Kamala school has a promotion ceremony yearly for 8th grade to recognize the 2 years that a 8th grader has been in junior high. In order to be in promotion a student must have these requirement. They must have at least a 2.0 GPA, Maintain a C average grade, must have 95 credits, and also have no more than three F’s in the 2 years we have been in junior high. If a student has bad behavior a student may lose their promotion privileges.
I strongly think Promotion is important in many ways for these reasons not only does my family get to see me on stage I get to be on stage with my friends that have been there for me threw out those 2 years. Students get awarded for the success they have accomplished. Students may participate in Six Flags Grad Night. They will get to do a activity with all their friends at the beach. Which the school provides activity such as a photo booth, taco man, sports equipment and etc. The students get to go on stage in front of all there family and with the friends and receive a award. Students that are not able to promote miss out on all these cool activity and may not go to the ceremony and watch their friends receive a award.

I maintained an A average up until my eleventh grade year, by doing so, I was recognized as a member of the National Honors Society. This current year, I was recognized by Augusta University in receiving an award for academic achievement. The year of 2013 I was awarded the Most Valuable Cheerleader on the Washington Wilkes Football-Competitive cheerleading squad. As for leadership positions, I was elected 4-H president in the fifth grade and student council president my eleventh grade year.
While only a small percentage of the entire workforce was able to participate in the event, its intention was to provide employees with something to strive toward. It was also rejuvenating for those given the opportunity to attend. The event was inspiring and left you with the feeling that you work for a great company and they do care about you; so much so that they are willing to spend a lot of money and provide you with a wonderful experience . The event also focused heavily on the driving force of the company: the students and helping them to improve and change their lives. Employees returned to work feeling inspired and ready to do just that. The event provided the company with an opportunity to invest in their employees, reward them, and make them feel

College is also about the connections that you make in your major and with your peers. A recent study found that students who were involved in extracurricular activities had a positive impact on how well college has fostered their career skills and development. Why sacrifice all of that for the sake of
Growing up my parents always taught my sister and I that we should always be grateful for what we had. Take care of all our toys and expensive things that they brought us. They taught us that you have to work hard for what you want and nothing is handed to you. Even though me and my sister always got what wanted we also knew that we worked for it and that made getting it even better. I believe my parents raised me pretty good. I always respected them and knew my limits, me and my sister had chores we had to do and if they weren't done by the end of the week we would have a consequence. This taught us responsibility and that in the real world if you don't do your job you would be fired or there would be a consequence you would have to pay. Lately I have noticed that a lot of kids in today's society are very ungrateful. They feel entitled and believe that they shouldn't have to work for anything. They think things should just be handed to them without any questions asked. I think I have a way to stop this rising trait in today's youth.
The best leadership accomplishment that demonstrates my potential to make significant contributions to the campus community and broader society is cheerleading. Cheerleading has made a huge impact on my life and has created many opportunities for me. It has paved the way for my high school career. Cheerleading provided me with opportunities to lead, volunteer, perform and show the athletic ability of our squad.
Prom Committee Personally, I would absolutely adore the oppurtunity to be a member of the prom committee for the 2016 year 11 prom for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I have an extremely creative streak and would relish in the chance to plan and think of new and unique ideas whilst working with and building off of the ideas of others to create a phenomenal finalised piece. Additionally, I don’t enjoy being a bystander and I dislike the idea of spectating when I could be participating and in general I strive to ivolve myself in as many opportunities that present themselves as possible and for this reason I am interested in doing more than simply attending the event but instead hope to play a major role in planning the event. From this I know that the sense of achievement and satisfaction for planning such a wonderful event would be immensly fulfilling and it would be a fond memory
Right now, most of you reading this are twenty somethings with extremely bright futures ahead of you. Many of you were the stars of your high school, if not area, if not state, if not country. Then you got here and things changed. All of a sudden, everything was challenging. From the first moment you got here you were in competition with all the other freshmen for spots in a fraternity, sorority, independent living group, or dorm. You compared SAT scores, compared achievements, and found that they, like you, were amazingly accomplished. Many were National Merit Scholars, AP Scholars, Governor’s School participants, Math Olympiad winners, Science Fair winners, and Scholarship recipients.
...hip students, we are making connections with each other. These connections can help us later in our careers when we are faced with a challenge. For example, if as a leader, I had an employee that was clearly distressed and could not help them cope, whether it is something in their professional or personal life, I know a quick email or phone call to Eric Swan, due to his counseling background and leadership classes can help me tremendously. Similarly, if I was ever in a situation where I needed some sort of help understanding the inner workings of a manufacturing team, Joel Marz could give me some valuable insight to lead my organization in a more efficient manner. Attending college and making these connections allows us all to expand our knowledge base. Using them beyond classes and assignments is a priceless tool that we all ought to keep in the back of our minds.

As a student of sixth grade, I am grateful to be given the chance to apply for National Junior Honors Society (NJHS). I get the chance to be an inductee for NJHS because I have gotten straight A’s my entire school career. To qualify as a member of NJHS, I think there are a few important qualities that an applicant needs to have. According to njhs.us, “The National Junior Honor Society is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character, and citizenship.”
On stage, I anticipated third place, but was once again stunned when I placed second. This whole experience was life changing. Working for the National FFA Convention, I developed a work ethic to stick to something, and to do my best, even if it seems impossible. I also gained communication skills, and the ability to work outside my comfort zone. Even now it is hard for me to interact with others, but this accomplishment taught me that I can do hard things and I can communicate effectively. I learned how to perform research and express my findings. This experience was also very valuable for it directed me to my career path. It opened up doors as to my abilities, and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams without fear. It taught me that failures happen, but enduring effort will turn failure into success. In my interviews, I learned that complete honesty is far better than false cover-ups. I became the person I am now because I was blessed with the experience. This project for some may be seen as a great award, but for me it's an invaluable occurrence which had more life skills and experience than a piece of paper can ever

Growing up I was always told that I had to attend college and be something great. So I guess in a sense I have to prove to myself and others that I can achieve this. When I graduate it will give me a piece of mind knowing that I did what I was destined to do. Graduating and receiving my degree will be one of my greatest accomplishments.
The practice of passing students with their peers to the next grade even though they have not met the academic requirements or performance standards is known as Social Promotion. The name "social" promotion came about because some believe that its best to focus on the student’s social and psychological well-being. (U.S. Department of Education, 1999). Although social promotion is tough to measure, school systems do not like admitting participating in the practice. Based on information from the American Federation of Teachers, many unprepared students were promoted in the past year (1997).
