I'd like to be involved in UIC's Honors College in order to share my passion for learning, as well as to be challenged and to expand my knowledge as an academic. I believe I'd be a good fit for Honors College because I value academic involvement, and with the college, I'm provided with many involvement opportunities. For example, I'd like to involve myself in The Red Shoes Review because of my background in both photography and journalism. Not only would I love to submit my photography, but I also believe I would be a great editor, as I edit for my high school's quarterly magazine. I believe that honors-specific arts publications allow for an artistic community that also values academics, which is an overlap not often found. From my experience as the president of my school's art club, I've seen the value of creative-minded students working collaboratively, and wish to continue that experience through college by involving myself in honors-specific artistic organizations. …show more content…
I've previously been involved in honors societies, like Mu Alpha Theta, a mathematics honors society for high school and community college students. Phi Eta Sigma's dedication towards mutual understanding and respect for various fields is especially enticing, as I wish to study both economics and sociology. One of my favorite aspects of honors societies is the continuation of learning through service, namely tutoring. Through Mu Alpha Theta, I've had the opportunity to tutor many students. Because of my love for learning and spreading information, I wish to lend my hand in helping by
I am seeking membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated to be a part of a sisterhood that leads and serves. I would love to join a sisterhood that serves the community, promotes academic achievement and builds self-esteem in students of all walks of life from primary to adulthood. In addition, I wish to expand my public service through educational development. As an educator, serving children and families through toy drives and youth mentorships would afford me countless opportunities to give back beyond the walls of my classroom, dance stage, and church. With my dedication, compassion, and creativity, I know I will work diligently to produce a strong impact on the sorority’s current programs and aid to create new
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.

Being a part of Appalachian State University’s Honors College would be an amazing privilege. According to the university, the Honors College has been providing superior education to intellectually-motivated students for more than thirty five years. Being a part of the Honors College would help me promptly reach the personal, intellectual, and professional goals I set for myself as well as optimize my college experience.
My experiences with tutoring others has taught me that it satisfies me to help others understand and learn. As you teach others you learn about the different ways you handle situations and solve issues as well. I’ve always been the person that my classmates come up to for help, but it wasn’t till grade 10 until I officially started tutoring math, mainly Pre-Calculus 12. In grade 11, I continued tutoring, but this time I focused on a single individual, and that brought up challenges of creating a suitable relationship, that becomes the foundation for effective learning. This year, I took on a challenge, my teacher asked me to be a mentor towards a student with learning disabilities who was struggling with school. I
As a student in Greater Lawrence Technical school my ultimate goal was to become a member of National Honors Society. From the very start I knew I had the potential to become who I wanted to be. Being seen as a person who can be National honors society member has made me so happy and realize I can really go for more in life! They sky's the limit. I always had honor roll and wanted to push myself for more than what I knew I could do. I asked teachers and guidance counselors how to get into NHS and if they believed I was eligible for National Honor Society. They said with your outstanding character, motivation and dedication to help others is how!
Also, I have been granted spots in Alpha Chi Honor Society and Psi Chi Honor Society. This past year, I served as secretary at Alpha Chi. This position helped me learn how to work well with other members of a leadership team, and helped me create a successful food drive for those in need in Anderson. Being a part of a leadership team was an awarding experience, and I am excited to be a part of it again this coming fall.
Meanwhile, I would transfer to attend the University of Texas at Arlington. Once I start the school year, I am going to surround myself with young people, who are motivated, caring and determined, too successful in their academics as well as their personal lives. I want to strengthen my communication skills, study harder, and improve my time management skills. And maintain myself there to obtain my Bachelor Science Degree and can go deeper and higher level status in my career field. I choose to apply to this Honors Program, because I like to be challenged and I work hard for what I want to
Some would say this is just because they’re the people I have to spend the majority of my time with, but that isn’t true. I love spending time with people who willingly form study groups and have strong interests in academic subjects. Even if I’m just going to Panera to hang out with someone, I usually end up learning something new or teaching. In college, I want to continue to surround myself with the type of people who read about Middle Eastern relations or write computer codes in their free time. Residing in Toscanini College will allow me to continue surrounding myself with fellow lovers of learning both inside and outside of my classes. I’d love to participate in a Pizza and Game Night or see a Broadway show with friends through the unique opportunities the Honors College has to offer. While the Honors College courses will allow me to be intellectually stimulated in school, the social activities offered will allow this intellectual stimulation to extend to the world
This experience will encourage honor students to get out into the community and help a cause or group which in return will have many benefits for us. For one, the required experience will help you reach out to the community and possibly help you make new friends. Another benefit would be the many skills you obtain from volunteering such as communication or dependability skills. Lastly, the experiential learning experience could possibly help us by advancing us within our major or future career by finding connections around the
Helping others to learn has been an important activity throughout my life. Whether the person was a friend or a peer, I always took pleasure in assisting others to learn an idea or a concept. Tutoring is a learning method that requires a knowledgeable person who can explain a concept to a less-experienced person. I want to become a peer tutor for the LEAP Scholars Program because I desire to assist incoming students in their first college courses in an effective and helpful manner. With my academic record, experiences with tutoring, and unique skill set and traits, I strongly believe that I will be an excellent tutor.
