Year in Review
[ “Year in Review” is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student. You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.

G.O.A.L.S.
Global Awareness– Global awareness to me, means that you are knowledgeable about different cultures around the world. This means you don’t assume that everyone lives the same and is treated the same way as you. Even in the United States, we don’t even have equal treatment, so it would be hard to assume that everyone is treated like how Americans are treated. One thing I would like to do to become more globally aware is study abroad. I feel that if I were to receive my education while overseas, I could understand the lifestyle of others while trying to gain knowledge in other areas.
Service Engagement– Service engagement is something that I feel everyone has a duty to do. As residents on this Earth, we should give back to make the world a better place for others. It would work best if everyone took up something that they enjoyed so that they could put forth their full effort when giving back to the community. For me, I enjoy working with animals and I am happy to be volunteering at the Franklin County Dog Shelter, where I walk the dogs to make sure they get enough exercise. It doesn’t have to be a long time that you give back, because every little bit helps someone in need.
Career
[“Career” is where you can collect information about your experiences and skills that will apply to your future career. Like your resume, this is information that will evolve over time and should be continually updated. For more information, go to: http://honors-scholars.osu.edu/e-portfolio.

Artifacts
Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine ACES Film Project- 11/17
In our ACES seminar, we had to select a movie in groups that we thought we could connect to our pillars. My three group members and I came together to watch the movie and observe all of the parts of the movie that we felt added to society. I selected this artifact for the same reason we selected this movie; the movie shows the basis for the beginning of gay rights movement. One major thing I stand for is equality. I believe that we’re all created the same way, and we should all be treated the same way, no matter the differences. This project is significant to me because it shows how so many people of multiple backgrounds can come together to reach a goal. It shows that even after a tragedy, good will prevail. This is a good message for everyone, showing that when you’re at your worst, people will come to help pick you up. It’s a shame that Matthew lost his life, but his legacy will forever live on.
Group Teaching- Achievement Goals ESEPSY 2309 10/17

In my educational psychology class, we had a group teaching project. My group was assigned achievement goals, which explained the reasoning for why we will or will not do things. I found this project to be very important to me because it is something I will directly use once I graduate. I plan on becoming a teacher, so if I understand why students will act a certain way when they want to do something, then it’ll be easier for me to manage my classroom. When I first started the assignment, I was confused on the subject itself as I kept mixing up the different types of goals. Thankfully, my group mates were able to describe the types in a different way for me that allowed me to grasp the subject. This project proved the importance of group projects to me. Back in high school, it seemed that there was always one person that did all the work and that group projects had no real value. Instead, I found that this group project let me see the perspectives of others and how to improve or get a better understanding on something. This project helped me be more comfortable with group work and allowed me to be more open to asking questions or asking for help in such scenarios.
About Me
Hello all! My name is Logan Cenname and I’m a first year student at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. I have lived my entire life in Cleveland, Ohio and this is my first time living somewhere else and on my own. I come from a big family, have six brothers and a younger sister. My parents and grandparents have been my biggest supporters, given my the best advice, and have always had my back in what I decided to do with my life. Before OSU, I was a high school student in a small charter school in Parma, Ohio. During my sophomore, junior, and senior years, I was in the College Credit Plus program at Cuyahoga Community College and earned my Associates degree in Liberal Arts. I am currently a Middle Childhood Education major, looking to also minor in coaching. School, family, and friends have always played a huge part in my life, and I aspire to be able to make an impact in children’s lives as my life has been affected through the people I have met. In school, I have met my friends that have pushed me to become a better me and try new things I wouldn’t have normally done. My family encouraged me to challenge myself academically and fight for what I believed in. My teachers have been one of my biggest mentors and motivators. It wasn’t until recently that I truly realized and apprecitated what my teachers have done for my peers and I. All of the hard work they have put into giving us a better education and a better life has inspired me to do the same for future generations to come.
