My professional Goals
Michelle Jackson
It’s been 11 years since I was in school. I had no choice but to leave. Uncle Sam said I had to go away for a year. Luckily I was able to finish the spring semester before my year long trip to the sand. I enjoyed my experience overseas and felt that I wanted to do it full time and help others. When I came home I got an active duty job with the Army helping wounded Soldiers. I spent nine years doing what I loved. When my time was up on active duty I decided I was going to continue my education and finish my degree. But before I do that I wanted to spend some good quality time with my son. Being in the army is demanding and gave me little time to spend with him.
I changed my major a few times when I was in school all those years ago. With all my army training in the Human Resources field I decided to pursue a degree in Business Management. One goal I have is within this next year I hope to have a better understanding of the business management field through the classes I’ll be taking. I don’t want to be one of those people that just takes a class and gets nothing out of it. I look forward to being challenged and putting my mind to work.
Since the army is a big and very important part of my life another goal is to bring what I learn in my classes to my army career. I have fourteen years of army training but I believe civilian education can improve me as a Soldier and leader in the army. And who knows maybe once I have my bachelor’s degree I will go to Officer Candidate School and become a Commissioned Officer in the Army. Having my degree gives me this option, one I never had before.
I have a roommate who is also in the army and we have been talking about starting a business together. Between the both of us we have some knowledge, but getting a degree in business management would definitely put us in the right direction. Even before I get my
