This week I was able to start working with a Dominican 15-year-old boy dealing with difficulties with emotional regulation and anger outbursts at home and school. I really felt good about being able to speak Spanish with the mother of the client who was present during the intake process. I felt a level of comfort that would take several appointments to achieve otherwise. The clients mother mentioned that I was the first Spanish provider she has worked with. Being able to speak Spanish brought a level of enthusiasm and richness to the extensive intake process. I was able to implement some of the tips my clinical supervisor had provided last week as to how to take information that would be essential in completing different assessments. I felt…
My love affair with Mount Holyoke began quite innocuously, as many loves do. Exactly two years ago I received some mailings from the college—I originally began liking the school because of my intended major. However, in the last two years, I have found all the more reasons to deepen my adoration of Mount Holyoke College. The liberty of a liberal arts education will not only allow me to focus on my intended major but will also allow me to broaden my horizons to discover new areas of interest. My academic career at Mount Holyoke will be a drastic change from my high school career. Studying at Mount Holyoke College would be similar to discovering new land. I would arrive with purpose: the study of language will be my Plymouth Rock, my joy, but…
The public education system in the United States puts a greater emphasis on test scores and grades that it does actual learning. While around 80 percent of high school students graduate, most of them are not being prepared for what comes next. I have come to believe that there is more to education that a decent GPA, so I have tried to enrich myself with as much real-world experience as possible during my time in high school, while still trying to maintain my grades. My time in leadership positions, desire to work with other intellectual individuals, and rigorous academic goals all make me an exceptional candidate for the Honors College at East Carolina University.…
For many High School graduates, applying to college is a daunting adventure where new opportunities, relationships, and knowledge are ready to be explored. As a new freshman, I was not ready to succumb to the possibility of becoming a poltroon in this new and exciting world. I was ready to thrust myself into college with the adherence and prowess that most students lacked when they finished high school.…
Whether it be learning about the culture and diversity of my peers -- strictly adhering to the inclusion efforts of the Honors College, engaging in discussions surrounding issues and current events around the world, or learning how to create and market products that will succeed with the help of my professors, I know I will be deeply ingrained and involved with the Honors College community and strive to embody it’s important interdisciplinary values. I hope to become a part of this amazing community of students and contribute in these activities that make it so…
Despite my feelings of accomplishment for finishing my search, there was still one thing left to do: apply. This was the moment of truth. Did I want to attend this school or not? I made a mental checklist of things I’d learned; it has fantastic people, a great engineering curriculum, and sports and clubs that fit my tastes. Beyond all of that, it was Marquette University, a rigorous faith-based community that seemed to beckon to me whenever possible. The choice was clear. I finally knew where I wanted to go, and it was Marquette…
An educational opportunity that I have taken advantage of is joining the Citrus College Honors Transfer Program. By joining the Honors programs, I get to join classes are rigorous and demanding, which provide me with an environment close to a class someone might take at a University of California campus. The Honors courses that I have taken so far have all challenged me to become more of a conceptual learner and critical thinker. This has benefited me, because the habits and skills that I have formed by taking these courses have helped me become successful in my other courses as well. The honor courses I have taken has foreshadowed the type of curriculum I would face at the University, and taking these honors courses has better prepared me…
After attending Tarrant county college, I decided to join the Cornerstone Honors program. Over the course of a year I was exposed to the idea of being able to formulate my own ideas through rigorous course work centered, on critical thinking and analytical skills. Following the completion of the program, I was finally confident in myself as an overall person. Over the course of my first year, the Honors Texas government course had created an atmosphere where my peers and I were able to express ourselves in a positive setting and learn from each other’s perspectives. In addition, I learned to have an informed opinion about my own beliefs. As a result, I gained the confidence to run for an officer position for the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.…
The Honors Program grabbed my attention because it’s for academically outstanding students and I am that student. Throughout my years of high school, I have taken Advanced Placement and Honors classes and have done very well in them. Being average is not okay for me, I want to do my best and reach my fullest potential in everything I do. I like being challenged mentally and that is exactly what the Honors Program will do for me. In the Honors Program I will be able to engage in social and cultural seminars that I know I will thoroughly enjoy. I have been a part of Diversity Club where different cultures come together to share ideas, exchange food, and get to know more about each others’ culture, so I have an idea of what seminars are like. I am a very outgoing person and I love to meet and interact with new people so through these seminars and projects I will be able to do that. I would also like to get a broader perspective on the world and throughout the many different projects, I will gain that. I read about the Honors Program and what will be done throughout the four years and I thought to myself that this is where I belong, I will fit right in. I want to accomplish many things that this program will allow me to and greatness is what I would like to aim for. The Honors Program at John Carroll University brings together one of the most gifted, diverse, and active groups of people not only on campus, but in the country and I would like to be a part of that, something…
In the end, I settled on Macalester College, a small liberal-arts school in Minnesota with a strong emphasis on internationalism and social action. It is certainly more mainstream than most of the schools that began my college search, but it is also intimate enough that I wouldn’t be able to slip through many cracks; it is located in a sizable metropolitan area where my learning would not be defined exclusively by campus boundaries; it is a place where hard questions are encouraged and expected; and its classes and dorms are well-represented by a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. In hindsight, it was as good of a choice as any I could have made.…
