...What I am Not... I am not the top of my class, I am not the star of the varsity soccer team and I am not the most popular student at Turpin High School. This does not mean that I am not an excellent candidate for National Honor Society. Without being all the things that I previously mentioned, I firmly believe that I possess great attributes that allow me to be a leader, a scholar, and a honorable student. I have perseverance.

Sometimes people feel it is easier to quit than to push forward but I “pushed on”. In the end, I did make the Varsity team. I did not take the easy way out when soccer became...

...Hi, I am Sophia Johnson and I am glad that I got the opportunity to apply to be in the National Junior Honor Society program. I have a big heart for helping others and I hope I can be in this program to help even more in my next year as an eighth grader. I am going to share with you a few traits of mine that makes me special. One of the reasons why I would be a good member in this group, is because I’m a very happy and positive person. In every situation I try to look at the positives versus the negatives.

As well as being a positive person, I am also a very kind person. You...

I volunteer for South Bronx United, where I serve as a youth tutor to high school students. I was also offered an opportunity to work as a tutor for the math department at BCC, seeing how well I did on the placement exam and both my Calculus courses, I declined the offer because of all the tasks I was doing. Lastly, I was offered an opportunity by general chemistry II professor to do research with him. The research is on “the Determination of chemical composition in rainwater and snow in different locations at Bronx Community College of City University of New York (BCC).” In the end, I decided not to do the research as I was trying to make going to classes, working and volunteering along studying and doing homework all happen.

Anti-evolution, the rise of pseudo sciences, and the renewed interest in the occult, all masquerading as science, are symptomatic of the poor job that is done explicating science as a process and a way of knowing. Disciplinary teaching emphasizes fact over concept. (Brophy, D.A. (2004) Every science discipline should be taught with a process base pervasive from the first to the last day of the course. Science teaching needs be revamped to provide an integrated, non-redundant exposition of the discipline focused on principles of which the theory of evolution is only one. Science must to be related both to technology and society. Teaching has to be directed to elicit the desired ends of education and not be regarded simply as a system to deliver fragments of knowledge. The participation of zoologists in delineating the discipline of science and countering pseudo science is essential. Scientists must become involved in science education and participate in updating teachers and insisting on their subject matter competence. University scientists must be concerned beyond the training of majors to provide...
