Chris’ G.O.A.L.S
Global Awareness: Although I have only been in three countries,-the U.S., Canada, and Mexico- I understand that no country is alike, and understanding the differences and similarities can better the global community. With understanding of different cultures stereotypes and conflicts can be avioded or resolved. That is why I plan on traveling to different countries when the opportunity comes and is econmically viable. In addition I believe helping those less fortunate is ideal, so I hope to give some time to help out with the international communtiy.
Original Inquiry: Other than my inquiry labs, and the trebuchet that my classmates and I built outside of school not many options were available in my interests. I plan to get involved with a research that is both usefull to my field and is environmentally friendly.
Academic Enrichment: I have attended some seminars held by scientists, inventors, and sucessfull businessman outside of the classroom for extra credit in my AP courses, enrichment of ideas put forth in said courses, and exemplify the results of putting the concepts into action. I plan to go beyond what is necessary, and learn a broad scope of ideas besides the core, in order to become a well rounded scholar.
Leadership Development: While attending High School I held the position as treasurer of the Junior Statesman of America’s local chapter. While attending OSU I plan to get involved and even become a leader in a few of the many clubs.
Service Engagement: Since, being inducted into NHS I have continually set aside part of my time every week to help the community. When I am available on the first Saturday of each month, for the last two years, I have helped out with a local church and carried or gathered food items for the needy. In addition I lent a hand to my elderly neighbor and mowed her lawn twice a week till she moved away. I’m planning to give some time every week to bettering the Columbus area as well as the Campus area by getting involved with the local church and many other organizations I have heard about.
