Past, Present, and Future Paper
I began my undergraduate studies at the University of Phoenix (UOP) in July 2006. The decision to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree from UOP was based on the school’s curriculum, reputation, learning environment, and personal references.
Past

My previous schooling had been at a local College where I didn’t really have any educational or professional goals in mind and lacked workforce experience. Upon enrolling at UOP, I possessed that experience but my study skills were void of any value.

Along with the noticeable benefit of receiving formal education in techniques, tools, and information used in organizations, the University of Phoenix’s management program has provided various other material paybacks. Despite a lack of good study skills on my part, UOP quickly became a motivating and rewarding activity. The management program and particularly courses like MGT/330, Management: Theory, Practice and Evaluation, has provided me with a greater understanding of the fundamental reasons for why organizations operate in the manner they do, what factors are used in making important decisions and how organizations produce the values that are used in developing processes and procedures. Even with a substantial background in management, the program helped me develop a renewed perspective of an educated manager. I have also seen development in my attitude toward business as a whole. Human Resource Management, MGT/431, helped with my seeing business as a constant effort between
I chose to attend WBU for its insistence on the need to prepare well-educated individuals in a Christian environment. For me, undertaking my studies in such an institution would in addition to developing my moral character also enable me to become a highly productive professional in my chosen career. As a result of coursework completed at the university, I have experienced both academic and professional growth in a number of academic areas. In terms of personal growth, I am now a better communicator. Further, I now regard myself a better decision maker. On the other hand, I have also grown professionally as far as my understanding of management theory and practice is concerned. My understanding of organizational behavior has also been enhanced as a result of coursework completed at the university.

Education is one of the most valuable things a person can have access to, and I cherish my opportunity to come to a university such as this one.

During my career at SUNY Orange, I have grown by leaps and bounds. I have mastered my short comings, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the Dean’s list three semesters and running, earned the Peter Albergani Inspirational Scholarship, and I was selected to attend the Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College. SUNY Orange has opened many doors for me, doors I did not even know existed.

That all changed when I was given the opportunity to experience what it would be like to attempt learning at a four year institution.

The topics I gained the most insight from were: big five personality traits, Levels of planning, Personal leadership style and managerial tasks. I will explain and tell you abut and what they mean and how they apply to me.

Over a short period of time, I have already learned so many things about how the rest of my future at UMPI will be like and how it has already impacted me.
