[ “G.O.A.L.S.” is a place where students write about how their planned, current, and future activities may fit into the Honors & Scholars G.O.A.L.S.: Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement.

Global Awareness: I would like to do study abroad and I appreciate the differences everyone brings to the table but it’s just a matter of understanding and getting to know someone which might be a problem. For example, all this unnecessary division with football I can understand both sides but it’s annoying how people focus on only one side when there are two sides of the story.
Original Inquiry: taking Intro to Psych this semester gives me an open opportunity to learn more from the research of others and how it may be able to benefit people. I do not think I would feel comfortable actively researching a topic because I’m afraid that I might get poor information and either get the backlash for terrible data or I will influence terribly someone else’s life.
Academic Enrichment: I used to be able to achieve grades at a high level but that was because of parental intervention when necessary. Now on my own although I am now doing well my GPA is uncharacteristically low for my usual performance but I hope to be able to as before achieve at a high level
Leadership Development: Personally I feel uncomfortable in the capacity of being a leader but MOUNT has shown that if done right all the pressure of a decision or the weight of the success of the project doesn’t necessarily have to fall on you as the leader. When I think of a leader it’s someone who is comfortable talking with others and handless pressure well as well as if necessary delegating tasks and being well equipped to handle anything (ask Zach I was not ready to handle Buck-I-frenzy as a captain with the walkie-talkies)
Service Engagement: Unfortunately (ask Jill) I’ve been wicked delayed on YOS so i’m very behind on that so but MOUNT and all it brings is still important to me so I don’t plan on not doing a YOS it’s just a matter of finding the site and getting the hours for me at this point
