As an Honors and Scholars student, I hope to fulfill the “G.O.A.L.S.” presented to me. Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement are all very important to me and I hope to live by them throughout my time at The Ohio State University.
- Global Awareness: Throughout my carrier at The Ohio State University, I hope to take many classes that will help promote my understanding of different cultures and to appreciate the diversity in the world. I hope to join the Natural and Prosperous Society which is a club that celebrates the beauty of natural hair and culture that surrounds it. It is very important to me that I am able to connect with people of all different backgrounds. I have been fortunate to travel abroad to France and learn about their history and culture and I wish to return to learn more at some point within my years at Ohio State.
- Original Inquiry: I have not yet joined any research projects, but I hope to begin doing research in the summer continue throughout my college years. Research is important to me because I want to understand the research process and gain new and important experience that will help me in the future. I hope to do research within chemistry or biology as I would like to go into the medical field.
- Academic Enrichment: Being in the Honors & Scholars program at The Ohio State University, I have the amazing opportunity to enroll in honor classes and I am going to take full advantage of these rigorous courses. I am currently enrolled in 1910H Honors Chemistry and 1100H Psychology. I hope to take many more honors classes and I hope to constantly challenge myself in the classroom.
- Leadership Development: Being a leader is very important to me and I hope to gain more leadership skills while at The Ohio State University. By being on the Varsity Swim Team, I am fortunate to have many opportunities to become a leader. As I become an upperclassman I hope to lead the younger swimmers and help them through their transition to college. Swimming also gives me access to many leadership champs such as Buck-I-Lead which I hope to participate in.
- Service Engagement: Giving back to the community has always been a big priority of mine and I hope to continue this while at The Ohio State University. I plan on volunteering through the St. Thomas More Newman Center which is the local catholic church. I will also be given many opportunities to help children at swim camps. My hometown of Bellefontaine, Ohio is still a big priority for me so when I return home I hope to continue to give back to my home community.
