My experience at the Honors College has definitely been unique. Living in Whitmyre has been one of the best experiences of my life. I have met so many neat people and I have learned so much from them. One of the cool things about having all the freshmen live in Whitmyre is that you have a diverse group of students. There are students from all different kinds of majors with strengths in different backgrounds. This was very beneficial, because if I needed help with a subject that was unfamiliar to me, there was most likely someone who lived right down the hallway from me who was a genius in that subject. I love being part of the Honors College community. I have been able to learn from others' experiences, and I have changed my views on important issues due to influences in the HC.
Managing time during my life at 亚色影库 has been particularly difficult. I try to balance time between homework for the HC, homework for classes in my major (Exercise Science with an emphasis in Physical Therapy), and practice for the Division II . By being in the HC, I have been able to remain focused on my academics and their importance. Although the homework for the HC has been very time consuming, I have learned so much from it. I am now more confident in my writing abilities and my ability to voice my opinions in a group setting. The faculty in the HC is stupendous. All of the teachers in the HC that I have had are extremely intelligent and have pushed me to be a better student. Each professor can offer unique insights on his/her subject. One of the best things about the HC is that we have an awesome secretary, Lisa Halmes. She is one of the nicest people that I have ever met, and she is always looking out for the students. She is not afraid to take time out of her busy schedule to help a student in need.
In the future after graduating from 亚色影库 with a baccalaureate degree in Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology, I plan to attend a graduate school that ranks in the top twenty for their physical therapy program. Three of my options include University of Pittsburgh, University of Delaware, and Creighton University. After I complete the three-year doctorate program to become a physical therapist, I plan to launch myself right into the work force. I am very hopeful and excited about my future as a physical therapist.
