Personally, I love to learn about new topics, even if they do not directly relate to my chosen interest. Some days I will spend hours attempting extraneous skills such as obtaining mastery of a British accent to trying to proficiently use the method of loci. Joining the Honors College would give me the opportunity to learn about relatively unknown topics ranging from accounting to

    I believe that the University of Georgia Honors Program would open up countless doors for me throughout my UGA career, and it would allow me to thrive and contribute to a smaller environment of more dedicated and passionate students. Coming from a small, very academically advanced private school, I am very familiar with and fond of this type of environment. I also believe that my high school experience, in such a unique and diverse school, would allow me to contribute greatly to the honors community. The Honors Program’s access to smaller class sizes would allow me to be in closer contact with my teachers, something that I benefited from greatly in high school.…

Nonetheless, I was slightly disappointed when I found out that students were invited to join the honors college on immediate acceptance to Georgia State and I had not been one of those lucky souls. But I figured it was for the best at the time.…
