The day I decide to recommence blogging is coincidentally the day that I want to make posts about things.

Today I got inducted to the National Honor Society. The only requirements were to a. be an upper classman and b. have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Then basically you need to serve at least 20 hours within the school year to maintain your status and get a gold tassel on your graduation cap. It also looks good on applications for things. So basically that is why the majority of people there were there.

I suppose my personal reasons for accepting the invitation to join the NHS was because I volunteer anyway so why not? But maybe I shall also take it as a reminder to make sure I am volunteering. Though with backstage crew I technically already have all my hours filled.

When first at the induction I felt very anxious because I was surrounded with people who make me feel unhappy, insignificant, bleh bleh bleh. But friends showed up and the ceremony was humorously conducted so it was okay.

So far two good things have come of NHS. I mentor a freshman named Haley on Tuesdays during seminar and while she seems quite independent it's nice to meet new people and just be there for someone just in case they need school help or advice. Secondly, at the ceremony I saw my fifth grade teacher for the first time in a long long while! Immediately pleasant fifth grade memories flooded my brain and I recalled them to him and gave him a hug. That was a very good year in the life of Abi.
