My first semester at the Ohio State University has been quite an experience. Before this semester had started, I was completely nervous about college and was concerned about fitting in and making friends. The activities and meetings in scholars helped accustom me to college life and connect me with the friends I have today. Biological Scholars has most definitely helped me appreciate all of the resources this university has to offer, and the various speakers in scholars seminar taught me how to befriend my professors. Scholars has also given me a jump-start to my professional career by developing an online e-portfolio as well as my resume.
