Cheer Up…It’s Econ!
I decided to take microeconomics class this summer. I took it for fun. Literally.
Then, I convinced my wonderful and brilliant fiancé to take it with me. My fiancé goes to Buena Vista University (loves it) and upon sitting in our class for one hour turned to me and told me something absolutely amazing! (I will share that with you later).
You never really know what a stranger is thinking. In the admissions department, we always try to gauge what the other person is thinking and try to help them decide on the right path to academic success. As a tour guide, I put myself in the new student’s shoes to make them feel more comfortable.
When a foreign exchange student comes to Iowa Western for the first time, what do they think? What do they see that we do not? What do we take for granted that they love?
I was so curious to see what my fiancé’s perception of a community college was. His statement absolutely shocked me. The biggest difference between all the schools he has been to was something we all see and experience every day! What was it?
”Wow. The kids here seem so positive and upbeat!” He told me. And after me thinking about it, I realized, yes we are.
So I told him “Yeah, you better cheer up quick, after all, we are in econ!
