There are so many beautiful spots on Georgia State’s campus, but my favorite beyond all others is located at 100 Auburn Avenue. The Honors College is important not only for it’s ideal locale, but also because it has had a profound effect on my studies and life as a whole. The Honors College is a place where I feel welcome and cared for, which is sometimes hard to find on a campus as extensive as Georgia State’s. While I tend to study at the library or at one of the various coffee shops around town, I find that the Honors College is the quietest place to finish assignments or catch up on some leisure reading. Through the Honors College, I was able to receive the Presidential Scholarship. This scholarship is the most profound and influential aspect of my life thus far. Without this scholarship, school would not have been a viable option for me. So, I am extremely indebted to the Honors College, as the Presidential Scholarship has allowed be to grow as a person, pursue my studies, and fulfill the things I never dared to dream- like traveling to Ireland. I also have found some of my best guidance at the Honors College. One of my greatest mentors was also a Presidential Scholar, as are some of my greatest friends. I have found that the people that work in the Honors College are some of my greatest advocates, and they believe in me and my studies even when I have doubts. Above all, the Honors College has provided me a home while at State. A home in the sense that I feel accepted and encouraged, advocated for and always welcome.
