This year, I have two mentors for the PSL Scholars program. They are Matthew Berman and Beth Ann Powers. I chose to interview Matthew. Matthew is a sophomore studying political science with a minor studies interest in music. Matthew is an involved individual on campus as he is an RA at Park-Stradley, involved with the OSU Pen Pals, a mentor for the PSL Scholars, and a french horn player in the Buckeye Philharmonic.
It was mentioned that he decided to join the PSL Scholars because this organization offered interests in politics and law. He mentioned that during his first year in PSL he discovered something about himself. He discovered that he would much rather focus on the legal aspect of law saying that he would like to become a judge or attorney.
Matthew enjoys being a leader because he has an interest in helping others. He mentioned specifically that he enjoys including others and making their experiences the best that they can be. Matthew is inspired by an RA named Vince that he had last year in becoming a better leader because of his great advising and ability to be a good friend.
Ad-Lib Facts: Matthew’s favorite color is blue. His hobbies primarily include playing the French horn. He enjoys watching horror movies for the adrenaline rush. He loves to read American Classics. If he had to relive one memory, it would be the time when he was the lead in his senior year school play because it was a fun time to be himself.
