In high school I was a part of our marching band. This had me constantly practicing. Over the summer I would spend over 40 hours a week outside practicing. This time and effort did pay off. We won State my junior year and were ranking as the top band in the nation. We won every competition we went to, and had fun. I am very proud of these years of my life and the accomplishments I gained in this period, and will remember them forever.
During my second semester at Ohio State, I have been volunteering at a soup kitchen called Community Kitchen. Volunteering has always been an important aspect of my life and I am glad I have been able to continue this as I go through college. Volunteering helps me to take a step back and realize I am lucky to be in the position I am in. It always helps me to go back to reality and understand how blessed I am. I look forward to continue volunteering throughout my career at Ohio State and long into the distant future as long as I have time to give.
