Over the summer before my freshman year at OSU, I received an email about early move-in programs for college. I was skeptical at first, thinking that maybe it would cost too much. I decided to look into the programs anyway, and I came across a program called R-Lead. This program focused on leadership building for only incoming freshmen while also providing an opportunity to move in before actual move in day. I applied and got accepted, and it was not too expensive. Through this program, I learned how to better address my character strengths and how to apply them in my every day life. I got better situated on campus. R-Lead was also connected to the Ohio Welcome Leaders, so I got the opportunity to meet new people and help students move in. All in all, this leadership development program helped me come out of my shell when transitioning from high school to college, and I am happy I participated in it.
