Howard University Career Path

I am not one of those individuals who realized that a career in the legal field would be their lifelong dream from the age of six or even twelve, or to be honest, after graduating high school. I have been aimless for a majority of my life, and it shows. I chose to major in biotechnology, then after a few semesters, decided to double major in literature. I then went on to become president of an academic society focused on International studies. It was not until I took the course Law and Business in my Sophomore year with Professor Jisoo Lee that I believed I could be nothing else but a lawyer. I was enthralled by what others found tedious and boring, spending every available minute reading case files and figuring out ways to, as my professor

The major I will be pursuing is Criminal Justice with Pre-Law classes. My main academic goal is to become the best in my class and to learn complex strategies that the justice field offers. The reason why I want to pursue these academic goals is that I seek change in this world and I believe that I can help make it a better place. I would be able to use these courses to impact other lives. Basically, I want to question the nature of authority and understand who and how someone might be chosen to be in a position of authority. I believe there should always be a system for redress, a way to appeal, within the court

After high school, I am going to attend Texas A&M to get an undergraduate degree in public economics and after that I will pursue further education at the Texas A&M Law School. I am going to get a degree in law so that when I graduate I can be a partner in my family's law firm. For the past couple of years I have toyed with the thought of either going to join the marines or being a lawyer but in the end I came to the conclusion that becoming a lawyer was the best bet for me; three generations of my family have done it and I would like to fill their shoes and carry out tradition.

However, I am grateful that I have been able to identify the weak points in my learning efforts so early in my academic career and also been able to implement changes to them. The way in which I study is drastically changing and I have already seen positive improvements because of that. I have reprioritized many times, focusing primarily on my studies, and finally arrived at a balance that works best with my schedule. I have learned to not be reserved and to expose myself to all that is available at this university because some of my best experiences have come from unexpected moments. Overall, I have assured myself that choosing a liberal arts education was the best decision I made because it offers me an infinite amount of opportunities, both intellectually and personally. My goals have been reevaluated after my learning thus far and I am enthusiastic to continue to pursue them throughout the remainder of my time here. Academically, I plan to graduate with a competitive skillset that will set me apart from others in the workforce and also graduate studies. The education I am receiving here is phenomenal and I wish to translate that into my future career. To do so, I strive to be involved inside and outside of the classroom to further my knowledge in all subjects. Through involvement in various organizations, I aim to become more diverse in my abilities. Along with that, I have ambition

The expectation that I hold for myself in life is success. I have many goals I wish to achieve in my future; however, the only obstacle in my way is hard work and myself. Of my many ambitions there are still many out of my reach, but of the ones achievable without too many years passing are the issues I’m considering and preparing for already. More than anything, I wish to graduate as Valedictorian of my class, be accepted into a college with a free-ride, and when I move to my new school for senior year I will still try to follow my dreams no matter the challenge. After high school, I plan to attend several challenging colleges some ideas are UT Martin or Vanderbilt. This education will allow me to live my life as I wish; with a high paying

I have a passion for learning, which has been inspired by my undergraduate studies at UCSB. I came into college thinking that I would feel the same about my classes as I did in high school. Most were interesting, but nothing really made me feel inspired about learning until my first quarter Sociology class. I am currently a Sociology major and plan to double major in History, as well as minor in Applied Psychology. These three subjects have grabbed my attention and have made me truly passionate about learning new things. I am working to achieve a high GPA during my undergrad at UCSB so that I can get into a good Graduate School to obtain a Ph.D to further the passion I have for education.

My academic goal is to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Argosy University within 36 months and graduate with at least a 3.75 GPA by successfully completing two courses every session, effective September 8, 2016. This long term goal will be achieved by accomplishing various short term objectives such as achieving positive attendance/participation in each course while earning at least 90% on all my assignments. My motivation to reach this goal is provided by both intrinsic and extrinsic sources. I pride myself on setting an example for my children to follow. I put an emphasis on never losing interest in developing new skills and remaining relevant. Additionally, I look at earning my degree as a way to boost my confidence, which has been lacking since I left the workforce to provide full time care for my children. This inward stress I place upon myself is a positive force and my intrinsic motivation. My extrinsic motivation is provided by the prospect of career growth and increased compensation. In the military, once an enlisted member attains the rank of Chief (E-7), each consecutive advancement is more difficult. Being the recipient of an academic degree gives me a competitive edge for promoting through the

