INTRODUCTION
Change and growth that accompanies it are vital parts of obtaining goals and creating new objectives. In my second year of undergraduate study, I created a detailed journey map of how I thought the next three years would transpire and a broad view of my life after graduation. Throughout my years as an undergraduate at IU Indianapolis, I have encountered advantages as well as obstacles that helped to shape the true journey I had and will affect my future. For HON-H496, I recreated a journey map that encompasses the opportunities I have received and the goals I have achieved at IU Indianapolis. This journey map represents my academic, professional, and personal progression I have made.
REFLECTION
When reflecting on the journey I initially believed I would take throughout college, I realized that I had a very clear idea of how I wanted my college career to go. I focused on huge milestones that were evident, barring any major life changes. However, thinking about the actual journey I have had, I am grateful for the numerous opportunities I have received and the personal connections I have been able to make. I think my initial journey map was really simple and was a superficial demonstration of the goals I wished to achieve. While I did achieve many of those goals, I was also able to create and achieve goals I had never envisioned. One of the greatest goals I have achieved during my time in the honors program was maintaining a 4.00 grade point average. Reaching this goal not only demonstrates my intelligence and hard work in courses, but also represents my ability to understand and appreciate the vast knowledge required for different subjects. My updated journey map represents more detailed goals I made along the way and achievements I aim to carry out in the future.
