Another goal that I have set up for myself to achieve during my time at Ohio State is to further develop my leadership skills. In high school, I took part in many leadership opportunities. Whether it’s being the president of my high school’s orchestra or upholding an officer position of student organizations, I wanted to make an impact on others and to help influence positive change within society.

One planned activity that I have set up in the long term future is global awareness. Because I grew up in a predominately white area of Ohio, I felt that I’ve lost touch with my culture and I feel that I still have many things to explore. Since coming to Ohio State, I have encountered many people from many upbringings and backgrounds that I have yet to hear about. During my time here at Ohio State, I want to continue to become more aware of the different types of cultures around me since I feel that I can learn more about the world and more about myself as a result.
