Personal Narrative: My Induction Into The National Honor Society

401 Words2 Pages

My sophomore year in high school, I was nominated to be inducted into the National Honor Society. It was an honor to be chosen, seeing that the teachers had to nominate you. Now all I had to do was be accepted. Induction into the National Honor Society required an essay telling about yourself and why you should be chosen. I didn’t think I was very good at telling “why” I should be chosen. Despite that, I didn’t think I was very good at writing period. My first thought was to find someone older who could possibly write me a strong essay that would get me in for sure. My mom called my cousin to see if she could write the essay for me and she agreed to it. When I received her rough draft I was beyond disappointed. I couldn’t tell if my cousin

  • Personal Narrative: My Sorority

    383 Words  | 2 Pages

    Outside of my sorority, I am involved in a few different things. I am a Peer Adviser, which has taught me so much about how to make the Northwestern community welcoming, as well as how to discuss difficult topics such as sexual assault and mental health. Helping students work through these sensitive issues and helping them find the resources they need all while navigating the novelty of college life has given me a wide variety of skills that I believe translate directly to sorority life. I also am highly involved in Northwestern’s dance community. I am a member of New Movement Project, a group of dance majors and minors that coordinates dance events and organization for both the dance department and Northwestern’s many dance groups.

  • Personal Narrative: Why I Am Born At Penn

    One of the many reasons I am looking primarily at Penn. State for college is the number of different, unique people that I can connect with. I have lived most of my life as the son of a member of the United States Air Force, and the diversity in the places that I have lived and the diversity of the people who lived there have deeply shaped who I am. I have consistently lived with people of different religions, different races, and different heritages throughout most of my life, and some of their ideas and ideals have been passed along to me. Once my father retired from the Air Force, I found out how much I had taken this diversity for granted.

    The age-old threshold of self-responsibility is something every teenager passes when moving on from high school. I had a taste of this life when participating in the Carnegie Mellon University Pre-College Program during this last summer. I was part of the National High School Game Academy, where we learned about game development and made our own video games. Life on campus was liberating, yet stressful, as I learned there were many entertaining activities as well as deadlines to meet during this six week program. Temptations such as clubs and amusement park trips plagued my entire stay on campus.

    My Educational Success while attending Northeastern Illinois University In 1988, right after high school, I enrolled into Northeastern Illinois University.

I chose this field because I felt that many of my friends were left to deal with circumstances that no child should live with, without someone guiding them through the trauma and pain in healing so that they might become functioning adults and parents with fewer complications in society. I was excited to follow my dream; during this time, I was a young married teenager with a year old child.

    My black and white transcript reflects that I have excelled in all subjects, but what it does not reflect is what “gray area” subject I have dedicated the most time to understand. Social science has caused me to struggle the most because it is a process of number and factual memorization. From vice presidents to court cases, I have spent countless hours learning major concepts and minor details of world and American history. Learning from others’ pasts is essential in a society’s amount of progress and this concept of learn from others’ mistakes is one of the main reasons history is taught in schools and has been a motto I have learned to live by.

    During my freshman year, I was largely unwilling to try new experiences and opportunities and to step outside of my comfort zone. I was more of a reserved person and would focus primarily on my academics rather than extra curricular activities or helping out in the community. If something wasn’t required, I likely would not have done it. As I moved through freshman and sophomore year, I began to see all the opportunities that the school and other organizations were providing the students and the benefits of partaking in such activities. As a sophomore, I decided to begin branching out and expanding my horizons.
