I took this picture the first time I went back home from Ohio State during fall break, and I went back to visit my old high school. The majority of my life the last four years had taken place in this building, from taking classes, making friends, going to dances, or playing sports, and then I graduated and moved on. After I went back I began to realize how much impact this high school had on myself, from my lifelong friends I met there to helping me prepare for the rigors of college. Going back also illustrated how much I have already grown in my brief time at Ohio State, from new friends and food, harder classes, and more control over my schedule, which helped me to realize how different I already am from the seventeen year old kid who walked into that building everyday just six months ago.
