The document discusses dating among teenagers. It defines dating as building relationships and caring for others, not just about sex. Dating should involve getting to know many people through group activities, remaining steady through highs and lows, and keeping one's own standards. Group dating relieves pressure and provides safety while learning about relationships. The dangers of early pairing include violence, heartache, and poor choices, so teenagers should date only when comfortable and use group activities to socialize.Houston Yates Letter of Recommendation

- 1. Shannen Griffiths I am extremely thankful to be given the opportunity to become a member of the National Honor Society. I feel the mission and acts of this elite club reflect my own personal beliefs. I believe that because of this, my membership will further the impact that this organization has created. One of the main focuses of National Honor Society is academics. I have excelled in my academics all throughout school. My sophomore of high school I finished with a esteemed grade point average. To exemplify my efforts I have put forth into my education, I challenge myself with AP and honors classes. Grades have always been very important to me because they demonstrate the effort you put in and the knowledge that you have gained. Not only in school do I strive to perform to my best abilities, I try to set a good example of character and attitude. Leadership is always something that has felt natural to me. I have been in many roles of leader from being captain of the basketball team to leading group discussion in socratic seminars. I find joy in helping others so we can all come together and reach our goal as a team. Leadership is not about one person deciding for all. A leader is more of a moderator, listening and taking account of other people's opinions. Leadership and character go hand in hand. I have demonstrated my character by joining the peer helpers club at my school. In peer helpers, we enforce staying away from illegal and harmful substances such as non prescription drugs and cigarettes. In peer helpers, I have volunteered to go on the tobacco tour to the grade schools where we teach younger kids about the dangers of tobacco. The club also helps fight bullying. Peer helpers is full of kids who just want to help other students live their fullest lives. I have been so lucky to be surrounded by like minded people to share ideas and build on each other's character. Similar to peer helpers, I am also involved in freshman mentor program. FMP is a volunteer based program where
- 2. upperclassmen have the chance to help the freshmen adjust to the environment that high school is. All in all I show excellence in character which helps with my already outstanding academics and leadership. Through these qualities I have been able to become part of a volunteer community and better myself as person. I believe that joining Nation Honor Society will not only improve myself but that I can help make a bigger difference in my community. It will also play a pivotal role in my ability to complete and further my acedemic career. Thank you for this opportunity.
