Honors Program

 

            What do you feel you will contribute to the HPSC?.
             The Honors Program at the University of Georgia brings together one of the most gifted, diverse, and active groups of people not only on campus, but in the country. I am totally honored to be a part of this "institution." If lucky enough to be appointed to the HPSC, I will be able to bring my diverse background, my various international travel experiences, my love for extracurricular activities, and an overall point of view that will be able to express the opinions of many people. Any organization or event that I commit myself to, I obligate myself to perform the tasks at hand at the fullest of my abilities and do not believe in doing anything half-heartedly. I consider myself a "leader" and enjoy taking responsibilities, making decisions, and being held accountable for my actions. Furthermore, if appointed to the HPSC, I will make it one of my top priorities and be able to dedicate lots of hours to its causes and goals. .
