Partaking in clubs and activities is one of my favorite ways to pass the time and meet friends. I believe that when I join a club I need to leave the club better than when i joined. I often do this by becoming a leader in the club, creating new ideas for the club, and helping out other members. I am continuous trying to be involved with more and more things that give me a wider scope of the world and what it has to offer.

G.O.A.L.S. (Global Awareness)
The past year I took a class called New Dimensions, and throughout the class I learned how to analyze controversial problems going on throughout the world. Not only did I learn more about other countries, but I learned more about my country. New Dimensions has made me more interested in discovering the world and global issues so that maybe one day we can solve some of them. The class also made me so much more interest in learning, and I am more than ready to learn about myself, other, the world, and of course, the content of my classes.
In the future I hope to continue to learn about the world and expand my world view. I am always trying to keep an open mind and see new perspectives and cultures in an equal and fair way. I hope to take trips to other countries for periods of time so I am able to expand my awareness.
Artifact: Film Project
For my ACES scholars class we did a project called the film project. We split into groups and choose a documentary to watch and report on it. Our group choose The Hunting Ground, which is a film on the rape culture on campuses. Our project impacted me deeply, because I never realized how great the problem is. Colleges and Universities are covering up rape reports so they don’t look “bad”, and more students will enroll at the school. The film project helped me grow and recognized corruption within our university, because Ohio State is one of the schools being investigated for covering up cases of sexual violence.
