Well hello there! My name is Ishan Rola, and I am a freshman Neuroscience major from Springboro, Ohio. I am quite a lively and ambitious person, and I came to Ohio State to expand myself academically,
professionally, and (hopefully) socially.
My career path started to focus as soon as I started 10th grade. Up until then, I had been fairly sure I was going in the engineering field. I loved my spot as a programmer on the school’s robotics team, and both my parents were engineers, so that is where I thought I would end up. However, I took Physiology and Anatomy, where I found a hidden passion for understanding how the human body worked. I found how all the different systems of the body correlated with each other just… satisfying. It was incredible. At that point I knew that I wanted to do something in the sciences, especially Neuroscience, since that was a rapidly growing field. But I still did not know if I wanted to be a researcher, or a doctor

During my senior year of high school, I began to become more knowledgeable of the multitudinous medical issues plaguing our “developed” world, even in our country. I knew that I wanted to be a force for change and help people in whatever way I could. So I decided that, yes, I wanted to be a doctor. It was a perfect match; my love for understanding the human body and my motivation to help those less fortunate to create BOOM, the perfect career path. More importantly however, I wanted to learn more about the medical challenges of our world so that someday, in the future, I will be able to create an organization that can make difference in people’s lives. That is my end goal, and this is my journey. Let’s begin.
