Short Term Education Goals
For some reason, ever since I began classes in high school, any class that had anything to do with business has always stood out to me. It all began when I took global business my freshmen year. Due to that class and the several other business classes I’ve taken because of it, whenever asked “what I want to be when I grow up?” “business management” has always been the answer. But I’ve also always had a huge passion for sports, both playing and watching. This zeal for sports should be credited to my father, who always took the time to bring me and my sisters to sporting events since we were very young. My intrigue in business combined with my love for sports has got me to chose a career in sports management. Specifically, representing athletes. …show more content…
I started off high school not trying the hardest and being lazy. A quick look at my freshmen and sophomore grades will show that. But reality hit me my junior year and I didn’t feel like ending high school with the grades I had been getting. I began working harder at my school work and the better grades followed. I now know what hard work does for the grades and I’m dedicated to improve my gpa before I graduate. My long term education goals would be attending the University of Wisconsin Whitewater. I really enjoy everything involving business and finances and would like to get a degree in general business. While there I would also like to minor in sports management and, if possible, business

I am also planning on declaring a minor, either for accounting or finance. As of now, I have a B average for my classes that are required for my major. Although, I did not have the best grades for my general education classes. I know I need to improve my grades the next year. I believe I need to work harder because the business world is very competitive, and mediocre grades will not get me far.…

    For many college athletes, the lure of playing pro sports is intoxicating. Dreams of fancy cars, luxurious homes, tailor-made suits, voluptuous women, and the mental images of a crowded stadium chanting their name is enough for any collegiate athlete to think about abandoning their education for a chance at stardom. When the dreams are solidified with million dollar contracts, think immediately is replaced by impulse. Left behind in the frenzy is the much needed college education that no one seems to care about any more. An athletes only hope is to complete a college education first for what life's lessons has to offer later when hard-knocks is the final exam.…

    December 13th 2014 was one of the best days in my life. I still recall seeing my son and family in the stands as the president of the university mentioned for the family of the graduates to stand up and be recognized. I worked so hard that year and I was able to reach my goal and I am extremely proud of myself for that. As you can see in my transcript the last year I obtained above a 3.0 GPA in every semester. I am confident that if accepted I will work hard and do everything in my power to excel to the best of my abilities. My plan to raise my GPA is to organize myself and set time every day to study and go over class material. I understand that the graduate program is more difficult but I am determined to apply myself and get the grades needed to be successful. I look forward to learning a lot more in detail about my career field.

    I entered school in August of 2009 and did not focus on my studies. After just one year my GPA was a 1.376, because I did not have the drive that I had in high school to succeed. After a couple of years away from Texas Christian University, while attending a 2-year college, I realized what I wanted to do with my life, sparking the motivation I had been searching for. I then decided to return to TCU and fix my awful GPA, which I managed to do with hard work, determination, and appropriate priorities. After one year of nonstop studying and focus, I have managed to raise my GPA to a 2.777, removing myself from academic probation and qualifying for opportunities I was not eligible before. This was difficult for me because I also work part-time…

    Before attending community college, high school proved to be difficult in a very unexpected way. In my experience, high school failed to present any challenge. I quickly became more interested in things other than schoolwork, which was seemingly repetitive and irrelevant to my goals. Thus, at the start of my Junior year of highschool, I made a critical decision that affected me academically thereafter. Enrolling as a full-time Running Start student at Everett Community College immediately introduced me to a fast-paced learning environment that was more suitable to my goals pertaining to business. Quickly, my grades improved and I became passionate about the things I studied, in both business and nonbusiness courses. However, being a Running…
