Art In Root

by at

In my Senior Year at Seton High School, I entered an art competition called Art In Root. This art competition combined art with nature, as students from different high schools through the city incorporated different nature aspects into their art. For me, I have always found beauty in sunsets, which is the part of nature I incorporated into my artwork. Nature has always been a love of mine, which led me to my career path of Biology. I placed third for my Photoshop artwork, which then got showed in the Sharron Woods Park art exhibit. This piece is called “Seeking the Horizon”.

About Me

by at

Hi! My name is Margaret Lange and I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. In Cincinnati, I attended Seton High School where I was involved in several clubs and in National Honors Society and National Art Honors Society. In 2018, I am starting my college career at The Ohio State University. Because of my love for animals, I am majoring in Biology and hope to be able to work with animals in the future. I am a responsible, well-organized student and always work my hardest to achieve my goals. I’m looking forward to what this school year brings and I love being a Buckeye!

First Semester in Review

by at

Woo! An end to the first semester of college. College has definitely been different than high school, which has been a big transition to make. College students have more responsibility with tasks such as turning in assignments on time, studying more, and even being able to live with up to three roommates in one dorm. My classes this semester consisted of Spanish, Chemistry, Archaeology, and two survey classes (one for scholars and one for Arts & Science). Chemistry has been a little bit of a struggle, as I haven’t had Chemistry class since sophomore year of High School. It has taught me new study habits, brought me closer to some of my classmates, and has changed the way I think about the subject. With the new study habits found from taking Chemistry, I can apply them to my other classes and improve my studying for other exams and quizzes. Overall, this semester has been a good transition into college and I can’t wait to see how next semester goes!

Why did I choose to be a Biological Sciences Scholar?

by at

Biological Sciences has always been a major interest in my life. From wanting to take care of all kinds of animals, to delving deeper into what makes up an organism, to simple wilderness hikes, I have always had a passion for biology. When I was accepted into the Scholars program at The Ohio State University, I had many options that I could choose from. As soon as I saw that Biological Sciences was one of the scholars programs, I immediately ranked it as my top choice as it had always been a major part of my life. Not only do I feel passionately about biology and all it entails, but I feel that a biology career suits the type of person I am. I am genuinely interested in the subject, I have enough drive and focus to complete what I want to with my degree, and I manage my time and organize tasks well. I feel that to be in Biology, one needs enough passion and focus to accomplish your own goals, which are the character traits that I have.
