Re: National Honors Society
Well, I'm going to say this as kindly as I can. I was turned down for NHS because I lacked leadership skills. Yeah...

Pretty much, I have found that none of my friends who were in NHS had any residual effects sans great/fun memories from participation. It will help you get into college if you're borderline, and it's a great place to make friends and have fun while helping. Past that, there's no like, special thing in college for NHS'ers. You can put it on your resume, but past college, the advisers suggest you leave off the HS stuff unless it's directly related to your major. (ex. I was in FIRST in HS so I've been working engineering for 8 years now)

Good luck and congratulations!
