Since it’s Phi Theta Kappa<\/a> Awareness Week, I wanted to take a moment to talk about my reasons for joining the organization and explain how it has helped me in my journey to attain my bachelor\u2019s degree at St. Petersburg College<\/a>. When I first joined PTK, I was like many people who initially feel that PTK membership was just something that I could put on my resume and a way to get cool graduation attire. That was before I had the chance to learn what PTK actually is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research into the\norganization showed that PTK was a lot more than a way to access scholarships\nand get graduation regalia. In my eyes, Phi Theta Kappa is an organization that\nwants to help its members be the best scholars, leaders and people that they\ncan be. They are an enabler of dreams, comprised of individuals who want to\ngenuinely change the lives of people in their community and beyond. PTK is an\norganization of deep thinkers and people who feel that they have a\nresponsibility to stand at the front of change and make a difference. It is\nalso a group dedicated to ensuring that its members have the ability to succeed\nin whatever they do. Learning all of these things made me reevaluate my reason for\njoining and pushed me to think about all of the ways that I could serve my\ncommunity while excelling as a scholar and a leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now serving as the chapter president of St. Petersburg College’s Alpha Omega Beta Chapter of PTK, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to serve! It is my personal goal, and the shared goal of our officer team, to help our members succeed in their academic careers and beyond. We want to support your dreams, your efforts, and encourage your growth inside the classroom and out in the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, after learning all of this and all of the wonderful things that PTK offers its members, including research opportunities, scholarships and soft skills training, I decided to continue my college journey past my bachelor\u2019s degree and into my master\u2019s. I would encourage any and all college students to take part in their chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, and accept all the support and camaraderie that the organization offers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
