I believe that perspectives and arguments are important from each person, and these are especially important in the field of History, as well as in life. Global Awareness encompasses the ability to see value in others’ perspectives and ideas, and this is my goal both in my field and my life. For Original Inquiry, I hope to soon begin participating in research in history, hopefully either exploring medieval sexual violence law and punishment, or one of several other options. Academic Enrichment involves choosing your classes and programs according to your passions, and this is what I have done. I chose my major because I am passionate about medieval history, religion, and literature, especially that of England and Scotland, which are reflected in my course choices. For Leadership Development, I hope to be a board member of the club Mappa Mundi, and to take a leadership role in the founding and developing of my Eminence Fellowship class’ service project. And finally, Service Engagement is very important to me and I hope to not only express this in my class’ service project, but also by participating in service around the Columbus and campus community, by volunteering in nursing homes and possibly helping to build wheelchair ramps for the disabled as I have done in the past.
