I am deeply honored to be among the exemplary students who were chosen to become a part of the pioneer batch of the Honors Program of Enderun. I must admit that this is something that I have been looking forward to since the beginning of my college career. The Honors Program aims to recognize students with outstanding grades and commendable characters which I strongly believe that I both acquire. I believe that I deserve to retain my part on the Program because I have worked very hard and gave my very best to attain such standing. Looking back, there were several poignant moments when I was struggling with my classes and would have given up trying to achieve my goals.
There is so much to learn education is so ongoing. Hard work is to get all work done and even try to go on sometimes. If anyone works hard there is a guarantee that they may achieve success in today’s world of higher education. I think dedication is the key to success be committed to achieving. By being committed to your learning and to success.
I need to set goals in each one of my classes and stay focused and put my school work first. The accomplishments I have made in the past relate to the information I have learned about myself in the self-assessments. In the past when it came to school work I had a tendency to become unorganized. However I learned to organize my work and learn strategies to study and eventually I found a way that seemed to fit me the most. When it come to my personality, in the past I always have put others before myself.
“Bridge Builders seeks to develop among high school students a group of future leaders who can lay aside individual and cultural differences and work for the benefit of all.” This is the mission statement for Bridge Builders which is a program that I participated in my junior year of high school, and now actively involved with my senior year. The program, without a doubt, lives up to its mission statement. During the program we participated in leadership, personal, and team building activities. The program’s methods taught me how to be a great leader in any situation, whether I was leading myself or a group. I also made life-long friendships, and I am still meeting new people at our meetings that we have during the school year.
“We are going to work together to create our own pledge to say every morning after we say the Pledge of Allegiance.” Call students by table to move back to their seats. Show students the heart that is hanging on the board where we will create our own pledge. Explain to students that the heart says “We pledge to” and that we will now create a classroom pledge together. “What are some important things you think we should include in our classroom pledge?” As students give their ideas, vote as a class (by a show of hands) if everyone agrees on the items being added to the pledge. Once the pledge is finished read it to the students, then read it together as a class.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
Maximizing My Resources Christy Nance CSS101 Dr. Beverly Fierro August 2, 2013 At Stevens-Henager University, there are several resources available to us students to help us in class, on our assignments, and to get us through our studies as we pursue our career of choice. But, honestly, we are our own greatest resource. We are “resourceful”. Always take advantage of opportunities. We can’t just sit back and wait for opportunities to come to us.

Yet at this seminal moment, we can't help looking back. . How do we measure the time we've spent in high school? In the beginning, we measured it in class periods, counting down the day to eventual freedom. Most of us have grown from this experience, making us better candidates for our future.
