7. Becoming a part of the Honor’s College
at Texas Tech has been one of the best
decisions I have made in college. The
faculty and staff know who I am and
genuinely care about me, they create a
family environment.
The Honor’s College been has been a
vital part in pursuing my dream of
improving education in Africa through

was able to be a part of the Honor’s
