Honor Trip Essay

522 Words3 Pages

Paris, France, the city of love, what girl hasn’t dreamed of traveling there? Well, this girl certainly has. Berlin, Germany is another enchanting city that has shaped our world into what it is today. This is another place I’ve been dying to explore. The Honors trip would not only give me the chance to visit these breathtaking cities, but also enhance my experience as an Honors student at the University of Arizona. For me this program was like love at first sight. Like I said, I have been dreaming about going to Paris ever since I was a little girl. Going to Paris and seeing attractions, such as the Louvre and Eiffel Tower, is a once in a lifetime experience that I do not want to miss out on. For me, there is no better time to do …show more content…

As an introvert, I often struggle to make new friends. Going on this trip will force me to connect with other Honors students, just like myself. This will truly make me feel like I am a part of the Honors community. I also hope to gain a better understanding of other cultures and traditions while abroad. As an Honors student, I feel is it important to have a strong cultural understanding of others. Because I have never been out of the country before, my exposure to other cultures has been limited by borders. The Honors Trip will allow me to expand my horizons beyond just American culture, which is important to my understanding and acceptance of others. Leadership and independence are two important qualities for Honors Students to possess. By going on this trip, I hope to further develop both my leadership skills as well as my independence. As mentioned earlier, I am an introvert who struggles to get out of her own bubble. The Honors Experience is all about getting out of one’s bubble and not being afraid of change. This trip is my chance to pop that bubble and do something I would have usually never even considered, for fear of the unknown. The confidence I gain from this experience will encourage me to get more involved and speak up for myself, as well as others, a quality that every Honors wildcat should have. This trip also serves as a true test of my

  • Peace Corps Scholarship Essay

    502 Words  | 3 Pages

    I want to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer because I feel deeply in debt to all the people I have done volunteer work for. These people have made me stronger, have given me greater understanding of the world around me, have taught me things that I will never find in a book or when sitting in class. Yet I have only been able to give back hours at a time. Due to this, I feel like I have had my time to flourish and grow, and now is my opportunity to really help others do the same. The Peace Corps is my best option to do so because it will allow me to integrate myself fully into volunteer work for a significant time period, it will allow me to work within a potentially novel community to do volunteer work that most benefits them, and will give me the ability to connect directly with those in the community.

    Through the process of gaining confidence, students feel better about being able to communicate ideas across different cultures, which is similar to what Stebleton wanted to accomplish. However, Williams added the second stage, humility, which Stebleton and his co-workers did not address. Williams wants students to accept that there are differences and it is okay to have one’s opinions and beliefs challenged if positive results can come from it. Humility adds a dimension to the development which allows the self to gain a deeper awareness of global issues. The study abroad program at OSU, in Williams opinion, is a perfect combination of failing and growing from it, which is a part of the global
