G.O.A.L.S.

 

Ever since I came to college, I have been exposed to diversity which is something I was not exposed to in my childhood. This year, I have participated in Korean Literature which has opened my eyes to a country in which I knew nothing about or really even thought about. I learned about the history of the country as well as what the culture was like in the past and in modern times. As I continue on my path here at Ohio State, I plan on taking other course that allow me to experience other cultures. I have actually consider learning Mandarin, which would be very useful for a career in finance since many businesses do work in China. I am also looking at an international internship in either Hong Kong or Singapore which will not only give me business experience but also allow me to experience a whole new way of life that I am not familiar too.

Next year I am also looking at enhancing my academics as well as my career by participating in the Fisher Consulting Industry Cluster Program where I will learn the key concepts and ways of thinking when taking on consulting projects. I will also, through this program, be able to work with different companies who do work all around the United States and develop, with the help from a team, a plan that these companies could use in their day-to-day activities. This is a program that only 250 students out of all the students at Ohio State were accepted into which I feel is a big accomplishment. Through program, I not only going to help me in my academic career but also my financial career. This will also help my leadership skills because, in this program, everyone gets their own project that they are in charge of. We will have to develop a plan and manage a team to get the project done.

Also I plan to continue my work with community service. I have done work with blood drives, Habitat for Humanity, nursing homes, animal shelters, and food banks. This work has really given me the perspective that we are all one community and we need to help one another. If we help another, then maybe more people will be able to help others and we can make the world even better. This not helped the community, though. It has also helped me become a better person. These are a few of the main reasons why I will continue this service.
