Honor's Statements

To be a hardworking, responsible, and goal-oriented member in the Honors College at IUPUI. But I will also strive to collaborate and communicate with other members of our community. To use these values and qualities throughout my journey at IUPUI I will be able to grow as an individual and to help my community grow too.

I want to strive to become more engaged in my community, both my academic community and the Indianapolis community as a whole. I want to graduate successfully while still playing the sport I love while in undergrad. After undergrad, I want to go to graduate school to get a master’s in forensic psychology. Then, I want to become a forensic psychologist where I can help apply psychological theory to criminal investigations and help treat those who have committed offenses. I want to help people who are struggling mentally realize that there is hope and somehow become a part of that hope for them even if the legal system is involved.

I want to become a more compassionate person while pursuing a loving and authentic life. I hope to become a respectful, balanced, and loyal member of society where people treat me the same. I want to become someone who continues to discipline themselves and persevere through all challenges that come their way. I want to become a role model for people so that they come to
me for advice whenever they need help with something.

I want to become more motivated, positive, and joyful during my time at IUPUI and beyond. I want to grow more as an individual by becoming more organized, sharing my story to help others, and taking advantage of more opportunities while I can. I want to become more welcoming and speak out more so that I can connect to others more. Finally, I want to be proud of the things I have accomplished and the memories I have made.

These statements helped me do a self-reflection of my character after starting college. I was able to identify my qualities, values, and skills as an incoming honors college student. Then, I used this as a guide to focus on what I want to do in the future. I was able to create future goals and values/skills I wanted to continue during my time as an honors student at IUPUI. Overall, it helped me to analyze my plans and to create an overview of who I want to be in the future.
