To be honest, I am not really sure what profession I want to pursue after college. I would actually like to try many different things in hopes of finding a career that matters to me personally and that is why I am drawn to the idea of a liberal arts education. I am drawn to the schools peaceful surrounding community and its motivation to instill a sense of civic duty.

For my chosen project, I decided to take a look at one of my hobbies. During my senior year I took a personal finance and discussed with one of my professors about my collection of trading cards. The result of this conversation, had me start thinking about the overall value of my collection for insurance purposes and if I ever sold the collection.

I was raised in a military household; both of my parents were in the U.S. Navy. Growing up I was taught proper discipline, a sense of order, and a firm belief in right and wrong. These skills allowed me to be able to conduct my life with a sense of purpose and gave me the confidence to accomplish anything I set my mind to.

Throughout all my years of education in elementary, math was the subject I hated the most, but now that I got older I realized that this subject has started to grow on me. Not until like about the 7th grade was it that I realized that math is really useful in life and I also realized that I wasn’t bad at math. The reason math interests me is because I like a challenge, if I don’t understand an equation I try to find out the steps myself and try to break down the steps in the equation in order to comprehend the problems. By doing this I ended up improving my analyzing skills. Because of my interest in math I gained an interest in the field of engineering. I looked further into the field of engineering by shadowing a mechanical engineer. I reached

I did not choose student option just for a few credits, I choose it for a new learning perspective. I want to experience how guidance counselors handle the paperwork and how a job in the counseling industry would work. I was always curious about how a counseling job would work. For example, everyday I see school advisors just talk to students and help them through tough issues and also minor school issues like scheduling and the students never get to see how the counselors get it put into Genesis. That really interest me because I love to learn why certain things go the way they go and how would they even get there. I want to learn and understand what a school counselor would have to go through daily.

“You are such a storyteller” my mom would tell me as a little girl, but little did we know storytelling would become my career path.

In looking back over my life and at the decisions that I have made, I can clearly see that some of the choices I have made were because of my daughter and the need to help other people. I married when I was young and was discouraged to seek employment and education even though I wanted too. There were many times that I would bring up education to my now ex-husband and he would tell me that I would not be good at that. When my daughter was born, my focus was on her until she was three years of age. At that point I began to want to work or go to school so my ex-husband found me a nice job at a church where I spent almost six years as a property supervisor. During this time the desire to go to college only grew inside me and

I read this quote a few years back, "You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.
