Taylor Heskett Professor Raker English 101 January 16th 2013 Peers, Problems and a Presidency “Taylor you’d be great for this position!” I barely heard while I was counting down the seconds until my High school History class was over. “What did you say?” I proclaimed. My teacher, Mrs. Mckannan, elaborated her point by explaining that the election for Senior Class officers was approaching. I had always been a part of committees and clubs throughout High School but never before considered running for Senior Class office. Mrs. Mckannan said there was a major lack of interest this year and very few students were running.
So it’s a good idea to have a good grade in orchestra now and through high school.

I really like my goals and hope to accomplish them, and I hope everyone has goals and wants to accomplish them

When one thinks of democracy, one thing pops into their head almost immediately – voting. Voting is something that has become extremely common in a typical American high school. One way that democracy is promoted throughout high schools is giving students the opportunity to run for student council representatives and become president, vice president, historian, and even secretary. They’re put on a ballot against their fellow classmates and are then elected into position by their peers. Another way that high schools promote democracy is through the practice of Homecoming Week.
Their starting line up consists of two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore, all who were part of the championship team last year. This experienced combination of players will be a lethal hit to any team that is in their way. Russ Smith is the driving force that propels this team. He has all the skills it takes to keep the team together and has helped amass such a great run at the end of their season, with a 42-point outbreak against Houston two weeks earlier. The Louisville Cardinals are not going down this year; they will fly all the way to the top.

Everlasting Blossom Graduation is the most important time in a young scholar’s life.

Graduation is a rite of passage that every person should go through no matter if you are young or old. I can tell you from experience that graduating from middle and high school was great but graduating from college was the BEST memory of all time. In the fall of 2006, I started my first year of college at the University of Illinois at Springfield.
It was not until my Sunday school teacher told me that "Everyone falls sometime in life; it is the strong and determined that will get back up and start over again". From that very moment I did my best at whatever I did, whether school, sports, or being a leader. The second time I repeated the 7th grade I achieved A/B honor roll the entire year. Due to my accomplishment, the principal offered me the opportunity of being placed in my correct grade. Though this was a wonderful opportunity I decided to decline the offer.
To be inducted into the National Honors Society, to me, would be my greatest accomplishment in Lenape High School. To know that my intense hard work paid off in the end would institute the self-confidence in myself in which I know that I can take the world by storm. Growing up in the shadows of two brilliant older siblings, shining both in academics as well as athleticism I’ve always had to fight to make my name prominent in my family.

Now the question lies before me: “why should you be inducted into the National Honors Society?” The National Honors Society is an organization that only exceptional students and members of the community are inducted.
Many students who failed were “A Students” and never failed a test before this. All that matters is that I finally passed. It took four tries but I have a lot of determination and the reward was the Advanced Regents Diploma for High School that I will now live with
