Year in Review
[ “Year in Review” is where you should reflect on the past year and show how you have evolved as a person and as a student. You may want to focus on your growth in a particular area (as a leader, scholar, researcher, etc.) or you may want to talk about your overall experience over the past year.

Global Awareness: Students cultivate and develop their appreciation for diversity and each individual’s unique differences. For example, consider course work, study abroad, involvement in cultural organizations or activities, etc .
Original Inquiry: Honors & Scholars students understand the research process by engaging in experiences ranging from in-class scholarly endeavors to creative inquiry projects to independent experiences with top researchers across campus and in the global community. For example, consider research, creative productions or performances, advanced course work, etc.
Academic Enrichment: Honors & Scholars students pursue academic excellence through rigorous curricular experiences beyond the university norm both in and out of the classroom.
Leadership Development: Honors & Scholars students develop leadership skills that can be demonstrated in the classroom, in the community, in their co-curricular activities, and in their future roles in society.
Service Engagement: Honors & Scholars students commit to service to the community.]

About Me
I am a college freshman majoring in mechanical engineering and am a humanitarian engineering scholar. I hope to either add physics as a double major or a minor. While at Ohio State, I hope to spend time doing undergraduate research while learning more about possible academic interests. In high school I was involved in 13 extracurriculars that covered music, sports, service, religion, and academia. I am originally from Kenton Ohio, a smallish rural town northwest of Columbus. I am excited for all the opportunities at Ohio State as well as all the opportunities in Columbus and I hope that the next four years will be full of adventures.
My Clifton strengths are ideation, restorative, achiever, learner, and command.
Ideation – I relate well to the ideation strength because I am always full of ideas. I also like to seek out new and different experiences which matches with the ideation strength.
Restorative – I often seek challenging problems and I’m invigorated when I see myself forming solutions.
Achiever – I am always setting new goals for myself and pushing myself to go farther in just about everything. I also get very restless if I relax for too long. There always needs to be something to work towards.
Learner – I am always looking to learn more information and I often read about interesting topics outside of class such as ancient civilizations, and quantum mechanics. I also feel attracted to tough and challenging problems which closely matches with the learner strength.
Command – I don’t often take charge, but if I think I have a better vision or if the current leadership is lacking I don’t mind taking charge. I have the initiative and ideas to lead and people who really know me will often look towards me to lead them.
