Year in Review
This year was very stressful especially second semester, I barely had time to do anything that I really loved like going to workout, play sports, or just relax. I felt like everyday i had 100 tasks to finish and it was not a good way to live and spend my first year. I did not receive the grades that will help me excel in my career and i understand that I have to do more and prioritize my time and really focus on what i want my future to be. I will take all these lessons i learned from the first year and implement them into my years to come i especially want to focus on trying to build relationships with my teachers by going to office hours and getting more involved in HSS because i have realized you get out as much as you put in. However this year was not a total bust, i was able to join a fraternity and i made friendships that will last me a life time and deepened the friendships i already had. I can look forward to next school semester and really just focus on school and what are important to my future. I have the mentality that there is only one place i can keep heading and that is up.

Career
My career goal is to become a dentist and hopefully specialize in orthodontics. I see myself as a visual learner, I need to see many examples to understand a concept fully. My goal here at OSU is to make great friends and prepare me to get into the dental school of my choice.
Eat.
I didn’t have that much time this semester to go out and explore all the restaurants Columbus has to offer but luckily I did get the chance to go to a Mexican restaurant called Bakersfield in Short North. My girlfriend came to visit me from the University of Toledo so i thought it would be nice if we went out and ate at a restaurant that neither of us had been to. I got the recommendation to go to Bakersfield from one of my friends who lived in Upper Arlington and it was nice to hear it was a Mexican restaurant because of the mutual love for Mexican food my girlfriend and I have. We got there and the ambiance was very nice and we felt like we belonged because the restaurant was filled with young adults. We both ordered tacos and they were delicious! I would recommend Bakersfield to any friend looking for great Mexican food! 
About Me
I went to a Catholic school in Toledo, Ohio called St. John’s Jesuit where i was apart of several organizations. Some of my favorite activities I did in high school was being on the varsity soccer team, student council, and president of the Spanish National Honors Society. I was able to finish high school with a 3.67 GPA and I received a 28 on my ACT. At Ohio State I plan on receiving a B.S. in Biology on a pre-dental track.
