Update on G.O.A.L.S.
- Global Awareness: Through my sociology courses I have started to glean a more large scale understanding of the society. With so many valuable insights in this field I’ve decided to go for a sociology minor. I also have begun to look for new cultural experiences outside of my own. I may not have any plans to study abroad, but taking more adventures and going out of my way to enjoy other cultures is definitely on my agenda.
- Original Inquiry: I’ve just gotten started in a cognitive development research lab. It’s been great to see the fluid changes that happen throughout the research process when before I thought it would be so rigid and dull. I plan to get even more involved with this lab to get a larger understanding of what other projects are going on in the lab. I also plan to try a social psychology lab course in the coming years.
- Academic Enrichment: My honors contract demonstrates a commitment to following a set path of courses to build a well rounded education for myself. The majority of my courses are rooted in Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology. This follows my interest in understanding humans on a larger scale.
- Leadership Development: I’ve been starting to take on more leadership roles at work, from training new employees to managing small groups of people in unique situations. I’ve seen developments in effective time management in getting assignments and objectives in a timely manner. I’m hoping these time management skills will carry through to help me in graduate school.
- Service Engagement: I’ve recently been fortunate enough to join the Boo Radley Society! This has given me many opportunities to spread positivity and kindness on a larger scale to students and faculty on campus. I plan to stay involved with the group all the way through senior year.
