There are many things that I hope to accomplish during my time at OSU that aligns with G.O.A.L.S. . Many of my classes have already exposed me to global awareness. One major source of this has been my introduction to engineering where many scenarios are based off of humanitarian relief. I hope that my classes continue to provide this type of outlook. I have also been exposed to Original Inquiry. One major project I have done in relation to this is a project for engineering. The project was based around coding and we had to create our own game. This allowed me to explore types of coding that we had not gone over in class and developed my skills as a programmer. I am Currently holding down a strong GPA and hope that I can continue to maintain a competitive GPA throughout my college career. I have been exposed to team work in many of my courses. This has allowed me to develop team skills and has provided me to take the lead many times to develop my leadership abilities. At this point I have unfortunately not gotten many opportunities for community service however I plan to do community service when it is more available.
