I'm now an OSU alumni and no longer a student! Now just a summer to kill before my journey as a Peace Corps volunteer starts.
It's hard to believe that 4 years ago I cried signing my letter accepting Ohio State's admission, committing me as a student at this University. I wanted so badly to leave the state and study somewhere new... but my parents knew best. I've graduated debt-free and with a great education.
I've been wondering where I'd be now if I'd attended a different school... would I have traveled to Ireland, Chile, and Brazil? Would I be an agriculture major? Would I have had the opportunity to spend my summers in on an island in Lake Erie banding birds or in the barns with cows and sheep? Would I have run two marathons? Would I be able to work in gardens learning about alternative growing methods? I can't imagine experiencing all this somewhere else. I'm so happy with the path life is on right now. Despite a rough start, fighting my parents all the way, I'm glad I spent four amazing years at Ohio State.
Thank you to all the friends and family who got me to where I am. You know who you are:)
Though age may dim our memory's store
We'll think of happy days of yore
True to friend and frank to foe
As sturdy sons of Ohio
If on seas of care we roll
'Neath blackened sky or barren shoal
Thoughts of Thee bid darkness go
Dear Alma Matter... Ohio!
