Each year, the Honors Program requires its students to reflect on year that has passed. This reflection is an opportunity for us to celebrate our successes, understand our mistakes, and create a plan to grow and develop in the coming year. Students can document this reflection in several ways, including videos, songs, artwork, poetry, and a reflection essay. Below, you will find my reflection essays, one for each year as an undergraduate at UC. Each essay is, at its core, something I can look back on with a smile. Each marks milestones in my life as an undergraduate student, and in reading them you can see how I have changed and grown.
