Leadership

The second session I went to was the one about the leadership minor. Although this was one of the shorter ones I still was able to learn some very useful information from it. For example I learned the steps to getting a leadership minor are very straight forward and generally easy. All you need to do is take two extra classes as well as right about how you show leadership is used in your other classes and that is basically all the requirements. But even though it may seem easy its real life application is extremely useful, especially when using it to get a job. employers in all areas see a leadership minor as an " important" determinate in their selection of who to hire. this is why the leadership seminar was useful to me.

Study Abroad

At the first session I went to they talked about our travel abroad program here at Wartburg. The program is very impressive with over twenty different destinations to travel to. I learned a couple different things that I had no idea about the program. First I learned that you don't have to speak a foreign language to travel abroad, it is just an added bonus. Next I learned that every place you travel you can still have classes that go along with your major. Lastly I didn't know that there is an office on campus that has the sole purpose of dealing with questions about the program and even helping set up a trip.

Wartburg soccer

Mens soccer Won against central yesterday making their overall record 10-2-2 and moving into the game this afternoon we will be 4-0 in conference play. So you could say we are doing alright? Go Wartburg soccer and GO KNIGHTS!!!

Wartburg

Wartburg is a lutheran college who is tolerant of all religions. Not only lutherans can come to Wartburg but all other religions and the great thing about here is they can express it. The students don't have to walk around in fear of their beliefs we are allowed to share and express them with other people. Wartburg is a tolerant and open to ideals community which I think is awesome.

Go Knights!!!

Bullying

I recently went to Mike Dilbecks presentation on Bullying. this was a well put together speech however it was all information that I had been receiving since the fifth grade, I didn't get anything new out of it. I respect what he is doing and hope that his presentation continues to help stop bullying at schools but I unfortunately didn't  get much of anything out of his presentation that I didn't already know.

Jurassic Park has many different examples of science in it, the question is whether or not the science is actually real. In my group we chose the topic evolution and we found that Michael Crichton was actually very accurate with what he shows in the movie and books about there evolution. when looking at a dinosaur such as the Velociraptor you can very plainly see it is clearly an ancestor of modern day birds given its talons and also its hollow bones. He also talks about the dinosaurs being able to in certain single sex environments change sex because of the dna infused with african frog. This is also plausible because the african horned frog has the ability to change its sex in a single sex environment.
