As a student at the SAU Honors College, there are academic feats I wish to accomplish during my time at Southern Arkansas University. I plan to keep my GPA as close to 3.8 as possible, my engineering classes willing. I would also like to earn at least 100 hours of volunteer work throughout my tenure. As an honors student, I believe it is natural that I should help on campus and in our community. Regarding a Mechanical Engineering major, I want to have at least one internship. Having an internship would add more to my resume; also providing a look into the potential environment I would be working in.
Outside of what I want to achieve at school, I wish to accomplish a few of my traveling goals. To go back to the Philippines, especially for an extended period, would be wonderful. The brief time I visited my mother’s birthplace was great; I would love to catch up with that side of the family after so long. I have also thought about visiting Germany as my friend has told me of his wonderful experiences over there. In general, I would like to familiarize myself with unfamiliar cultures to widen my world view.
As for personal goals, the idea of having a fully built project car has been an aspiration of mine for many years. There have been specific vehicles I have thought about working on, such as a Chevrolet S10 or a simple Honda Civic Si. However, I am holding off on committing to one until I have the funding and time. The most important personal goal I have at the moment is to learn my mother’s native language. It’s something I deeply regret not asking about sooner, and I wish to rectify that soon.
