Annie Talks!

Hello everyone!

For those of you that do not know me, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Annie Black and I’m about a full semester away from graduating from FLCC with my Nutrition and Dietetics A.A.S. Honors has been apart of my life since beginning at FLCC. No matter how far I am from campus, Honors has been there for me.

Earlier this year I had to take a break from academics for my mental health. It has been a long year full of all kinds of change and growth. I am anxious to be back in classes this Spring 2020 semester, and to get back to some sort of normal since this pandemic began.

So what does FLCC Honors mean to me?

Honors is knowing I’m not alone, no matter how isolated the pandemic has made me feel. Honors is knowing that I still have even more support from my FLCC family. Breaks from anything can be difficult, but for me it’s school. It’s something that

challenges me like no other, and something that I can proudly say is earned through my hard work and dedication. Honor’s helps give me that sense of pride and adds to the challenge in all the best ways. Honors is why I know I’ll be able to get back on track with my education and continue to learn and grow. Honors teaches me that there is a place for me, and it’s the most amazing place to be. There’s going to be a lot of roads to travel down throughout my educational path. I’m going to be working for a Master’s degree. Honors program, at FLCC is preparing me for this journey, and I couldn’t ask for better help. Honors is home to me, like I hope it is for you. 

I want to wish everyone good luck on their journeys in life.

Stay healthy and safe my friends!
-Annie Black
