Hopefully by the end you should know what P.R.I.D.E is. You should also know why you should follow P.R.I.D.E. First things first, what does P.R.I.D.E stand for?

Well just think about how all of the P.R.I.D.E characteristics tie into everyday life. Be prepared to complete tasks, be respectful everybody, intentional whenever doing something, and diligent and engaged in life. Now you may think that P.R.I.D.E isn’t that big of a deal, and I can see how you may feel that way but trust me when I say it is important. Lastly don’t think that P.R.I.D.E is lame or a rule. A lot of upcoming freshman think that things like this are lame or have no relevance to them. In actuality P.R.I.D.E more of a life style then a rule to follow. Fact is all P.R.I.D.E is ways you should present yourself. Just characteristics you should show in everyday life. So don’t think anybody is forcing you to follow P.R.I.D.E or that P.R.I.D.E is a rule. Just think of it as a way to go about your day. I really do suggest that you follow P.R.I.D.E; it will not only help you through high school, but also everyday life. I personally feel that P.R.I.D.E is a helpful tool. I don’t think of it as something you have to follow. I think of it more as something that should just come natural. Well I hope to see you following

To make a significant change in the world, countless hours of preparation, of work, and proactive cooperation with others are crucial for success. I partake in few extra-curricular activities, but I have dedicated years of my life to them all. On a regular week, I have to balance French club and National French Honor Society secretary duties, community service for National Honor Society, and additional choir practice for at least two hours after school each week (while sometimes performing community service with the choir as well). I want to become an engineer; so I take AP classes that are useful and interest me because I will need to know advanced math and science concepts in college. All of these extra-curricular activities and academics will become even more relevant when it is time for me to advance my future goals of pursuing a higher education and making significant efforts to aid the world by designing helpful technology with medical applications.

The National Honor Society, NHS, was officially started by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921.

I have chosen to do the National Honors Society, because it helped me throughout my junior and senior years in high school.
