Last August, I came to the Ohio State University unsure of what to expect and how it would effect me. I am nearing the end of my first year in college now, but never took the chance to stop and think about how I’ve changed. Looking back throughout the year I suddenly realized how much I have grown, and how happy I am to be the person I am today.
Attending OSU has given me the chance to evolve myself into someone I have always strived to be. Coming from a small town, where there was little diversity in terms of race and hardly any resources for young adults, made it hard for me to become the person I wanted to be, academically and personally. OSU has given me the opportunity to be engulfed in the diversity that Columbus has to offer. I have been able to shed my ignorance in many of the issues that the world faces today, and gain knowledge through amazing experiences. From attending numerous seminars covering world dilemmas to academic events about the environment, I have acquired insight on many topics that I know will benefit me in the future.
