Personal Statement: Obtaining A Business Degree

Upon graduating high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t want to be like a lot of my friends and use college as an excuse to party all night and be lazy all day. So I decided to apply for a full time position as a diesel mechanic at Utility Fleet Sales so that I could at least begin earning income. Soon after starting this position, I realized that I wanted more. I decided to attend night classes at Blinn community college while continuing to work full time. I had no idea on what degree I wanted to work towards, but for the first time in my life I began to enjoy school. As I finished my first year at Blinn and second year working as a technician, I was promoted to an inside parts associates. This position introduced me to inventory management, building relationships with customers, cost management and basic accounting. I really enjoyed applying the mechanical knowledge I learned from working as a technician, towards my new position of

I am currently a college student, and I plan on continuing my college journey to build up a Bbachelor’s degree in my field of study . I am currently in the Work-Study program at Tri-County Community College. My goal is to be graduated and to have a full-time job beneficial to my life-style and my program of study. I am currently taking classes for Business Administration: Banking and Finance.

I am a hardworking, outgoing and self-motivated high school student. The program I have applied for is business accounting. I am convinced that I possess a unique blend of skills that will enable me to successfully complete this program. To begin with, I am quite comfortable working with figures. I regard my love for figures to have come by default. From a very young age my dad who happens to be a mathematics professor saw to it that I developed the necessary analytical capabilities through regular coaching. Hence I have over time developed great passion for analytical subjects including business accounting. I regard my being comfortable with figures an essential skill that will help me succeed in this particular program. Further, I have also been an avid reader of financial magazines and journals. In that regard, I possess significant knowledge on the workings of business. This I will combine with my liking for figures to enhance my chances of success in this particular program.

Throughout this year I don’t believe that I have really achieved much. I graduated from Charles F. Brush High School in Lyndhurst, Ohio, with a 2.8 GPA. Which is good because I am the first male with my name to graduate on time. I got a second job working at an Old Navy and I am a full time student at Kent State University. To me though my most recent accomplishment that I acknowledge is my decision to pursue a double major with I minor. After going through all the majors available at Kent State and taking an assessment for help, I’ve decided to commit to being a Business Management major with a minor in Marketing starting in spring 2017. For years I’ve known that I want to run my own business, more specifically start my own brand of clothing,

Since I started community college I’ve heard several dozen cases of people changing their major, changing their transfer college, or just changing their mind. I’m not likely to do any of that, I choose to use my time in high school deciding what I wanted to do and so far I am sticking to it without a doubt in my mind. I chose to go to community college, earn my Associate's in Business Administration, and transfer to James Madison University in the fall of 2018, graduate in 2020 with my Bachelor’s. I intend to get my Master’s either right after my Bachelor’s or within a few years of my career. I hope to have a job leaving JMU, my first accounting job of my career. I decided to major in accounting for a plethora of reasons, but not what most people expect.

When I first starting thinking about colleges, I figured that I had plenty of time to find a suitable one and apply. However, to my dismay, I soon realized that not only was the application process long and confusing, but it also cost a lot back then. Because of my busy schedule, when I discovered how time-consuming and expensive college was, I almost gave up looking entirely. I was just about ready to throw in the towel and find a suitable part time job and work my way up from there. Just when I felt I was getting overwhelmed, I took a break from college admissions for a while, and later picked them back up again. Little did I know that later in 2017, I would be accepted into ASU and successfully earn a bachelor’s degree in

I am currently major in Business Administration with an emphasis on marketing, and my GPA is 3.88. I have completed 53 credits hours by taking classes as a full-time student for the last two years. My goal is to transfer to UC Berkeley, and get my bachelor’s degree. After that, I plan to work in a company, and learn about how a company works. Then I would like to start my own business basing on the market at that time. Thanks to you, I am one step closer to my goal.

