I transitioned schools mid high school and struggled to find my place in a new environment, so at first I was afraid of my first semester at Ohio State. However, this semester the transition was seamless and the Biological Science Scholars Program made that possible. Through scholars, I found a group of my best friends and people that I could always go count on to push me and help me. I did not expect the living community to be as beneficial as it has become. Through scholars events like service at a soup kitchen and moonlight canoeing I have grown to feel apart of my campus and Columbus community. I learned how to best succeed in my classes as they were much different than mine we in high school. I also learned how to manage my schedule to account for my homework, eating, sleeping, and working out in an efficient way as I started my independent life. I will use the networks I have built and lessons that I learned over the next four years.
