Year in Review
[ “Year in Review” is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student. You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.

G.O.A.L.S.
Every individual has goals, small goals, long term goals, personal goals, a variety of goals. Honors & Scholars students have goals just like that but goals also stands for much more to them. Honors & Scholars students have G.O.A.L.S. This stands for Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement. Each of these aspects of the Honors & Scholars G.O.A.L.S. means a lot to me.
Global Awareness: Through my course work and the diverse classes I am taking I am learning about many worldly topics. I hope to continue to learn about fascinating topics through my classes at OSU. Sometime throughout my four years here I hope to study abroad, hopefully over in Europe. There I can travel to several countries and learn all about their cultures. I am on team Global for Mount Scholars Legacy Week. With this team I will be creating a service project that aims to help a global need.
Original Inquiry: I plan to do a lot of undergraduate research in order to prepare for medical school and build my resume.
Academic Enrichment: Right now I am taking mostly GEC’s in order to complete requirements. Soon I will begin to take my major specific classes. As a Biology major on a pre-med track I will be partaking in many rigorous curricular experiences with an end goal of medical school.
Leadership Development: I am a member 0f the Mount Leadership Society Scholars. Through this program we aim to build leadership skills and apply them to every aspect of our lives. I have learned a lot about my personality thus far and hope to continue to learn and develop my leadership skills through service work and school activities.
Service Engagement: Each month I participate in service work through my scholars program. I am also working on one large service project with a group of students that will be enacted in Spring semester.

Artifacts
I have always been very passionate about medicine. My family is very medically oriented. My mom and both my sisters are nurses and my dad is a doctor. My dad and his love for his career has always inspired me and for as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a doctor. I used to play with this artifact all the time as a little kid. I would go around and check everyone’s heartbeat and try to fix them. It is my dad’s stethoscope. He wears it around his neck everyday and it is truly a symbol of what the medical profession means to me. It is something so simple yet completely necessary as a part of a doctor’s everyday life. Although I am not yet in medical school and I don’t have my own stethoscope, my dad’s stethoscope has always been a form of motivation for me to achieve my goals. I look forward to the day I get to use my own stethoscope for the first time.
About Me
My name is Caroline Klopp and I am a first year Biology major and Mount Scholar at The Ohio State University. I have always enjoyed leadership and service work which is why the Mount Scholar’s program is perfect for me and I cannot wait to fully take advantage of all the opportunities this program will provide me. I have always had a very deep faith. I enjoy practicing my faith. My faith is what most motivates me to participate in service work and mission trips. I also enjoy listening and performing music. I enjoy using my talents to cheer up and entertain everyone. Along with music I am really passionate about the medical field. I grew up in family of mostly medical professionals. I want to stick with the Klopp family trend and pursue medicine. I am hoping to attend medical school and become a doctor. I hope to continue helping the world throughout my career. I believe life is a series of serendipitous moments and I like to spread positivity and happiness through everything that I do and I hope to do that all throughout my career at Ohio State and all throughout my future.
