I wasn't going to post about this but I remembered what I posted earlier about this blog being all about ME ME ME, so here it is.
So today in American Government, I was sitting at my desk minding my own business when the professor, Dr. Anderson walked in and told me to come out to the hall to talk about something. I immediately began to stress out thinking I was in the utmost of trouble. Did she think I plagiarized my essay? Did she want those extra ten points that she accidentally awarded me for the midterms back? Did she think I was a communist committing espionage?
I cautiously left the class and entered the hall where she surprisingly offered me an opportunity to enter the Scholar's Program. Yea...the Scholar's Program. I MIGHT have a tendency to blow things out of proportion. hahaha The Scholar's Program is basically an honor's program that students can enroll in per class to beef up their transcripts that ultimately grants them priority when they apply to universities. The professor will just assign more work and seriously scrutinize your papers when grading.
Anyways, she knew I was hesistant because I kept saying stuff like , "uh...uh...I'm not sure? maybe? uh..." Although she mentioned at the beginning of the semester that a Scholar's option will not be available for Winter Intercession, she was willing to allow me to finish the course and just submit the extra paper during Spring semester to achieve the Scholar's credit for her course as an exception. She genuinely seemed interested in my education and that, in itself truly made me consider pursuing this Scholar's option. However, I'm not quite sure if I completely agreed to it by the end of our conversation. My answer surely remained rather ambiguous at its best. Whatever the outcome of this thought-to-be unlikely conversation with Dr. Anderson may be, its comforting to know that there are professors out there that truly care about their students.
