About Me

Greetings, I am Ariana Cruz, a student at Ohio State University and welcome to my ePortfolio.  I am a first-year student studying Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies with aspirations of becoming a criminal defense attorney. My academic interests include law, math and science, specifically, biology and forensics. While in college, I have certain goals for myself while also obtaining my degree. One of my goals for college is to keep a high grade-point average, which is vital for getting into a good law school. Another goal is to give back to the community. I always felt it is essential to realize your blessings and to help those who may not be as fortunate as you. I am devoting myself to service back through non-profit organizations, food pantries or university clubs/organizations. My next goal is to obtain numerous leadership opportunities to practice skills that will further develop my character and will also benefit while applying to graduate school, jobs, interns, etc.. My last goal is to earn an excellent score on my LSAT and get into law school before I graduate. As I reflect on myself, I realize unique aspects that separate myself from others. I believe the aspects that I have learned before coming to college has already taught me skills such as leadership skills, professional mannerism and dedicated/ persistent that other college freshman maybe just now learning.
