Hoosiers

History of Famous Hoosiers There are many famous Hoosiers in Indiana. One of my favorite famous Hoosier would have to be Florence Henderson. The reason I choose Florence out of the other 50 was that she played in the Brady Bunch and that was my favorite TV show. I would say that Florence Henderson’s greatest accomplishment would be starting in the Brady Bunch or possible making her greatest hits. Florence Henderson played Carol Brady the mother in Brady Bunch. Florence Henderson embodies the…

inspiration for our state song, yet in recent years two species of invasive Asian carp have infested portions of it. These voracious non-native fish consume nutrients in the water, disrupting the food chain and threatening the native fish enjoyed by Hoosier anglers and sportsmen. At the sound of outboard motors, groups of Asian carp will jump out of the water and can injure boaters. The invasion of Asian carp into U.S. waterways and the risk they pose to the Great Lakes sport fishing industry…

permanent position. So my new ‘home’ town is now Indianapolis. I decided to embrace this with this essay, so I began to look for a site-specific public sculptor that has meaning to Hoosiers, even adopted ones. It took me all of 10 minutes and a couple of friends, to discover the answer. The Sculptor that is meaningful to Hoosiers is the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monument, or the more widely used nickname, Monument Circle. This…

Since my decision that Indiana would join the multi-state legal challenge to the new federal health care law, many Hoosiers have called or e-mailed my office with questions. Let me now explain why Indiana had to join the challenge.

One unique, true thing about me is that I own 5 Newfoundlands. I’ve owned a total of 5 in my lifetime. A lot can be learned from owning Newfoundlands. One of them we own now, Hoosier, is the size of a horse! On 2 legs, he would be about 6 feet tall. He’s a Landseer, meaning he’s black and white. We have bred three litters with our dog Saydee. The puppies are not that commonly bred around here, so people from Iowa, Indiana, and even a family from California have come to buy them! They were bred…

being consumed by the game results. Coach Dale tells his team “If you put your effort into playing to your potential, to being the best you can be, I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we’re going to be winners” (Hoosiers, 1986). This is a great example of effective leadership. Coach Dale has a vision and uses his strategic thinking to clarify to the team what is possible. One of the main setbacks a potential leader may face is clarifying what others can…

about sports will grab my attention to the fullest. I have always been a sports fanatic and like war films, the history goes hand and hand. In 2002 I jumped at the opportunity to go to the location Field of Dreams was produced. Rudy, The Natural, Hoosiers, Bull Durham, Ali, The Hurricane, and any of the Rocky films are just scratching the surface of films that make an everlasting impact on our society. Observation and Reflection The first day of class I could tell my guidance counselor had…

the last three years, posting an above .500 record and appearing in a bowl each season. The Blue Devils have reach four consecutive bowl games and prior to Duke’s bowl appearance in 2012, the last time the program had went bowling was 1994. The Hoosiers got off to a hot start this season, winning their first four four games over lackluster competition. Indiana, however, struggled when conference play began by losing their first six Big Ten games. Indiana, however, was competitive in Big Ten…

A life at IU Bloomington will consist of long and arduous nights of studying and learning. Luckily, I happen to be someone who finds pleasure in a busy lifestyle. At IU Bloomington, I plan on studying within the College of Arts and Sciences in the two academic subjects that entertain and challenge me the most: chemistry and politics. Once bored out of my mind in a simplistic and dull regular chemistry course, I now find myself in the midst of AP Chemistry. Originally petrified by taking on Lake…
