About Me

Hi!
My name is Sara Wiltse and I am from Byron, Illinois, a small town about 2.5 hours outside of Chicago. In high school, I was extremely involved. Whether it be with academic clubs or varsity sports, I always love to be doing something. I was involved in Student Council as an officer for three years, Key Club and Spanish Club treasurer for 4 years, girls soccer captain, an active member of my churches youth group and an active volunteer within the community. However, despite being constantly busy with clubs and sports, my grades and school work always have been my number one priority. I have been a straight-A student since freshman year, and am extremely motivated to succeed. Although I have many accomplishments both academic and sports-related, I am most proud of being admitted to The Ohio State University. Ohio State has been my dream school since I was in the seventh grade, and I have never felt a more pure happiness than I did on November 21, 2016 when I found out I was admitted. I’ve known I belonged here for as long as I can remember and I am so excited for the next four years! I am a member of Ohio States’ Politics, Society and Law Scholars program and am especially excited because my hope for my future is to become a Sports Lawyer and I believe this program will mold me into what it takes to be successful on the next level. Through my strong visual learning skills and high motivation, I hope to have a 4.0 at the end of my freshman year. This is just the beginning of my journey here at Ohio State and I cannot wait to see how the future unfolds for me! Go Bucks!
