Artifacts
This plaque that I received during my senior year of high school is from the Western Hills Community Service Club. It came with a $1,000 award stating that I was their “Student of the Month” based on academic merit and community involvement. For this first post, I thought this tangible representation of past accomplishments would be worthwhile to reflect on.
This award was important to me because for the first time I realized I didn’t have to just come up with ideas for how to win a particular scholarship, but rather, I could just let my experiences speak for themselves. All of the work I put into the Why Not? Service Group that I led in high school was a journey and reward in itself, but this plaque reminds me about how when I put my mind to something that I want, I do what it takes to get it. I learned that having a clear goal in mind and a will to complete that goal transcends any possible competition I might have, because in the end, the journey towards getting there is lays the foundation for who I’ll be in the future.
About Me
Hi! I’m Aidan Corey, and I am a first-year student in the Fisher College of Business. I am planning on double majoring in either finance and marketing or finance and economics. I’m excited to be a part of the Business Scholars Program here at Ohio State, and I’m looking forward to connecting with everyone involved.
I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and went to Elder High School the past four years. While there, I played basketball and football and established a service group that has now been passed down to Elder’s Class of 2021. Elder was a competitiv
e academic environment, but everyone was there to support each other. When I visited and looked into Ohio State, I felt the same way, which made my college choice that much easier. Ohio State has been everything I could ask for in a college up to this point: from the social realm, to the advancement of my education, and even to the allowance of football again!! It’s been a blast, and I’m excited to see what the foundation OSU is laying down for me–and better yet, that I’m laying for myself–is going to do for me in
the future. I don’t particularly find many subjects boring so highlighting my academic interests is ironically a task sometimes, but I would say psychology, calculus, and any business-related fields have definitely been challenging yet rewarding for me. Calculus BC was rigorous at times during my senior year of high school, but I’ve definitely noticed certain problem-solving skills that I’ve honed since then.
I feel like my long-term goals are more clear to me than my short-term goals. Obviously, I have academic goals like earning straight A’s and earning internships throughout college, but I’m unsure what I want to do right out of college, career-wise. In the long-run, I want to work with a professional sports team. Preferably with an NFL or NBA organization, I aspire to thrive in any highly significant business position with the team, whether that be as the manager of team personnel, chief financial officer, or marketing director.
