During my participation in IA, I have learned so much about myself and the community around me. Because of IA, I took the initiative to learn more about Columbus by volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club. If it wasn’t IA, I wouldn’t have learned the other side of Columbus where poverty and refugees are still very prevalent. IA also provided me with the opportunity to develop my leadership skills by becoming a Honors and Scholars Ambassador. Through this position, I was really honored to volunteer my time in order to make future buckeyes to feel at home at Ohio State. I am also really thankful for IA for giving me the resources such as amazing advisers and services to make my study abroad in South Korea possible over the summer of 2017.
