Global Awareness: Next semester, I will be taking Spanish 2, and the following semester, Spanish 3. These classes will expose me to a language and culture unlike mine, enriching my global knowledge. Also, I would love to study abroad sometime in my undergraduate studies. I may participate in OSU’s STEP program in order to obtain funding to enhance my appreciation for other cultures around the world.
Original Inquiry: At some point over the next couple of years, I will most likely participate in research. This will not only be good for my medical school application, but it will also be enjoyable since it is something I have always wanted to do.
Academic Enrichment: Being a member of the Honors program at OSU means 4 years of rigorous coursework. I will be taking pre-med classes, including organic chemistry for two semesters, anatomy, and microbiology. Many of my projected classes will be 3000-level classes or above, and I am required to take at least 1 graduate-level course for my major for further enrichment and rigor.
Leadership Development: I will be joining more clubs as my years here continue, especially those geared towards service, academics, and maybe even a few fun ones. These will, in addition to my past work experiences, will familiarize me with the best way to lead and engage with people.
Service Engagement: As part of a strong medical school application, I will need to have a strong background in service, which I plan on accomplishing through nursing home and hospital volunteering over winter and summer breaks. Through these projects and any clubs in which I am involved, I will be able to serve effectively and make my environment a better place.
