Global Awareness

Our world is full of people. Each and every individual is unique with their own story to tell. As part of Honors & Scholars it is important to know the stories we each carry and understand what makes them different. Being from a high school where the students attending reflected the outside world is very humbling. Every person came from a different background each bringing their values, knowledge and stories with them. This contributed to the general understanding that their will be people with differing view points as well as why someone acts differently based on their culture.

Original Inquiry

There is so many ideas and information to learn that sometimes, one must do their own research. By participating in research and other independent projects I can learn can understand the research process and the inner workings of our world.

Academic Enrichment

The pursuit for knowledge is never ending. And in rigorous courses attaining academic excellence beyond the norm in and out of the classroom is a necessity. With a major in neuroscience this pursuit is never ending. The brain is a complex organ with many intricate parts and functions. By reading articles and participating heavily in class one can succeed at knowing how it works.

Leadership Development

Being a leader is something that changes you forever. It pushes you outside of your comfort zone and makes you selfless. When I was field commander of my marching band I felt both of these. It made me more confident, strong, approachable and gave me a drive to succeed. Using the skills that I have acquired I am better suited for many challenges that I will face in my life.

Service Engagement

As social beings we must be apart of our community. This shows that we have compassion and empathy to people, animals, our planet. Personally I plan to better the lives of the people in Columbus but also across the world. We share this world and together we must lend a helping hand to everyone that we can.
