National Honors Society

The National Honors Induction was presented tonight at 6:30. I really wasn't planning on attending this ceremony because I didn't think it was a big deal/honor. I decided to attend the ceremony and decked myself in aloha wear (as suggested in the letter). As I got closer to the chapel I noticed many people really dressed up for this and everyone looked stunning. We all sat down and the principal, president, mr. dang, peter, and Mrs. Medrano gave speeches and recognized our achievements. Our names were called, and we stood up by tens to recieve our certificates from Mr. Dang and shook hands with Dr. Scott & Kevin Conway. After thirty minutes of speeches and handing out certificates, I escaped the chapel and ran for the FREE food.

I realized how supportive parents and relatives were. Every single parent had a lei for their sons/daughters. However, I stood there lei-less. I completely didn't expect anything because I was reminded of the induction ceremony just last night.

So how important is the NHS? I'm hearing from others that it isn't really crucial to be apart of this club. Colleges don't take NHS into great consideration. But I remember at the beginning of freshman year my mom telling me to get good grades so I can be apart of NHS. So therefore, I feel pretty proud to be apart of NHS and that I held my promise to my mom that I would get into NHS. Additional to the induction, I also received a cool certificate. sweet!
