Honors student perspective

My favorite project was something I did in my psycho-pharmacology class because it challenged me the most. I did a paper that was very hard for me to write because it wasn’t the easiest subject to grasp. I really had to work hard at it, and that was something that I really enjoyed. I like being challenged.

I developed good relationships with my professors that lead to a research mentorship (a program through the Honor’s program) in my major, and that lead to an independent research study where it was my own research. In the mentorship program I was helping with a professor’s research and learning what that process was about, and as a senior was able to do my own research with their guidance.

I definitely think that I have had that in my college career and have tried to achieve as much as I can while I’ve been here, not always in the classroom but outside the classroom as well. I’m trying to build the most well rounded type of person I could with all the opportunities here at Illinois State. There are definitely those opportunities here.
