Hello. My name is Abrielle Newman- but I mostly go by Abby.  I am a first year at Ohio State, majoring in Economics on a Pre-Law track.  This year I am involved in the Politics, Society and Law Scholars Program, and I am extremely excited! I am deeply interested in politics and seeing as I am on a Pre-Law track, the law aspect of this program intrigues me as well! I have always been a motivated and driven student, and I graduated as seventh in my high school class of around 450.  School, more specifically learning, is a huge part of life and something that I greatly enjoy.  I have always been extremely involved in my school and community.  My senior year of high school I was Student Council President, president of my show choir and historian of the Drama Club.  Leadership and involvement are core elements of my life.  I hope that my strong educational background and my sense of leadership transfer into my college experience and later into my career.
