Before I came to Ohio State, I was a very different person. I had some people I knew I could count on here, but I didn’t really have a community of people. I wanted to find people I could relate to and be real with. I fount that when I joined the Biological Sciences Scholars. Although I am a computer science and engineering major, I am still able to get help with homework and talk about classes. I have been able to make friend with people I never would have met if I were not part of BioSci.
As well as making friends, I have also been able to discover many resources from being in BioSci. One of which is exposure to professionals in many fields, like biology and chemistry. That exposure allows for many connections and networks for the future. I have also been able to take advantage of the resources like career services. I know it is available to students, I may have never been exposed to it if I didn’t need to get y resume checked. Community service is also another opportunity I have had available to me from participating in BioSci.
I have been very appreciative of all of the opportunities I have had by being in BioSci and I look forward to my future in the program.
My first semester of college has had lots of ups and downs, both which have taught me valuable lessons about myself and my future. My rigorous schedule taught me time management skills which will serve me well for the semesters still ahead of me at Ohio State. Being involved in clubs has been a great way to meet new friends and explore interests that I have always had a passion for.
