Gateway to University Honors
Gateway to University Honors is a course that all University of Cincinnati Honors students take. The course provides an introduction to what the Honors Program at the University of Cincinnati is, what opportunities Honor students have, and what the Honors experience will be like over the next few years.
One of the major topics the course emphasizes is reflection. Honor students are required to complete five experiences that are meant to encourage students to explore new topics and discover their passions. Students then reflect on how these experiences had an impact on them and how they have grown as a person.
During Gateway to University Honors, I have learned that it is important to take a step back from what I do and reflect on what the experience taught me and how I can use the experience to grow in the future. During my time at UC, I will experience many new situations. Reflecting on these new experiences can help me discover what I am passionate about and connect that passion to a larger purpose in life. I have never been one to take time to reflect on what I have done. I know I will be pushed outside of my comfort zone like never before, and it will be by reflecting that I will learn new information about myself. Over the next few years, I plan to become much more conscious of what impact both Honors and everyday experiences have on me to help me further discover my interests and grow as a person.
