HC Is More Than Leadership

"Honours College where the creation of knowledge is lived and leaders of the future are fostered." Yes, this is true. Nonetheless, in my opinion, it does not say it all because I think the Honours College is more than that, as well as what it is perceived by the others. It does not only provide you knowledge about leadership, it also provides you inspirations.

What I am trying to say is that the HC is not only a place where you can foster, develop and apply your leadership ability. Being in the HC, you are also inspired to think. I did not usually think before I became an HC student. However, since the HC provides me a lot of opportunities to meet people from different walks of life and broaden my horizon, I gradually foster the habit of thinking. On top of that, having 38 excellent students as classmates, it is impossible and inevitable to always think about how to improve yourself and learn from each of them. Now, I often think about the direction of my life, aspirations, relationships with people around, deeds and attitude, etc. And I contend that the ability to think is essential to one's growth because it helps one makes bettter decision and also becomes a better person.

The HC also makes you change. I still remember what I wanted to improve for my behavioral change project in the first semester, which was learning to become more cooperative. Up to now I am still checking to see if I have really changed even though the project has been done already. You know what? I am pretty sure I have! To be honest, even if we had not had the behavioral change project, it is certain that I would still change my behavior gradually because I realize that you need to be very collaborative in every second being in the HC. What's more is that the HC does not only change your behavior but also your attitude and your way of thinking because it is a place full of inspirations.

I am aware of and glad about the progress I have made so far but I am not satisfied yet. Just because the HC has inspired me so much, I expect to have more so that I can further my personal development. And I hope all my classmates are feeling the same way too.

Cheers,
