Week#7 Honors College Experience

On October 31, 2017 our class discussed the topic, "What do you value?" Through our debate about the areas of happiness, family, and wealth. I came to the conclusion that they all play a part in making one live a valuable life. Going into this discussion, I thought that one was more important than another. Our group had some very interesting points of view for the other. It came down to the fact that in order to have contentment, one must have a balance of all the topics. I can say that in my life, I have a good balance of wealth, friends, and happiness. I have been blessed with an array of people in my life that always gives me a clearer vision about the things that happen through one's life and just how those things can influence me for the positive. If you are not happy with where your life is headed, I encourage you to set back and examine these areas of your life and reflect on what you value. You might find that some things in your life have been given the wrong amount of focus, if you redirect your focus, you can become more successful in your life.

Semester IV Week 10 Honors College Experience

 This week I added another 3.5 hours to my time for a grand total of 28 hours. I have been able to get to the place of happiness within myself by learning how to meditate. I am so glad that I made this my project this semester. I have became a better person, friend, student, and mentor. On April 4th I attended the Alpha Sigma Lambda Induction Ceremony. I was there from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. I had a speaking part and helped set up  for the event. This is a ceremony where new members go through the process of being told what the society is and finish by them taking the oath. There was a total of 7 people that was inducted. This gives a total of 32 hours towards the 30 hours of requirement. I am done with the required time.

Semester II Week#15 for Honors College Experience

This is the last post for the semester. As I reflect back on my goals and compare them to my accomplishments, I must say that I am very proud that I have meet each goal that I set. I also went above the requirements of the course because that is just how I role. I want to help as many individuals as possible. I am impressed that I have come out of my shell a bit more this semester and I am not hating ETSU anymore. I have found my niche. It is also hard to believe that as of the end of this week I have became a senior in college. Man, how time flies when you having "fun". I am one step closer to meeting some of my major life goals that I have set for myself. In one more year I should be half way to my overall goal of obtaining my doctorate from college. I have been more successful than I had originally that I would be. I thought that I would keep my mostly C average that I had in school many years ago. I knew I could done better back then but my life experience was not on the

Week#1 of the Honors College Experience

I attended the first meeting of the Adult Student Transfer Committee on Monday, August 28,2017. During this meeting the committee talked about various ways that administration could improve the transfer process. That would lead to a smoother transfer experience. Several programs was brought up that would make this mission a reality. The most common solution was more events that would connect transfer and incoming students together in a more tight fitting way. These ideas are in the process of being brought up to the Adult Transfer Committee and is hoping to be approved. This meeting was 1.5 hours long. I am using this time towards my 5 hours of volunteering for my Honors Collo requirements. This gave me an opportunity to meet and become more acquainted with faculty and administration here at ETSU. As I have learned, one never knows who can play an instrumental piece in your journey. It has also gave me a chance to be a voice for the student body. It pleases me to be a part of something
