At the end of my first year at the THE Ohio State University I have to sit back and reflect on my year. Thinking back on how much I’ve changed since first coming into the year in August to now. Starting off as an engineering major and discovering that was something that I would never want to do really helped me change my expectations for myself and the future. It really allowed me to reassess what I wanted from my future and how I valued happiness versus monetary stability. As well exploring helped me find a new passion in economics with which I’ve changed my major to.
Additionally, I’ve been able to make new friends especially through the scholars program. Getting to meet all the different people in my community and getting to know them better throughout the year helped change my world perspective as well getting to make real deep friendships. Many of the members of my scholars group helped me mature over the year as we tackled the year’s challenges together. Without my scholars group I would be wildly different today.
