Iowa's Quality of Life

We started off our day by visiting RDG, formally known as Renaissance Design Group but now just RDG. We spoke with panelist that consists of CEO's from the company to people who they work with. I really enjoyed listening and asking questions with this group because it related the most to my career aspirations. Before my plans were to graduate DMACC and move to another state to work on my bachelor's degree. After today I'm not so sure that I want to venture away from Iowa. The panelist made aware of the career opportunities for young aspiring business men and woman like us.

I was born and raised in Des Moines, IA which in my opinion was not always the most exciting place to be. I could not wait to venture away and explore my options in other states. Today I fell in love again with Des Moines, IA and realized that there is no other place for me. 
 
I appreciate this experience for being an eye opener and helping guide my decisions for my after college plans. I have had a great time meeting successful business people that have donated their time to inspire the students in this program. I can honestly say that I will take away something from each one of my classmates that I met. They all have unique personalities and I know they are soon to be successful in their individual career aspirations. I can't wait to hear remarkable stories of their success, hard work, and leadership skills they will implement into the community. I will truly miss all of them but look forward to continuing long lasting friendships and keeping in touch through facebook or myspace.
