I am incredibly grateful for every experience from the past year. My freshman year was full of extreme highs and lows, but overall I feel I’ve grown more this past year than in my entire life. Coming to Ohio State I had a misguided view of myself and my goals. Once here though, I learned quickly through my Mount Scholars program and my classes who I truly am. I’ve become much more confident in myself and have noticed a visible change in how I interact with others. This year helped me realize some skills I never knew I had. I was able to get into the Fisher Business School and feel more self-assured about my future than ever. There were a lot of drawbacks this year, but I made the most of it and feel I’ve matured greatly.
