1. What has been your most challenging class so far and why?
The most challenging class was chemistry 1210. Chemistry has always been a challenging subject to understand, and to familiarize ourselves with the work and receive assistance I suggested tutoring. Nate reached out, and created a plan, and was able to receive the resources necessary to improve and have a better understanding
of chemistry. This was important because we were both able to talk about the positive experience, we had with the ODI tutoring resource.
2. What was the most interesting part of Ohio States campus?
Nate was most interested in getting involved with clubs that related to his major, Veterinary medicine, and clubs that would introduce him to people who have similar interests. One club that we are both affiliated with is Buckeyes first, Buckeyes first is an organization that focuses on discussion resources and supporting students that are the first students to go to college in their families.
3. What are you most looking forward to the ACES program?
This semester has been very different from the traditional ways of operation. With all the virtual meetings and events this semester. Nate looks forward to more opportunities to do hands-on activities in his in-person animal handling class and volunteer opportunities.
4. What ate you most looking forward to in the ACES program?
The ACES program has done a wonderful job of introducing us to both students and local organization that focuses on service to the campus and the city. I shared my experience with the community projects we’ve done with the Ronald McDonald House, 4 paws, Dream center, and the Ohio State suicide prevention program, They were pretty exciting as we were able to spend time in discussion, letter writing, blanket making and snack packing to provide for people on our campus and community native are pretty excited to see what organization ACES will present next semester.
5. What is your dream job and why?
Nate’s dream to be a clinical veterinarian with his practice. Since a child, Nate has had a passion for helping animals. As he got older his experience increased, and so did his passion.
6. How will you balance academics and involvement?
Nate has made me very proud as a mentor. To balance academics, involvement, and work, he set out discrete time for work, studying, and involvements around class time. We talked about a challenge he was faced with was overlapping information from his classes. This was like an experience I had during my freshman year. I shared tips on mind mapping, asking clarifying questions, and shared many.
