Honors Course Requirements

469 Words2 Pages

I am a very numbers oriented person. I believe that statistics and numerical ranking can show more fact than many verbal or written claims. I scored a 31 on my ACT and have a GPA of 4.1. However, “numbers” will not get me very far in this program. About 4% of students got a 31 on their ACT in 2014, and many, many more have above a 4.0 GPA. When it comes to the Honors program at CMU, numbers do not set me apart.
Engineering is a field for thinkers, builders, and problem solvers. Ever since I was a little girl I have been playing with Erector sets and Legos, and as I have grown I have begun to work on my bike, quad, or truck. My dad taught me to be a problem solver, and to question why and how parts and pieces work together to make something …show more content…

I am extremely excited to begin college and take on the challenge of Honors courses. Honors courses will both expand my knowledge and ability in not only engineering, but many aspects of my life. I truly fit all the criteria of an Honors Student. I am confident that I share the same values and characteristics of an Honors Program member such as going above and beyond and examining the world around me. My numbers alone do not show my character and commitment to scholarship and learning, or my commitment to the Barry County community around me, but my actions do. I care for my school, church, and peers and work to make things better, to improve. I wholeheartedly enjoy volunteering for my church and school, and recently have become more involved in teaching and doing work planning donation drives and events. I know the community at CMU gives back and I look forward to working with my fellow honors students in the future on projects for both school and the community. I believe that as an engineer I have the ability to create, update, and improve in both my chosen field and also as a person serving the world. “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give” - Winston Churchill. My numbers indicate that I am capable of building a life here in CMU honors, and my passions show proof that I will do so if given the

  • The Influence Of The National Honors Society

    312 Words  | 2 Pages

    The National Honors Society has been a constant but distant presence in my life ever since I was in middle school. Every once in awhile, teachers would mention our GPAs and tell us to keep them up if we wanted to be accepted into NHS, or they would attempt to coax us into behaving better by telling us that the National Honors Society frowned upon our current behavior. Back then, NHS was a prospective part of my future, and I didn’t worry too much about preparing. In my first two years of high school, I watched my fellow students in NHS work to keep up their grades up and to meet the volunteer requirements. I watched them and waited my turn to join them, because after learning what the National Honors Society really was and what it stood for,

  • See On Your Application

    556 Words  | 3 Pages

    Journal #2 The purpose of the article,“What Colleges Want to See on Your Application” by Emily Driscoll, is to discuss what would differentiate future college applicants in a pool of indistinguishable applications and to aid them in their quest for higher education. This article does have bias in that the author fails to consider Seniors, or students about to graduate from high school, who have neither challenged themselves nor engaged in their neighborhood. Driscoll assumes that their audience has been through every step from community service to recommendations, or has the opportunity to make up for lost time. In the article “What Colleges Want to See on Your Application,” Emily Driscoll discusses the contents the best application must display.

    To make a significant change in the world, countless hours of preparation, of work, and proactive cooperation with others are crucial for success. I partake in few extra-curricular activities, but I have dedicated years of my life to them all. On a regular week, I have to balance French club and National French Honor Society secretary duties, community service for National Honor Society, and additional choir practice for at least two hours after school each week (while sometimes performing community service with the choir as well). I want to become an engineer; so I take AP classes that are useful and interest me because I will need to know advanced math and science concepts in college. All of these extra-curricular activities and academics will become even more relevant when it is time for me to advance my future goals of pursuing a higher education and making significant efforts to aid the world by designing helpful technology with medical applications.

  • To New Horizons: Utopian Presentation By General Motors

    I am flattered that you would recommend me to look into the honors program, but I don’t believe that it would be a good fit for me. I talked about the “To New Horizons" presentation by General Motors in 1940. It is a utopian presentation of the world GM envisions of what the 1960’s will look like. It was based off of a miniature diorama, “Highways and Horizons” made for the World’s Fair Futurama exhibit in 1939. The value I found in this piece of history was not any commercial use GM had but their way of looking forward.
