Many college students believe that they will end up making more money than their uneducated peers. There are many citizens who are unaware that they have the potential to live a world of debt after graduating.

I would love the chance to attend The George Washington University and I believe my experience will benefit from the University Honors Program. Growing up in a minuscule town sheltered me immensely; the kids who will walk alongside me at graduation are the same kids I graduated preschool with. College campuses, with thousands of students, seem daunting and frightening. But, with the Honors Program’s class sizes capped at twenty students, courses will mimic my high school’s, where the teachers…

Being set apart is about the journey along with the end success. I have set myself apart as a student at Texas Tech due to my leadership, ability to make outside commitments while supporting my course load, and my hard work and ability to overcome adversity.
