With the knowledge that education is essential to a happy and successful adult life, I am pursuing a degree in Business at the University of Northern Iowa. I am interested in this vocation because of all the possibilities within the degree. I’ve always been interested in owning my own business; one possibility is real estate. My family has moved multiple times and these experiences have peaked my interest in real estate and design. My teachers tell me they wish everyone worked as hard as I

I have learned that nursing is not something you choose once, but something you choose every day. Nursing is a multidimensional career with great opportunities and rewards but is also coupled with difficult intellectual, physical and emotional challenges. My journey to get into and through nursing school has been a fight every step of the way, but there have also been many experiences that have confirmed to me that this is what I was born to do. With every obstacle and challenge that threatened to

This philosophy matches my research area of interest on the effects of individual differences in the work environment.

At first I was considering Iowa City because I had heard that they had an amazing theater program and that their department was very nice. But once I visited UNI I
Trigger warning: clowns have been spotted around the University of Northern Iowa. Recently, students on campus have been frightened by people dressed in clown costumes. The students have experienced and shared these encounters with one another, but no one has heard of the clown’s perspective until Shelby Welsch wrote the article “A Conversation with a Clown” for the UNI newspaper. Even though the clowns on this campus have not harmed anyone, it is still an issue that needs to be addressed.

Because of this, it was a huge surprise when the Iowa Supreme Court denied the defendant, Cedar Rapids Community School District’s motion for summary judgement. This was a case where a student sued for negligent misrepresentation by a school guidance counselor. One reason why the court may have denied
A quote by Marva Collins states, “success does not come to you, you go to it.” This is exactly how I look at my success. My definition of success is being happy and doing what you love. The only way I can achieve this goal is by receiving an education, saving money, and picking a career path that I will enjoy. I work hard in school to be prepared for when I go off to college, which will eventually lead me to a career. Another plan of mine is to save as much money as I can before college and apply

The transition from high school to college is supposed to be freeing and exciting for students, yet general education requirements make it the opposite. Jaime Wandschneider, writer for Iowa State Daily, says, “From the start of our first semester, general education classes fill the credit count towards our graduation. These courses are supposed to turn young, fresh college students into well-rounded adults”. General education classes
Stigmas and stereotypes plague modern day society. Stigmas regarding race, gender, and religion are publically fought over and receive a great deal of attention; however, stereotypes concerning old age are frequently overlooked; perceived to be just a part of our normal society. Old age is an accomplishment and an individual should be proud and ought to celebrate his or her milestones. Birthday cards often undermine the value of old age, and make-up companies, magazines, and both mainstream and social

In 1958, Eugene Parker (Chicago) proposes the theory of the solar wind. 1981, High resolution images are obtained by Lou Frank's group in Iowa of the entire auroral zone, using the Dynamics Explorer satellite. (Stern & Peredo, 2005) This is the major timeline of how auroras came to be discovered and understood. Now that the history is covered, I can get down to the nitty gritty of how they
