1. What Accomplishments Are You Most Proud Of?

Motivation keeps me intrigue, keeps me striving in what I do what professionally and in my personal life with either learning a new skill or simply learning a new subject. Motivation is both external and internal as learned in Chapter 2 of “Cornerstone: Creating Success through Positive Changes”. I would say my biggest motivations are my two kids. They keep me wanting to do better; not only for me but for them as well. Not only to motivate them but wanting for them to excel in whatever they would choose for a career path. I need to keep pursuing a higher education and not become stagnate with nothing to fall back on. While in the military I’ve enjoyed my time and serve honorably but I do know this is not what I want to do for the rest of

My dad is motivational , he always motivates us to be the best that we can

Thanks to my parents pushing me to do my best, I have an outstanding work ethic in school and on the field. Because of this effort and work put in, I have been a captain on basketball, football, and baseball teams. Not only were my parents important factors but, so were my coaches and teachers. Coaches and teachers have pushed me to do the best I could and told me when I did things wrong, but praised me when I did them right. They helped to slowly build my character, leadership, scholarship and dedication to everything and anything that I do so that when I had to do something it was done the right way instead of halfway.

In order to ever accomplish something if it is going up the stairs, or getting to college they all have one thing in common. What is it? Motivation. Without it you couldn't do anything you wouldn't have the will to accomplish anything no matter how small. everyone has some kind of motivation in them if it is their parents, wanting more in life or just pure determination.

The courage and persistence to keep going on, past hurdles and obstacles, is powered by purpose. Your purpose.

My parents want nothing more than for me to be successful in my life. For example, they did not think that they were going to have enough money to send me and my brothers through college, so my mother decided that she was going to go back to school so she could become a successful lawyer. She did that and she finished second in her graduating class. She now has a high ranking job and my parents feel confident that they will be able to get the four of us through school somehow.

Knowing that my parents are proud of me pushes me even harder to accomplish my goals. Attending college has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has opened up many doors and options in my life. Although I am in my second semester, it has proved to be the experience of a lifetime. All my life, I have strived for higher education.

A situation where I was extrinsically motivated was when I had to babysit my little siblings for a night. I was extrinsically motivated because I was going to get paid. Usually I do not get paid to babysit, so I was excited and I felt that I had to try my best. I babysit almost every weekend and this particular weekend my parents told me that I deserve to be rewarded for all the times that I babysat. They said, they were going to pay me fifty dollars when they get home, and they were going make sure I did the job I was supposed to do.

From freshman to senior year, four years at Seton Hall University as an undergraduate is about to reach its end. With weeks until graduation, I want to take the time to self-reflect on my journey as both a Stillman Exchange writer and Seton Hall student. I grew immensely as a person and I want to thank everyone who has been a part of that process, you know who you are.

My community and family have contributed to making me the tolerant and compassionate person I am today and helped shape my goals for my future. I value the opportunity to continue on with my education and look forward to attending college and earning a degree in Engineering. In addition to focusing on my academics, I am looking forward to participating in the NROTC program, joining clubs and participating in community service

If you have a negative interaction with a co-worker and it becomes heated how you would go about resolving it professionally?

One reason why my parents will always be my biggest motivators is because they know what 's right from wrong and they know life. They tell me and always pushed me to do my best no matter what. They told me I 'm going to have a lot of distraction and a lot of things I do not want to go through but, its going to happen, thats just life. In the beginning of Elementary school, I

While at Xavier, I continued my passion for service by gaining leadership positions in various organizations, including the Students Government Association; African Students’ Association; Black Students’ Association, and

In a small part, every aspect of my life motivates me to strive for my dreams. My family; parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews and nieces motivate me and push me harder to achieve my goals and aspirations. Me being the first in my family to graduate high school, and enter into college is a tremendous amount of pressure. I want to be able to prove to them that they can reach their dreams no matter how old or young, if they are determined. Mainly, I want to show them that everything is obtainable if you work for it. My boyfriend motivates me to be the best verision of myself that I can be, we both chose to go to SFA together, after I stated I wasn’t interested in going to college. He motivates me to be better, faster, stronger and more determined. He teaches me to set high goals and reach them. Lastly, my coworkers motivate me to continue to improve my already strong work ethic. As their manager, they depend on me to teach them how to succeed in our work environment. Having people look up to me motivates me to no end. I love to set examples and be a leader to show people anything is possible.
