Hello! My name is Skyler Isch. I am a first year student at the Ohio State University and am double majoring in English and Business (undecided) as well as pursuing an academic minor in Music. At the conclusion of my undergraduate career, I plan on attending Law School where I will obtain my J.D. and become an attorney.
I come from a suburb just outside of Cincinnati Ohio called Anderson Township. I graduated at the local high school, Anderson High School, in the top 6% of my graduating class with a 4.60 GPA. I was a two sport athlete in high school, playing soccer and being a member of the swim team. Outside of high school, I enjoyed playing guitar, hanging out with friends and my two younger sisters, and playing with my dog Rex. Through all of my time in Anderson Township, one of the most meaningful experiences I had was being cut from my high school soccer team as a junior. Many people see being cut from a team in a negative light, but it was a great experience for me, because it really taught me the value of hard work and dedication. Being cut also made making and starting on the varsity squad next season during my senior year even more special. Another experience that I really cherish is my overall involvement with an organization called Young Life. Young Life is an evangelical Christian organization, and during my time in Young Life I found and developed a relationship with Jesus as well as numerous friends, including a man that would become my mentor.
As I have prepared for college and life at the Ohio State University, I have received a lot of advice, and even more warnings about the difficulty that lies ahead of me. As I reflect upon that warning and begin to look toward my undergraduate experience, I have to realize my goals for the future. For me, the end goal, like it is for many other people, is success. Success in the classroom, professionally, in social life, and in whatever else I choose to apply myself. In addition to that, my goal is enjoy the experiences and to take advantage of all that is offered to me at Ohio State. Studies have shown that children smile an average of 400 times in a given day, whereas in the same given day, an adult will smile less than thirty times. Arguably one of my biggest goals, not only for my undergraduate experience, but for the rest of my life, is to try to smile 400 times a day. Also, on a slightly related note, if anyone knows any good jokes, please feel free to share. Thanks for reading!
