About Me
Hi, I’m Stephanie Renner and i’m a first-year from Cincinnati, Ohio! My intended major going into this year is linguistics with a Spanish minor. I have always been into English and foreign language patterns, and my goal is eventually to become fluent in Spanish, and maybe another language. I also plan to study abroad in Latin America or Spain at some point as a student at Ohio State.
Outside of the classroom, I am into all things sports; whether it’s being active myself, or watching games on tv with my friends and Skyline Chili dip. I have played soccer my whole life, and I also have been involved in swimming, diving, and basketball. I decided to join DSWS in my first year because of my love of sports and physical activities! My favorite sporting event to watch is the World Cup (sad the USA didn’t make it this year) because it brings together my two passions for languages and sports together.
This past May, I attended two college graduations for my twin brothers, one of which went to OSU and was a part of DSWS! As boring as the ceremonies were, it was amazing to see them achieve academic goals and set more as they move on to new phases of their lives. It was a motivator for me to do the same! I’ll miss them, my parents, and my cat back at home, but I can’t wait to be immersed in my new home at OSU this fall!
