My first year at OSU has been one of the best years of my life.  I have grown not only as a student but as a person.  I have learned how to identify my strengths and weaknesses and how to work on my weaknesses to become an even better person.  The people that I have met so far have made my time here so worth it and so fun.  The new experiences and opportunities that I have had here have been so amazing.  Exploring Columbus in and out of the class room has been so fun and I feel like I have truly learned more about the world.  My preconceived notions and expectations about college and HSS have been exceeded greatly.  College has turned out to be a place of so much opportunity and learning.  HSS has been a great way to make connections with people who share similar interests and common career goals as me.  My goals for next year are to keep up with the grades I have been getting so far and to become more involved on campus.  I would love to become a volunteer at the Wexner Medical center because I love volunteering and having patient interaction.  My last goal is to find something new on campus or in downtown Columbus every week.  I’m so excited for all of the new opportunities I can experience next semester.

[ “Year in Review”  is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student.  You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.  For more information, go to: http://honors-scholars.osu.edu/e-portfolio.
