I Want To Attend IUPUI Honors College

The Honors College at ECU should admit an exceptional students such as myself because I consider my education to be the paramount element for my success in the near future. Although I am a student athlete I never forsake my education for my sport, track, because I know that my sport will only take me as far as a scholarship to ECU but won't be of much help after that. As I consider my education above my sport, I tutor my team mates in math because that's what they have a hard time understanding. Not only do I tutor but my teammates and I also volunteer around the community by raking leaves and shoveling snow during the fall and winter which helps us out if they would like to support the team with a donation. I like to hold myself to a higher

I feel like this would be an opportunity to expand in depth in my discipline, as well as learn in a small classroom setting. Through the honors college curriculum, I feel like I have an advantage over my peers because of the unique quality of classes available to me. The opportunity to take these unique classes would make me into a more well rounded student, more understanding of the problems and challenges regarding the discipline that I choose to study. I am certain that the UIC honors college is a perfect fit for me because it fulfills my goal of undergraduate research, as well as enriching my undergraduate

When I was in high school, I wished I was one of the top students in class. And when I saw the top students get awards in my senior graduation, I felt a surge of humiliating emotions – a feeling that I will never forget. I wanted to do it – I wanted to get that award, but I couldn’t. But now, since I can start fresh in college, taking honors college is going to help me get the highest distinction, the thing I couldn’t do when I was in high school. Following my passion will also lead me to stronger sense of the world and how I belong into it and why I am doing what I am. I will also basically have a deeper understanding of myself and the world by being in Honors college.

The National Honors Society is a remarkable and sensational opportunity for myself to take. I know that I should be in the Honors Society to better my future in education. When I think of my character, leadership, and service in the community I know it can be improved upon, but I do see the value I have developed in those traits over my lifetime. I believe that the Nation Honors Society should take me in and display its various favorable opportunities towards myself because of my growing, thriving traits.

I would like to join National Honors Society because I know how positively this could affect my future. Over the past few years I have challenged myself academically by taking Advancement Placement and Accelerated classes. I have found that participating in these classes have made me a much more driven person. Maintaining a weighted GPA of above a 4.0 is mentally straining, but is definitely worth it. Many students believe that taking rigorous courses will not benefit you, but as a member of National Honors Society I would work to change these students’ minds and improve their path, as well as mine, to higher education opportunities.

Through all four years of high school, I’ve been part of the International Baccalaureate program at my high school, which is very similar to the Honors Program - both are small programs for motivated, highly involved students within a larger student body. My experiences as part of the IB community have been instrumental in my development as a student and as a person. Being surrounded by brilliant, curious peers had made me question my own opinions, work harder, and achieve more than I would have otherwise, and I want to be part of the Engineering Honors Program so that I can continue that intellectual growth in college. From my experiences in high school, I know that I would thrive in the environment offered by the Honors Program, perhaps to an even greater extent than I did in the IB program (since the Honors Program is a residential program as well as an academic

For the past two years, I have been working diligently through the International Baccalaureate program despite the many doubts that have crossed my mind because I always enjoy the challenge. The Honors College has many more promising challenges for me to conquer, such as: having success in honors classes taught by notable professors, taking the chance of studying abroad, and earning valuable internship positions. Through these generous and outstanding opportunities, the Honors College challenges students to go beyond what would be expected at any

Joining the Honors College will develop my authenticity, not in the sense that I will be a more honest person, but rather, that I will know more about myself and have better reasoning behind my beliefs. The challenging course load that Honors Students face requires a deeper level of reflection. Students must not only know the material, but have a solid foundation behind it. This forces students to question their worldly views, resulting in a reformed person both socially and academically. Striving for a deeper understanding requires my views to constantly evolve.

I know that taking honors next year is going to require more work and effort than taking an A level class, but I am more than willing to do it. I know that I can put in the effort both outside of school and in school to achieve success, because I understand the importance of hard work and care about doing well in school. As I have demonstrated this year, I always try to do my best and almost always complete assignments on time. So although taking honors will require a time commitment, I am willing to put in the extra

At IU, I plan to not only find what I want to major in, but also make a difference. Volunteering is something I love to do, so either joining a sorority or a community service club is something I know I will do while attending this school. Another reason I knew I wanted

Though this dream seems out of reach due to the complexity of the problems, I do very much believe that through persistence in my academics and climbing my intellectual ladder, that I can reach this dream. Like most high-school graduates, we know that persistence can not stop after graduating high-school or college, but persistence is sometimes abandoned during the summer months in order to relax. I have continued to follow my passion as I continue to read books about mathematics and re-studying integral and differential calculus. Joining the Honors Program would be the continuation of this persistence, as it will push me closer to my dreams and

I have decided to apply to UNCW Honors College to excel in my studies and help me further my education. Being a part of the Honors College will help me in the future, as I plan to attend medical school. This is my second time applying to the UNCW Honors College. I am now a sophomore who has worked very hard to obtain good grades and a good GPA. My hard work has paid off as I made the Dean’s list this year. An expectation I hope to gain when being a part of the Honors College, is the one on one learning experience. In high school, I was enrolled in all AP courses, which were very small classes. I hope to have the same advantage in the honors courses. I also want to be in a group of all similar academic standings. In high school, I was in National

Honors courses always pose a threat to the lives of high school students. They threaten the free time a student may have, they threaten their emotional and mental state, they threaten a student's motivation and drive, and they threaten a student’s will to keep going on. Honors courses, and in this year's case, AP Literature courses stress and frustrate students nearly to the breaking point. Taking a class like this is a legitimate test and testament of a students will. A course like this can make a student produce quality work and other times it can cause a student to not perform at their best. After taking honors courses and advanced classes since about sixth grade, it's safe to assume that I am a dedicated and hardworking student. But like

For me the Honors Program means so much more than six simple letters, Honors represents students who are driven, passionate and have integrity. Throughout my life I have followed my moral compass and constantly strive to better myself each and every day. Looking back I remember a specific event during fourth grade that will forever impacted how I approach tasks in life. I was working until 1:00 AM on a project, tears rolling down my cheeks, as I tried to make it absolutely perfect. The next day we turned the assignment in and everyone got ten points for having it done. I was incredibly disappointed but it was at that moment I realized that the choice I made and the effort I put into the assignment was for myself, for my learning and not

Throughout high school, I challenged myself by taking multiple AP and Honors courses each year. While it was gratifying to succeed in the higher-level classes, some of the courses did not end up being a great fit for me, but I always pushed through until the end of the year and strived to complete the course with grace. The ups and downs in each class taught me my strengths and weaknesses as a student – for example, fast paced Math and Science courses aren’t my forte, but I love to be involved in thought provoking debates during English class. The Renée Crown Honors Program interests me because it emphasizes an intellectually stimulating and supportive community.
