| Character, Leadership, Service Since I have already qualified academically for this group (twice), I shall now shamelessly brag in a concise, relevant manner. I must say that I am one of the most honest people I know, and modest. Although not religious in any way, I readily confess my sins, aware and prepared for any consequences that may entail. At least I don�t steal from Volunteers of America thrift stores like some of the members of this illustrious organization (I have names-just ask). Like any human, I have lied on occasion (I don�t sugarcoat it as a fib either, an untruth is a lie) and I have come clean on most of them, and I try to avoid duplicity whenever possible, since it is hard to keep track of falsehoods. Here, I will further demonstrate candor, by stating that I do not participate in church activities, of any denomination, at all: I do not participate in church activities, of any denomination, at all. I�m not going to fabricate any either, like still more upstanding young people in the National Honor Society right now, and, undoubtedly, some current applicants. However, I am in the process of enrolling in the Church of Scientology, under the guidance of current member Chris McEntee. As for general service, I believe my activity form gives an accurate account of my dutiful benevolence toward my fellow man. The one section regarding �putting up with my Dad� may seem ostentatious, but is, in fact an understatement in terms and my stepmother is an excellent corroboration source on that issue. His scrutiny is an iniquity I wish upon no one. In regards to other service, I frequently make monetary contributions to worthwhile causes, but do not have the time to exert physical effort into similar projects. I would assert, not outrageously, that I do not have as much power as a leader as proficient as I is capable of wielding. That is why I planned to run for mayor of the City of Rochester in the most recent elections. I soon discovered some irreverent clause in municipal legislation maintaining that a candidate must attain an age of at least 18, which I have not, to date. This kind of inflammatory edict seems specifically targeted at me, and makes me question the legitimacy of democracy. I was going to get government hours too. In school, I lead the Masterminds team as the only current senior member, and most experienced. Also, as a foolish young lad, I was involved with the Boy Scouts, and in my short stay, I attained the rank of Webelos, First Year, in which I did many service-laden activities. I say I was foolish, because at the time, I had not fully developed my agnostic beliefs toward monotheism, which does not sit well with the rather strict Christian tendencies of that particular organization. The real reason I terminated my involvement was the introduction of the abhorrent practice of homework in my academic life. There was nothing gradual about it either, third grade was an adventure in immersion techniques, and to this day the class of 2002 has been a guinea pig (I�m not insulting any Italian officers of the law here) for many educational experiments, with mixed results. I believe I am more than qualified for the National Honor Society through my unique aptitude in each category considered for acceptance, and I await a response from the powers that be. Did I mention my reticence? |
