Year in Review

[ “Year in Review”  is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student.  You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.  For more guidance on using your ePortfolio, including questions and prompts that will help you get started, please visit the Honors & Scholars ePortfolio course in Carmen.

G.O.A.L.S.

 

  • Global Awareness: My concentration and my major directly correlate with Global Awareness. I am interested in political science both domestically and around the world. In addition, I hope to take part in a study abroad after my sophomore year in order to learn more about other countries around the world. Finally I am minoring in French, not only to learn the language but the culture as a whole.
  • Original Inquiry: By the end of my undergraduate experience, I would love to complete a thesis. I think that being involved in other undergraduate research would be fun as well, but I think to have my very own project like that would be a once in a lifetime opportunity that I would love to take advantage of. I am not totally sure the route I would go with it yet, but I know it is something that I would love to accomplish.
  • Academic Enrichment: I plan on taking classes that will stretch my brain and make me a stronger student. Easy classes can be nice for GPAs, but I’d rather push my thinking and really earn a high grade, rather than be simply given one.
  • Leadership Development: Leadership is something that I am really hoping to further develop in college. I hope to get involved in a club that I am really passionate about and to use my skills to my advantage and hopefully become a leaser in that (or those) club(s).
  • Service Engagement: I have always been very passionate about community service and I am still looking to find the perfect match for me at Ohio State, but I have no doubt that I will. I am especially committed to helping the homeless, as well as children with special needs. I know there are tons of opportunities on this campus, and I can’t wait to find the best one for me.
