Essay - 71 Top Essay by Keith Richardson My success at OSU will ultimately be defined on my graduation day, surrounded by cheering families, proud faculty, and fellow students, each ready to enter the professional world. As I throw my hat into the air and begin to cheer, yell, laugh and cry, I will know I have been successful as a student. Before that moment happens, I need to be successful each and every day, not only academically, but in every aspect of the word success. This is reached by making the best of every opportunity OSU gives me. From the incredible lecturers from all over the world that frequent the campuses, to the professors that strive not only to teach and inspire; but also strive to see each student reach their full potential. The academic opportunities at OSU are limitless, so in turn the chances for academic success are also limitless. There are many types of success besides academics that can be found at OSU. A person could frequent one of the many cultural clubs that OSU encompasses, the ethnic and cultural diversity at OSU is truly one of a kind and can bring about an infinite amount of learning possibilities to not only grow as a person, but to start friendships and watch them grow. Another way to experience success is to be a part of the crowd at any of the Cowboy’s sporting events. The camaraderie and unity experienced between friends and even strangers during a Cowboy game is unparalleled by any other university. Ultimately OSU is synonymous with success, and each person that has ever had a part of the rich OSU history and tradition leaves the university knowing the many levels of success and takes this knowledge into the world to share as a Cowboy for life.
