Artifacts
Artifact #1
This artifact is the gift I am holding from my grandparents, who are also in the picture. They gave me this hand-engraved rifle as a gift for receiving my Eagle Scout Rank in Boy Scouts. Even though Boy Scouts has somewhat a negative reputation, I take pride in achieving this rank and the long process of achieving the award is apart of what shaped me as the independent, responsible person I consider myself to be today.
Artifact #2
This artifact is simply a cup of coffee from the Connecting Grounds Coffee Shop in front of Drackett Tower, however coffee has been such a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. My parents owned a coffee shop when I was very young and I’ve enjoyed the taste of coffee for as long as I can remember. Even today, coffee plays a significant role in my life as it has become a part of my daily routine here at OSU and it helps me get through classes when I didn’t get enough sleep the night before. Overall, coffee has been both a connection to home and a representation of the hard work and determination I have had at OSU so far.
About Me
Hello, my name is Teddy Renner and I’m just a kid from Akron. I graduated from Copley High School in May of 2017 and now attend The Ohio State University. In March of this year I achieved my Eagle Scout Award and the process of achieving this award I learned how to work with and lead others. The Boy Scouts program also gave me an outlet to travel across the country and go on long camping trips in places such as Minnesota and New Mexico. Through these trips I gained a love for the outdoors and camping in general. I am also a huge sports fan and love all Northeast Ohio sports teams as well as The Ohio State University Buckeyes (of course). I am also a big movie buff and particularly love Quentin Tarantino movies such as Inglourious Basterds and Pulp Fiction. At The Ohio State University, I am a first year student studying biomedical engineering and plan on going to medical school after I achieve my undergraduate degree. At OSU, I am involved in the Humanitarian Engineering Scholars program and the Biomedical Engineering Society. I love helping other people and the Humanitarian engineering program allows for me to help others in the Columbus community.
- Achiever: This trait connects with me as I am a highly motivated person who works hard and will do whatever it takes to get something done.
- Analytical: This trait connects with me as I consider myself to be an extremely reasonable and empathetic person who can look at the entirety of a situation and look at a situation from another person’s perspective in order to find the best solution.
- Responsibility: I connect with this trait as I take pride in having responsibilities and always try to follow through with my promises and commitments. Taking on responsibilities is a very important part of life and I enjoy embracing the responsibilities handed to me.
- Harmony: This trait is consistent with me as I am not a fan of arguments or conflict and would rather try to compromise and find a rational common ground that works for both parties.
- Consistency: This trait relates to my life as I hold myself to a set of rules that are consistent for how I treat everyone and how I think everyone deserves to be treated.
