EXAMPLE
One of the Best Decisions Ive made in my life
to pursue Undergraduate Research at FAU.
Conducting a study on Unconscious Plagiarism I
learned a lot about research, critical thinking,
overcoming obstacles, and myself. Additionally, I
made lasting friendships, acquired new knowledge,
and gained invaluable professional and academic
skills. Through this experience Ive become a
better person and scholar. Arely B. Baugh,
