With my second year at OSU in the books, I can now look back and see how things have changed since coming here. My intent when first coming to OSU was to go down the premed track and try to go to med school and in the meantime try to figure out what kind of doctor I want to be. Since then I have come to the loose conclusion that I no longer want to go to medical school and instead want to try to pursue a career in research. This choice comes from growing doubts and fears around the idea of medical school, as well as how much I enjoy my current position as a research intern at the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. I hope that in the remainder of my undergraduate experience at OSU I can cement and refine this decision and put myself in the best possible position to achieve this goal.
