    Honors committee, As long as I can remember I have sought challenges in academics. Until only recently I didn't know why I pushed myself as hard as I have in school, but now I understand it is because I truly love learning.

As a young child I was insatiably curious, asking my mother questions ad nausea, never satisfied with simple answers.…

Because college students are considered more “mature”, students are required to manage their own time checking due dates for each class themselves.…
