Honors English

When I came to college, I was not expecting to be enrolled in Honors English. English is probably one of my worst subjects so I was really nervous about taking a college English class. I honestly expected ENH 111 and 112 to be exactly like every other Honors and AP English class I've taken, but it definitely wasn't; not even close. In high school my classes consisted of grammar, reading books, and writing countless papers. The Honors class here is much more intriguing and I've learned a lot more because we go into great detail on every text. I love art and I was very excited to have Dr. B. come talk to us and point out different aspects of art that many people don't notice. And I was very shocked last semester when we only had to write one paper. We had to write two papers this semester, but I was very relieved we didn't have one every week or every other week.

This past year has been a wonderful college experience and I give this class credit for it. I may not enjoy every topic we discuss or the amount of reading we are required to do, but I do enjoy the atmosphere, the people, and the teachers. All of our teachers have been incredible! I love that Dr. Mitchell is so spontaneous and that he challenges us to dig deeper into each subject and stretch our minds. I am so happy I decided to stick with the Honors Program and I can't wait to see what the next years have in store.
