Scholarship was something that all my professors stressed its importance, even the non-honors classes. While all my classes focused and accepted nothing but my best work and effort, my English 165 class and Political Science 100  course are the two classes that focused the most on scholarship. English 165, being an honors class, did push me to work harder and put in more effort, however it was a class that was fun for me and exciting to see how my work paid off. We wrote paper and read just like every other english class, but in this class we also had creative assignments in and out of class that pushed the mind to think out of the box and really explore our own creativity. The assignments in this class were so unique and interesting that it did not feel like homework when I was working on them. I looked forward to doing the work for this class as well as seeing how well I improved from past scores. In the Political Science 100 class, we learned all about the government. Coming in, I knew there was going to be a lot of papers, one every Thursday actually. While this stressed me out in the beginning, once I figured out how to properly manage my time, and how to organize the papers in advance, the papers became very easy and almost enjoyable. I loved to learn about the current events and how they applied to past historical events. I also looked forward to see how I improved each time on the papers and on the tests as well. Both of these courses required some of my best work whether it was my creativity or my time management. These two classes have taught me valuable lessons in scholarship that will help me not only for the rest of my time at Longwood as a student but also as an athlete; not to mention it will also help me in my life after college.
