Hello everyone, my name is Calvin…
I am a fourth-year student studying Biology and minoring in Substance Misuse and Addiction. This is my first experience taking a botany course at OSU, and I’m really excited to learn more about the plants that are all around us! I have come to appreciate the outdoors through years of running cross country in high school and occasional hikes as a nice place to clear my head, and I’m eager to learn more about the plant ecosystem and characteristics that make the outdoors so beautiful.
My coat of arms depicts a flower, as I have always been a fan of floral patterned things and thought it was appropriate for a botany class! I grew up in Westerville, which is not too far from Columbus. My quote is one that I heard from a close family friend as I was leaving for college, and I have always appreciated it as a reminder to be passionate about what I do. Below I have included pictures from a recent trip to Gatlinburg, TN to a park named Rainbow Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains, which was beautiful. I also included a photo of my cat Luda.
