(G)lobal Awareness: I would love to study abroad sometime in my future at OSU. I have always had interest in studying in Italy so I would love to act upon this goal. Here at OSU, there is a class associated with studying abroad for my major (Pharmaceutical Sciences). I would learn about the country I am going to and would be able to experience it through essentially a pharmacy lens.

(O)riginal Inquiry: It is highly looked upon in my current study and for my future studies that I engage in a research opportunity. One of the ways that I want to accomplish this through research clubs at OSU, such as “Buckeyes Against Alzheimers”. I can also achieve this goal through the College of Pharmacy’s office of undergraduate research!

(A)cademic Enrichment: I want to continue to challenge myself through my coursework at OSU. To do this I want to pick up a minor. I have been very interested in real estate recently and think this would be a great option for me! It is very different from the coursework that I normally engage in and will be able to provide me with very useful information.

(L)eadership Development: I am currently on the club tennis team at OSU but would love to be more than just a member of the team. Next year and the years to follow I want to become a leader on the club team. There are a few leadership positions that would allow me to further improve my leadership skills. Some of the positions that I would be interested in would be the social chair or a health and safety leader once I become CPR certified.

(S)ervice Engagement: While potentially studying abroad, I would love to engage in community service. This would be a very unique service opportunity and would also be something that I have never experienced before. Some service opportunities I could engage in while studying abroad would be taking blood pressure readings and taking vision screenings. By doing this I will be able to further develop empathy skills and practice/improve my ability to work with patients.
