There were many factors that appealed to me about the University of Wisconsin-Madison even before I stepped foot on campus. The urban location right in Madison. The two hour drive away from my home. The fact that the school is one of the top public universities in the country. But there was so much more that I learned and experienced on my campus tour that made my application to this school a reality. I loved the experience of walking around on campus. I could practically feel the energy of all the students moving around campus and the city. I can only imagine the feeling of being on campus during a game (which I hope to encounter in firsthand myself). The ice cream that was made on campus was impeccable. And finally, the Discovery Building …show more content…
First, it was the sheer amount of educational opportunities available to me. With over 200 majors and certificates available and the option to design my own course of study, this school stood out to me as someplace with enough resources to provide the freedom to explore my interests. Additionally, the Honors Program certainly appeals to me as well. Along with the excellent academic advising and smaller, faculty-led classes and discussions, the Honors Program would provide me with a network of like-minded individuals, more opportunities to grow intellectually and as a leader, and to sustain my curiosity as a student. Outside of the classroom, I plan to take advantage of many opportunities at this school to apply what I learn in school to the real world and to help others. With the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, I have the unique opportunity to gain research experience in even my first or second year of study. Next is the study abroad program. With over 200 programs in more than 60 countries around the world, this program would allow me to expand my horizons and learn about other places of the world, all while earning credit towards my
Liberty University is my dream school because of its solid Biblical foundation, opportunities for students, and excellent educational program. I have found all three of these qualities in my interaction with the university. I truly sense that Liberty wants what is best for its students both inside and outside of the classroom. In short, Liberty is my dream school because of its heart. The Honors Program at Liberty furthers my respect for Liberty by challenging its students and providing them with opportunities to succeed. Being accepted into the Liberty Honors Program would mean many things to me including preparing me for my future and giving me the chance to become a Champion for Christ. It would challenge and provide me with a close-knit Christian community, new growth opportunities, and a balance amidst the wide variety of new experiences. Being accepted into the Honors Program would further enable me to pursue and fulfill God’s purpose for my life.
I was attracted to the Norlin Scholars community over any other opportunity at CU because I fit the Norlin Scholars program academically, socially, personally, and in terms of what I want for my future. None of the other programs I researched came as close as Norlin Scholars to matching my ideal vision for my time at CU.
Throughout high school I have dreamed of having the opportunity to attend Indiana University. I have a true passion for babies. I love to learn how babies are developed and how they become such an amazing part of the world. Therefore, I would like to apply to Indiana University and pursue a degree in Pediatric Nursing. I would love to be able to deliver babies and deliver new life into this earth. There are several opportunities available for me to get involved with new leadership opportunities. I want to be able to be a leader for all age groups.
The CSU Honors Program would overall help me to achieve academically well and would help keep me motivated through my college years. My unique school experiences would bring different ideas to this community and would over all help me be the best CSU student that I can possibly
Admittance into the University of Georgia’s Honors Program would push me to continually test my potential in the pursuit of my Pre-Medical studies. I take pride in challenging myself to completely master a field of study that enhance my capabilities, and therefore, prepare myself to strive for my next goal in life. In order to grow into a better and improved self, one would need to test unfamiliar waters and reach new heights. The Honors Program ensures this growth by bringing in unaccustomed, rigorous, and beneficial material one cannot simply find in a traditional setting with their head in a textbook. Students are more able to grasp information through exploration and peer discussion which the Honors Program would provide. I believe that
Honor is….hook. On October 9 2012, an honorable young girl fought for her rights and the rights of others, only to be met with a bullet to her head; this girl’s name is Malala Yousafzai. There are few people in the world with this much honor and good moral. Honor is shown when people act with integrity, taking matters into their own hands to make a good change in the world. Culture affects honor because it causes people to see the world through different aspects (views) , but people still stand up for what they believe in, whether it is on their lifestyle, education, or religion. While Seikei depicts honor by following the samurai code of conduct in Medieval Japan, Winston Churchill’s acts of optimism during the 20th century, and Malala’s courage to fight for what she believes in all the way in Pakistan display honor.
Throughout the nation, many high schools and colleges have used or still use what is called an honor code. An honor code is a pledge made by the school that states that student are not allowed to cheat, steal or plagiarize another student or author 's work. Students are also expected to inform the school if they see another student breaking the honor code. It is imperative that schools maintain the honor code to prevent cheating and dishonesty amongst its students.
