Elaine Jordan is Success-Oriented

Elaine Jordan's College Career is a continuation of high school success.

2014-04-15
IOWA CITY, IA, April 15, 2014 (Press-News.org) Elaine Jordan is a student at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, where she is currently studying Environmental Biosciences and Geology. Since she was in high school, she has demonstrated an uncommon dedication to bettering herself, and to excelling in any task she sets her mind to.

Elaine Jordan has reached the point in her education where she is able to conduct experiments independently, as a complement to her studies. During the winter term of the 2012-2013 school year, she took the initiative to conduct an experiment about the diet of Bluegill fish during the winter.

This is the sort of initiative and self-motivation that Elaine Jordan has shown since she was in high school, where she consistently impressed her teachers with her dedication to her studies. As a member of the Urbandale High School physics team, she helped win the Regional Grand Championship for a Human Powered Water Heater, in a competition held at Drake University.

During the 2010-2011 school year she volunteered as a High School Teacher's Assistant, where among other things she helped with cat dissections in Biology. Elaine Jordan was involved in her school's Talented and Gifted program throughout her high school years, and in 2010-2011 was a member of the National Honor Society. Selection to NHS is based on four characteristics that Elaine Jordan has shown in abundance: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

The same year Elaine Jordan was selected as a member of NHS, she was named her school's German Student of the year. She founded and served as President of Urbandale High's German Club, and in the summer of 2010 was an exchange student in Germany for three weeks. Her family hosted two German students, also for three weeks.

The exchange was done through the German American Partnership Program (GAPP), and organization that supports school partnerships and exchanges between high schools in the United States and secondary schools in Germany. GAPP allows groups of American high school students and German secondary school students to visit a secondary school in the other country. The recommended group size is 10-20 students of approximately the same age. In Germany, as well as in the U.S., students live with their host family and take part in school activities.

Since embarking on her college career, Elaine Jordan has continued to excel. She is an avid reader who enjoys nonfiction and poetry, although her homework always comes first. Hitting the books, she says, is the single most effective way to keep her grades up. Elaine Jordan always reviews her performance on tests, papers, and other assignments when she gets her grades back from her professors. If she didn't do as well as she expected, then she reviews what she did to see how she can improve. If, on the other hand, she scored well, then she reviews what she did correctly. She has found this to be a potent strategy.

Elaine Jordan is involved in extracurricular activities at the university, including mentoring programs, working as a resident assistant, and serving as the President of the Waterski & Wakeboard Club.

About: Elaine Jordan is an outstanding student who has studied hard since high school
