My name is Dares Hamid and I am from Gallipolis, a small town located in southern Ohio. I am majoring in Exercise Science. I chose this major because I love health and fitness. Some day I want to help people reach their fitness goals and help athletes reach their athletic potential. My greatest passions are lifting weights and playing golf. I started lifting weights when I was a freshman in high school and instantly fell in love with it. I loved that old gym we worked out in every day after school. I can still picture it in my head and have many great memories from that place. I have played golf since I was a little kid. Golf was all I did every summer growing up and I made many friends on the golf course. I played golf all four years in high school and miss playing a lot. My family has been my biggest support group. I love my mom and dad very much and they have done so much for me growing up. I also have two brothers. One in high school and one in middle school. I have made many friends here at Ohio State that share the same interests as me. Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars has allowed me to meet many new people and make life long friendships.
