This artifact is an essay on a single story about a stereotype I had about college before it started. This essay explains how we can be closed-minded and be unaware of what the college experience is actually like. It is important that we go into new places and situations with an open mind and no pre-judgements. It is vital that individuals are able to go into new experiences willing to take in new information and change their approach to them.

This artifact is my group’s UN Millennium Goal presentation on Maternal Healthcare. This presentation showed the progress that the UN has made to decrease deaths relating to maternal healthcare and ways that we can help. Also, this presentation taught individuals about the problems in other countries, so that they can gain a global awareness and understand how they can help make a difference.
Also, the UN Millennium Goal presentation opens students’ eyes to the standards of living in countries around the world and bring attention to global issues that may shock some people. This was a great project that allowed the group to research in depth a goal in a region of the world and relay that information to the rest of the class, so that they can learn about these topics too.
About Me
My goal is to become an ESL teacher or continue on to Law school to gain a degree to become an International Adoption Attorney. I plan on majoring in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) in the College of Education and Human Ecology. In the summer of 2013, I volunteered at Jewish Vocational Services in Boston, where I worked individually with refugees from all over the world to teach them English and job skills. I loved being able to see the progression the students made throughout the summer, and I want to continue teaching and helping others. I have always been passionate about community service and giving back and I hope to continue this during my time at Ohio State and beyond. I am from Nashville, Tennessee and grew up in Maryland. My father’s family is from Israel, so I am used to thick accents and falafel and I am passionate about immersing myself in other cultures and truly experiencing different lifestyles.
