I am now halfway through my experience as an undergraduate at Ohio State, with two more years left.  My immediate vision involves finishing out these two years and obtaining a Bachelor of Science and then going to graduate school and obtaining a Master’s there.  In the long haul, though, I plan on having a career that involves doing research on animals.  I still have to think more about what kind of research I want to do, so for my junior and senior years, I plan on reaching out to various professors and/or graduate students with the idea of assisting them in their research.  I can use these opportunities to determine what kinds of research I would be interested in doing someday, as well as what kinds of research I would like to avoid.

My ePortfolio contains a variety of information that pertains to the experiences I have had during my freshman and sophomore years at Ohio State.  It includes artifacts that represent significant achievements for me, a G.O.A.L.S. section that demonstrates how I am improving as a student and as a leader, an event that shows my involvement within Biological Sciences Scholars, reflections of my years at Ohio State, and also other general information about myself.

I watched the movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle at the Gateway Film Center for my second scholars event of the summer.

One thing I gained from the experiment was that going to the movies is an enjoyable experience.

My name is Andrew Stocker, and I am a freshman at The Ohio State University.  I am enrolled in the Biological Scholars program and am majoring in zoology.
