Honors Forum II: November 26, 2012
Dr. Barry Morris was a great speaker to finish out the Fall 2012 semester of the Honors Forum. He taught at UNA for 35 years! That's almost twice the amount of time I've been in the world. So yeah, a pretty long time. Aside from that, he is now a City Council member.
I feel like Dr. Morris was quite possibly the most realistic speaker we've had in the Honors Forum. He was very down to Earth, and even showed us his budget plan that he shared with his own sons. He called it "How To Become A Millionaire Without Winning the Lottery." Pretty cool, if you ask me!
Another thing that I enjoyed about Dr. Morris was his passion for UNA. If you watch my Fall 2012 Recap video you will see that I considered transferring to UAH because it is a more research based institute, which is what I want to pursue with my career. However, I'm so glad that I decided to stay at UNA because I really do love it here. And Dr. Morris's love for UNA made me even happier about it. He told us that being from a small school like UNA is a great thing, because people will underestimate us, and then we can show them what we really can accomplish.
The Fall 2012 semester truly ended on a positive note for me. I've loved my experience at UNA thus far, and I can't wait to see what these next few semesters have in store!
Always, Kalee
