M&M was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society at her school. She had to apply for it by writing an essay and describing service activities she has participated in. They also had to have a certain GPA to be considered. Now over the next year she has to give a certain number of hours of service throughout the school year. Quite a few of her friends also were inducted so it should be a fun group for her to participate in.
My favorite part of the induction ceremony was when the current NJHS officers (who are currently 9th graders) each got up and spoke about one of the character traits that the society focuses their service on. One of the officers got up and spoke about the character trait of "scholarship" and how important and nice it is for those about to go into college to be able to apply for and earn scholarships to help pay for their college. I just don't think that that was the correct definition of the word scholarship that they were looking for! I just sat there the whole time during her speech, shaking my head and smiling to myself. I think that next time the teacher/administrator in charge of the ceremony should review and/or help the kids with their speeches!
