Invited to the University of North Georgia
Summer Honors program

During my junior year, I applied for the UNG Summer Honors program and was accepted. I was one of 20 rising seniors in the north georgia region chosen to attend. There, I took college courses such as Sociology and collaborated with numerous professors to learn what it meant to be a college student. After 2 weeks of staying at the college, I was awarded the “Overall Best Essay Award” for my writing.
