Let Me Show You

  Recruitment is finally here! Which means- after this week, I can breathe again! That fact itself is really keeping me going.

I’m talking about how Ohio Northern has played a pivotal role in curating me into a leader- which is still weird to me.  Over my past three years I’ve set different goals for myself. Freshman year, it was to make ONU home. I did that by joining a sorority, figurin...
