This year has been one of the most fun years of my life. I have experienced so many new things, both good and bad, that have shaped me into a more mature and well-rounded person. I have immensely enjoyed my time in International Affairs Scholars. My favorite experience this year with IA has been our trip to Toronto. I had the opportunity to spend time in another country and see the variety of experiences that the city had to offer, like travelling to Kensington Market (see post in Artifacts). I had the opportunity to connect with other International Affairs Scholars who I had not met before, and find my own way around a fascinating city.
In addition to IA, my other favorite aspect of this year has been my participation in Mock Trial. Through this program, I have solidified my interest in law and found a community with whom I share a common interest. I have found some of my closest friends and learned about myself along the way.
Overall, this year has been fantastic. I have shaped who I am as a person and become more well-rounded as an individual. Attending Ohio State as a member of the International Affairs Scholars program has been one of the best life decisions I have made.
