About Me

 

Hello! My name is Claire Feng, and I’m a Freshman this year at The Ohio State University. I’m in the Honors Biological Sciences program, with a Pre-Dental track! Eventually, I hope to become an Orthodontist. I’m from St. Louis, Missouri, but I was actually born at OSU’s hospital! #BornAndRaised

In high school, I participated in Cross Country, NHS, Key Club, Beta Chi Pi, Mu Alpha Theta, French Club, and a couple others throughout the years. My main passions were NHS and Key Club, and during my senior year, I was an officer for both clubs. I was also very heavily involved in my youth group. I was a part of SLT, or Student Leadership Team, all four years of high school. I led worship and the administration team, and being on SLT taught me a lot on how to be a good leader and putting others first.

In my free time, my hobbies included guitar, violin, photography, eating, hanging with my friends, hanging with my cats, and shopping (especially at thrift stores). I enjoy hanging and catching up with my friends, but I also do enjoy my alone time to recharge.

For me, I am someone who is people-oriented. I tend to have a big heart for people, and I’ve always been passionate about serving others and helping the community out, either in big or small ways. So in a weird sense, I felt like dentistry allowed me to help others in the community. I can be dedicated and excited to learn, but I also tend to struggle with self-doubt in my abilities, which hinders my growth at times. However, with encouragement and motivation from people around me, I will always try my best to succeed. I am a very visual and hands-on learner. I like notes and physical words in front of me that I can mark up. In addition, I also need to try things out on my own to make sure I understand how concepts, experiments, or normal day things work out. I need guidance and practice.

I’m very excited to see what OSU has to offer for me, and I’m excited to see how far I’ll go in these next four (or more) years here. It’s sad to leave behind my family, friends, and church behind, but I know that there is great things ahead, and I cannot wait to learn, be challenged, and become a Buckeye with everyone!
