Resume Reflection

My resume contains experiences that have allowed me to excel in other experiences. My work experience as a busser at Ken Stewart’s has taught me a lot about hard work and multi-tasking. I would have to balance doing many things at once such as polishing silverware and glassware, clear and set tables, and, at times, help customers. I am one of the most experienced busser on staff so I am relied upon by the other staff more than other bussers. It really forces me into a leadership role that I embrace. Another experience that I value greatly is my time with the Ohio State Football Team. I learned so much more about how a football team operates from the inside. I also greatly enjoyed learning from the coaches themselves by listening in to their conversations with players. My dream is to work with a football team in any capacity so this experience is of extreme importance to me. I hope I will soon have the opportunity again to work with the football team again. A third experience that has affected me greatly was my time playing football. Football is a game of life, it taught me necessary things for the work place such as hard work, working as a team, pushing myself to limit, and so much more. I contribute football into making me the man I am today.

Artifact: East Broad Street Food Pantry

For one of my classes during the fall semester of my Sophomore year, I had to volunteer at the East Broad Street Food Pantry. At first, I was nervous about this experience since I had to spend 30 hours there during that semester. In addition, I had to take a bus about 40 minutes off campus to get to the location. However, I got comfortable quickly. I built relationships with other volunteers and the staff at the pantry. I also strengthened relationships with fellow Mount Scholars. I gained valuable insight into running a food pantry. I also witnessed poverty. This is something I never truly saw given the neighborhoods I lived in. This was a valuable experience in that it taught me things that I couldn’t necessarily learn in a classroom.

Year in Review: 2nd Semester Freshman Year

After my first semester, I decided that I needed to my best in order to improve my GPA significantly. As of right now, I have a 4.0 GPA this semester. Early on in the semester, I had the great opportunity to work with the OSU football team. I had to work extra hard on the weekends to get all my homework done ahead of time in order to be able to make it to practices. I loved that volunteer opportunity, it was worth waking up at 4:00 a.m. in order to make it to practice some days. I did not make the cut for the spring-ball volunteer list. I was very upset about this but I could not dwell on the past. I just hoped that I could get the same opportunity next year. Around that time, I started to play more basketball with my mount friends since the weather became better. One day, I landed awkwardly on my leg. I didn’t think it was much at first. I already tore my ACL once so I hoped I didn’t do the same. While on break, I got my knee examined and I did indeed tear my ACL. I had surgery on the 22nd of March. I had to stay home for about a week in order to recoup. I am now in the process of making up work and catching up on notes. As the semester winds down, it will make it harder but I am ready for the challenge. I will have to balance homework and physical therapy.

Equipment Manager Position at The Ohio State University

Over the past winter (February 2019), I had the opportunity to work with the Ohio State football team as an equipment manager. I helped the other managers set up drills and tear them down. We also did laundry and organize the players’ and coaches’ gear. It may not seem to be the most appealing job to some but i enjoyed every minute that I got to spend volunteering with the team. It made me further realize the importance football has in my life and how much I miss playing it. It taught me the importance of teamwork and communication, both of which are very important in any workplace. Through the volunteering opportunity, I met great people and I was able to see what it is like behind the scenes of a football team. I am leaning towards a career in the sports industry either as a coach or a front office worker, so this was an invaluble experience. I hope to continue with next year and hopefully become a full time manager.

Artifacts: National Latin Exam

As a Latin student at Walsh Jesuit High School, we were required to participate in the National Latin exam in Latin I and Latin II. In both years, I was commended for my performance on the exam. On the Latin I exam, I received a cum laude certficate. On the Latin II exam, I received a maxima cum laude certificate and a silver place medal. I spent much time studying for the exams. Some of my fellow classmates did not on the other hand since it was not taken for a grade. I enjoyed Latin and I wanted to succeed. My classmates looked up to me in Latin; I did not want to let them down on this exam. I worked hard to study for the exam and it paid off in the end. I did not have to take the final exam for the class since I did so well on the National Latin Exam. It helped to show me that working hard is very important. My success with the exams established a great amount of confidence for me going forward in Latin and my other classes.

Year in Review

My first semester as a college student was one of much transition. It started off well. I was able to do well on my coursework and still be able to work out. My mind and body were both sharp. However, as the coursework started to ramp up in the middle of the semester, I started to struggle. Despite the struggles, I worked as hard as I could; most of the time it did not work out but this did not deter me from continuing my efforts. I finished out the semester strongly. My grades were not as good as I hope they would be. This was the first time in my life that I really struggled in school. I would try my hardest yet sometimes to no avail. This has given me a sense of empathy for those who struggle in school. Before this semester, I did not see how people could fail if they tried their best to succeed. I have much more perseverance than I did before college. College has also prepared me for a life of my own. It’s a great step into the life of an adult. I have also made a lot more friends through my classes and Mount. I have also strengthened some relationships from high school. I used to be much more into video games before school started but then I did not have enough time to play games so I lost some interest in video games. I gained some new interests like listening to music and watching TV shows. I am going to work even harder this semester and now that I have a semester under my belt I believe I am prepared to have a very successful semester.

G.O.A.L.S.

I would not say that any goal of mine coincides with the Global awareness initiative of Honors and Scholars. However, everyday I thrive to live by the golden rule which is to treat everyone the way I would want to be treated. As I have since grade school, one of my goals is to get A’s in all of my classes. Even though sometimes this does not happpen, this goal ensures that I am always putting 110% towards my academics. One of my long term future goals is to become the head coach of an NFL team. Ever since I found football, I have had a connection to it that I cannot explain. My dream would be to work in the NFL. This goal requires a lot of leadership which coincides with the leadership development initiative of Honors and Scholars. I also plan to do around 80 hours of service by the end of the school year. I plan to do most of these hours at the East Broad Street Food Pantry. I may also try to do some volunteering with the OSU football team if I am given the opportunity once again as I was last year.
