I believe I have the ability to undertake this challenge because my grades have lead me to receive academic honors and offers. I was honored through my induction into the National Honors Society following after my junior year.

It is unbelievable that this year is my last year in Charlestown High School.

National Honor Society honors students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Being nominated to become a member of the National Honor Society is a highly prestigious honor, and I am very grateful to be a candidate.

It’s your final year of high school and the year is about a third of the way through. Your grades have been great so far and holding strong but, lately you’ve been feeling tired of school, are ready to get it over with and just want to graduate now. These are your first symptoms of senioritis. Senioritis is a crippling disease that strikes most high school students early in their senior year and sometimes, on more rare occasions, it even hits them earlier on at the end of their junior year.

Senioritis is a serious problem that could possibly cause grades to drop, college essays to be put off until right before the deadline and for some, receiving detentions from skipping class.
