National Honor Society is stupid anyway. The fact that they can just overlook every sort of academic and community service activity I've done and put on that stupid application and just say, "No leadership experience, FAIL," is simply unbelievable. What, so if I work really hard on finding the cure for cancer, but never ever have any sort of leading force in the development of it, I don't get the credit? No. I get the credit, because I still did something.

I can gurantee you that half of the people who got inducted this morning will never lead anything while in National Honor Society. But the fact that they could twist words into making it seem that at one point sometime in their lives that they could have "lead" someone or someones, then that's good enough. So if I wrote, "lead 5th graders in tuning their instruments for an elementary strings concert," I would've made the cut? No. That's stupid. A leadership role is where you are consistently the voice of reason and people listen to that voice. Not just the one-time deals I'm sure several of the inductees wrote down. And if that's the case, I'm glad I'm not in the stupid organization.

Plus, who would want to volunterr 20+ hours and go to required meetings after school every now and then anyway? It's like, maybe I already have something important to do, but if I don't go to the meeting, I'll be kicked out?

No thanks. Me and Kristen will just hang out and have a life while everyone else at our lunch table is off being overachievers.
