Hello! My name is Molly Wallace and I am currently a freshman at The Ohio State University. I’m from Loveland, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cincinnati, and I’m majoring in biochemistry on a pre-med track. I have always been interested in science In my free time, I love being outside, spending time with my friends, and going to concerts. I became interested in medicine in high school after having to shadow a doctor for my anatomy and physiology class.
Although I’m certain that I want to go into the medical field, I’m not sure what I want to specialize in yet. Next semester, I hope to volunteer at the Wexner Medical Center to gain exposure to different specialties.
In addition to science, I am also passionate about music. In high school, I was involved in show choir and theater, and I believe these two things helped shape me into the person I am today. I became involved in show choir in eighth grade, and it changed my life. I went from being the shy girl who was afraid to talk to anyone to being president of the group my senior year.
As a student here, I want to be as involved at possible. I have attended meetings for many different clubs, and I found a few that I’m really interested in. STEM Outreach is a service program that brings OSU students to local schools to teach children about STEM concepts through projects and experiments. It would allow me to work with kids while performing community service. I was also accepted into the First Year Leadership Initiative, and I look forward to becoming involved in that.
