Hello! My name is Maggie Eding and I am a first year student at The Ohio State University. I am from Sylvania, Ohio which is near Toledo. I come from a family of six that consists of all Harry Potter fanatics. With that said I am a proud aunt of my sister’s puppy, Luna, and my brother’s bird, Albus. Luna and Albus are named after Luna Lovegood and Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series.
I hope to find my passio
n in life through my study in the undecided program. I intend on receiving a bachelors degree and to pursue higher education. Although undecided, I am newly interested in anthropology and zoology.
I am a part of the Environment and Natural Resources Scholars
group at Ohio State. I figured I would enjoy the group because I love to camp and observe nature. Rain or shine, I love to be outdoors. I hope my participation in the ENR Scholars group will aid me in the process of declaring a major. Not only do I want to figure out my passion, I want to help the environment.
I actively participated in Marching Band, lacrosse, and many other clubs during high school. At Ohio State, I want to be a part of “Board to Death”, a club for playing board games, and “Lego Brick Club”, a club for building and curing stress. To help my community, I volunteered for multiple service opportunities through my high school; I completed over 200 hours o
f service. This includes my time spent gardening through my church’s “Feed My Sheep Gardening”. I got to help care for the church garden and deliver its vegetables to loc
al food kitchens. In Columbus, I intend to help the community through volunteerism.
College is going to be an experience that helps me find my place in the world and in academics. It will allow me to build upon my character and knowledge. I strongly believe in Walt Disney’s wise words of wisdom, “If you can dream it, you can do it”.
