I am very excited to start 2018. Below is listed how I will apply the “G.O.A.L.S.” to my life.
Global Awareness: This will be cultivated with my internship abroad this summer in Madrid, Spain. I choose this program for its length because 8-weeks is long enough for me to really embrace the culture. I definitely need to brush up on my Spanish but I am very excited to put it into practice. I am also excited to see all the architecture and artwork.
Original Inquiry: I have decided that I do not want to pursue research because it is not conducive to my career goals. I want to focus on reading nonfiction this year and learn information from that.
Academic Enrichment: I will have yet to take an GE until my fifth year but my business minor is definitely coherent with my goals of moving up the management track. I am really enjoying mechanical engineering and I am excited to start taking some of my major classes.
Leadership Development: I am currently the Assistant Vice President of Finance for the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority. I am excited to learn where exactly all of our dues are going. I am also on the corporate relations and sponsorship committee for the integrated business and engineering program. I would like to become an officer for the Society of Women Engineers.
Service Engagement: I just went on a Buck-i-SERV trip to Birmingham, Alabama this past December and volunteered with Habitat for Humanity. I also went on the Appalachian Service Project this past summer. I hope to go on another Buck-i-SERV trip and maybe be a group leader. I also hope to reach my fundraising goals for Buckeyethon.
Cheers to the start of a new year!
