The past year I have taken part in the Mount Scholar’s year of service! Through this program I have completed over 75 hours of service with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. Checkout highlights from the past year below!

My time at Ohio State has presented me with many opportunities and experiences that have truly changed me. Now as a sophomore, I am finally assured in major, which is Operations Management with a minor in Environment, Economy, Development, and Sustainability. Getting to this point took a lot of failure and practice, but I am confident in my new path and excited to begin my career.

This year I have begun taking my business core classes and have been surprised in how much the material interests me. I feel I am learning concepts that will help me prepare for a future career. I also have been working as a lab grader for the excel class within Fisher College of Business. I believe the skills I am learning within my campus job and classes will help me within my future job.

These skills I am developing helped me receive an internship for the summer with Williams-Sonoma. I am very interested in the manufacturing world and cannot wait to begin working with this amazing company!

Through my year of service I have been working with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio. This work has greatly boosted my confidence and optimism. Every time I go to volunteer I am amazed by how the community gathers around this organization. I have sorted through literal thousands of  pounds of donations and to see the love and time people put in to help others is really inspiring. The photo I used for this artifact shows one of these amazing donations. I am very grateful to be working with this organization because I love learning about the non profit field and seeing the community work together.

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.
