My Lady Of The Lake University: Personal Statement

I would like to pursue counseling as my career and become a successful leader in the field. I have always had a passion to assist people in emotional distress. As a qualified professional in the counseling field, I would be able to identify their problems as well as offer them the most appropriate solutions that may help them deal with their situations. However, working as a professional counselor requires that I possess the relevant skills and knowledge that would enable me to offer quality services in which I think that I can obtain the skills at Capella University. As a

I am currently employed by the Department of Defense, U.S. Army, and Information Management Command as an Education Technician. Having to advise and assist Soldiers in person, by phone and by internet seeking continued education using military educational benefits has changed my career interest. I decided to pursue my goal in Counseling. I am interested in completing my Master’s program so I can become more competitive in the Education and Counseling field of study. By completing this degree and advancing my knowledge both academically and professionally I will become more competitive to compete in the career field of counseling while working for the federal government.

As I started my college career at Tuskegee University, where I double majored in psychology and English. I was passionate about creating social awareness and helping people, but I was unsure what career I was interested in after graduation. I thought about attending graduate school for Counseling Psychology, but I just was not sure about it. I spoke to a professor in the Counselor Education program at Georgia State University and discussed my interests with her. She suggested I look for a program accredited by Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) School Counseling. I enrolled in the School Counseling program at Clark Atlanta

In 2013, I graduated from Mount Olive College with a Bachelor of Science is Clinical Psychology. As an undergraduate I did my internship with the state of North Carolina – Vocational Rehabilitation at WorkSource East in Goldsboro, NC. I am currently in a counseling training program at East Carolina University where I am working on obtaining my Master’s in Substance Abuse and Clinical Counseling.

Loyola Marymount University has been on my list of colleges ever since I stepped foot onto the campus in 2009. Five years later and my admiration of the school has still not reduced. Personally, I believe that without education, a person doesn't have the ability to become prosperous; education is the key to success. Considering this, a person also has to love what they’re doing every day or else they will never be happy. The combination of all these factors leads a person to live their life to the fullest with prosperity, wealth and pleasure. All of these key components are evident in LMU, thus the reason why I am so passionate about attending the campus and adopting the lifestyle of a lion. In addition to the beautiful campus that allows one to imagine they are on a resort instead of a school as well as the intimate student to faculty ratio that gives students the direct attention they need, LMU has a fantastic undergraduate business program that excites me and will prepare me for my future as a possible entrepreneur or lawyer.

• Establish the relationship between completing the University of Phoenix Bachelor's Degree program and lifelong learning.

It was Monday, August 22, 2010, my Sophomore year of high school that I first stepped foot in the classroom of Mr. Telsee’s Principles of Accounting course. I was overwhelmed with thoughts of intimidation, which blinded me from understanding my full potential. Mr. Telsee distinctively educated students on how to connect realistic situations to complex problems. After finally grasping the basic accounting concepts and cycles, I knew accounting was for me. I am a living testimony that success happens the moment you step out of your comfort zone.

One of Texas Woman's University's goals is to empower students, thereby reaching their full potential. Recently, I saw the new tagline, Boldly Go, and it moved me. I want to be able to get out of my safe comfort zone in Louisiana, try new things, and do the best that I can in a new environment. I hope TWU will allow me to have this opportunity to truly be a pioneer for myself and to push me to greater heights through the graduate education.

I choose to attend Bryant University because I knew of their strong focus on business majors and their strong networking reach with potential employers for their students. Currently, I am pursuing a major in management and a minor in psychology, with the possibility of either adding another minor or changing my psychology minor into a major. I have chosen this path because in coincides with my interests with life. I enjoy working with people and showing my leadership skills. I have proven this through work with various groups in my classes, leading my teams through various assignments and projects. I also shows these skills through running my own landscaping business. I employ some of my friends that are out there helping every day during the summer. I enjoy managing different jobs that my employees and I do.

Tell us something about how your undergraduate studies or other life experiences have prepared you for graduate study in counseling. What do you think are your academic strengths and what might be areas of struggle for you? My Bachelor’s degree was in Interdisciplinary studies with a concentration on Human Service. I chose the disciplines of nursing, education, and psychology.

This course focuses on principles of accounting for the non-accounting student. Emphasis will be placed on the accounting equation and transactions, financial statement preparation and analysis, internal controls, regulatory environment, compliance, and global business implications.

I have two main priorities in my life right now which are school and football, which brings me to reason why am I still here at the University of Dubuque? I seem too ask myself if I’ll choose to continue my education and career in football at the University of Dubuque the experience was pretty good with the people I met and I am not really getting distracted from things that are stopping me from getting my work done but it just doesn’t feel right here and my luck here hasn’t been the best either. But as long as I can focus here for the year than I can transfer next year. Which is part of the reason why I am here to play football, it keeps me reminded on what’s really important to me. Can of course that thing is school. Without the grades I

I personally believe I have always been a business-minded individual. Growing up, It was always what do I not use anymore that I can sell or what else can I do to make money. I remember going door to door as a little kid just wanting to do any sort of odd job to make money. In middle school, a friend and I made flyers to mow lawns around the neighborhood. For two summers we would mow and weed four or five yards a week. We became very popular around the neighborhood and it was like we owned our own small business. As I got older, I realized a career in business is something I would like to pursue. My math skills are very strong and are something I am very comfortable working with. Also, my social skills are very strong. I feel very comfortable and enjoy interacting with people. I can not imagine working in anything but a social

I truly believe that psychology will help me greatly in the field of business management the reason for that being, we learned a lot this semester of all things we learning how to deal with stress had to be one my favorite. I plan on entering a field where the stress level is way above average, so therefore I will apply the techniques we used in class.

During the summer of 2015, I obtained an internship at Psychological Associates. I applied for the Organizational Development Intern position during winter break of 2014. After the assessment and interview process, I was given the opportunity to expand my knowledge in the field. Psychological Associates is located in the heart of Clayton, Missouri where I immediately fell in love with the culture and atmosphere of the company. No matter the organization or level of experience from the C-suite to the front line, Psychological Associates ensures companies are selecting suited employees for particular roles through assessing, developing, and guiding employees at all levels. Since I am pursuing a Ph. D degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, this experience played a critical role in my overall understanding of the profession and enhanced my skills to complement my education thus far.
