Year in Review

Since arriving on campus in August, I have noticed quite a few changes in myself and my expectations. When I first arrived, I had no idea how rigorous the pre-med track was or how much I had to work for my grades. The faculty at OSU pushes each student to their limit, but for good reason. I have grown to accept the fact that asking for help is more than okay—it is encouraged—but mostly, I have become more independent. I have realized that my career path is my own and that it is my responsibility to make my dreams of becoming a doctor happen, whether that be finding a research position, meeting a doctor to shadow, or getting to know professors. Though I have grown quite a bit since arriving on campus, I look forward to the continuous growth and knowledge that will surely occur over the next four years.
