Project Sunshine

This year I joined the student organization Project Sunshine. We are a chapter of an internal organization. The purpose of Project Sunshine is to go to children’s hospitals and bring joy to the children there. We do activities with the children and try to give them a break from the medical treatments they may be going through. Ohio State’s chapter regularly visited the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus. We did a lot of fun things with the kids there, such as making slime, painting, and making volcanoes. We also created craft kits and made cards that were sent to various hospitals throughout the country.

Being a member of this club has been one of the best experiences of my life. I love seeing the children and being able to make them happy. The kids and their families are going through a tough time and they need all the love and support they can get. It is so fun to just play with the kids and let them be themselves. I look forward to every direct service we do and I look forward to being in this club for the rest of my college career. I was elected to be the Treasurer of Ohio State’s chapter and I am excited to bring everything I have to Project Sunshine.

Academic Enrichment

To me, academic enrichment is about filling my desire for knowledge. After completing one year of college, I can say that I have been challenged at Ohio State. I learned a lot about the sciences and math. I was pushed to learn new ways of studying and new ways of looking at ideas. Not only was I learning in class and in the lab, I learned by being with roommates who had different majors than me. For instance, one of my roommates taught me a lot about animals because she is an Animal Science major. I was also able to learn about different majors and what they do by talking to different people that I worked with and went to class with. I hope to learn more about my own major and also learn more from the people around me.

Original Inquiry

Original Inquiry to me is about finding answers for myself. I was able to begin doing this in my chemistry and biology labs this year. For certain chemistry labs, I was required to create my own experiment. This challenged me to use the knowledge I had to answer a question. For example, I had to design an experiment to determine the identities of two unknown solutions, and then I had to figure out whether they were endothermic or exothermic. I was able to do this using my knowledge of Le Chatelier’s Principle. I hope to do more original inquiry in the future at Ohio State by doing research.

My Career Plans 2019

I have just finished my first year of college. As of now, I plan to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a Minor in General Psychology on a Pre-Med track. I also wish to had another minor, but I am still in the process of choosing one. I plan on attending medical school and becoming a Neurologist. I would like to work in Ohio so I came remain close to my family.

Global Awareness

Global Awareness to me means being aware that there are many different cultures all around the world. I come from a smaller home town, so coming to Ohio State has broadened my view of the world. One way I was able to learn about different cultures was by going to the Market Night, which featured a variety of the Asian student organizations. I was able to try many different foods, including Korean BQ and Japanese sandwiches. I also watched performances by many of the organizations, including singing and dancing. I went with my friend Christine, who is Malaysian. She explained her own culture and some of the other cultures there. I had a great time and I feel like I grew in my understanding of the world. It was a good experience and I would love to be able to do it again.
