Week# 12 Honors College Experience

On November 30, 2017 I gave my presentation for my thesis proposal. I feel confident in my presentation. It was a topic that I did not think I would much interested in because I am unable to get a mentor for my thesis because of not having the required class to get a mentor. I am enrolled in the class for the next semester, but until then I had to meet the requirements for the class I am in this semester. It was heart breaking to know that I was pouring time into a project that I was not going to be able to use. I followed my thoughts and dove into a problem that I thought would work for my discipline. Through my research, I developed the thesis of, "What are the effects on motivation of a democratic leadership style within the work place?" I really feel like this is appropriate for my discipline because  many of my classes have taught me that the best place to change the motivation level in a work environment is through management. I am a business major with a concentration in management. I have already looked into the class that I am taking in the Spring semester and think that I may be able to use this as my actual thesis. I will be researching this idea. I think my thesis will be beneficial knowledge that needs to be shared and could possible have an impact on the improvement of motivation among employees. Leading the nation to progression instead of regression. After all, who wouldn't like to work in a more positive atmosphere.

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
