Personally, community is my favorite honors pillar.  It is so ingrained not only in the honors college, but throughout Longwood University and the Farmville community.  As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”  I agree with this philosophy very much, and have been a part of a great community that works well together to reach challenging goals.  Whether I have been working on a group project, volunteering on research day, or working with fellow honors student’s for honors preview weekend, I have learned that the faculty and students at Longwood are always willing to put in the effort to see one another succeed.  As a result, I am so proud to be a Cormier honors student, a lancer, and a Farmville resident because working on something bigger than yourself is always more rewarding.
