Year in Review

Over the past year, I have definitely grown. Most of all, I have grown as a scholar and a student. Over the past year, I have studied and learned more than I had in any other year. I expanded my mind and my curiosity in this past year. My experience in the classroom over this past year, has shaped me into a new, wiser, and more open person. I have learned things about people and culture that I had never known before. I have met people who came to this country with nothing, not even knowledge of the language, and I have seen them grow and adapt and learn. It is remarkable how watching, and listening to other people, and the hardships they have experienced, and the faith they have that learning and listening will make it better, will change a person. It changed me into a listener, a learner, and a more open person than i ever was before. I grew into someone that I am proud of.

G.O.A.L.S.

G.O.A.L.S is a great way to plan and coordinate activities to enrich your experience at OSU, and in life. I plan on participating in rigorous but interesting courses, so that I can expand my academic profile, and enrich my mind with new ideas and thoughts. I plan on questioning things, and having an open mind in these new courses, so that I can better understand different sides of arguments, and different beliefs. I will get involved in groups and activities in order to expand my circle of friends, so that I can get a look into different ways of life, different points of view, and different cultures. I believe it is important to learn what others have to say, and why they think this way. It is important to expand what you already know into a vaster array of knowledge. I plan to do these things, by applying G.O.A.L.S at OSU, so that i can better understand.

About Me

My name is Olivia. I am a freshmen at Ohio State University majoring in Political Science. Throughout high school, I found myself more immersed in my social science classes. I found History, English, and Government to be my favorite and best subjects. My experience in those classes, with those teachers is what lead me to choose political science as my major. In the future, I hope to have a career in politics, and the government. I plan to get involved in extra curriculars, and speak with professors who have experience in this field and discuss their thoughts on the field. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, and watching old, vintage movies. I also enjoy reading up on current events to get myself aware of the world that I live in.
