Music– I’ve been playing music since the third grade, and it has been a staple throughout my life and education. As I began music, I was not experienced in the slightest, and having something so foreign to me interested me greatly. I strived to be the best I could be, and excelled. It wasn’t until my first concert that I realized that I am not the only that matters, that I am an integral part of a group. This struck a chord with me, and music has given me another perspective on how my part in a project contributes to the whole, and being able to do this effectively requires listening, patience, and devotion. These have been taught to me all through music, and it really shows that you can learn from very different experiences than what you might think.

Community– Coming from a small town, I was very involved in my community and for a while. I learned the importance of having a strong connection with the community. I was very nervous about starting college in a new and much larger city. Being in the Humanitarian Engineering Scholar Program, I have been given the opportunity to have that connection with a community, whether it be the city of Columbus or even the collegiate community through various activities and volunteering opportunities.
