Disappointed

I'm disappointed. i really wanted to volunteer at the library for my volunteering hours for the National Honors Society but my schedule can't fit with their hours. They basically said they couldn't find an opportunity to match my needs. I have to say I was kind of upset.

That was my number one choice, but sadly it is not meant to be. This is where I would enter the 'everything happens for a reason' cliche. 

I searched and searched this local site for volunteer opportunities. i feel like i'm being too picky with this volunteer stuff. Yes, I should do something where I feel as though I am happy to serve, but I read something earlier about familiarity. 

"You have to be comfortable being uncomfortable."-Jillian Micheals?

Jump into new opportunities and experiences. And that's what I'm going to do with this volunteering thing. 

I might learn something incredible about myself or even learn something incredible about someone else. 

“Familiarity can provide the misguided illusion of understanding. Assume nothing.” -Truth Devour 

I just love my quotes! 

So we'll see what I'll end up doing. And I'll blog all about it. See you soon ladies and gentlemen. 

Cue happy dance!

Hey, hey you. Remember how I told you guys that I recently had the opportunity and was eligible for the National Honors Society. Well, if you don't that's fine. I'll wait while you read that post.

Well, the induction happened on September 26th. And guess who was there? ME.

Yup, that's right was accepted into the National Honors Society (NHS).

Cue Happy dance. 

People were talking about how it was such a give-me but I worked hard even when people slacked off. This opportunity it was presented as a give-me but I worked to be given the opportunity.

So in short, hush to my fellow classmates that don't think this is a big deal. 

The induction was short and simple. It was fun. I got to eat some chocolate cake and chatted with friends. 

So the countdown to get volunteer hours starts now. I have to have 15 hours of volunteer hours before the semester's end. I applied to volunteer at my local libraries and I should hear some  news about how that's going very soon (early next week). Fingers crossed that I get enough credible hours by mid-December.

 See you very soon. It's fall break so I'll be blogging twice as much.

Volunteering!

Recently I found out that I was edible for the National Honor's Society at my high school. I was so happy and proud of myself. I didn't quite know what the National  Honor's Society (NHS) was but I was interested in what it was about. I had no idea when I went to recruiting meeting that NHS had anything to do with volunteering.

I guess I'm just that oblivious about my school's extracurricular activities.

I also didn't know that it was such a big deal either. I guess I should have now based on the "National" part. The principal said it is a great opportunity and we should definitely sign up which translate into you need to get in this club. I been reading a bunch about volunteering. Yeah, it sounds crazy but I have been researching about volunteering instead of getting my butt up and actually volunteering.

My friends and I have been talking about what volunteering projects we are thinking about doing once we get in the NHS. To be honest, we don't have join the NHS to volunteer in our community.

That's why my friends were talking about volunteering together even if we don't all get in the NHS. And hopefully, we do get in.