Being a Kilgore College student has opened my eyes to the many opportunities that the world has to offer. As I started, my first semester, I was just ready to graduate and receive a degree to be able to look for a job. However, I have realized that my education can exceed more than an associate’s degree. That instead of just finding any job I can further my education and start a career. My plan's have now changed dramatically, my sophomore year, I have thought about the overall picture and seen that I am capable of more than just a college degree. My career plans consists of graduating Kilgore College this summer and then looking forward to transferring to UT Tyler to continue my education to become an Accountant. Although I am also considering the University of Houston, since there are more opportunities upon graduating there. Once I graduate

I transferred to the University of Texas last semester in hopes to walk in and make impeccable grades and move my way into the McCombs School of Business. Much to my surprise, my first semester grades fell short of what was needed to even be a competitive applicant for entry to the school. My parents set me up to first receive a practical degree, such as business, then move on to law school. Coming to the end of my sophomore year, where all second-year students must declare a major, I became very lost and scared of what I was to do next. Practically, I always had the backup plan to study economics in the College of Liberal Arts if I didn’t get into McCombs, but when that time came, I knew that economics was not in my heart. Around this time

My goal is to become a CEO of a large corporate firm involving pharmaceuticals or insurance. In order to make that goal come alive, I will be attending St. John Fisher College and take the classes I need to be successful in those fields so I can receive a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and Marketing. By declaring the Business Management and Marketing majors, I will learn the specialized skills I need in order to sell my personal business image, which is important because it will benefit in the long run allowing me to achieve my future career goals.

As a first year at California State University San Marcos, I hope to continue life as a focused and active student until I have graduated and received my business degree. At CSUSM there are excellent and rigorous courses I will need to take to achieve my mission. With previous goals I obtained, tremendous amounts of hard work and dedication took place into the various functions demanded. Attending CSUSM will be nothing distant of labor and commitment after all I must hold a part time job as well as being a full time student to graduate. Although I am currently studying business, I do not know specifically what I am designing my career towards, nevertheless, finances and math has constantly acted as my strong suit. During the time that I continue

Hi, hello, and hey everyone I’m Staci. It’s really nice to meet all of you. As of now I am currently dual majoring in business administration as well as hospitality and tourism. If things go as planned I should be done with my business degree around May and then I’ll be able to transfer over to UCF to finish up the other.

The vision that I have for my future and career is a positive one. I started my MBA program at GCU with a positive attitude, determination to stay in the program and complete it successfully. My desire and vision after I complete my program is to take up a new challenge of starting my own small business in the area of non-medical Care Giving Services. This business will give me a great deal of opportunities to utilize all that I’ve learnt throughout my program. Through the small business that I’m looking to set up, I will have the opportunity to offer quality Care Giving Services to clients who have disabilities of one form or another. Not all clients get the quality care that they deserve in the care giving business, so I will focus on rendering loving and compassionate care that will make life easier for our clients. The services rendered and our core values will be in the best interest of the clients.

I am approaching the end of my schooling here at the University of Michigan – Flint; I graduate with my bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a focus in Entrepreneurship in May 2017. The reason I chose Business Management as my major is because when I graduated high school I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life or what type of career I wanted to pursue. I sat down with my parents one day and we talked about the things that interest me and talked about the type of life I want to live when I’m older. After discussing with my parents we decided I should go to school for Business Management and throughout my years at school find some type of business I am interested in and possibly open or manage my own. After a little over three years of college, I think I figured out what kind of business I want to manage.

Growing up in a business-oriented household consisted of being exposed to, and witnessing talks of business management — be it at in-house parties or out at dinners — from a very young age, which I believe has impacted my upbringing and passions to a great extent. Along with a substantial inclination towards Business Management, I also had a keen interest in the field of Accounting, which I became more aware of at the age of around nine. Most kids resent going to the bank with their fathers, however, for me, it was always a source of amusement and gratification. As a child, I would witness my father give cash to the banker and/or vice versa, which would leave me to ponder about what exactly was going on. This eagerness to have the know-how of money and what goes behind it made me discover my true passion.
