I am technically a Junior now at OSU, still majoring in Agribusiness: Pre-Law with minors in Real Estate Appraisal and Environmental Economics, Politics & Policy. I have started studying quite rigorously for the LSAT (Law school admissions exam). I am going to be taking that exam in September and I will hopefully be applying to law school in October. This online class for the next few weeks is going to help me put more time into studying for the LSAT. I also work 3 jobs: I recently passed my insurance licensing exam and work for an Independent agent here in Stillwater. I also work at TS Fork, a fancy little restaurant in town. And then I occasionally work at Ellis & Ellis, which is an Estate Planning/Tax law firm here in town. This summer I had plans to study abroad in China and visit China Agricultural University (possibly studying abroad all semester), well obviously that got cancelled early on. So, I decided to study in Israel on a trip geared towards the advancements in Israeli irrigation techniques in the ag sector. Well, yet again, that got cancelled. So, this summer I plan on staying here in Stillwater and just taking summer courses while I work. On campus I am still active as well. I am currently serving as a Student Success Leader for the College of Agriculture. Next year, I will be serving as a Chinese student mentor to students who come to OSU and study from CAU in China. I am excited about that! It is hard to believe that I am just one year away from graduation! College has really flown by so quickly, but I am excited for the next chapter in my life!
