- Restorative — As a restorative person, I am someone who concentrates on improving and fixing myself and situations I am in. In a group setting, I am the team member that can pinpoint weaknesses and suggest improvements to polish the final product.
- Developer — As a developer, I am willing to help others develop a skill and search for personal strengths and goals to accomplish. I love to interact with kids because their ideas are true and pure; I am interested in considering the thought processes of children and adults when trying to come with a solution to a problem.
- Connectedness — As a person who connects, I strive to find a link in all things that I do. Although I do not have a set plan for the future and am setting myself as a person who can adapt to change, I like to have a purpose and reason behind my plans. I connect with people and ideas to come up with rational processes during group work as well.
- Learner — As a learner, I definitely pride myself in learning from experience. More so than learning course content/skills, experience also provides a way for me to stay grounded and connected to a purpose. I also enjoy working on my weaknesses because I find a greater sense of accomplishment when my hard work pays off.
- Discipline — As a person who is disciplined, I love keeping everything in my power in order. That includes my schedule, my belongings, and most importantly, my thoughts. Discipline helps me to think rationally rather than emotionally. The structure helps to keep everything set so that my goals feel like they can be accomplished.
About Me
About Me
Arpita Rhea Saha is a second-year student at The Ohio State University. A Humanitarian Engineering Scholar, Rhea is pursuing a degree in anthropological sciences. Paired with her aspiration to continue a career filled with life-long learning and service, she decided to pursue the medical field.
Rhea is looking forward to getting involved in clubs that promote diversity and holistic well-being. In high school, Rhea started a yoga club with the intention of providing students a healthy outlet for their stress. Little did she know that yoga and dance would provide comfort for her in college as well. Additionally, although she was not quite gifted in the production of visual art, she dedicated her time as a violinist in her school orchestras. When she wasn’t scrambling to learn some Bach, she picked up some modern tunes on the classical instrument.
Rhea’s biggest motivation for pursuing her education is the knowledge that she is learning fundamental tools that will allow her to be in a position to better serve underprivileged communities at home and abroad. Along with investing her time in school as a Humanitarian Engineering Scholar, she joined the OSU chapter of A Kid Again, a service organization to help children with terminal illnesses. Additionally, Rhea is involved in advocating for women through the American Medical Women’s Association. With alliances across the school, she is hopeful for her journey ahead.
