High School Honors Student

Decent Essays
For all of my many school years, I have always been an ´honors kid’. I never gave a thought to it, just enrolled in the classes as my teachers advised me to and dfj dfn.

I have always been excited by learning, and my honors classes only enhanced this, by placing me with classmates of my own mind set. Continuing into the honors college would be a ajdvpskdjfoisd for me, an extened something about my high school honors program. I want to continue to learn and grow, and being surrounded by people just as driven as I am makes me work for my education all the more. This works in reverse as well: in the Honors College, I will motivate the other students

    My School district I’ve been in since halfway through kindergarten has one high school, two junior highs, a couple of middle schools and a variety of elementary schools; the fire trucks for the town have the high school mascot on the side. Small town education is different in the way that honor classes have a set of students that take them, and there is rarely a variation from this set of students in those classes. I saw that many students who did not start honors classes in junior high do not think that they can take these advanced classes, they have become viewed as “elite”. My sophomore year history teacher that year agreed with me that the view needed to be changed, so she sponsored a club we headed named “AP Ambassadors”. “AP Ambassadors”…

I am not saying that the students will change the world with their way of thinking, but the students will be taught perspective.

    I believe there is a more evident ambiance of respect in the Honors Program because, like the students, the professors are highly motivated. Additionally, the Honors students want to be in a more academically challenging environment and the professors want to teach these students who are hungry for knowledge. Furthermore, the smaller classroom settings are ideal for my learning process. With the smaller settings, there are less distractions and more individual attention which makes a difficult topic easier to comprehend. Also, I plan to take advantage of the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities since I have been accepted to the College of Engineering.…
