| Wow, there's some cutthroat competition at your school. In my school, it's just a popularity contest, the chances of several people competing for the same spots at the same school are slim at best.
I agree with Liist, NHS is pointless. In my school, you just fill out a form to become a member and then you get a pretty certificate saying you're a member and then you get to go to meetings every month where they tell you what you have to do to stay a member. The president just reads an agenda that the advisor typed up and takes attendance. Don't worry, colleges won't care much if you were president of NHS. It's just stupid. |
