There are many classes at Ohio State that have transformed me as a student. However, one stands out in particular. In the spring of 2020, I took the health promotion and ideas prevention class that is a requirement for my major. From the first lecture, I knew that this class would become one of my favorites. The professor was well-versed in the subject, and was truly interested in helping us learn more about the topic. Throughout the course, we learned about health promotion through public policy, media, and many other channels. We are learned about disease prevention through the health promotion channels. I further developed my interest in public health through this course, and was able to apply the information even further when COVID-19 was announced as pandemic. By watching the news, reading articles, and keeping up to date with the World Health Organization, I was able to utilize the information gathered in this course to understand different aspects of this outbreak. This class changed some ideas I held about public health, strengthening my skills as a future health professional!

Statement of Action
After being transformed by my Ohio Stat experiences, I will become a dedicated Occupational Therapist. My developed skills in leadership and communication will assist me in graduate school and beyond. The devised plan will lead me to accomplishing my goals and helping others every day for the rest of my life.
Vision Statement
Throughout the remainder of my time at Ohio State, I want to further develop interpersonal relationships with professors and other students, while growing my knowledge of the health sciences field by volunteering and shadowing.
Sophomore Year
My second year at Ohio State has definitely been amazing! Throughout the year, I have been able to dive into many of my major courses, and work towards completing my minor. I have grown close with many of my professors, and feel like I have found a home in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. My minor classes have been interesting for me to take, as well! Along with all of my classes, I have spent a lot of time working with my clubs! As the president of Project Sunshine, I spent time organizing fundraisers, planning meetings, and volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio. This year I also become very involved with the Campus Outreach ministry on campus. Both of these activites have enabled me to create strong relationships with many people in the Ohio State community. Sadly, the spring semester of this year was cut short due to COVID-19. I had to move out of my dorm, leave my friends that have become my second family, and leave Columbus. It is been quite the transition, but I am thankful for the wonderful people that understand this is a hard time for students. Overall, this year has definitely been on to remember. I am grateful for the chance to continue my time at Ohio State, and it is hard to believe that I only have 3 semesters left of my undergraduate degree!
