One extremely positive experience for me during my early moments at The Ohio State University has been participating in and leading the intramural flag football team. This team competes in the All-scholars league and is affiliated with STEM Exploration and Engagement. As a member of this team, I have fulfilled my long-term involvement activity. Being a part of this team has been beneficial to me in many ways including developing my leadership skills and integrating myself within the STEM EE community.
Being co-captain on the STEM EE intramural flag football team has enabled me to develop and increase my leadership abilities. For example, as co-captain, I am responsible for motivating the team to perform well and teaching and helping other teammates who have not played organized football before. In addition to leadership development, my experience on this team has helped me connect with fellow STEM EE scholars on a social level which has greatly increased my network of friends and colleagues here at Ohio State. Overall, my experience on the STEM EE intramural flag football team is one that will surely enhance my future relationships in and out of the classroom.
