“Quality” Defined
Sunday, July 20th, 2008An interesting question was asked of me at the Dr. Scharder Brunch: “What do you mean by ‘quality’?” Well, truthfully, I thought (and still do think) that everyone knows what a quality student is, one that makes a positive impact on the campus, on fellow students and/or in the classroom. It really has nothing to do with GPAs or SAT scores. It has nothing to do with how many organizations you were president of, nor where you come from. What matters is that you add something beautiful to your surroundings through your actions and ideas. And I don’t mean planting flowers. Do you try to help others? Do you try your hardest in your studies? Do you participate in activities on your campus? Do you try to speak kindly to others? Do you try to put forth an effort in whatever you undertake? Do you question things that don’t seem right? Do you try to leave your campus a little better than it was when you got there? Do you reach out to those who need a friendly shoulder? Any one of these things and so many others can make you a “quality” student.
So, my definition of the “quality” Brenau Women is an individual who makes an effort to be a positive contributing member in the Brenau Community.
What’s your idea of a “quality” student?
