NHS (re)induction

Today I was inducted into the National Honor Society in ISK. I feel proud and grateful to be a part of this demanding organization, and I'm looking forward to participating in it.

NHS's goal this year is to raise enough money to provide a scholarship for a Masai girl to be able to be sent to school. I'm really happy to be able to help because a lot of Masai girls are forced into early marriages and are denied the chance to pursue a full education. I'm thrilled to know that we are working with a local Masai group of women who save these girls, and our collaboration can really make a difference in the local community.

My goal this year is to really give back to the community in any way I can, either through volunteering my time or skills, because I want to make a difference... no matter how small it might be. I also want to be able to assert myself and contribute ideas because I usually tend to blend in with the wallpaper. This will be a particularly grueling challenge because I am shy and avoid any form of public spotlights.

NHS is also my incentive to working harder throughout the year. There are a lot of values to uphold, especially those relating to character, leadership, service, and scholarship - the four pillars of NHS.
