[Reflection]
This project was an excellent process for considering the challenges that students, especially honors students, face before they affected my ability to thrive academically. By processing the challenge and providing research-based solutions we prepared solutions for common symptoms of the increased workload associated with college and the honor's experience such as burnout, FONO, and mental health. These solutions were compiled in our ePortfolio style presentation tool. The process of building these presentations and observing and commenting on others' presentations allowed me to become aware of and prepared to face these challenges.
This project was also an excellent way to network with fellow honors scholars. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with and learn from my classmates. The project overall was an excellent icebreaker and allowed me to feel connected and supported by my fellow honors scholars.
