<p>I’m trying to write my essay for Ohio State’s honors program:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The aforementioned G.O.A.L.S appear to be Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement.

<p>I’m completely lost as far as what kind of thing I’m supposed to be writing for this. </p>

<p>The only one I really relate to is Academic Enrichment, and I thought I could write about how I’ve gone out of my way to take math classes beyond Calculus BC in high school and how I’ve benefited from that and such, but I’m not sure if that would be answering the prompt or not.</p>

<p>Hi, I would just recommend you try not to overthink a question like this. It’s pretty lame and not creative in the sense that they really just want you to answer what they’re looking for. The math thing sounds great and totally gets to what they want. Community service could fulfill the ‘S’, traveling abroad could fulfill the ‘G’, any leadership positions you have could fulfill the ‘L’, etc. I’m sure you know that, and you might not have a lot of those things. Regardless I would try and tie in at least one more of the letters in addition to the academic one since they’re clearly looking for well-rounded people. Even if you don’t have any leadership positions you could still talk about how you “lead” or “inspire” your peers. Lame, I know, but it’s a lame question.</p>
