#MakeADifferenceMonday
Tune in every Monday for #MakeADifferenceMonday where we will feature a stakeholder, student, or fellow alumni answering "Five questions for B-C-S"
This week B-C-S is featuring, B-C-S alumni from the Class of 2016, Serena Brough!
1. Please introduce yourself. Please also state when you graduated.
- My name is Serena Brough, and I am a 2016 Oak Harbor High School graduate. I currently live in Columbus, OH, where I am a student and work in a research lab investigating skin cancer.
2. Can you please tell us about your summer work experience with B-C-S Local School District this past summer?
- This previous summer (2018) and the one before it (2017), I worked full-time as a part of the Oak Harbor Middle School Summer Crew. It was a great summer job for me because it took place from June-August, and I even got off a few weeks to myself before I had to be back at college. I heard about the opportunity from my mother, Terri Brough, who is a custodian at the middle school and decided to take advantage of it. She and the head custodian, Jimmie Bryant, created a welcoming and positive work environment that I enjoyed being a part of both summers. It was a great experience overall and taught me skills I would not have otherwise.
3. What college do you attend and what is your major?
- I am in my third year at The Ohio State University. I am majoring in biology, with two minors: one in general psychology and one in bioethics. Currently, I am on a pre-medicine track.
4. What is your dream job someday?
- My dream job is to someday be a doctor. The opportunities I have received at OSU have developed my interest in medicine and the implications it has on people and society as a whole. I have been active in the medical field the past few years, and I find it very rewarding to be able to help people while both using my knowledge and doing something I enjoy.
5. Please tell us what Rocket Pride means to you as an alumnus to B-C-S Local School District?
- To me, Rocket Pride means being the best version of yourself that you can be. Going from an extremely small school to a university as big and diverse as OSU is, I have realized that not everyone gets the same type of opportunities as those provided at B-C-S. Being able to grasp these opportunities and utilize them allows you to achieve things you would not have otherwise. One experience that stands out to me is Mrs. Karr’s chemistry classes. I took both in high school, and I remember constantly hearing their reputation of being difficult. Taking them, however, put me so far ahead of my classmates when I had to take general chemistry my first semester at OSU and made the transition from high school to college so much easier. Experiences like this have personally allowed me to grow as an individual and be as successful as I have been at college. B-C-S has these advantages, and if you’re able to take hold of them and learn from them, you can learn how to grow and become successful.
BUCKEYETHON!
