Artifacts

This artifact is a picture of me in Washington D.C. by the Washington Monument, I have visited it many times due to my proximity to the area, but every visit is memorable. I enjoy learning about the history of America and this monument is a big part of that history. History interests me because I get to learn about the foundations of what created the world and how we got to where we are as a society. Without knowing the past, there would be no guiding tool for the future.

About Me

Hi, 

I’m Zach Reeder and I am a freshman at The Ohio State University, I was born in Haymarket, Virginia. Growing up, I invested a lot of time with people I value, such as my family and friends, and I hope to do the same thing throughout the rest of my life. In college I hope to achieve the highest academic grade point average and become involved in numerous clubs. Making a difference on campus and in the world is also a big goal for me. As a freshman in the Fisher College of Business, opportunities are at my disposal and I will use all of those opportunities to make a difference during the next four years and beyond. I have chosen a path of business due to my father’s career in business and hope to graduate with a specialization in finance. Finance is an area of interest and passion because it is a way to help people manage their money and life. With a great knowledge in finance, it is possible for early retirement and allows for more financial freedom in life. A job as a financial analyst is the field of interest for me at any financial firm or sports organization. As a part of the Columbus community I hope to help the children of the community grow up to be well rounded adults. Volunteering with children at local schools is an interest of mine because they are the future of this city and country. I feel like a part of the sports community at Ohio State and Columbus is a great city to help me thrive in that community. Sports are a big part of my life and help people come together, it is an area that I would love to have a finance job in and I hope to explore those options. I am looking forward to everything Ohio State has to offer these next four years.
