My second year I was able to start a nonprofit, become the student lead for student organizations, a student organization success coach, obtain a research position and maintain my GPA. This past year I gained a lot of titles and became even more involved in all aspects of campus but most importantly I was able to grow as an individual. I learned to recognize my privilege and be able to encourage others to acknowledges theirs. I have grown into my own confidence and learned to love who I am. I hope to continue this growth for the rest of my time on campus and as I move forward into my future endeavors.

With my remaining time on campus, I wish to expand the Fresh Start Foundation to other campuses and collaborate with other larger organizations such as Johnson & Johnson. I will continue to work on getting my degree in Neuroscience with a minor in Pharmaceutical Sciences. I will apply to medical schools the summer prior to my senior year and hope to be accepted and continue my education. As the Student Lead for Student Organizations, I hope to help the Office of Student Life to reach more students and help get them involved on campus because being involved has played a pivotal role in my experience at Ohio State. The next two year I hope to continue to grow as an individual, become a more advanced scholar, and stay true to my values.

This was taken at the Wilds in Cumberland, Ohio which is a conservation safari that is designed to support endangered species. This organization’s mission is to “advance conservation through science, education and personal experience.” At this scholars event I learned about how the Wilds rebuilds certain species by breeding and taking their DNA to send to an international data base for the rest of the scientific world to study.
