For many schools, NHS will be an entirely different organization. It may be highly active at some and simply an honorary society at others. For this reason, I think that each person needs to take a look at what it means to them. I have seen many highly qualified students passed by at our school for silly reasons. We have students who have completed over 500 to 1000 hours of community service and are not selected, simply because they weren't worried about filling out all of the paper work. This doesn't make them less deserving. Take the honor for what it is worth. Keep giving of yourselves to help others and remember that you are the only person who really has the right to judge what you are accomplishing with your efforts.
