Over the next few years, I look forward to the possibility of continuing in the Architecture Scholars program. Through Architecture Scholars, I hope to participate in travel programs, academic collaboration with my peers, and develop friendships and connections that will last beyond my four years here.
Outside of design courses, I hope to explore courses in any of a variety foreign languages or minors pertaining to design, including architecture, landscape architecture, or city and regional planning. Foreign language courses would allow me to not only increase my ability to communicate with other people from all over the world, but also expand my world view. Additional courses related design could improve my manner of design thinking and lead to more creative thinking.
Over summers I plan to work in either an internship position or in a paid position doing design work of some kind. Any of the options mentioned in the prompt may be something I pursue over the course of my collegiate career as any and all of them seem valuable to my educational experience.
Through college, interacting with students of different backgrounds and origins will exponentially increase my global awareness, as will any additional opportunities I take during my educational career. My collegiate career will be, in and of itself, a long series of original inquiries, both related and unrelated. The same will be true of academic enrichment. Through both the Morrill Scholars Program and the Architecture Scholars program I will learn leadership skills that I will carry with me through life and will engage in service projects in which I may not otherwise have the opportunity to participate.
Through each opportunity I have been provided by the Ohio State University I plan to excel in the scholars G.O.A.L.S. that have been placed before me. As a student I plan to make not only my life better through my time here, but other’s lives as well. I look forward to progressing through these next three years as not only a student, but a person.
