2. EXAMPLE “One of the Best Decisions I’ve 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 I’ve become a better person and scholar.” — Arely B. Baugh, Psychology (Advisor: Dr. Julie Earles, Psychology)
