<p>My school is having elections and i dont know if i should run. Does anyone have any experience in any position in NHS and can tell me what it was like? also does your school require you to make a lot of speeches because of your position (i hate public speaking)?</p>
<p>My school made us do a 3-5 minute speech for whatever office you want to run. And after that, you don’t do much public speaking…</p>
<p>I wanted to run, but I was absent that day…but I have friend who was an officer. Basically, you just organize some events, communicate with adults-students, and it’s not too much trouble. Go for it, if you are absolutely horrible at public speaking, run for treasurer or secretary or someone who doesn’t have to speak at meetings much.</p>
<p>I’m Vice President of my school’s NHS and all I had to do was write like 100 words on why I would like to be VP. That’s it! No speech or anything. </p>
<p>As for what NHS members do at our school… all we do is help at the open houses and tutor. Everyone tutors once a week (except the president who goes everyday) either before or after school. We have meetings maybe once a month, but we don’t really do anything there. </p>
<p>At the induction ceremony, all officers are individually recognized on stage, but the president is the only one who has to make a speech. So unless you are president, not that much public speaking at all.</p>
<p>I’m the historian for my school’s NHS club. We had to make a short “speech”. I put that in parentheses because most people didn’t actually make speeches. We had people dancing, juggling, singing, and doing other random stuff. It was VERY informal and fun! Those who did make speeches (I did) made them really witty and funny. I said a blurb about myself and what I could contribute blah blah blah and then read a series of (vey bad) haikus that made the crowd giggle, hahah. It was so much fun! Now that I think about it, I should have just made my whole thing one giant haiku… That would’ve been awesome.</p>
