G.O.A.L.S.
Throughout the course of the next four years, I plan to fulfill the global awareness through including travel into my study. I would like to do a study abroad program for a semester, however, I am unsure if this will be feasible for me. If I cannot study abroad, I want to take a trip abroad during a school break and spend some time shadowing doctors and other medical professionals. Two places I would love to travel to and learn from doctors there are Italy and Spain. I have always wanted to travel to Italy in order to experience the remnants of all the history that occurred there. Additionally, I have been learning to speak Spanish since I was young and consequently, love the language. I have dreamed of traveling to Spain, speaking the language with native speakers, and experiencing the culture I have learned about my entire life. At some point in my undergraduate career, I plan to fulfill this dream. To fulfill original inquiry, I will participate in research at some point in my undergraduate career. I hope to be involved in research in the neuroscience field as that is my major and the topic I in which I am most interested. I love that there still many mysteries in the field of neuroscience and I hope to contribute to solving some of those mysteries. I will fulfill academic enrichment through choosing courses with rigor that will challenge me as a student. Therefore, I will take upper level and honors courses throughout my four years at Ohio State. To fulfill leadership development I will find an extra curricular club that I am passionate about. Although I am unsure what organization I would like to join yet, when I find one that I love, I want to take on a leadership role within the club. However, if I cannot find organization that I feel suits me, I would like to start my own. Specifically, I would be interested in started a book club, where each month students decide on a book to read and then come together to talk about opinions and insights regarding the book. Finally, I will fulfill service engagement through volunteering in the community, specifically volunteering at hospitals and in clinical environments. I would specifically like to volunteer at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Throughout high school, I volunteered at local hospitals and my favorite volunteer experience was in the children’s hospital. I would love to work children again as I am considering a medical career in pediatrics.

About Me
Hello! My name is Olivia Collier and I’m from a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I am currently a third year student at The Ohio State University, studying Neuroscience on a Pre-Medicine Track. I am also pursuing a minor in Spanish as I have been studying the language since kindergarten and would love to be fluent. After college I plan to go to medical school in hopes of one day accomplishing my dream of becoming a physician. Throughout my college career at Ohio State my goals include completing undergraduate research, finding a way to incorporate my studies with travel (whether through study abroad programs, service-learning trips, or other travel-study opportunities), and gaining clinical experience in professional, medical environments. Some of my passions include reading for pleasure, spending time with my friends, family, and two dogs, and working out.
