For this weeks blog we were asked to write a blog about what the Hixson award means to us individually. To me the award gave me something to look forward to in the fall coming to college. Being able to attend a state university and not having to worry about having a job while in school to pay for expenses I would say is a big relief.
But being a Hixson scholar is more than just being able to receive a scholarship and attending extra classes. As a group we are know as some of the better students who look out and help other students.
Through the Hixson program we were able to meet new people. Whom we latter may find out we enjoy talking to and carrying conversations. We are pushed out of our comfort zones to do things as a group. A big thing that I enjoy is the special events that we can look forward to going to, such as football tailgates, pumpkin carving, and bingo. So it provides with things to look forward to do besides just studying and taking test all week.
I agree that it is really awesome to meet new people! I mean we wouldn't have met each other if it weren't for us getting this scholarship!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool that people here do know that Hixson scholars are known and that we are leaders. Also it was nice to meet new people through this!

I agree with what you said about meeting new people and making new friends. I have met people in our group that I probably would never have met before through this program.
