I am currently a freshman at Ohio State and am majoring in Exercise Science.

My top strength is positivity. I enjoy to be happy and make the best out of outcomes even if they aren't so well is important. I enjoy being lighthearted and see people happy because then it makes me feel happy. Happiness and positivity is important for a healthy lifestyle and I believe that being happy is better that looking a the negative side of things. This strength helps me academically because even if I do poorly in school I am still positive and push myself to work harder.

An activity completed in class would be the Dream Job assignment. The purpose of this assignment was to research our dream job in the location of our choice. I chose being a Physical Therapist working at a hospital in Pittsburgh. I learned that there are many job opportunities in the world an it is just a matter of choosing the one that I feel is going to be the best for me. This assignment will help me in the future because I now know the resources I can use to research jobs and determine which one I feel is the best fit for me.

Another assignment I felt to be most resourceful and interesting was the curriculum plan assignment. The purpose was to research different classes and make a mock schedule for the next four semesters of our college career. I learned how it can be difficult trying to chose different classes and deciding on what I want to take in the upcoming semesters. I learned how to search classes on Buckeyelink and make different types of schedules. This assignment will help me in the future because it will help prepare me to schedule my own classes on my own.
