My name is Alexis Sauer. I am in the Humanitarian Engineering Scholars program as a biology major. Some of my interests include creating art and reading. I am excited to be an Ohio State Buckeye this year!
I took the StrengthsFinder Assessment and it said that my top five strength are strategic, empathy,competition, responsibility, and intellection. My strategic strength helps me to create a roadmap for a project to find the most efficient ways to reach the end goal. This helps me with time management to sure that I get everything done to the best of my ability in the time that I have allotted. The next strength, empathy, helps me to understand what others are going through, which allows me to listen and try to understand ideas that are different than my own. The diversity of ideas that I hear allow me to look at problems and try to consider other peoples perspective when I am solving them. I also like to challenge myself in the spirit of competition. Trying to win in competitions, no matter how frivolous, helps me to improve my own skills in the subject whether it is an art competition or if my friends and I are competing for the best grade in the class. In order to help me achieve the goals that I make for myself with the strategic strength, I use my responsibility strenth to make sure I am reaching my goal on a reasonable time frame. But my responsibility also means that I make sure to always show up to things that I commit too, like doing my role in a group project or showing up on time for volunteer work. My final strength in the top five is intellection. I like to think through things in order to try to understand the world around me. This helps me to plan things out and to keep track of my commitments.
