About Me

 

 

 

 

Hello my name is Monica Pannett and I am a first year student here at The Ohio State University. My major is Pharmaceutical Sciences and I am hoping to double major with Spanish. I am from Hilliard Ohio which is about 20 minutes outside of Columbus. I went to Hilliard Darby High School and I was very involved there. I was the class president and I was also involved in Hope Squad, NHS, and Panther Ambassadors. I worked as an instructor at the local Taekwondo studio. There I was a level 3 instructor and a 3rd degree decided black belt. I plan to continue working there over breaks and over the summer.

I am very excited for my time at Ohio State. I am currently in the Mount Leadership Society Scholars and I am on the Community Activities Committee, also known as CAC. I am hoping to become a chair for CAC next year. I am also hoping to join a few student orgs during my time at OSU, I am very passionate about gender equality so I am hoping to join a club centered around that. I am also pre-med so I am hoping to join a club for pre-med students. After my time at OSU I am hoping to attend medical school and eventually become a pediatrician.

Artifacts

For my Artifact I chose taekwondo. Taekwondo has been a huge part of my life since I started when I was 7 years old. Since I have become a 3rd degree decided black belt and a level 4 instructor. I have found a second family in taekwondo and teaching taekwondo has taught me so much about myself. In this image I am receiving my third degree black belt in May 2016.

The first time I tested for my third degree black belt was in January 2016, this was my first time at national testing. It was a scary experience because I was only 13 years old. Many people do not pass national testing on their first time, and I did not either. I no changed because of sparring which made me very sad because sparring is a core piece of Taekwondo. The next testing was in May, so I worked super hard over the next couple of months to become better. My instructors helped me and I was able to pass my first national testing in May. This was huge for me and brought me to the next level as a martial artist.

As an instructor, it is my job to prepare student for their testing. Before students test in nationals they test at their home taekwondo studio where their instructors judge, so I also judge their testings. Seeing these kids succeed is very important to me, so I work very hard to prepare them to do well at testing. I form great relationships with them over the years and when they finally reach their dreams, I get to be so proud of them. Recently some of the kids I have taught for a while went to their first national testing and did not pass. I am excited to work with them when I go back in december and prepare them to pass at their next national testing.
