I do wish to continue with scholars for the spring project. A interest I am willing to to is study abroad or even travel for the spring semester. This is more of a personal goal for me because I wish to travel more outside out of the country. It does have a part to play with our Honor and Scholars goals because it ties in with academic enrichment because I want to discover more than what is in the university. I plan to start working on this when January starts or mid January. There are opportunities over winter break but I would have to raise money for this trip during then or even the expenses if I wish to travel. My first step is to plan and figure out where I want to go. My second step is where can I locate funding or when will the dates of this trip occur. I plan to meet those first two steps before March starts.
