NHS Ceremony

We had the NHS (National Honor Society) Ceremony on Wednesday!! It was an unforgettable experience!!!

The National Honor Society (NHS) is a nationwide organization for high school students. Selection is based on four criteria: scholarship (academic achievement), leadership, service, and character. The National Honor Society requires some sort of service to the community, school, or other organizations.

Prefect duties at Old Portena

 

As one of the prefects, I go to Old Portena every Monday to talk to the girls and help out with anything they may need. Today I helped Paria, the sweetest little girl, with her homework for the week. However, last week I spent around two hours simply chatting with the girls and listened to them speak about their crushes, drama at school, life in boarding, and their hopes and goals for the future. At first I was actually very intimidated by the girls (In my opinion, preteen girls are some of the scariest people you will encounter) but I am so happy with how quickly they opened up to me. I have only had duty a handful of times this year but I already know that I will miss these girls very much when I have to graduate.
