Global Awareness: Students cultivate and develop their appreciation for diversity and each individual’s unique differences. For example, consider course work, study abroad, involvement in cultural organizations or activities, etc .

About Me
My name is Claire Cressman and I am a freshman at The Ohio State University. I am from Medina, Ohio where I attended Highland High School. Currently I am majoring in Middle Childhood Education with specializations in history and science.
In high school I enjoyed challenging myself with AP and honors classes becoming a part of my school’s top ten percent, an AP scholar with honors, and was named the 2015 Outstanding Senior Female of my class. Being at Ohio State I hope to embrace as many opportunities as I can and get involved in groups that will allow me to reach my full potential while enjoying every minute. As far as how I learn, I am a student of practice and repetition. I take in information best by drilling myself to memorization and by having the chance to relate my knowledge to what I am currently learning. I enjoy helping people out whether explaining a concept or listening to their ideas. In hopes of becoming a teacher I want to absorb everything and everyone around me.
I chose International Affairs Scholars to open up my eyes to the world around me. So far, I have learned so much about the world outside of America, and have enjoyed the many opinions and views that come from class discussions. I want to apply what I learn from my scholars program into my classroom to provide a new outlook for my students.
Outside of school I enjoy dancing, playing tennis, singing, being with family and friends, traveling, and taking pictures. I love to be happy, laugh, make memories and enjoy being in a positive atmosphere. I recently joined the Boo Radley Society, as well as am a floor senator for the Board of Activities for Smith Steeb, and look forward to joining more clubs in the future. I love being a part of the Buckeye Family and am looking forward to an incredible year!
