My interest in business stems from two women, my mother, a fellow woman entrepreneur, and Mary Wells Lawrence, the first woman to own her own advertising agency.

During my time at Union County College I have been faced with a lot of difficulties. I’ve struggled along the way but one thing I do believe is that I have the power to do better. My GPA has been affected by my personal mistakes. In my past semesters I have let my job take over my life rather than let school be most important. I have also let my personal family problems affect my work ethic. But through my fall 2014, it was most difficult because of March 2014 I lost my father through an unexpected heart attack. Throughout my fall semester I did struggle and cope with my father not being here anymore.

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.

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.

We observed different companies’ stocks and decided which stocks we wanted to buy. After buying stocks from 6 different companies, we recorded the amount of money they made us that week. As the weeks passed, we had to decide whether or not we wanted to keep our stocks or sell them. By the end of the simulation, we either made money or lost money.
I managed staff and freelancers while developing and delivered projects and marketing programs using SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely) goals" (Dems, 2008).
