\"Me.\"<\/a>

Me.<\/p><\/div>\n

Integrity can have a variety of different definitions, but the simplest I have found is doing what you say you\u2019re going to do\u2014keeping promises to yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before I came into the residential college, one of my main priorities happened to be finding friends. I knew that friendships were extremely important. Of course, it is wonderful to have people you can spend time with, learning about their lives and just having fun together, but friendships also happen to be connections for the future. If I become good friends with people in classes pertaining to my major, we can all work together to achieve success in our field\u2014and possibly even help each other out some time down the road. <\/span><\/p>\n

I believe that putting my face and my name out there is also very important. Luckily, the residential colleges on campus have many events that you can attend and even help out with. During these events, you meet plenty of new people, including RA\u2019s and RHA\u2019s that you would not have met before. I said, before coming to college, that I wanted to get more involved. Thanks to these events, I have successfully been able to do this. <\/span><\/p>\n

As well as getting involved, I promised myself that I would help out others more in any way that I can. In the residential colleges, we are given many opportunities to help others out. Currently, we are doing a book drive for St. Jude\u2019s hospital. This gives students in my dorm the chance to give their old books away to children who would definitely enjoy them much more. <\/span><\/p>\n

Integrity is important. By being in a residential college, I have been able to achieve more goals, uphold more integrity, than I believed possible before. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
