Management and Leadership
My ultimate goal is to become an accounting instructor in a high school or a school of higher learning such as a technical college or university. After achieving my bachelor’s degree in accounting I would like to peruse my masters in accounting and eventually a teaching certificate.

By completing my bachelor’s degree, I will have taken one more step to achieving my goal. I currently have 25yrs of accounting and financial experience working for various different industries. I also was fortunate to own my own entertainment business where I learned to apply my leadership and financial skills. Another plan is to volunteer, once I complete my bachelor’s degree program. I feel that by volunteering with various types or organizations, I can learn to apply the natural leadership skills I feel I already possess and hone the skills that I have learned in this course. Also, by spending time volunteering, I can apply what I have learned through the years of working in a formal job and expand my teaching skills upon others with my knowledge and leadership style. This will allow me to see within myself what leadership traits I possess that are strong and what leadership trait I possess that need to be strengthened and what leadership traits I do not possess at all that I will need to learn in order to obtain my goal in becoming a teacher and educator.
One aspect, which I feel is a positive one for me, is the incorporation of the style approach
