The Candle of Service

This Thursday I'm being inducted into the National Honors Society.

It may seem silly because it's two weeks before I graduate from high school that I'm finally getting in. But I mean, taken with the fact that the local chapter just started, and I'm one of the first members of the society...
Anyway. Not to sound conceited (I might as well brag somewhere like this blog that no one reads, haha). But I'll be the most "decorated" senior in my graduating class. That's pretty cool. I feel pretty cool, actually.

So the induction is a pretty formal ceremony, apparently. And so the seven or so new members all have lines, and things they have to do within this ceremony. Apparently, there is this candle of knowledge, which lights all the other candles. My candle is "service." Ian signed me up for that candle... ( <_<; ) But there are other candles like the candle of "scholarship."
How quaint.
He was really pushing for me to be the candle of knowledge, but I guess the candle of knowledge is used to light all the other candles, and not be lit. Hahaha.

Knowledge is everlasting?

The great can fall just as easily from wisdom, I'm sure.

There's a barbeque afterward, too. I'm sure my dad and my brother will be totally psyched for that part of this excursion. I'm glad my family is supportive.
: D

Hopefully we get our Honors Society sashes at this induction. That'll be exciting to wear on my graduation gown.

On another note, the graduation program looks pretty awesome. Kudos to Mrs. Taylor.
On Monday, graduation party tickets go on sale.

And I need to count up all the people I need tickets for. Heh. That'll be exciting.
