Ohio State has taught me a lot this past year. Going into college I was very nervous to make new friends, especially since I have always been somewhat shy and reserved when meeting new people. But Ohio State helped me to change that. It taught me to drive right in and be myself and I learned I can be a pretty good leader even when I’m unfamiliar with the people around me. This skill will carry on with me for the rest of my life. I’m glad I was given the opportunity to realize this while at OSU and cannot wait to find out what else I will learn about myself during my time at this university.
