Semester II Week#10 Honors College Experience

     On March 28th I set on a student panel for the Transfer Success Symposium here at ETSU. This event held faculty, staff, and administration not only from ETSU be many colleges that have student that transfer to ETSU from their institution. During this panel, four of my peers and I was asked random questions from the moderator. The questions involved our endeavors throughout the transfer process and insight on how we became engaged on campus. Dr. Carla Warner from the ACTS office here at ETSU told us after the meeting that the response from individuals that attended the conference enjoyed our session the most. I was happy to have had this opportunity to help give my feedback on such an important process. When I signed up to attend, I was under the impression that it would be students I would be talking to. This was not the case. I found myself put on the spot a bit. It all turned out positive and was able to have my voice heard on the topic. Being on the Student Transfer Committee has afforded my another chance to expand my knowledge and help serve my school.

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
