This school year so far has been a time of exploration and acclimation to life in college. Although I attended classes here at Ohio State as a senior in high school, there are still adjustments to be made as a full-time student living on campus.
I am currently taking the introductory course for the neuroscience major, and find the material to be very interesting, especially given its connections with my own medical history. I have also learned what is required to be a competitive applicant to medical school, and have started to plan the rest of my college career accordingly.
Outside of the classroom, I have become involved with the Ohio State Table Tennis Team in addition to training to represent the United States in the Pan American Games in Costa Rica in late November. Additionally, I finished work on Everyone Can and have begun preparing for the first school visits, which will start later this month.
Next semester I plan on volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House of Columbus as well as beginning my research project studying the genetics of Campomelic Dysplasia.
