In the future I would like to continue to intertwine Scholars with my collegiate career by continuing to participate in meetings and hopefully signing up for the next travel class, as Chicago was an amazing experience in Chicago. Additionally, I will continue to do the fun and diverse Scholars activities and continue my community service. In regard to becoming more involved in OSU, I would like to become more active in clubs and activities such as Hillel to spend time with some of my Jewish friends. In respect to exploring classes and majors, as I have become uncertain about my future, I would like to explore Political Science and Architecture. In addition to taking history and architecture classes, I would like to enroll in a Jewish Studies class in order to become more knowledgeable about my religion. Also, I feel a need to shadow several different occupations in order to help guide my search for a major as it would be beneficial experience to see, in person, what people actually do. In order to earn money next semester, I would like to work at the library: its a quiet place, there isn’t a terrible amount of work, I already spend a large amount of time there and it will be enjoyable to work in silence, which will allow me to reflect on my thoughts. Lastly, studying abroad in Europe is highly preferable, specifically either England or Spain as I want to immerse myself in European culture and I am well versed in English and Spanish. Also, if I studied abroad in either of those countries I can visit any other European country, since they are very close to one another as well as finally see many of my favorite soccer teams, from across the pond, live.  All the above statements thoroughly meet the requirements of G.O.AL.S. set out by the Honors & Scholars Curriculum.

For Global Awareness, Studying Abroad in Spain or England will meet this requirement, as hinted above by immersing myself in their culture. Original inquiry, I would like to do the STEP program that was discussed in Scholars this past week as it was extremely interesting, that we as the student can develop our own research opportunity and present it in a unique way. Though not directly addressed above, I would obliviously like to maintain a 3.3-3.7, however this is contingent on my classes and major that I choose. Scholars will allow me to actively pursue diverse types of service from petting rabbits to park clean up. And for leadership I would like to become a floor rep next year and become involved in student government. Hopefully, for my future at OSU I can use this journal as the starting point and outline to fully enjoy my time here.
