When I was younger, I didn’t care about school that much, and my GPA wasn’t so hot. After being away from school for several years, I went back in '05, with a much better attitude, and have since earned all As and Bs. I recently graduated from Portland State University with a 3.55 GPA, but my overall GPA is only 2.7 or so.
Before I enrolled at PSU a couple of years ago, I attended PCC, one of the community colleges here, for one quarter. I took two classes there, and got As in both - thus I have a 4.0 GPA at that school.
I’m in the process of getting my unofficial transcripts together (six colleges) in order to apply for a job with the federal government, and earlier tonight I visited PCC’s web site for the first time in more than two years. I made an interesting discovery, something I don’t recall seeing before: they have me listed as an Honors Student, and I’m on the “President’s List.” If only they knew about my sordid past…
Anyway, on online job applications, there’s usually a place to list honors, awards, and what not. Would it be stupid to mention this newly discovered “award” of mine, or list it on my resume? I’m inclined to think so.
