The 2016-2017 school years has been a very rewarding one for myself. Coming into this year, I knew I wanted to focus on improving myself. I wanted to become more comfortable with who I was, even if that meant being a little selfish at times. Looking back now, I definitely feel as though I have made improvement. I feel much more confident about who I am and where I want to be. I have also continued to stick with my academic goals. My classes this year have been much more interesting, and they have given me a much clearer vision of what I want to do with my life. Thanks to my involvement in Theta Chi Fraternity, International Affairs Scholars program, and STEP, this year has been a remarkable one for me, and I look forward to next year!

Hocking Hills Trip
Last Sunday, April 9th, my scholars program took a trip to Hocking Hills State Park. This trip was a fantastic was to wrap up my time as an International Affairs scholar. I had never been to Hocking Hills. Some of the sights were incredible. The picture above is of Old Man’s Cave. As my time in the scholars program comes to an end, I can’t help but be appreciative of all that is has given. It has taught me so much and has helped me become a much more understanding and open person. It has also brought my to my best friends. I will always be grateful of the International Affairs Scholars program.
Theta Chi Fraternity
Perhaps my most time-consuming adventure this semester was installing Theta Chi Fraternity at The Ohio State University. Alpha Lambda began as a colony in September 16, 2016. At that time, it had 20 men. On April 8, 2017, Alpha Lambda was installed as an official chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity. We currently have 71 men. It has been incredibly rewarding to be part of a group such as this, and the progress we have made has been impressive. Joining this fraternity has improved my college experience immensely, and I look forward to the progress and experiences we have before us.
Summer 2017 Internship
I have accepted a summer internship with Great American Insurance Group. I will be the Data Sciences Intern in the Predictive Analytics department of Great American Insurance. I am extremely excited for this opportunity. Ultimately, I would like to have a career in analytics, and this internship is a fantastic way to get my foot in the door. The job is located in downtown Cincinnati. This is also very helpful, for I get the chance to live at home and not worry about paying rent in another city. I look forward to gaining experience with data and analytics.
