Year in Review

[ “Year in Review”  is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student.  You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.  For more guidance on using your ePortfolio, including questions and prompts that will help you get started, please visit the Honors & Scholars ePortfolio course in Carmen.

G.O.A.L.S.

 

  • Global Awareness: For me, global awareness means that I finish each year with more experience of other’s cultures than I started with. To become more globally aware I want to interact and study more with the international students. If possible, I also want to do research or study abroad; however, this is difficult to due because of expenses related to travel. I also want to take classes that introduce me to other cultures in the world.
  • Original Inquiry: For me, original inquiry means learning through methods other than attending lectures and classes. To achieve this, I want to do research in my junior and senior year. Even if the research I do is not groundbreaking, experiencing research myself will help me understand and learning in different ways.
  • Academic Enrichment: For me, academic enrichment ties in closely with global awareness and original inquiry. I want to enrich my academic experience by taking intensive classes that introduce me to other cultures and ideas from around the world. I also want to tie in research I do to classes I take to help me develop a better understanding of those classes.
  • Leadership Development: I want to further my leadership development by getting more involved in residential life. Whether that consists of becoming an RA, joining hall council, or other residence life activities, I would love to be more involved in residence life to further my leadership development.
  • Service Engagement: There are a few different service activities that interest me. In high school, I was very involved in special olympics, and I would love to continue to volunteer with special olympics. However, there are a lot of other service opportunities on campus that are interesting. I could volunteer at the planetarium, or do other more academic volunteer opportunities.  There are so many volunteer opportunities around campus, and I would love to do any of them.
