Vision Statement/Statement of Action
College is a period of extreme change marking the transition between a state of dependence, to one of self-sufficiency. When I arrived at OSU, I was overwhelmed by its enormous size and I felt like a small fish in a big pond, but the abundant resources available to help the new students become successful allowed me to explore my interests and focus my course of study. I have recently completed my second-year as an undergraduate student pursing a degree in Molecular Genetics, with a pre-medical designation. I’ve known that I wanted to work in the medical field from an early age, because I want to make a difference in people’s lives, and I work effectively under high pressure conditions. Ultimately, I want to graduate medical school and practice medicine, although I am not exactly sure what type yet. I am eager to gain clinical and research experience while I am attending OSU.
With the remaining time that I have left here at OSU I intend to make the most of the resources that the campus in Columbus has to support students. I am extremely excited to join a research team in the fall and gain valuable experience working in a labratory setting. I also want to continue my involvement in extracurricular activities like Helix tri-Beta, and take my leadership in these clubs to a new level. Finally, I will strive to keep my academic rigor high, I am currently adding a minor in Bioethics offered by the College of Medicine, as well as considering a minor in Evolution/Ecology, I am taking classes in both during the next semester and hopefully I will add them both. I plan to graduate in four years on time!
