Studying Political Science Enjoyable for Chad Harp



The field of political science is a vast and interesting field of study. There are a wide variety of PhD's working in political science and examining the political issues of the day. There are countless other individuals with undergraduate and master's degrees in the field. Essentially, the work of a political scientist is that of studying the state. Much of political science involves studying the political systems, behavior, and culture of a given society. Many things can be gleamed from such studies, allowing us to make contrasts and comparisons to other systems around the world.

Chad Harp had always had a strong interest in the world of politics. This led him to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he pursued a degree in political science. He recently graduated magna cum laude with a GPA of 3.96. During his studies, he often went after every opportunity he could to get involved in political work in the area.

Eventually, this led him to work for the Republican National Committee in Las Vegas during the past election cycle in 2012. This meant that Chad Harp was able to campaign for prominent Republican candidates for president (including Mitt Romney) and local races in the Las Vegas area. The work was incredibly exciting and very educational for Chad Harp. He was able to see first hand what goes on behind the scenes in political campaigns and within a party itself.

While Chad Harp enjoyed the study of political science very much, it isn't quite where his full passion lies. Currently, Chad Harp is the vice president of a venture capital investment business, where his mind and heart are currently located. He will be attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas this fall to earn his MBA. This MBA will give him the necessary skills to succeed in the investment field while also making it possible for him to engage in politics later in life.

Teaching Is a Good Career Thinks Chad Harp



One of the most challenging jobs in the world is that of the teacher. Teachers are charged with preparing youth for the present and the future. They have to instill in children the skills and knowledge that they are going to rely on to navigate the world. Teachers touch the lives of so many people, yet they receive very little recognition (or pay) for their work.

Chad Harp was able to live life for two years as a teacher in a slightly different way. From 2004 through 2005, Chad Harp lived in Tokyo, Japan. There he worked for NOVA International Language School. The school focused on teaching English to businessmen as well as providing private lessons for school students looking to improve their proficiency in English.

Teaching in Japan gave Chad Harp insight into what teachers have to deal with on a daily basis. It can be overwhelming at first to know that you are responsible for the learning of an entire class. Of course, the more time one spends teaching, the better they get at accomplishing the goals they need to accomplish. Once they become proficient at that, they are able to accomplish things with their students above and beyond the goals and expectations of others.

For that reason, Chad Harp thinks that teaching is one of the most fascinating careers. The fact that one is directly influencing the present and future life of hundreds of people a year means that teachers are a unique profession. They have a daunting task ahead of them but they still persevere. Chad Harp himself didn't have a strong enough passion for teaching to continue with the career, but he is grateful for the time he spent teaching. There really is no other way to learn about what a teacher must deal with than by doing it yourself.

Earning Good Grades Rewarding for Chad Harp



When one is engaged in scholarly effort, it can be frustrating waiting to hear back on your performance. The anxiety involved with devoting hours upon hours of your time preparing for a test or crafting a long report is amplified by the fact that after you turn in the assignment or submit your test, you will have to wait for your grades.

Chad Harp had to deal with this semester after semester at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. In 2012, he graduated from the school with a bachelor's degree in political science. Chad Harp is an excellent scholar and student, which is reflected in the fact that he finished his entire four-year program with a GPA of 3.96. This almost perfect GPA was a very rewarding result after his four years of effort in the program.

Still, every paper, project, and exam he took filled him with an anxious desire to know his grade as soon as possible. It would be nice for students everywhere to be able to have immediate feedback on their work. This normal aspect of human nature is the reason that people like the instant recognition of social media and other platforms people interact with on a daily basis.

Still, Chad Harp knew that he was putting forth his best work. Deep down he knew he would always receive good grades for his work, but it was always frustrating to wait to have that belief confirmed. Performing well in college always felt good for Chad Harp. Not only did his high grades feel good emotionally, they also set Chad Harp up for an even more successful career.

Chad Harp will be attending the University of Nevada, Las Vegas MBA graduate program in the fall of 2013. He has no doubt that his academic success will carry over into his master's degree. Sure, it will take some adjustment to how things are done in a graduate program, but Chad Harp knows he will persevere and succeed.
