Decent Essays

To ensure that extra time doesn't distract me from my studies I will go the library between all my classes and attend study groups. I also will get involved with actives, such as student leadership, because I find that when I am involved and have less time to sit around, I getting a lot

The honors college will serve much of the same purpose and allow me to maximize my learning experience while at Purdue. I do, however, believe that this gives individuals like myself an unfair advantage over my peers.…
