This past year I have grown a lot because of the new environment, the difficult coursework, and Mount Leadership Society scholars program. Living alone and away from home has led me to realizing many new aspects of myself that I didn’t see before. Additionally, I have learned how to be more independent, and have grown in my time management skills. The coursework I have faced as a first year student in the Fisher college of Business, has also defined who I am now. I see growth in myself and my work ethic as I begin to understand how to properly study for exams, and make the most out of my classes. Finally, I have strengthened my leadership skills through the Mount Leadership Society. Having the opportunity to be one of the leads in my Legacy Week team and a co-chair for the Recruitment, Outreach, and Welcoming Committee next year has really helped my leadership qualities grow. I better understand myself as a leader as well as things I need to work on to become a better leader. I am definitely not the same person I was when I moved into Bowen House almost eight months ago, and I am thankful to OSU for that.
