Year in Review

[ “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.  For more guidance on using your ePortfolio, including questions and prompts that will help you get started, please visit the Honors & Scholars ePortfolio course in Carmen. To get answers to specific questions, please email eportfolio@osu.edu. Delete these instructions and add your own post.]

About Me

My name is Jessica Grimmer and I am a second year at The Ohio State University. I am majoring in Early Childhood Education with a minor in dance. My career goals include being an elementary school teacher and a dance teacher. While at Ohio State, I hope to work on research projects pertaining to education. I know that my experience at Ohio State will prepare me to accomplish these goals and more in the future.

I am an Advocates for Communities and Education scholar. This program is focused on service, advocacy, and social change. I am involved in the Ohio Student Education Association and Penpals, a club were I write to a Columbus City School student. I am also involved in Studio Dance which has given me a great dance community on campus.

I work as a summer camp counselor for the Cub House Child Care Center’s summer camp program. This job has given me valuable experiences and opportunities that apply to my career goals. As a counselor I plan activities, oversee the campers, and chaperone field trips.
