I love the University Honors Program because it gives me an opportunity to expand my knowledge outside of my major. It allows me to explore things that I probably wouldn't even consider if given the chance. It's a place for me to be myself. Build connections and make new friends.

My favorite honors experience so far has definitely been UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS! Dr.McGee has been the best professor I have ever had. This honors seminar gave me a chance to discuss topics that were considered "closed door" conversations for so long. It was a safe atmosphere for me to speak my mind, and debate with my peers on various topics. This seminar had nothing to do with health sciences whatsoever, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

My best UC moment so far has been getting accepted into the university honors program! I think this has been the best opportunity thus far and has opened many doors like... Working in UC's neuro-recovery lab, being a part of a team who formed the first UC Pre-PT club, and so much more. Not to mention being here at UC I met my best friend Ariel (hey girl!).

 Honestly, I don't know. I do know I will be applying for graduate school this year. I will be continuing to lay the foundation for my club. I will be trying new things. I will be enjoying life. 

What's next? Making the most out of this year!
