I feel that the honors program at ASU will expand my intellectual horizon, and enrich my academic achievements. Albert Einstein once said, “ Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” My goal in life is to be a woman of value. Being successful is not always the most difficult thing in the world. It has equal parts luck and hard work. But adding value to something is a lot harder. There is nothing wrong with success, but oftentimes it is easy to lose sight of who a person is when you are successful. Becoming a women of success is only a fraction of the bigger picture I want to capture here.

If succeeding in everything in life is all that is important and giving back what has been learned from the accomplishments has no part then everything that has been succeeded in has no
