I am writing to inform you of my possible contributions to the National Honor Society and my interest in becoming a member.

My participation and loyalty to the NHS could result in a great strive forward. I could provide more ideas of services to benefit the school and our community.

Whether that means coming in early in the morning or staying late after school, I would do any means necessary to show my commitment.

David Edwards is a stage and film acting veteran from Las Cruces, New Mexico. He has performed in countless stage performances and several onscreen acting jobs during the last four decades. Mr. Edwards employs both practical and magic rituals to the preparations for his stage performances, and he keeps a good luck charm on his person. His rituals are less extreme than many other stage performers who are extremely observant of superstitions and adamant about preshow rituals. Anthropologists would take note of the greater ritual associated with stage acting than with film acting, as performers feel a lesser need for luck in the mistakes- forgiving world of film. This parallels the dichotomy between hitters and fielders in baseball.

During the Middle Ages of Europe there was a great war between France and England known as the 100 year War. Throughout this war there were many historic battles and many warriors that have had stories told about them over the years. None more famous than a young girl from a small village named Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc lived a short life, but did so much that she has many songs, stories, and even today movies made about her.

The idea for the Academy Awards started at a dinner party held by studio chief Louis B. Mayer in the early 1927. Mayer and his guests- actor Conrad Nagel, director Fred Niblo and producer Fred Beeston wanted to get recognition as artists and movies as an art form. They wanted movies to be on the same scale as a dancer, composer of music and a playwright (Robertson). So they discussed about created an organized group to benefit the entire film industry. On January 11, 1927, they met for another dinner, this time thirty-six people attended to hear a proposal about the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angles. Attendees to this event included: Mary Pickford, Sid Grauman, Jesse Lasky, George Cohen, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Cedric Gibbons and Irving Thalberg, all who supported the idea of recognizing film as an art work (History of the Academy of Motion Picture Art & Sciences).
From the very first dinner, to the first award show, to what the oscar statue means today, the Academy Awards have become the most worldwide known award shows. Imagine what the creators would say now if they could see what their simple idea has become. They would be pretty shocked. Like Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy said, “An academy award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.”

“Angelina to me is more than a world class beauty; she is a world class citizen. Her caste is everyman, despite its surreal circumstance. She is a celebrity actually worthy of celebration. This woman deserves a term of her own and it’s not celebrity or saint she would be the first one to admit that. She is a rare example of the grounded rising above the flighty in a self-absorbed society, and I can’t applaud, admire, and thank her enough”.
Different people hold different views about whether celebrities deserve the money they obtained. Most people just see the performers’ perfect shows on the stage, or the musicians’ excellent performances in the concert hall; however they did not see the hard works that celebrities need to do behind the stage and spotlights. The people who do not know how hard that they prepare for a show, a TV show, a movie or a concert, think all celebrities do not deserve the incomes that they get and earn money easily and highly, but they use their efforts to get money as normal people. As the old saying states, “no gain without pain.” The famous and professional celebrities who have high reputations may need to stay up late to practice his performance again and again before going on the stage. People always believe a person’s efforts determines the applause that he deserves. All the efforts
