[ “Year in Review” is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student. You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.

About Me
My name is Alexandra Goss, and I am a second-year studying Political Science and Psychology with a Minor in Spanish here in Columbus. I am from Cincinnati, Ohio, but I consider Ohio State to be home now.
I try to be very active on campus, and am an active member in Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternity, International Affairs Scholars, and in Mock Trial. On Mock Trial, a competitive organization where we learn a case and use it to compete against other schools across the country, I am the Vice President of Travel. My job is to coordinate all of our travel efforts throughout the year, including the variety of tournaments we attend across the country.
I also have an internship at the Ohio House of Representatives as a Majority page. In this position, I have the opportunity to understand how the legislative branch of the government works from a closer perspective. I hope to use the information I have gained from this internship to help others push for important issues in the legislature after I graduate from law school.
