I, personally, have always sought quality education throughout all of my educational endeavors and it is simple to see that FIU Honors is the epitome of academic excellence. I desire to join FIU's Honors College because I believe the challenging curriculum will allow me to develop into a better educator in the near future. I am certain I will be able to execute the leadership and innovative skills, derived from FIU Honors, in my own classroom. As an aspiring English major, FIU Honors will allow me to sharpen my analytical and critical thinking skills needed to, figuratively, "dissect" and explore the beauty that is English literature, language, and composition. The Honors College can provide many benefits for me academically. The advanced research and exciting study abroad programs are both mediums in which I can thoroughly acquire knowledge on a hands-on basis with a global perspective. The connectivity aspects of the Honors College will allow me to connect the real world with the classroom, allowing me to compare and contrast situations in a deeper way. To top it off, the Honors College will grant me the chance to involve myself with the vivid, lively South Florida community and contribute to the common good.

The thought of joining Florida International University's Honors College enthuses me as I am prepared and willing to incorporate my creativity into something I am passionate about: learning. The Honors College will not only allow me to advance academically, but also entrust me with a well-rounded education which I can carry out in my life for years to come. I have always yearned to be a Knight, but it would be a privilege to be a Knight of Honor.
