Hi! My name is Eliza Green and I am a freshman at The Ohio State University. I am from Hudson, Ohio, which is near Akron. I graduated Hudson High School with Honors before coming to the university. I major in History and am a member of the Honors College. I have an older brother and sister, who both attend Ohio State and a dog named Chewbacca. I love to read, watch movies, and spend time with my friends. I am a member of the field hockey club and I hope to study abroad and be a member of WAIP

The year of 2018-2019 has been a great sophomore school year with great classes, a good community, and a lot of handwork. Through this year, I have excelled in the classroom, as I have raised my GPA from last year, and I also took leadership positions within my clubs and activities. I believe that my level of maturity has grown and evolved since the beginning of the year, and I am better at communicating with my peers and more organized in getting things done. My plans for the future have generally stayed the same, as I plan to follow my course of study in international relations, and study abroad next Spring, but I have more plans and are more organized in how I will reach these goals.
I plan to extend my Global Awareness by studying abroad next spring in Barcelona. It was always something I wanted to do, but I was not sure if I would be able to accomplish it. After going to all of my advisors and planning the rest of my semesters, I decided that it would be possible and I already have picked my ISA program to go abroad. By doing so I will increase my Global Awareness because I will learn more about other cultures, immerse myself in new things, and learn to empathize with other people.
As I continue on my path, and course continue to get more intricate, I have had practice this year in research and reporting. I volunteered at the The Legal Aid Society of Columbus and helped report on specific cases that would help veterans receive better discharge statuses. Additionally, I am scheduling my reading and research upper-level classes that will make me invest more time and effort into learning the research process.
My Academic Achievements already listed are through hardworking and dedication to my courses because of my plans to attend Graduate School after graduation. My Leadership Development comes from my position of President of Delta Gamma Fraternity. It takes up a lot of time and dedication to my whole chapter, but it is very rewarding to helping out in sisterhoods, our philanthropy, and communicating with our Executive Offices.
One focus I really want to improve on is my service engagement. Because of work load and my other specific attentions to my sorority and other projects, I do not volunteer as much as I wish I could. Next year, I am really planning on finding an organization that could help me do more within our community.
My appreciation for diversity stems from my own culture. My mother was born in the Philippines and raised there until she moved to the United States. I have always been fascinated and appreciative of my own culture and other cultures around the world. I love to travel and understand cultures other than my own. I have been to Mexico, Dominican Republic, England, Puerto Rico, etc. And this summer I will be traveling to the Philippines. As a history major, I love to explore different cultures and their history in their own perspective. I like to learn about other parts of the world from the Mongol Empire to the Archaic Greeks. I am looking to have a historical specialization on East Asian Studies. I can’t wait to study abroad. I plan to do so my junior year. I want to study abroad in Barcelona and from there experience all of Europe. I hope to develop a larger global perspective through my whole college experience.
I plan to minor in International Studies, or even double major. I also hope to minor in Spanish. I chose to be a history major because I love learning about the world and how history shows everything about our world from what we look like to what we eat. This ties in with International Studies; I hope to learn as much about the world and other cultures as I can. My future aspirations include studying abroad and most importantly getting into the Washington Academic Internship Program. I would love to work in Washington and I am looking at minoring in Political Science, too. My end goal would be becoming a foreign service worker. My curriculum will prepare me for this because I will understand other cultures.
I am involved in field hockey club and am looking to join other clubs like USG. I am also going to join a sorority and take on leadership positions within. In high school, I was President of the National Honorary Society and a student government representative. I was also the captain of my field hockey team. These positions have prepared my for leadership roles and I would describe my leadership style as independent and steady.
I hope to be a part of many service opportunities over my college years. I am very fond of community service and have had a lot of experience. As of now, I have been unable to be apart of service projects, but I plan on being involved in later years.

I was a member of the field hockey club. Twice a week during the fall season, we met on the fields behind the RPAC. It was a great freshman experience to be able to meet new people who shared a common interest. The nights were perfect with the lights shining onto the fields as numerous sports were being played at once. It was a great way to keep me healthy and to give me a break from my studies and it improved my mental-wellness. I loved being able to play a sport that I love.
