Semester IV Week 8 Honors College Experience

This week I add another 3.5 hours to my time, giving me 21 hours. I have noticed a huge change in the way that my school days are going, even my days at work with this new method of bring positivity into my life. I was feeling like every time I turned around I was getting attacked and/or having a bad day. Because I have been speaking positive thoughts into my days last week they are getting much better.

SemesterII Week#9 Honors College Experience

On March 23 and 24, I attended the Tennessee Regional Conference for Phi Theta Kappa. From 10 A.M. to 10 P.M. on Friday, and from 8 A.M. to 9 P.M. on Saturday. This is 25hrs and completes my requirements for the semester. I had a blast, as I always do when PTK is involved. I spent the weekend with my old chapter as an Alumni and helped them with several chapter needs. The first was a Chandler Cheer. Chandler bear is the spirit bear for the Tennessee Region. At each regional convention perform a cheer made up by each chapter that includes all the pillars of PTK, which include leadership, fellowship, scholarship, and service. At roll call the second day each team preforms their skits and the judge make a decision on who's was the best. The chapter that was appointed winner gets to keep chandler bear until the next regional convention. This is a very competitive event. Chandler is very sought after. The next thing I done was attend several breakout sessions that went over a wide vari...

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 amo...

Semester III Week#3 Honors College Experience

     On September the 14, I was part of a student panel for the Department of Education's Online Retreat. I sat on three different panels. Each was the same student panel but a different set of faculty.  I was asked by the Honors College to participate. I agreed. The panel was insight for faculty because it gave them the students perspective on online classes. The students was asked questions about engagement, thing we liked and disliked, and was asked for any ideas they we may have to better their classes. The panel ended up more of a debate, but I think this was very helpful for the faculty there because it let them see us voice concerns about different side of the story. Now they can better structure their class to ensure student are better engaged and ending with better grades. It was nice being on this panel. I was the only undergrad there, so that was a bit crazy. I held my ground though and was well received. It was amazing to be part of something that produce...
