Looking back on my first year at Ohio State, I have had a fantastic time. I am most appreciative of the experience I had in the International Affairs Scholars program as I made lifelong friends. I am excited to be on the Leadership Council for IA next year! Coming into OSU, I was initially worried about making friends and if I would do well academically. But thankfully, IA took care of the making friends part and I absolutely love my major (Early Childhood Education). I have always wanted to be a teacher, and this semester I was in a kindergarten classroom and it was the best experience I have had at Ohio State. I declared my minor in Political Science, and will be studying my summer semester at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. I can’t wait for where next year takes me!
