G.O.A.LS.

There are many ways I hope to satisfy my “G.O.A.L.S.” while I am here at THE Ohio State University. I plan to cultivate and develop my appreciation for diversity and global awareness by taking several Economics electives that go beyond the scope of traditional American economics. I am lucky that Ohio State has a widely accredited and well-established Economics department in the College of Arts and Sciences. The department offers a plethora of electives that really bolster one’s understanding of Economics and the markets. There are many options that interest me, including but not limited to: Economic History 5130: Econ History of Western Europe, Economic History 4130: World Econ Development History, Money & banking 5250: National & International Money Markets, and International Economics 4537: Middle Eastern Econ Development. By studying the economics of countries other than my own, I am better able to understand their lifestyle and the issues their countries may or may not face. I will contribute to original inquiry by completing independent research I plan on doing in conjunction with faculty regarding the Korean Peninsula, an area of which I am very passionate about. This is not something that I have concretely planned yet, but rather it is an idea of which I hope to build upon over my time at this university. I have been working on independent research with this topic since my sophomore year of high school and I do not plan on ever stopping. I will satisfy both my leadership development and service engagement goals through my Eminence service project. In this project, the other twenty-three fellows and I hope to create a non-profit company, charity, or foundation that will work to better our world at the local or global level. It is our hope that our project will withstand the test of time and continue to last after we graduate to continue helping the world. Most of my goals are satisfied in my curriculum. I purposefully have chosen a major, minor, and research topics that are all very meaningful to me. In addition, my scholarship helps to connect me with other students who value academics in the same way as I do. While I do hope and think that I will satisfy all of my goals during my time as an undergrad at Ohio State, I also plan on attending law school after graduation. I have a passion for justice that fuels my goals and the way that I live my life.
