Personal Goals For College

As a child, just as many others, I had dreams of becoming something completely different than what my heart later desired as a young adult. During my childhood, I wanted to grow up to become a veterinarian. I had a passion for helping animals. My first job in the real world was a car-hop at a local Sonic Drive In. Within a few months of working at my current job I had quickly moved up the chain of command. I was thrilled about the new responsibilities and daily task. My interest on my long term goals began to change. I was intrigued by the knowledge I was learning on how to manage a crew, the responsibilities of a boss and the financial side of things. It wasn’t until many years later and a few other jobs that I actually decided to pursue a
business career.
After overcoming many challenges in life, I decided it was time to start on my business degree.
I did my research on a couple of universities to decide which school would best fit me. Bethel University’s online course fit with my work schedule and allowed me to gain a degree. I recently just graduated with a Bachelor’s in Organizational Leadership through Bethel University. Almost half-way through my completion of the Bachelor’s program, I had made my mind up on continuing my education further. One of my personal goals that I had set for myself would be to obtain the highest level of education for a business degree. Although there are many subsidiaries in the business world, I wanted to focus more on the management side of
things.
Three years ago I was blessed to become part of a very unique team at Martin Fastening.
In the beginning my job was very basic with minimum task which made the day seem forever long. It didn’t take long for me to take interest in other areas of the workforce. I’m very organized and highly detailed in my notes which allowed me to help others in their projects. During these three years, I’ve learned so much about the company, the people I work with, and the customers we serve. I’ve made personal connections with my customer. I think personal connections can make things run smoother and also gives the customer a sense of security. A customer is not viewed upon as a cash value but as family. In my eyes we help each other grow and at the end of the day, it’s a win-win for both sides. I’ve been given the privilege to train others in daily task and help manage some of our co-workers. It’s extremely important to have a positive attitude and the knowledge to lead others. Since my three years with the company I’ve really taken interest in how things are managed and are currently growing. I want to be a part of the continual growth within our
company.
I realize that I have the right mindset to obtain my career goals; I just need the right tools to help me get there. In obtaining my MBA-Executive Track I will be able to gain more pertinent knowledge which will help me in the business world. I’m extremely excited about getting started in the MBA program and especially taking the Managerial Accounting class. I have spent several weeks thinking over my career path and choices which I’m proudly writing you to say “I’m ready to make the next move!” I want to be a part of something bigger and meaningful. I have a bright future ahead of me and a long term career at Martin Fastening. I would like the opportunity to gain my MBA at Bethel University while utilizing my tools and knowledge with the people I work with. In obtaining my MBA degree, I plan to utilize my broaden skill set to better serve Martin Fastening as a whole.
