Year in Review
Although my freshman year was not like a typical year, I was still able to learn a lot through my coursework and personally. I was able to determine the best study methods that suit me and how much I need to study for certain classes. I will be able to apply my new study habits throughout the course of my college career. I also determined that I still want to continue with my major of exercise science, and I declared a minor in general psychology. I learned this by attending professional and education events put on by the OSU Pre-PT and Pre-OT club, and the Dine With the Department HSS events. This year confirmed that I want to be in the STEM field. Personally I learned a lot through my involvement in the student organization, The Boo Radley Society. This club is dedicated to random acts of kindness. I learned how much a difference small acts of kindness can make in someone’s day and how that can impact the environment around us. Next school year, I plan to continue my involvement in the OSU Pre-PT and Pre-OT club and The Boo Radley Society.
