1) My Top 5 Strengths from StrenghtsQuest is relator, positivity, achiever, competition, and developer. My number 1 strength is competition and that is something I agree with completely. Competition to me is always comparing myself to someone and trying to out do and achieve more then them in every activity. I identify with this strength the most because I always find competition in something and I always try to out perform the person beside me. For my academic life, this strength is shown because I always try to get the best grade in the class and I always try to do my best. For personal and social life, I always try to add friendly competition in whatever I do to add to the fun of the activity.

2) An assignment that I thought was very interesting and something I enjoyed doing was the My Ohio State Tradition paper. With this assignment, I learned about all the traditions Ohio State has to offer and their value to the university. The tradition that I find the most memorable and enjoyable are Ohio State football games inside the Horseshoe. I learned that this event has been happening for over a 100 years and that this event helped build Ohio State to what it is today. This tradition is my favorite because I love the game of football. Ohio State football is a huge part of my life, as I cheer them on every fall season. I also love this tradition because every game inside the Horseshoe holds over 100,000 fans, something only a handful of universities can say. I realize every game what a blessing it is to be a part of this amazing tradition and I always find new excitement every game.

3) A group of assignments that I thought was hugely helpful was the Curriculum Plan activities. With these activities, I learned of the classes I needed to take to graduate and areas where I could take classes of enjoyment instead of need. This was helpful to me because I learned what I needed to do to graduate on time. Also, I got to plan out my possible curriculum for the next 2 years. This was helpful to me because I like to plan out my schedule and stick to my schedule. This gave me an idea of a possible route I can take to graduation and an idea of what classes I could take.
