my role in my

Many only see the National Honor Society as an organization that will look excellent on college applications, and although that may be true, the National Honor Society is not an organization that can be taken so lightly. The National Honor Society is so much more than a scholarship-granting organization, the NHS is an organization that helps develop the requisite for render service and the development of leadership and character. The growth and success of the NHS relies on not only its members, but

What most distinguishes me as a candidate is my passion to learn. I want to go to college so that I can learn more about the world and the things in it that are interesting. Specifically, I want to go to the Calhoun Honors College because of its focus on learning. There are smaller class sizes, interesting seminars, opportunities for studying abroad, and more intensive curriculums. I want to dig deeper into subjects that I know I like, and learn about others that I might come to like. At the moment

When I get older and start pursuing a career I would like to become an actuary. Being an actuary involves doing math to find the financial consequences of risk, usually for insurance companies or for pension programs. This means that actuaries will take certain factors to calculate how much companies should pay for someone's pension or how much they should charge to insure something. I think this job is great for me because I greatly enjoy doing math. Also, multiple career quizzes said finances

found in a National Honor Society member. I believe that I possess all of these characteristics and should be given the honor of receiving this NHS scholarship. The first characteristic scholarship. Scholarship is best defined as the academic quality of a particular student. All National Honor Society members are required to maintain a 3.5 GPA. I have worked hard to maintain a 3.95 GPA, and I have received honor acknowledgement every semester since I started at Calvert Hall College High School. The
