G.O.A.L.S.

by

Global Awareness- For this aspect of being a scholar, I hope to study abroad and branch out into different parts of the world. I want to be able to see how lives are led and apply what is seen abroad back to my home and OSU. I participated in the Scientific Roots in Europe study abroad trip during my freshman year, where I travelled to London and Paris to learn scientific history.

Original Inquiry- I plan to pursue research that can help me make a difference. I want to study autism and genetic disorders, that can hopefully lead to ideas of how to help ease symptoms or cure certain disorders all together. I want to take the ideas I have and be able to test ideas that could lead to the improvement of the lives of individuals who were previously effected.

Academic Enrichment- I chose my major in molecular genetics because of my fascination with the way humans are able to develop into the intricate beings we are. To make sure I get the most out of my academic experience, I want to challenge myself with classes that will help me to continue growing as a student and learn about the things that made me chose this major.

Leadership Development- I am the President of the Project Sunshine organization on campus. I show leadership by neon the main contact and helping the club stay organized and involved on campus and at the Ronald McDonald House of Central Ohio.

Service Engagement- As a scholar I am presented with many opportunities to volunteer in the Columbus community and I have the goal of being as a active as I can with this volunteering. I want to learn about my new home and be able to have part in the amazing things being done to improve this area and help people who need assistance.
