I am interested in pursuing a degree in business because there are a variety of job opportunities within the field. My parents also owned their own business, which was the main reason I wanted to pursue a business degree. I was inspired by their work ethics, and how they overcame their struggles and obtained success within their business and recognition in society. Originally, my major was in management. However, I have recently become more interested in an ISOM major after attending an Ask the Professionals event. This is because ISOM combines both business skills and IT skills to give you a unique skill set that is highly sought after in the current job market. My ideal job upon graduation would be working in a company like Freddie Mac where I can utilize my knowledge and work within a team setting.

I must be accountable for my work and maintaining and developing my knowledge and skills

I have two Associates degrees and my goal now is to work my way through a Bachelor's in Psychology and on to a graduate degree.I enjoy people. I hope to have my own business one day. In the meantime, I enjoy helping others in my own unique way without the psych degree. Over the years I've enjoyed volunteering for the Humane Society, Horse Rescue, and Food

Long term goal: Graduate Timken Early College High School(TECHS) with an Associates degree from Stark State College in four years. (Including freshman year).

There are a few reasons I’d like to earn this degree. The most important reason, to me, is to achieve a personal goal. My life has been pretty backward and I have hit some bumpy roads along the way. Pursuing this degree was something I looked at as, “I wish I would have finished school,” instead of, “I’m going back as soon as I can.” The day I receive my diploma will be both a proud moment for me, and a motivation going forward in life.

I have a specific plan for my career after leaving education. I would take up the job as a human resource officer.

For this section I will present two short-term SMART goals that will help me to improve

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

Imagine the impact technological innovations have had on society? How much did technology influence society a decade ago, and how much does it influence society now? Technology was created from humans to become a more efficient specie. Although technology has advanced society with respect to technology and efficiency, it has also created problems not previously seen because of the use of technology. Edward Tenner, a writer and technology consultant, wrote an article titled “Another Look Back, and a Look Ahead” published in 1996. In his article Tenner argues, through the use of the rhetorical appeal ethos, compare and contrast, and cause and effect, that society is advancing at an alarming rate and suggests a “retreating from intensity”

I plan to develop a time table and lay out exactly how my week will go each week so that I can stay on track. I plan to decrease the amount of time I spend on activities such as social media and watching television so that I can dedicate more time to achieving this goal. Basically, this goal is all about managing my time appropriately and that is what I plan to do. I plan on scheduling my day accordingly as if I had a physical class to go to and use that time to study and complete assignments. Another action that I plan on taking toward this goal is to take my work with me everywhere, including vacations. I take time off regularly for family vacations and just quality family time but because of this challenging goal, I must sacrifice some of that time. I see it as a short-term sacrifice that those who care about my success will

I am a transfer student at California State University, Long Beach and my major is Human Development with a concentration in social and personality development. I enjoy volunteering to work with isolated senior citizens and at the Orange County Food Bank in Garden Grove. Giving back to my community and being successful in school goes hand in hand for me. With all my heart, I believe that a higher education will allow me to reach out and do more for the individuals in my community and to mold me as a responsible member of society.

Business Administration The idea of studying business administration has appealed to me greatly and has encouraged me to further develop my education following this path. I have a keen enthusiasm to pursue a degree in Business Administration as I enjoy the challenges it sets and find the many different areas of business you are able to branch out into, very exciting! From research about the subject I'm expecting to greatly further my learning of how businesses operate and be able to then put my knowledge into practice. I am confident within myself and find communication with others easy.