Probably the most important turning point in my life happened in 1992. At this time, I was eight years old and living in Williamsport Pennsylvania. My dad had a well-paying job at Anchor Darling Valve Company, I was attending a parochial school and I thought life was just great. At the time we lived in a large four-story house with a separate three-story garage and an acre of forest for a backyard. I had a ten-speed bicycle and I would often go bicycling with my friends at the nearby cemetery. No-one ever objected to this, in fact people would often have picnics at the top of this hill at the cemetery. I guess the only things I ever complained about were the constant music lessons and practice sessions my parents subjected me to.
I am qualified to be accepted into the National Honor Society based on scholarship. Scholarship is defined as academic study or achievement; learning at a high level. I have maintained at least a 96 unweighted overall average throughout my years in Trinity as well as in middle school. I have tried to take rigorous courses as well as many to help me get into a better school for my major in science. I take Honors courses along with an AP course and manage to be consistent in my school work while having practice for sports after school every day and twice a week for outside of school sports. I have been nominated for the Science Honor Society for excelling in my Biology, Chemistry, and Physics classes. I have been on Principal’s List Freshman year when I was ranked 30 in the class and Sophomore year when I ranked 20 in the class, so I believe my continued growth as the curriculum gets harder qualifies me for the National Honor Society under scholarship.
I am a cocoon still on the verge of transformation. In order for me to grow as a person, there are many procedures that are crucial. NJ LEEP’s College Bound Program is specifically one of the essential steps. This program will allow me to improve myself. It can enhance my time management and allow me to ponder in a distinctive way, too. In addition, I can obtain a higher amount of knowledge through the program’s rigorous courses. I realized through my five years in Harrison, I was not exposed to how life really works. Therefore, my opportunities to experience the real world and meeting new people were minimal. Harrison restricts my life experiences. However, NJ LEEP provides opportunities that will benefit me. Overcoming fears might be difficult, such as public speaking. However, I am willing to take the chance to overcome these obstacles. Even though I do not want to enter into
The Presidential Honors Scholars Program offers opportunities that will help in my pursuit for graduate school, such as the DURF grant, the senior thesis, and the research presentation to the Undergraduate Research Conference. The experiences from the sophomore study abroad trip will open my mind to a new culture and future global possibilities. The community service projects will build my character and enhance my desire to help others and build a community. Utilizing what the Presidential Honors Scholars Program can offer me, I will be able to become the type of researcher that I have always strived to be: hard-working, intelligent, and
When the horsehair is one millimeter over the A string is when I wonder if my cue has been strong enough. It is too late, however, to turn back. I have started the quartet, and with the ictus of my violin's scroll, the sound is released. The first seconds of connection between horsehair and metal string are the most important. I concentrate on controlling my right index finger as every inconsistency in the fluidity of my hand magnifies itself in my ears. Under my chin the wood begins the vibration that lets me know I am connected to the sound. Only I can hear the secret nervous bounce of my bow as I speed up my right forearm and the impurities in my contact with the string that are masked by the distance between my first violin chair and the first row of audience. The imperfection is what I love. Only one note has passed, but as I relax my shoulder for the reversal of my bow, I strive to make the next one more beautiful. There is a never-ending series of notes. At the conclusion of this phrase, the downbeat brings the capital letter of a new sentence. At the end of this movement, there is another.
By participating in the University Honors Program, I have been required to go an extra mile with respect to my learning. Through extra research projects and additional assignments, I have gone over many concepts more in-depth and now I am able to analyze ideas in a more complex manner than before. Being an Honors student at the University has also helped me know more about important issues that surround me. Through the forums offered by the program I have learned about topics that are in nothing related to my major, which has expanded my view of the world.
I think you did very well this year. You got on honor roll every report card. You passed almost all of your tests. There are things you should do different though next year. You should study harder for test and finish all your math homework. I know you struggled with turning in some of your math homework and next year you should have it done and in on time. Lucky for your grade you eventually got the hang of turning papers in on time and your grade did fall.
The most fulfilling or rewarding experience I have had as a college student here at USC has simply been having the opportunity to be surrounded by motivated students, professors, and advisors that have encouraged me to expand my horizons and better myself. Without the Honors College, I would have never met and bonded with my current roommates or any of my other college friends, who push me to try new things and work harder every day. The Honors classes I have been enrolled in have provided me with the opportunity to interact with students who are passionate about what they are studying. The professors I have taken are experts in their fields and have interesting stories and histories, such as one
