Honor Program Benefits
An educational opportunity that I have taken advantage of is joining the Citrus College Honors Transfer Program. By joining the Honors programs, I get to join classes are rigorous and demanding, which provide me with an environment close to a class someone might take at a University of California campus. The Honors courses that I have taken so far have all challenged me to become more of a conceptual learner and critical thinker. This has benefited me, because the habits and skills that I have formed by taking these courses have helped me become successful in my other courses as well. The honor courses I have taken has foreshadowed the type of curriculum I would face at the University, and taking these honors courses has better prepared me

    Santa Rosa Junior College Application Essay Sample

    Samuel Clemens advised “Go to bed early, get up early-this is wise”, and by appreciating the soundness of his words, rarely, if ever, do I find myself in the chaos of late morning traffic. By accomplishing little everyday small tasks such as getting up early in time for a healthy breakfast or studying in motivating environments allows me to be extremely productive and effective as a student at the Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC). For the past seven months, I’ve held an environmental specialist internship at the Santa Rosa Water Department that goes hand-in-hand with my dedication and efforts at the junior college. Over the past two years, it has been my pleasure to participate in courses and to become a part of the SRJC culture. I am motivated and eager to continue to develop a strong background of calculus, general chemistry, biology and critical thinking, and expanding physics, engineering and organic chemistry. My overarching education goal is to receive a bachelors of science in environmental engineering or hydrologic science. My top three universities of choice are UC Berkley and Cal Poly for their environmental engineering programs and UC Santa Barbara for hydrologic…

    Personal Narrative: My Ohio Mission Trip

    In my freshman year, I went to Ohio Mission Trip, which was led by Mrs. Lundquist. While I had an amazing life experience through volunteering, I was able to become closer to my friends and upper classmen. Darby and Sydney Lundquist also joined the trip, and they shortly introduced me about Washington and Lee University. I assumed the college should be very advanced since they were well-known for their excellence in intelligence and sports. This year I attended a college meeting with Mr. Webster to get to know more about the college. It was a great opportunity for me to grasp a big picture of the school as well as more specific details of admissions. I immediately fell in love with the school as Mr. Webster explained about the school in detail.…

    Attributes of a Crestwood National Honor Society member include: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

By preforming all of these tasks, hopefully I have shown the ability to contribute to the Crestwood National Honor Society.…

    East Carolina Honor College Application Essay Sample

    The public education system in the United States puts a greater emphasis on test scores and grades that it does actual learning. While around 80 percent of high school students graduate, most of them are not being prepared for what comes next. I have come to believe that there is more to education that a decent GPA, so I have tried to enrich myself with as much real-world experience as possible during my time in high school, while still trying to maintain my grades. My time in leadership positions, desire to work with other intellectual individuals, and rigorous academic goals all make me an exceptional candidate for the Honors College at East Carolina University.…

    Velma Fudge Grant Honors Program

    While at Albany, I have high hopes and expectations out of my college education. My focus is to succeed academically. I plan on getting my bachelors in nursing and later on pursuing a master’s degree to become a Nurse Practitioner. I expect the courses that I take to not only develop my knowledge but to also strengthen what I already have. Many people do not succeed in college because a lack of resources or they are not taking advantage of the resources that are given to them. Being a part of the Honors Program, I plan to take advantage of every single resource, to make sure that I never fall behind or start slacking on any of my college work. While in high school I was an honors student in 9th-12th grade. Although it was high school, the work came…

