G.O.A.L.S Statement

G. Global Awareness.

Working toward global awareness, I want to find clubs and extracurricular activities that I can participate in to find and further diversity among me and others. Regarding academics, I wish to take classes which help elaborate on the global diversity that I may be unaware of.  So far Russian Literature has shown me portions of Russian life that I was unaware off, and I wish to further those types of understandings in other classes.

O. Original Inquiry

As and actuary science major, it’s a little hard to weave research into my major, however taking high level classes and honors is an easy way to engage in research experiences. Hopefully I can develop research abilities through this process, and further my desire to delve deeper into that rabbit hole.

A. Academic Enrichment

Taking high level math courses is something I foresee me doing in the future, as it’s a good path to follow in order to be ahead of other when applying for jobs in my field. OSU offers a variety of great courses that can fulfill my desire to find those top level courses and rigorous work.

L. Leadership Development

Participating and finding clubs in something I love to be a part off. There I can find ways to develop leadership skills among my peers outside of a classroom environment where people can act without bounds. Being in the classroom allows for more professional leadership development around making projects and taking control when necessary.

S. Service Engagement

OSU offers a variety of opportunities to find ways to give back to the community, and a plethora of clubs which dedicate themselves to doing so. I’m planning on spending my second year finding those clubs that interest me in order to give back what was given to me.
