Purdue's Honors College Analysis

Improved Essays
Throughout my schooling, I have put in extra time and effort to go above and beyond in the classroom. I have always been eager to learn and grow not only as a student, but as a well-rounded, well-educated leader. I secured a spot on my high school’s honor roll from the beginning of my freshman year and have worked very diligently to maintain my place upon it. I have challenged myself with my coursework throughout high school, from honors classes to AP and IB courses, but being a part of Purdue’s Honors College would allow me to pursue even more rigorous coursework and build relationships with other students to set me up for an even more successful future. The Honors College provides a substantial amount of opportunities both in the Purdue community,

    The purpose of this program is to assist students from the day they enter the college until the day they graduate in class registration and the transfer process. The goal of the program is to offer college education in a different path than attending a 4-year institution for all four years. American Honors offers assistance to students through scholarships and a full fledge army of useful advisors. It was designed to help students achieve a 4-year institution, but for a much more affordable cost. This allows students to lessen their financial trouble coming out of college because they will attend a 2-year institution for the first part of their degree, then attend a 4-year institution for the final two years of their degree/program.…

    The Honors College at Auburn is designed to challenge the students that have showed academic excellence in their high school careers. The college should help students think more openly about the problems in today’s world, and lets face it, they are numerous. With the help of professors, the students in the Honors college should be able to pinpoint the source of a particular problem as well as the solution. I am not saying that the students will change the world with their way of thinking, but the students will be taught perspective. This type of thinking can only be mimicked in a challenging environment with people who are pushing each other to be better.…

    I am truly honored as being a nominee for the Easton Chapter National Honor Society. The standards that must be proven to be nominated by this prestigious society are an example of the hard work and dedication I have exemplified in school. Throughout my years of schooling, I have tried my hardest to get good grades, while also demonstrating the characteristics that make up the National Honor Society; they are leadership, service, and character. While I have exhibited all three throughout my educational career, I feel that my service characteristic stands out above the rest. Service can mean many things, but to me, it means helping someone perform a task they can’t complete themselves, sacrificing your time, and assisting the less fortunate.…
