Week#11 Honors College experience

On Tuesday November 14, 2017 I attended the Honors Pinning Ceremony for the Honors students that will be graduating this semester. The purpose of this event is to recognize the students, that are graduating, by presents them with their honor's stole and pin. While the presenting of the stole and pin is going on, another representative from each of the honors discipline reads what the graduating students thesis was along with who their mentor was. I really liked this event because it brings all the honors students together in one place. The atmosphere that is created when we all come together is impossible to stop. The best of the best in the same room can only lead to great thoughts and ideas being exchanged. It also gave me hope to finish my journey through my degree. Being able to see what some of my rewards will be has been much needed during my first semester as a transfer student.

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.

Week# 3

Today, September 13, 2017, I woke up feeling reflective. I decided to go and check out the Reese Museum on campus. I did not anticipate that the past would humble me. I love learning about the past. The history tells a lot about a person, a place, or a nation. Most of the museum that I was able to see today, showcased a lot of facts and the Holocaust. I found myself going from one piece of information to the next thinking that it could not get much worse. I can not believe that one race was able to make a thing like this happen. It remind me of many problems that our society faces today. It is not on the scale that the Holocaust was but it is very problematic. Our society has got away from thinking of others before their self. If one could just stop and think, regardless of one's religion, race, or sexually orientation we are all just individuals trying to make it through this thing called life. I must say, today has been a great day. I am so glad to have made it into 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. ...
