We are now accepting applications for the 2006-07 Council. Council members are
college students who share their experiences with high school students, acting as
mentors for members and also answering questions for prospective members. Being on
the Council can offer a great leadership opportunity. Applications are due by June
30, and are available on the website. 2005-06 NSHSS Student Council Members would like to leave members with some end-of-year words of wisdom.
NSHSS Student Council Member Birmingham Southern College 2009 Greetings Members, I commend all of you on your acceptance to the NSHSS and your many accomplishments that are essential to the success of the Society. Not only does the NSHSS offer countless benefits valuable to outstanding students as yourself, it also enables talented individuals across the country to enjoy fellowship and be recognized through exciting membership events. I had the opportunity to dispel a few myths and divulge some truths I realized through my first-year experience of college by speaking to members at the Society's 2006 Scholar's Day in Washington D.C. In our nation's capital, I met several goal-orientated members on their way to academic achievement and the honorable Mr. Claes Nobel. I appreciate the Society's ongoing significant contributions to the advancement of education. Lastly, I wish you great success in all your academic endeavors. Best, Gary Crosby
Jessica Ho The College of New Jersey 2009 An American business executive and philanthropist was credited for once saying, "Hard work. There is no short cut." I learned this lesson the hard way this year when I took a course entitled Biology of the Eukaryotic Cell. Having been used to studying for about an hour for most tests, I had hoped that I could manage to get through this class by studying a little and counting on the rest of the material coming back to me as I took the exam. Unfortunately, this was not the case. After a disastrous first exam, I realized that, in order to succeed in this class, I would need to spend a lot more time and energy on studying. I dedicated almost 15 hours to studying. And, lesson learned, I felt more in control and was able to do better on the second exam. I know that all of you have already achieved great things through hard work and perseverance, but I want to remind you that you should never stop working hard. Many students find themselves blaming "senioritis" and the "freshman year adjustment period" for their weak performances in school. Be careful of these two things, especially the very contagious "senioritis." Set your goals, work hard, and never give up until you have achieved those goals and beyond! Good luck in all of your endeavors. Thank you, Jessica Ho |
