Hello my name is Alexis I am a first year student at The Ohio University and I am a member of the track team as well.

One of my top 5 strengths in the strengths finder exercise was achiever. To be an achiever means to be someone that is always willing to getting things done in a timely manner and getting them done well. It also means that I like to learn new things. I like to face new challenges. I think that I scored high in this area because I like to compete. I think that this relates to me being in sport. I like to learn new thing so I can keep getting better as well. Most times you can find me putting in extra time into things to perfect them even if it’s something that isn’t really that big of a deal. This can have a good impact on many different parts of my life. For example this is a good thing you have when it comes to sports and school. This is was drives me to be the best and to keep getting better. This trait cold also have a bad impact on other things in my life as well. If you becomes too obsessed with the thoughts of achieving it come effect your social life and could get in the way of some relationships. Learning how to balance this trait is very import because it could take over your live.

In my letter to myself I wrote about what I thought college was going to be like. I talked about how it was going to be different compared to high school and what I would have to do to adapt to all of the new changes. For this assignment it made me think about what I need to do to get ready for all of the new changes that I was about to good through. I learned how to manage my time and be productive with the extra time that I had to get ahead on stuff. This letter is something that I will look back on and remember how it papered me for the college life.

When I heard we were going to have to sign up for the First Year Success Series, I thought it was going to be dumb. What I came to realize is that you can learn a lot about the university as a whole for these meetings. I also learned where I can go if I need help or where I can go to get involved. This was a great way of showing new student what the university has to offer here at Ohio State.
