I appreciate the National Junior Honor Society for inviting me to apply. I would be truly honored to join. One reason I would fit into NJHS is because of my effort and determination. I squeeze time in my advisory to do homework, so I can extensively work on academics after school. I spent a lot of time and determination to be considered for NJHS, like staying strong with my grades and being persistent even if I didn’t do well on a test. I believe that I demonstrate perseverance since I am able to not only get myself out of obstacles but also help my friends and peers with theirs too. I will also contribute my flexibility and integrity to the group. Often, I am met with complex schedule changes due to my jazz band practice and off-campus sports training, while also attending meetings and classes on time and also keep a positive attitude even when those around us are moody. There are many qualities of a great leader, and I hope to share the ones that I hold with the community around me. Making people smile is one of the things I love most, and I wish to share positivity around the community. I wish to join NJHS with other junior leaders, share my traits, and learn from others.

Love & Gelato is a heartbreaking, yet healing book written by Jenna Evans Welch. The book was published in 2016 and is popular among tweens and teens. It is about Lina, a 16-year-old high school student who spends the summer in Tuscany, Italy after her mom passed away. She discovers that there’s so much more to Italy then she could’ve ever imagined as she follows the directions of a journal her mom left for her.

She is making noodles for herself. The water bubbles and boils like the laugh of a child and the
thick udon noodles swirl slightly in the pot. She portions out a generous chunk of the stew, making sure to pick out the sharp bony pieces. The smell of chili oil and tender beef fills the tiny apartment, wrapping
around her like a familiar embrace.

The forest took her, small and thin. A shadow lost in bark and skin. No name was whispered on the breeze. Just echoes tangled in the trees.
