My academic goals are to learn skills that I will need in the workforce to achieve my career goals. Being a successful student academically has always been important to me, from high school through all four years of college. I hope to have a substantial foundation of knowledge and experiences from the classroom that will transition over into my future career. Before my professional career begins, I will work hard to attain my CPA by retaining my classroom education. Furthermore, the enhanced knowledge I will gain from a Master of Accounting from Iowa State will better my chances at achieving my goal of passing the CPA exam.
My career goals include working at a public accounting firm to gain experience of the field while working towards receiving my CPA. After a few years, I want to work my way up in the company and eventually become a partner. Or, if I decide to go private working for a company, I would like to become a CFO. Whichever path I choose, the most important consideration for me as I start my professional career is not a specific job title in accounting, but rather the chance to work for a company that promotes a positive work culture and provides an opportunity for professional growth. In addition, I want to wish to work for a company that shares much of the same values as me and is enjoyable to work for.
A Master of Accounting degree from Iowa State University would greatly expand my intelligence in the accounting field, and learn higher level concepts that
I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

At the beginning of the semester of FIN 421, you asked each student what career path they wanted to pursue. At that moment I sarcastically answered, “I wanted to be a CFO of a company in about 15 – 20 years”. Now looking back after just 4 months, I am inspired to pursue a career in executive field. I was not serious about this career goal until we had guest speakers, Dan Cox and Kevin Lycklama from Riverview Bank. Both of them originally took the path of Accounting and Auditing. I feel like I am in the same position as they were 15 years ago. I am inspired by their story and want to follow their footsteps.
As a prospective Biology major and Veterinarian, I hope to gain experience working with plants and animals in the field of Biology and consider internships with veterinarians. I plan to put my experience and qualifications to use by applying for an accredited veterinary college. Upon acceptance, I will strive towards earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree (DVM). If I do not gain acceptance into a veterinary medicine program, then I will steer myself more towards the forensic science fields. A degree and certification in veterinary medicine is appealing and preferable to me. However, to keep my options open, the field of forensic science and crime scene investigations will serve as
My business experiences have helped me decide why I wanted to pursue a degree in accounting. At a young age, I have always had an interest in math and the way money works in the economy. Being able to speak Spanish and English has also shaped my interests in the business industry.
Efforts are geared towards career education, and making opportunities in the field of accounting visible. Organizations are forging forward to identify the need for financial literacy early in academics and taking measures to fulfill the academic void. Efforts to improve financial literacy and career education in the field of accounting are employed by organizations such as KPMG through a myriad of programs geared towards high school students. Rutgers future scholars program sponsored by EY offers mentors and tutors starting from the junior high school level of academics to diverse students who would not otherwise be able to access such opportunities. EY also sponsors and funds a program which works towards recruiting and maintaining diversity in accounting programs at colleges. These accounting organizations understand and aim to fulfill client needs and as a result stay competitive in the changing
Different plants grow in different environments. Their differences are accommodated by their environment. There should be an understanding that students are the same way. Each student thrives in different environments of learning. Alicia is a sixth grade student who is not thriving in her environment. She refuses to participate and becomes anxious at the thought of school. Academically, Alicia struggles to coherently express her thoughts, and she becomes lost in mathematical problems. Alicia is not thriving in her environment. By looking into the specifics of Alicia’s behavior and academic goals, one can see how she will be able to meet her goals and flourish in the classroom.
My educational and career goals are to major in either psychology or sociology. My plan is to get my master’s degree and begin working as a high school counselor where I will be able to help teenagers who are struggling and help them make the best decisions. I have decided to take this path because there are many students who aren’t aware of the opportunities that they have. Besides checking to see if students are on track for graduation, counselors should let students know about opportunities that will help students in their future like financial aid, exploring college majors, or other helpful resources. Counselors are often only thinking about graduation, but they should motivate those students to think about higher education. In my opinion,
Life is a continual learning process, which requires a strong method to develop better ways of apprenticeship. Personally, being able to obtain a higher education gives me an opportunity to be better in many ways. Everyone should have any personal goals in life in order to survive, prosper and succeed in every journey that life gives. As for me, being a University of Phoenix student, I hope to achieve all of my goals on which I have been trying to pursue and obtain through the years. They are goals that I believe I need to have to be a successful member of the society, and through attending the university I also hope to gain a more positive image of myself, build my personal growth, along with achieving

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.
For as long as I can remember, my parents have told me that I need to work hard and get good grades so that one day, I may receive enough scholarships to attend college. Coming from a low-income household, college wasn’t an expectation but rather a dream; one that could only be achieved through a dedication to my academics. Fortunately, I love to be challenged and most of my decision to attend college derived from a personal desire to learn.
Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.
Being a college student is not all about gaining from each endeavor encountered. There are gains and loses simultaneously. As a student develops in his or her academic career, the student eventually learns that priorities have to be put in place. Being a well-rounded individual can be very difficult as a STEM student. For this reason, my personal academic goal is to be a well-rounded student and individual. A well-rounded student can be defined as a student with a minimum of 3.7 GPA with a role in at least one extracurricular activity. To achieve my goal in becoming a well-rounded individual, I would like to develop, to the best of my ability, excellent study habits, soft-skills and self-discipline in all areas of my life. I strive to attain this personal academic goal.
It has been 10 years passed since last time I entered in college as a freshman, and now, at the end of 2017, I decide to go back to college for pursuing a new major and reaching a new objective of career path. All of these will start from Fullerton College.
