GOALs is an acronym by which the Honors and Scholars work towards in their academic and personal lives. G is global awareness, O is original inquiry, A is academic enrichment, L is leadership development, and S is service engagement. For my first year at Ohio State, I want to focus on and develop my leadership development and service engagement. So far in my first semester, I have been involved in both. To develop original inquiry,I’m in the process of finding a research position in my intended field. I’m hopeful to find a research position for this summer that is involved with engineering. To develop service engagement, I have participated in clean up projects around the city of Columbus. Throughout the semester, I will continue to develop these skills by connecting with my peers and professors, as well as volunteering and finding a research position.
