The opportunity to become a member of the National Honor Society (NHS) is an extreme honor. I realize that my academic success is just the initial requirement for becoming a member. In addition to strong academics and a commitment to learning‚ the NHS also requires service‚ leadership‚ and character to recognize individuals that are actively contributing to both school and the community. I am not only proud of my accomplishments in all four of these pillars‚ but also by the positive contributions

HONOR KILLING –“No Honor in Killing” In Pakistan and around the world‚ crimes against women in the name of honor have been occurring for long time but the level of exposure and coverage given to such crimes was not there until a decade ago. One does not find any discussion or usage of the term “Honor” or “Honor Killing” in the Print or Electronic Media 15 or 20 years back.

The four pillars of National Honors Society‚ scholarship‚ service‚ leadership‚ and character‚ have paved a path for me as a student and as a person.

I try to please people and make sure they are always happy and I now know it is most important to give back to the community who
