My G.O.A.L.S at The Ohio State University are aimed to make me a better person and to prepare me for a successful future.
Global Awareness: Students cultivate and develop their appreciation for diversity and each individual’s unique differences.
To accomplish this there are a multitude of options. I have yet to decide which of these options is best for me. I could just take General Education classes that focus on other cultures. But, that will not give me a personal connection to other cultures. Going on a study abroad program or collaborating on projects and research with a diverse group of people would be more beneficial to me.
Original Inquiry: Honors & Scholars students understand the research process by engaging in experiences ranging from in-class scholarly endeavors to creative inquiry projects to independent experiences with top researchers across campus and in the global community.
One of my main reasons for coming to Ohio State for college was so that I could take part in research. Taking part in research will be a focal part of my curriculum. I hope to be able to spend a lot of time in a laboratory doing research and I hope to eventually conduct my own research and investigate specific topics that really interest me.
Academic Enrichment: Honors & Scholars students pursue academic excellence through rigorous curricular experiences beyond the university norm both in and out of the classroom.
My course work at Ohio State will not be easy. I plan for it to be challenging and plan to take many upper level classes in my major. This is another challenge I gladly embrace. In addition to this research will also challenge me to grow academically.
Leadership Development: Honors & Scholars students develop leadership skills that can be demonstrated in the classroom, in the community, in their co-curricular activities, and in their future roles in society.
Learning how to lead can only gained by the experience of leading, an experience I plan to have. Research will allow me the opportunity to lead and work with others to accomplish a common goal. In addition to research being a president of a student organization will also yield this experience. I am the founder and president of “The Happiest Club on Campus: A Disney-themed Club”. With the club my hope is to gain this leadership experience and to provide a fun a stress-free environment for students.
Service Engagement: Honors & Scholars students commit to service to the community.
Spending time and giving back to your community is vital to a successful future. Pay it Forward. I definitely plan to find time at which I can give back to the communities around me, it is not something I take for granted.
