First Semester Reflection

A lot has happened this first semester since arriving in late August. From completing requirements in STEM to my experiences outside of the classroom, I have changed immensely since the day I moved into Ohio State University. From my STEM requirements I have learned about the history of Bollywood and its connection to Indian history, as well as Iran’s modern history and the changes happening in the country. I thought I was a well cultured person before coming to Ohio State University but going to diversity events showed me that I still had a lot to learn. Along with the diversity events I have attended, I have gone to STEM related events that talk about bioengineering and how to network. The bioengineering was especially interesting to me and may have helped me better decide what career I want to pursue in STEM. Along with the STEM related events are my service events. For my service events, I made ACT videos to help high schoolers who are getting ready to take the ACT. I found the process of making videos explaining mathematical concepts to actually be enjoyable! Who knows, maybe I would be a good teacher too! Outside of STEM, I have become more adventurous and outgoing. Prior to coming to college, I was very timid but now I find myself making friends and talking to people I meet left and right. Along with that I have done things I would never dream of doing in high school, like rushing the field after the Ohio State versus Michigan game.
