Parting Words

The semester is almost over. All that is left is this blog of course, and then the final. It has honestly been my hardest semester so far in my honors journey, and i feel for all of you guys who are just joining in. But let me just leave some encouraging words.

This Honors program is a bigger gift than most of us will ever realize. I know its tough and stressful, but we have the opportunity to think, to analyze, to form opinions, to argue those in opinions, and to put them together with our imaginations an work as a class to make it real for ourselves.

The Honors program faculty, as well as most all the faculty at UM, are incredible. I encourage all of you to, at one point or another, just let them know how great a job they are doing. Realize this guys..they care about you. They care about who you are, They want you to do well, but more than anything they want you to learn and be challenged, and they want to help prepare us all to get out there and make a difference in the world. They dont have to, but they want to.

Finally, all of you are a gift. The opportunity to sit in a class with all of you guys twice a week, and fight through these issues, and these assignments, just to goof off and have fun, to get to know all of you, it's been a heck of a great time, and it makes the class all the more worth it.

So as the semester wraps up, i just want to say, Congratulations to everyone for makin it through this far. Thank you everyone for stickin with it, and pushing yourself, believing in yourself. It's been a good run, and i'll be excited to start over again next semester!
