Blog #3 faculty

Well you see there are so many faculty members a person can chose from its not even funny. The best thing to do is pick acouple faculty members that are your teachers and easy to get along and talk to. The last thing is to make sure to pick a faculty member that can really help you with the ocupation you are seeking.
Now for me I only have to faculty member that I prefer. One is Dr. Hoffman he is my advisor and he is a really nice man and is helping me alot with my schedule and future goals of being a veterinarian.The second one is my english teacher Mrs. Mary Liebich I talk to her all the time after class and I like to think that she is really getting to know me pretty well.
They both have helped me so much through my freshmen year at ISU. Its kinda scary acutally Im not even through the first half of the year yet and i have gotten so much help from I both of them. I cant even imagine how much more they can help me in the years to come.
So all in all make sure you have some type of faculty member that is gonna be there and always willing to help you out. But for me I feel really blessed to have found the two faculty members that I did and I hope to find more that will be willing to help me out with my future goals. Then when it comes time for letters of recommadtions I know who ill go to.

Blog#2 club

When I attended clubfest I really didnt find alot of things that interested me. I looked into two clubs but they just werent my kinda thing. So instead I decided to do some intermural sports. I chose to do flag football, volleyball, and broomball with all of my friends from my floor. Its gonna be alot of fun

Now the sport I am gonna mainly talk about is flag football because i am a football nut. For those of you who dont know how to play flag football I will try to explain it to you. Ok you start off with two teams each team has there own set of different colored flags. Then basically after that you play a regular football game except you cant tackle anybody you have to take there flag off inorder to stop them. Also another thing is you have 2 ten minutes quarter to play and you have two chances to get a first down.

The reason I joined all of these intermural was so I could have some fun, and do what I love the most which is play sports. I also did this so I could make new friends and socialize alittle bit more. So all in all it will be a good thing for me. So I think everybody should get out there and join an intermural team it is definetly worth your time.

So in my opinion flag football is definetly one of the best intermural sports out there. The best part about it is you can just go out there and mess around and have fun. Plus I always like the adrenline rush of just running around.

The best time of my life

One of the biggest things I wanted to when I was in high school was become a captain of the football team. The reason I wanted to be the captain football team was because in our school the only two main sports we had was football and basketball. we weren't really good in any other sports besides those two.
So I made that a goal for myself ever since I was a freshman in high school. But I new that you couldn't be a captain tell you were either a junior or senior. So for my first two years of high school I tried my hardest to keep up good grades to play, and weight lifted each and everyday so I could get bigger and faster so people would start noticing me more as a leader not a follower.
But anyways my first third year came around and I knew that I had a chance to be a captain. so the day of voting came along I was so pumped, then that afternoon rolled around and captains were to be announced. But when they announced the names I wasn't on there, I was so mad I thought I had deserved a spot as captain all that handwork in vein. But eventually I just realized I had another whole year left. so for another summer I worked my butt off. When my senior year rolled around I finally got to be the captain of the football team. It was the most amazing feeling in the world.
But yet then I realized I had a lot of responsibility on my shoulders, I had to be a leader and someone to look up to for the younger kids. But that still was the best moment of my life getting to be the captain of the Wayne Falcon football team. How I felt at that time? It was really hard to remember all I really remember is being so happy, but then getting really nervous because I knew the whole team was ridding on my shoulders.
I guess those feeling I had for football kinda are really close to what i am feeling right now when I'm in college, because I am really happy that I am in college and I get to see and experience a bunch of new things that I have never done before, yet I am really nervous at the same time. The reason I'm so nervous is because I'm always worrying about my grades, and I'm worried that I wont get good enough grades to get in to vet school. So I would definetly have to say the time when I was at my best or felt at my best was when I got to be the captain of my football team.