I always desired to learn the most I can in various subjects. My goals in life are vast and strikingly different. Receiving an education that would limit my pursuits to one career path is not my ideal education. Receiving a liberal arts education challenges me to think critically, express my ideas both spoken and authored. Those skills can be applied to every career path I can imagine. My plans include becoming a renowned blogger, lawyer and eventually publisher. For example: one of my short goals is to improve my writing skills, at Spelman I have seen the importance of writing thus far. Spelman incorporates writing across the curriculum. This will fine tune my writing skills in a variety of genres. The focus of black womanhood across the curriculum will diversify my perspective in the culture of the professional

Whether it is hitting a service target on the tennis court or coordinating branch meetings for a multibillion-dollar telecommunications company, I have worked relentlessly to complete my objectives. This goal-oriented approach to life has helped me thrive in the workforce, the classroom, and on the tennis court. My goal to be a Division 1 athlete, legal intern, and a successful college student were fulfilled while at Baylor University, because of my consistent work ethic. This persistent desire to excel in everything I do will help me tackle obstacles in law school and work to become a successful attorney.

As I began studying here at Seattle University, I was aware of my career goals, yet I did not know the academic path that would lead me to them. My career goals were not focused towards a specific discipline, as all I intended to pursue was a career that would contribute to the improvement of my native Hawaiian community. As the school year progressed, I joined student organizations such as hall council and gained leadership positions. In hall council, we were responsible for addressing the needs and desires of our fellow student residents in order to unify our dorm hall community. This experience allowed me to realize that I enjoy fulfilling the needs of others and contributing to the community. Being a part of hall council also reminded me

College has been my priority. I want to continue my education by attending Cal State East Bay to obtain my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and my Master’s Degree in Public Administration. My career goal after I obtain both of my degrees is to work for the city of Santa Ana where I can serve my city where I grew up. Throughout my two years at Santa Ana College, I faced difficult family circumstances that conflicted with my studies, but challenged me to continue with my education regardless of the hardships. I remember some day during the first week of instructions on my first semester at Santa Ana College I broke down in tears in front of my family in my backyard because I was

My goal at TUJ is to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in International Business Studies and Japanese Language. Later, I hope to attend USC Gould School of Law and graduate as an attorney. Finally, I plan to serve as an attorney on the board of an international company’s entertainment department such as Red Bull, GoPro, or Universal. In pursuit of my goals I volunteer as a Youth Advocate and Beach Captain for Heal the Bay, serve as President and Founder of the Adelante club at SMC and I have interned at the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s Accounting

I have given much thought about my education and career goals. I included my current qualifications and accomplishment, as well as, the fulfillment of my desire to work in the government sector or industry. The issue I had with setting this goal was I qualified to work in many areas, and had become as a “jack of all trades and master of none.” I was all over the place trying to land in a specific area and industry. I have an Associates of Applied Arts degree in Paralegal, a Certificate in Corporate Governance, and a Bachelors of Science degree in Criminal Justice. I have worked in the private and nonprofit sector for years. I have collaborated with local and state government for a cause, but still felt as if something was missing, or I was not connecting with the right person or institutions. Therefore, I knew I had to strategically pursue both, education and career goals according to my vision and in doing so, I have to think long-term keeping my eyes on the result of my goals.

Currently, there are many types of goals I have for myself that are important to my career. Of the first, I want to stay here at University of Saint Francis and get my Bachelors in Science of Nursing. I’ve transferred to and from many colleges since being out of high school and I think I’ve finally found my home at USF. This degree would help me obtain a job that is something I enjoy doing rather than something I’m forced to do. Secondly, I would love to be on the Dean’s List every semester. I’m not quite sure how this fits in with my career other than it would be something I can say I did while getting my degree. Lastly, I plan on sticking with my job at the nursing home in hopes that someday I can use that as resume builder and gain extra knowledge in things I wouldn’t normally be able to access in a classroom. Who knows, this might lead to further advancement and even promotion!

Currently, I plan on double majoring in History and American Studies on the pre-law track. I want to attend law school at Columbia, Georgetown, William and Mary, or UVa. I’m currently thinking about going into corporate law, becoming a divorce attorney, or being an animal rights lobbyist. I’m also thinking about possibly running for the House of Representatives when I’m older. My second plan would be to major in psychology and become a
