G.O.A.L.S.
On Thursday, October 26, my HES group and I went on a little adventure to explore more of Columbus together. We decided on going to Fourth Street Bar and Grill to have some good food and a great time! One revelation I had, other than the satisfaction of one of the best veggie burgers I’ve ever tasted, was that college is much more than homework and grades. It is also the experiences I have and will gain here at OSU and the great people I will meet. We all talked about how college has been so far and immediately we jumped into how each class is treating us right now and how worried we are in terms of our major for the next years of college. It wasn’t until our mentor, Paulina, asked us about what’s going on outside of class that we all finally talked about the good here on campus. There are so many opportunities out there and I am so excited to expand myself outside of the classroom again. With community service and extracurricular activities through Design For 90, MSA, and HES, I will do great this here at OSU in not only the classroom, but in the community as well. This was a great experience and it’s always a fun time when we all get together to do homework or hangout. What I like most about experiences like these are the laughs we share together and the bonds we create as a group. I would definitely go back- I heard they have a karaoke night afterall.

Artifacts
Diversity and Inclusion: I like to be involved in groups that promote and celebrate diversity. I went to an Islamic private school up until the fifth grade. Transferring into a private school where everyone wasn’t like me was difficult at times, but it proved to me that my uniqueness is something to be proud of and stand for. I was president of Face2Face, my high school’s diversity club, and I participated in the school’s multicultural fair. I tried to get involved in anything to express my culture, but also to provide a safe, accepting environment for others to do the same. I still remain close to my Islamic and Pakistani community, which helps shape me, but love to get outside of my comfort zone and learn about other cultures. One of my most memorable experiences was Black History Month Assembly. It helped with my public speaking as I got to talk in front of my whole school about something I’m passionate about.
About Me
My name is Hana and I’m currently in the Biological Engineering pre-major, but am interested in the Biological Engineering. I am commuting this year and live in Galena, OH. I like hanging out with friends and reading when I have spare time. My favorite book currently is ‘A Man Called Ove’ but I’m always open to book suggestions! I listen to music almost 24/7 and love finding new songs to listen to. My goal for my future career is to be able to help people one-on-one. Ever since I was young I have loved community service and volunteering to help those who need it the most. I am fortunate enough to have a mother who is very involved in helping others and works for a nonprofit organization called Muslim Family Services that helps with families who are in need. Volunteering and working firsthand with the community was important for me in finding my passion for the future.
In a recent strength-finder quiz, I received the following five words as how to describe me:
– connectedness
– restorative
– intellection
– input
– positivity
I feel sentiment towards these words as they bring light to what I find important and what I try to associate myself with. Anyone who knows me probably won’t believe me when I say this, but I used to be very quiet and awkward around people. Feeling connected to others helps me feel not only like I have people to lean on, but I can be that someone for people to rely on or just someone to talk to. Being the reason for someone’s smile or laugh can turn my entire day around. I also see restoration and intellection as things I hope to achieve for my future.
