William Penn Honors Program

I would like to be part of William Penn Honors Program for a multitude of reasons. First, and foremost, I love to learn. I especially love history and reading the great writers and thinkers of history. I believe the William Penn Honors Program will be a rigorous, but rewarding experience, where I can learn from these great thinkers of history by pondering the ideas of the ancients and our forefathers and applying them to life today. Additionally, education is important, however, as the proverb states, “Knowledge without wisdom is futile.” Therefore, another reason I want to be part of the William Penn Honors Program is the stated emphasis on honing your critical thinking skills and deepening your understanding and cultural awareness. Also,
as it says in Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!” I believe strongly that participating in this program will serve to deepen and mature my spiritual life. Consequently, this emphasis on a rigorous, insightful, and meaningful Christian education will enable me to grow and mature intellectually and spiritually while deepening my participation in the Christian community and the world around me. Moreover, from this tough, academically sound, classics’ based, Biblical education, and committed community, I hope to be able to go forward from the William Penn Honors Program and accomplish much for the Kingdom of Christ.
