- Global Awareness: I will become involved with many different groups and organizations at OSU, to introduce myself to other students of different backgrounds and cultures. I hope to look into a study abroad opportunity in a Spanish speaking country to learn more about different cultures and live amongst the people, engaging in their cultural aspects, food, and just daily activities. I believe this will help me grow as a person and appreciative for the great diversity in the world.
- Original Inquiry: I will look into open research labs at Ohio State with subject matter important to me, such as a lab in psychology or neuroscience. If given the opportunity to work in a research lab I hope to gain many fundamental skills that I can carry with me to med school.
- Academic Enrichment: I plan on pushing myself in the classroom by taking rigorous courses, such as honors courses and upper-level courses that push me to think more in depth. I believe taking harder courses will prep me for med school and allow me to learn different ways of studying and new approaches to learning material. I plan on graduating OSU with a degree in Neuroscience and a minor in Spanish. By minoring in Spanish I hope to gain skills that I will be able to carry on to med school and in my future career as a doctor with patients.
- Leadership Development: Strong leadership skills is an important characteristic to have as an individual planning on pursuing a career in the medical field. Throughout high school I was very involved and was the senior class president. This helped me gain a base line for leadership. I plan on strengthening my leadership skills by applying for committee positions for different organizations and groups I become apart of here at OSU.
- Service Engagement: During my time at OSU, I plan on continuing to dedicate my time to volunteering and helping out in my community. I plan on continuing to volunteer at the Franklin County Dog Shelter weekly and occasionally volunteering at the Mid-Ohio food bank. I also plan on volunteering at the Wexner Medical Center, helping with patient care while also developing skills to help me in my future career.
