I finished my Freshman year off with a GPA of a 3.696. I am very proud of the academic accomplishments that I have made this year. I feel as if I have grown significantly as a scholar; much of the curriculum that I was taught I will use throughout my life, and that is what I love about college. My goal for next year is to conduct some research by enhancing a course and to make the President’s list for at least one semester. As I begin my major, after having some trouble deciding this past year, I anticipate my growth, not only towards my teaching career but also as a citizen leader. As artifacts, I attached my Dean’s list certificate for the Fall Semester and the thank you letter that I wrote for the scholarship benefactor dinner.