    Why I Want to Join the Honors Program

    The Honors Program grabbed my attention because it’s for academically outstanding students and I am that student. Throughout my years of high school, I have taken Advanced Placement and Honors classes and have done very well in them. Being average is not okay for me, I want to do my best and reach my fullest potential in everything I do. I like being challenged mentally and that is exactly what the Honors Program will do for me. In the Honors Program I will be able to engage in social and cultural seminars that I know I will thoroughly enjoy. I have been a part of Diversity Club where different cultures come together to share ideas, exchange food, and get to know more about each others’ culture, so I have an idea of what seminars are like. I am a very outgoing person and I love to meet and interact with new people so through these seminars and projects I will be able to do that. I would also like to get a broader perspective on the world and throughout the many different projects, I will gain that. I read about the Honors Program and what will be done throughout the four years and I thought to myself that this is where I belong, I will fit right in. I want to accomplish many things that this program will allow me to and greatness is what I would like to aim for. The Honors Program at John Carroll University brings together one of the most gifted, diverse, and active groups of people not only on campus, but in the country and I would like to be a part of that, something…

    Honor Code Importance

    Different levels of education consist of a variety of set expectations. In comparison to colleges, high schools don't nearly clarify the rules and regulations needed to be followed in order for students to achieve their academic goals. Many schools don't fully recognize importance of the honor code and ensure that it is maintained throughout every aspect of the students' life. An honor code should be enforced and established in Cypress Lakes high school in order to successfully prepare the students for their future.…

    Externship Reflection: Whole Health Chiropractic Wellness Center

    When I volunteered to take on an externship for my last semester before graduating, I never thought of exactly how much the experience would have such a large impact on how I look at my future. During my 11 months here at Miller-Motte, I endured many hardships in my personal life and I definitely could have taken the easy way out during those times and just skipped out on my externship but I am so thankful that I pushed myself to realize that I can and will complete my program. By completing an externship, students get hands-on experience and teaching that one may never receive from classroom instruction. I believe by completing this externship and applying the knowledge I learned from my textbooks, it has given me the confidence to know that I do possess not all, but at least some of the basic…

    How To Establish A Personal Reflective Essay To Tulane University

    During my sophomore year, I made the decision to transfer. Upon arriving at Tulane University, I found myself immersed in an entirely new culture and way of thinking. I changed my major upon arrival. Tulane no longer offered a religion degree, so I had to start over entirely. The difficulty of integrating myself into a new culture while assimilating into the science-heavy world of neuroscience became the greatest struggle of my undergraduate career. Nonetheless, the challenge taught me the importance of chasing after your goals, no matter the difficulty.…

    Why Brown

    Brown also offers students the ability to take independent study courses, which is how I learn best. During my gap year I have learned significantly more while reading books of my choosing and doing projects such as writing books and building businesses than I did my freshman year at Dickinson College. In fact, the program at Brown that I am most interested in, Community Health, requires students to do two independent studies if they want to pursue honors.…

    Importance Of Stupational Therapy: My Future Career

    Luckily, I’ve always enjoyed school and learning. Because of that, I’ve been ahead academically since elementary school. I skipped from the first to the second grade while I was attending public school, and then began homeschooling because of the lack of gifted programs for children below sixth grade. Now, I’m a high school student enrolled at Pitt Community College through their Career and College Promise program. Under this program, I receive free tuition as long as I maintain an appropriate GPA and take courses approved for my pathway. If my projected path goes smoothly, I should receive my associate’s degree when I graduate high school. Five years from now, I should be very close to finishing my graduate degree. Before I started at Pitt, I never imagined getting more than a bachelor’s degree. I thought I would take the usual approach to college, graduate high school and spend four years at a university before graduating with average grades. After taking College Transfer Success, I experienced a paradigm shift. Instead of seeing my education from a ground level, I saw the bird’s eye view. I didn’t envision myself sliding by in my courses and just getting a bachelor’s degree, I saw myself earning a master’s degree and graduating magna cum laude. After viewing my education from that bird’s eye view, I had to get back to ground level and take it one course at a time. So far, I believe that my courses are a balance of helpful and hindering. I understand how anatomy and physiology, psychology, and medical terminology could help me develop skills required to work in my chosen field. Understanding how the human body and mind work is essential to appropriately problem-solve when the body and mind aren’t working efficiently. However, some of my courses seem like “fluff” or “filler.” While music appreciation and American history sound like courses I would enjoy taking, the skills acquired through those…
