G.O.A.L.S NUMBER 1

Each word to me has their own meaning.  Global awareness to me means begin aware of individuals own traditions, experiences, activities and even languages.  Knowing that each culture has their own uniqueness and knowing what they are is to me what global awareness means.  It also means being respectful to the diversity Ohio State has.  Original Inquiry to me means being unique to your own work and doing your own research.  Academic enrichment to me means always going above and beyond on your work such as paid work and class work and community.  Leadership development to me means being a leader in your own way.  You may not be the leader of the whole group but the leader in yourself and knowing what is right and what is wrong and not just being a leader in class but also outside of class.  Being you you are when people are watching and even when people are not watching.  Service engagement to me means that you are always willing to help out your community.  Your communities is your home and during school time OSU is your home.  Having service engagement is also being willing to help when help is needed.  These are my interpretations of what the terms G.O.A.L.S mean to me.  I plan to a little of each  G.O.A.L.S that being learning new things from other individuals I did not know, being unique in what I do, always asking questions with what I need help with and trying my best with everything I do.  I also plan on always being a leader so doing what’s right and lastly always willing to help in what is needed.

As of now there are definitely places in where I can improve or collaborate more with the terms G.O.A.L.S.  I do think I can get involved more with other clubs and organizations and getting to know more individuals as well.  I do think I can do more community service and be more willing to help.  I know being a commuter is not an excuse but sometimes it is hard to stay for events.  This up coming semester I will for sure try to stay more and do more service and see what I can help with.  This also goes for joining clubs and organizations.

 

G.O.A.L.S NUMBER 3

This upcoming semester, I would like to focus my goal on “Leadership Development.”  When I last mentioned a goal it involved getting involved in clubs and then Covid hit.  This made it hard to get involved because everything was online and I worked so the clubs that I was interested in joining had meeting when I was unavailable.  The made it harder for me to join, sadly. This upcoming semester, since life will return to somewhat normal, I do plan on staying on campus if the clubs I want to join are in person or if not more my schedule around to get involved in more organizations. I have a few in mind and hopefully things go as planned!

 

G.O.A.L.S NUMBER 4

A personal goal that I have in mind is to start volunteering at my old elementary school and start to get a sense of what goes on in a classroom.  Overall I would like to observe and see what goes on before school starts and afterwards.  I would like to volunteer if my schedule and the elementary school allows maybe one a week.  A better way to describe it would be like an additional placement similar to the ones I have done.  I will be reaching out to some of my old teachers and see what they advise and then we will go from there!
