More often than not, when I mention to someone that I’m in the Honors Program, they ask me one of two questions: “We have an Honors Program?” or “How did you get into that?” This is usually the beginning of a few more questions, which end in me explaining that I’m not taking the University Core because I’m taking the Honors Core, and I heard about it through my admission letter. Sometimes, I’d get curious looks, like they weren’t sure if I was making it all up. Other times, they’d look at me like I was holding out on them. How come they didn’t even get a chance to be part of this? Either way, I was starting to see that there was a problem here.
