I will not simply be a number in the professors’ eyes if accepted to the Honors Program.…

I know a few people that are so motivated to attend college that they already know for sure what they are going to major in before they were even freshmen in high school. For me, I was not falling into that category. College was something I did not consider throughout my time in high school.…
