College of Human Resources - YOU!
I believe that the greatest asset that I will bring to the state of Iowa upon my entrance to the workforce will be my work ethic. Growing up in Iowa, I feel lucky to have learned the value of a strong work ethic. I have learned my work ethic and sharpened my view of it through tough tasks, sports practices, and rigorous schooling. I have learned that showing someone how hard you can and will work for something or someone speaks more about your character and abilities than any resume can. At a young age, I was also taught this work ethic largely through working on our family farm. I learned that quitting was not an option and that no matter time of day, weather conditions or personal soreness, the work had to get accomplished. This is something that I try never to take advantage of an I have been complemented on my ‘Iowa’ work ethic numerous times from friends that hail from all parts of the world.
