Hello! My name is Clayton Rush and I am an 18 year old from North Royalton, OH. I am currently a student at The Ohio State University studying economics. In the spring of 2015, I graduated with an honors diploma from North Royalton High School. While in high school, I participated in cross country, swimming, and track, and was also part of the National Honor Society. I have worked as lifeguard for both Metropolitan Pool Service and the Ehrnfelt Recreation Center.
After graduating from college, I plan on joining the Peace Corps for two years. After that, I would like to work in the foreign service, particularly with the United States Department of State. Promoting world peace and providing aid to foreign countries who need it are very important to me. Another issue that is meaningful to me is income inequality, which is one of the reasons why I chose to study economics. I have been inspired by many of my high school teachers and quite a few of my peers. Overall, my dream is to instill change that will leave a lasting positive impact on the world.
