Year in Review

Reflecting on my first full year here at Ohio State I am amazed by how quickly the semesters have gone. At the beginning of each semester I was always worried. Worried about how a certain class would go or if I would ever be able to keep up with the course load. Looking back on both semesters I am lucky enough to say that I not only survived them both, but also, in my eyes, succeeded. Neither were perfect, as both semesters presented obstacles and weekly struggles that I faced, but I always managed to get through them. As I prepare to return home for the summer I am thankful for how much my first year has taught me. Along with the knowledge gained in topics I care about I am also able to walk away, for the summer, with the confidence in myself to return in the fall for another year. This confidence comes from the struggles and obstacles I overcame this year, that showed me just how hard college can be at times. I have learned that here at Ohio State I have the resources and support to overcome my obstacles, while taking in the knowledge I need to better myself every day.

Looking forward to next year, I hope to get even more involved with the community at Ohio State in order to have a positive impact on those who have helped me to be successful so far throughout my time here on campus.
