Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Just kidding -- but I did have a question.. Many of you CCers are probably in NHS - national honor society. What are some activities your NHS does for your school/community/ etc..</p>

2

<p>We do various fundrasiers for organizatons. We help with Dollars for Scholars, March of Dimes, etc. We have carwashes for a senior scholarship fund. And that’s about all we really do.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I see. In the previous years, our NHS hasn’t been very active, and I’m president this year so I really want to play an active role in the community. Unfortunately our town is really small – 1,000 people – so it’s a little hard to work at homeless shelters or places like that, but I really want to do more stuff! So far we do an annual blood drive with the red cross, red ribbon week, we’re in charge of mentoring (planning activities).</p>

<p>I didn’t apply for Hitler’s Youth, but here, they organize books on the shelves at the library, read books to little kids, and some other strange crap.</p>

<p>I don’t think that my old school even did anything. I think that they had to sign up for a couple of volunteer activities (usually with 10+ more volunteers than needed). Other than that though, they didn’t do anything.</p>

<p>we have</p>

<ol>
<li>tutored kids after school</li>
<li>run a canned food drive</li>
<li>babysat elementary/kindergarten students at their school functions</li>
<li>participated in walkathon’s</li>
</ol>

<p>we used to help with habitat for humanity, but they decided they didn’t really need our help any more.</p>

<p>I really don’t understand how you can compare NHS to the Hitler Youth…</p>

<p>*We do nothing. I just remembered that I am a member of NHS.</p>

<p>NHS is lame on the West Coast. Everyone does it, but it is absolutely worthless IMO. I have enough volunteer hours on my own, without needing to go to a club to do it…</p>

<p>our school does like nothing. we do a food drive, and that’s legit about it. a nhs group from another school in my area did a senior citizens prom at their high school. hahah i thought that sounded like a cool idea</p>
