Leadership is being able to apply your life experiences to different situations and help others grow. This includes being willing to make yourself uncomfortable in order to help others thrive. Sports are a great example of leadership because there are always people on any given team that have the ability to move their team and change their mindset. The Super Bowl from two years ago with the Falcons and the Patriots is a great example of leadership. The Patriots went into halftime down by a large margin and they could have easily given up and stopped playing all together. Instead of coming out for the second half distraught and losing their motivation they had players on their team that helped to encourage others and promote a positive environment which allowed the team to focus their negative energy into something positive that ultimately proved well for them. At these football games the camera always shows not only the people on the field but also the players on the sideline, because body language and how one reacts when the spotlight is not nessecarily on them shows a lot about their character and ability to lead by example. Many great leaders that people look up to come in the form of athletes because of the positive environment and community that is fostered in a team environment.

About Me
My name is Madison Rivero from Fredericksburg, Virginia and I am going into my first year at Ohio State in the fall. I am a Biology and Criminal Justice major looking to pursue a career in the field of forensic science. Throughout my life I have been actively involved in athletics including playing volleyball and tennis, and competing in Crossfit and Olympic Weightlifting throughout high school. Because of my passion for athletics and competition I joined the Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars program. I also became a part of the Morrill Scholars Program through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion to become involved in the large, diverse community of students at Ohio State that share a passion for justice and change.
Another large part of my life is my devotion to volunteering in the community. In high school I was involved in many service organizations. One of the most rewarding organizations was a program called Brain Builders that provided tutoring and mentoring at local elementary schools for students that did not have a support system at home to help them succeed. While at Ohio State I hope to become involved in similar organizations as well as try new opportunities.
I also love to travel and take in new places and cultures. With that being said I am looking forward to being able to participate in a study abroad program while at Ohio state. I want to be able to travel and make a difference for others while still being able to continue my education. I also want to experience my heritage as well and learn how to better serve the Latino community and provide resources and opportunities, including higher education.
In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, crafting, baking or cooking, and watching movies. I also enjoy being able to be outside, including going hiking, kayaking, laying in my hammock, and walking my dog. I am looking forward to finding cute places to eat and experience everything that Columbus has to offer. However, I am most looking forward to being a part of the Buckeye traditions and experience Ohio State athletics.
