Given the Summer Olympics going on now, our featured blog involves MBA (and competitive runner) Molly Nunn.
*****
RUNNERSAPIEN is a blog by Molly Nunn, who was both an undergrad and an MBA grad from Wake Forest. In the past, she has used her blog to chronicle her passion for running and her pursuit of an MBA in the Working Professionals program.
The best thing about the blog is that it is conversational and well-written, reflecting the author's English major and unique outlook on life. In addition to great posts, Molly has a column highlighting some of her favorite song lyrics!
There is an inspirational element steeped in her business school education. Here is a great example that would make Dean Reinemund proud, given the topic:
Passion never leaves, it pauses; we pause it. Sometimes, I think that this is necessary or just happens due to life's circumstances be it family, jobs, friends, et. al. It is recognizing when I have paused on purpose that I must step back and recognize why I'm walking around feeling discontent - and then make the needed adjustments. The funny part about all of this is that it is usually the smallest changes that are catalysts for big time results!
And another example following May's graduation ceremony:
This night filled me with overwhelming memories of the past several years up until now. There was much that was accomplished in this time period and I've gained the tools needed to move steadily forward. In gaining a new skill set and learning lessons, some fun - others very difficult, there are things and people to be left behind. ... I can only speak for myself because ultimately I am the one responsible for how, when, and whether or not I use the tools and knowledge that I have. It's a simple business decision made from a cost-benefit analysis.
These are just a few examples of the writing style. Molly also has a great eye for photography, so you will also see some terrific photos on her site.
