Artifact 3

This past February I had the chance to participate in my very first BuckeyeThon, here at Ohio State. After a few months of fundraising this event was well worth the wait. The chance to spend a total of twelve hours on my feet, for the kids, was a memorable and uplifting experience. Although the night was tiring, it was easy to get through as I had my fellow Mount Scholars beside me. The event itself was a lot more than I expected, in more ways than one. The amount of hard work that went into organizing the event was incredible and I am so grateful to have peers who willingly dedicated hours to the planning of it. As I left the event the following morning, I couldn’t stop thinking about how grateful I was to have a community around me who is willing to step up to raise awareness and money for such an important cause. All the kids smiling faces as they ran down the middle of the Ohio Union at the start of the event is something I carry with me everyday, as I continue my journey here at Ohio State. And I hope that my peers have the same opportunity to experience such a great event during their time here at Ohio State, if they haven’t already.
