Homeschool Honor Society
I have mixed emotions about this.
I had no idea that having the National Honor Society on your resume was that helpful in college admissions. And I feel that the absence of that kind of external judgement is one of the pluses of homeschooling , at least for some students.
I may look into it anyway.
(Before Embot ‘outs’ me, I’ll jump in and admit that I can be smug and maybe even a little bitter, because I knew I was smarter than a lot of the kids in the National Honor Society at Cedarburg High, but I never bothered to crack the books. So instead of processing in for graduation at the head of the line with a gold cord around my neck, I was with the ‘alphabeticals.’ My test scores must have been fairly good - I did have schools trying to ‘recruit’ me. But I feel bad in retrospect. My mother graduated from the same high school some 33 years earlier. She was valedictorian. I sure showed her I was my own girl. Have I ever mentioned that she never told me that she was valedictorian? I found her graduation program and a copy of her speech when cleaning out my uncle’s attic.)
