I am apart of a program on campus call PenPals, which is where were write to a student in a local elementary school that is underprivileged. I have had the privilege to be pen pals with Theresa, an eleven year old in sixth grade. She has taught me about how responsible she has to be since she has twelve other siblings. She had to mature fast and do well in school for her family and her future. She is very mature to understand what is needed from her at such a young age. Writing to her for a semester has made me want to be a better student and a role model for her as well. She has also helped me realize my passion to help young children that do not have a lot of resources or opportunities. I would like to help spread global awareness on children that need help and more resources to be successful. I would also I like to help advocate for children across the country, and be their voice, when adults in leading roles don’t pay attention.

My G.O.A.L.S.
- I plan on minoring in Human Rights while being here at The Ohio State. I will develop more appreciation on other cultures and their rights. I will be more appreciative on other cultures that I never knew much about or look into consideration for being an activist for. I think it will help my global awareness for more and more groups of people, and then I can share what I learned with friends and family back home and who ever I end up working with.
- I would like to be apart of a professors research in sports medicine or kinesiology. I would like to better understand how the body moves and works, especially in athletes. Since I’m an athlete, it interest me more to be involved in research that can relate to me as well.
- I am a part of the varsity cheerleading team at Ohio State. Being a part of a team helps me learn leadership, discipline, and stay engaged in something. I would like to continue this passion when I grow up and share it with younger athletes and teacher/train them to be the best so they get to go on to the next level. I would like to enrich my academics in the medical field and continue to spread what I learn to help people in my community.
- Being on a sports team my whole life, I have learned what it takes to be a leader, and what a good leader looks like. I have seen many good coaches and leaders, and no so many good ones. So I understand what it takes and what makes an inspiring leader. I will develop these skills and strengthen them over the years by remaining on a team, and applying myself to other clubs/organizations.
- In my community, I plan on focusing to serve and help the youth. I want the youth to be stronger and have confidence in themselves and be about to feel good about their future. If they don’t have meals or shelter or can’t go to school, then it will be hard for them to have confidence and to find a purpose in their lives.
Career
[“Career” is where you can collect information about your experiences and skills that will apply to your future career. Like your resume, this is information that will evolve over time and should be continually updated.

friends back home
This is a picture of my close friends on my track team my senior year of high school. They have pushed me and taught me what a leader should be like, what a teammate should be like, what a sister and friends should be like. I learned a lot my senior year. We each had victory’s as well has rough patches, but that helped us grow closer. As I moved away from home for college, many of them stayed home, or are still in high school (they were underclassmen). They look up to me for being a student athlete at a huge and well known university. I am motivated to do well in school not just for my future, but for them to be motivated and to have a role model. I still stay in contact with them as well. It is important to stay in touch and check up on people to make sure they are achieving the goals they set for themselves. It helps when there is someone there to help you.
About Me
Siblings
My name is Brooke Shields and I am from Clarksburg, Maryland, about 45 minutes north of Washington D.C. I am a younger sister to my sister Brielle and Brother Bryson. I am also an aunt to my four year old nephew, Chase. In high school, I won five county titles, 3 regional titles, and 3 state titles. I also became all American in Cheerleading and in track and field. I came to The Ohio State University because I have always fell in love with the big campus and many resources they have to offer. I enjoy big schools with lots of school spirit as well. I knew I wanted to go out of state for college, and I’m glad I picked Ohio State. I would like to graduate with a Bachelors in Health Science, and go to graduate school to become a PA. I would like to move back to Maryland/DC to work and live because I love the DMV area so much.
While in high school, I have developed a lot of independence and self awareness. I have discovered what I want to be all on my own, and I have applied and pushed myself without the help of others. I know I am getting more and more independent as I am away from home as well. I have always been a student athlete as well. I started sports before I started school, so I always knew how to balance my work and school work. I am an athletes here at The Ohio State, and I love it! I worked so hard to get to this point, and have always wanted to be a cheerleader here, so I am very proud of myself for pushing and making it. I learned a lot over the years through adversity, trials, and triumphs, but I am excited to make more here in Ohio, and to enjoy the next four years.
