Time transcripts of Trudy_112111

[00:00:00:01]	Ok, umm... My name is Trudy Wu.

[00:00:04:02]	I am a sophomore at Ohio State. Um, my major is

[00:00:08:03]	biology. Um, so I...my

[00:00:12:04]	earliest memories of learning how to read were, um..

[00:00:16:06]	First of all, I learned the alphabet in like preschool or whatever. And then,

[00:00:20:08]	they started off by teaching us, like you know, like,

[00:00:24:10]	really, like simple words like cat and dog, and then slowly you start like

[00:00:28:12]	assigning like levels and you would read like little picture books.

[00:00:32:13]	Um, so that's how I learned to read. 

[00:00:36:15]	Um, ok. How that applies to

[00:00:40:16]	what I'm doing right now as a biology major is

[00:00:44:18]	that um, well I

[00:00:48:20]	think reading is a very vital skill that is helpful in everything and

[00:00:52:21]	I have to read like textbooks a lot to

[00:00:56:22]	kind of comprehend the material that we go over in lecture. And then,

[00:01:00:23]	um, writing comes into play when we

[00:01:04:25]	a lot of times, you have to like write lab reports. So, we have

[00:01:08:26]	to like um, but that writing is kind of a more scientific kind of writing.

[00:01:12:28]	than like creative writing, which I enjoy also.

[00:01:16:29]	But that's always more like always like third person very um

[00:01:21:02]	formal in lab reports and such. But other

[00:01:25:03]	than reading textbooks and writing lab reports

[00:01:29:04]	I guess we like, in, in like a couple years, we're gonna be

[00:01:33:06]	...we're gonna be have to writing research papers. So...

[00:01:37:07]	[Interviewer: How does that make you feel? Is that like a nervous

[00:01:41:09]	type of...?] Research papers? [Interviewer: Yes.] Um,

[00:01:45:12]	not really, I mean I guess the hardest part about doing research papers is conducting

[00:01:49:14]	the research first and then um figuring out the best way 

[00:01:53:15]	to uh explain that onto paper

[00:01:57:16]	to readers to understand what you did and...

[00:02:01:17]	Um, kind of simplify it, in um, more

[00:02:05:20]	simple terms so everyone can understand what you're doing besides making

[00:02:09:22]	it like really verbiose and stuff. But, um...

[00:02:13:23]	How has being in the sorority affected my

[00:02:17:24]	major? It's definitely been a struggle

[00:02:21:26]	because a lot of majors don't require a lot, I mean

[00:02:25:27]	different majors require like different amounts of studying and time dedication

[00:02:29:29]	So, it's been difficult

[00:02:34:02]	to mircomanage everything, but, um being

[00:02:38:02]	a Kappa has defineitely, um, inspired me

[00:02:42:03]	to try harder. And... I've met a lot 

[00:02:46:04]	of great girls who do share the same aspirations that I do and want

[00:02:50:05]	to have the same future as I do. So, it's been, um, encouraging

[00:02:54:07]	to have friends along the way in this experience.

[00:02:58:09]	[Interviewer: Ok. Thank you.]
