| Honors Program Co-Presidents |
I have always been an overachiever and I will keep on being one because it is just so rewarding! Since I enrolled at Santa Barbara City College, I have been part of the Honors Program, and no semester went by without taking an honors class. Taking honors classes could be described as a FREE upgrade of your college education… Come on! Who doesn’t like FREE things? So, I immediately took this amazing chance of making my college career even more successful though joining the program, and just a few days ago I received the invitation to the Honors Program gala.
At the end of every spring semester, the Honors Program organizes a gala to congratulate the students who have completed the Honors Certificate through taking at least six honors classes before receiving an Associate Degree or transferring. I finished the honors certificate this semester and I could not wait to dress fancy, meet with my honors peers, and receive the Honors Program stole!!! The event was held at the John Dunn Gourmet Dining Room where there was lots of free food and fancy tables. As soon as I arrived I saw all my friends dressed up on point for the event and we enjoyed eating dinner together.
Right after dinner, Professor Melanie Eckford-Prossor stood up and delivered a wonderful speech that reminded me the wonderful, and at the same time painful times, of my English 110 class with her. Professor MEP is one of the best professors I have ever taken, and her class was so open minding and inspiring that now I reason and analyze things in a total different way. Before taking her class I was scared to write papers, during the class I was terrified to write my papers, but after taking the class I can nail down any essay that is assigned to me. Today it was the day that repaid me for my all the efforts… I stood up, stated my name and received the Honors Program stole. Amazing day.
