My first childhood thought of a veterinarian was of a doctor for animals. I loved the thought of spending the day with animals and telling people I saved their pet. However, as I matured and learned more about what it takes to be a veterinarian, my mindset of it changed. It’s not just putting a Band-Aid on a kitten or delivering puppies. It’s one of the grittiest and challenging jobs that take a toll on the person performing it and even their family. A veterinarian has to perform many gory…

PERFORMANCE TASK: Narrative I’m sitting in my office in my pajamas as I get a phone call on my cell phone. I had just gotten a new one so the contact didn’t pop up. Who might this be?

Bailey passed out during class, we need you down here immediately!” The lady says sounding very freaked out. “I’ll be there as soon as possible!” I pulled my long black hair out of a bun while…

SAS Institute Inc. has consistently been ranked one of the best places to work over the years. From the short overview I have read about this company, I very much agree with how they have designed their management policies. There is often a desire to cut costs in order to increase profit, yet since SAS has cleverly focused on analytics, which is the most valuable and profitable area of their industry, they are eager to share the wealth they’ve earned with the people who work so hard to make it.…

I grew up in a small town called Haron, the population was about 1,500. It was a small town, nothing bad ever happened. Everyone was so friendly and kind to each other. There was only one high school so all my friends were practically living on the same block as me. Most of our hangout spots were at the café or the bowling alley, there wasn’t that much to do in Haron. I lived on a small farm just near widow creek. In my town, Widow Creek was forbidden by Mayor Judson, I’ve always wanted to know…

I recently read a memorable bit of data that emphasizes the importance of working in a career that provides purpose and satisfaction; between the ages of 20 and 65, an average individual, working a forty-hour work week with two weeks vacation per year, will devote over 90,000 hours to their profession. My decision to apply to the Master of Arts program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology is a result of my personal mission to find a career path that engages my interests, employs my skills…

In 1968, the Marching Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina (UNC) released a 7-inch 33 ½ rpm record consisting of eight school songs including “Here Comes Carolina,” “Carolina Fight Song,” and UNC’s alma mater “Hark the Sound.” Past UNC students wrote and composed over half of the fight songs featured on the album, and the student marching band performs the same songs today, nearly five decades later. In fact, the band and fans conclude each game with “Hark the Sound,” linking arms and…
