Beta Phi Honor Society

Improved Essays
Throughout my college career, I have had many memorable achievements and gained lots of knowledge on valuable lessons. Yet there are specific lessons and achievements that stand out.
Last year, I had the privilege of being asked to join Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society at UCR, which recruits the top 20% of all undergraduate students. By joining and becoming actively involved with the organization, I was fortunate enough to be offered the position of Vice- President of the organization, which is the most meaningful achievement I have had so far.

Moving to Riverside my first year was easy, but it was not until a few months later where I began to notice the depression I was acquiring being away from home. I did not immerse myself into the college environment and did all tasks with no purpose. Being homesick is something every college student goes through, but getting over it is what differentiates us. I chose to change the situation for myself because I wanted to be happier. The first few tries did not work, and I still felt disconnected from UCR. Nonetheless, after learning to always give whatever the situation my all my situation began to enhance. I began to work more on assignments, involve myself with organizations, and set up weekly goals to accomplish. Through improving what I was not content with, I was able to obtain better grades, volunteer more, and build a life at UCR with which I was satisfied. While I still love going home, being at UCR is home

Whether we have all seen movies about colleges that are fraternity and sorority based or through social media. They’ve given us a little insight on the college life and if you’re like me, these moves have gotten you inspired and excited for college. They’ve shown us the crazy parties, the popularity, the step battles, and the harsh hazing as well. Even though we see an abundance of what goes on in these organizations, these movies do not give us a full understanding of greek letter organizations.…

    Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Scholarship Essay Throughout my high school years, I wanted to change others more than they change me. There has always been this "guilty mind" behind my ears that if I had a way to help others with my abilities then I would do so. However, the knowledge that I am currently equipped with is very low and limited to what I can do. The choice of secondary education is the next level of commitment to reshape my community. Learning to write, speak, and think are competence that are deep within me and are ready to ascend.…

    Whether it was taking time out of my day to attend the first general body meeting of debate team or filling out the application for National Society of Collegiate Scholars, I began my success by putting my foot out into the unknown without fully expecting what I was going to get out of it. Having the adventurous mind to try out new things has opened my mind greatly to leadership opportunities, service, scholarship, and social justice. Topics and initiatives that I would have never thought to be conversing about or partaking in are now major parts of my everyday life. Through NSCS and every other organization or club I’m a part of, I have become a more active, accommodating, and out spoken person. To a first generation college student, obtaining success in college can often seem like a daunting task and many might shrivel in fear of the expectations.…

    After I graduated high school a few years ago, I attended the University of Alabama for a short time before I decided that I did not want to be in school at the moment, and would rather work until I was ready to go back to school. Being in the small town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was a culture shock to me being that I was born and raised in the suburbs of Washington D.C., and then moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where I always had plenty of activities to choose from. Coming to Union College was not something I had been planning for a long time; it was very last minute and was a difficult decision to make seeing that I had already left college in the past, partial reasoning because I was not happy in a small town: I felt trapped. Ever since the year 2012, I have moved five times living in four different states—Alabama, Florida, Maryland, and Kentucky—which has been stressful for me to say the least. The move to Barbourville, Kentucky was not entirely easy, it was difficult to leave my family and move to a part of the U.S. that I had never visited before.…
