Global Awareness: Having visited Israel in the summer of 2014, I witnesses the crux of their political and social conflict. While learning about Israel’s culture and government, I developed a strong passion for global awareness and international affairs. I worked first hand with politicians and leaders of various organizations to discuss the conflict, and Israel’s future.
Original Inquiry: I was the President of my high schools World Language Club. I led a group of students in creating fundraisers while learning about, and encouraging the embracement diversity. This club enabled me to become more accepting and welcoming, and opened my eyes to many different groups of people. I strongly believe that my involvement in this club allowed me to be more successful at such a large and diverse University.
Academic Enrichment: I plan on pursuing a career in Human Resources. I enjoy the logistics of business however I also want to socialize with people on a daily basis. The Human Resources major combines both of these interests. I am currently taking microeconomics as well as communication in society. Taking these classes at the same time affirms where my interests lie.
Leadership Development: As a member of my High School’s Youth Leadership Forum, I have learned how to lead large groups of people inside and out of the student body. This group provided me skills that have enabled me to lead various groups. Leading these groups has provided me with a new sense of confidence, responsibility, and overall determination.
Service Engagement: This past year I volunteered weekly at a school for children with special needs. Through this program I learned a great deal about learning disorders, and social disorders, as well as effective ways to help struggling students. I hope to find an organization here at Ohio State that will provide me with a similar experience.
