Service engagement is one of the G.O.A.L.S of the Scholar’s program and one that I wanted to become involved with soon after getting to campus. One of the clubs that I have joined at Ohio State is the Girls in Science Club. We are a group of young women who are majoring in STEM fields and we visit a local elementary school, Weinland Park Elementary School, a few times a month to provide a science club to a group of fifth grade girls. The meetings consist of presenting about a notable woman in science and her accomplishments as well as doing an experiment with the girls. On of the recent experiments we did was making ice cream in a bag to teach the girls about freezing point and freezing point depression. This club not only provides an opportunity for me to volunteer but also an opportunity to teach kids about the field of study that I’m passionate about. I remember when I was their age doing similar experiments in my own science club. It was those experiments and the experience that I had in the club that are what contributed to my interest in science that I fostered throughout my time in middle and high school. If I had never had some of the experiences, I do not think that I would be as interested and excited about science as I am today. It brings a great deal of gratification knowing that I can help provide these same experiences to these girls and hopefully inspire them to pursue their passions one day.
