Statement Of Purpose For A Career As An Athletic Director
The question I have been asked an excessive amount of times in my life is, “What do you want to do after high school?” For many years I did not know the answer to that common question. I started to become aggravated with myself, and I felt like I was not prepared enough for my near future. One day, it clicked with me on what I intended on pursuing as a career.
For the last three years I have been a student aid for the High School Athletic Director at my school. I'm intrigued by athletics and I'm passionate about being particularly organized. I found delight in spending an hour every day doing tasks to help out the Athletic Program. Aimlessly, I was learning skills that I hope to carry on for the rest of my life. The Athletic Director that I have been helping suggested that one day I should become an Athletic Director myself. At that moment, it all came together for me. I realized that what I have been enjoying everyday for the past three years of my life, is what I want to pursue in and continue doing. I believe in finding a career that you are so fond upon it doesn't ever seem like a job. I aim to take that much pleasure in being an athletic director. Like everyone, I have always had goals and aspirations throughout my life. There is more to goals and aspirations than

One of my all time favorite quotes is from Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see in the world.” That is my lifelong goal. To be the change I want to see in the world. One person can make a difference if they put in the effort to do so. I plan to execute my set goal by pushing myself daily to simply have a good day. Giving out compliments to others, hoping to brighten their day. People fail to do so many simple things in life that can make dramatic changes. If you are able to inspire someone by a simple act of kindness, such as holding a door open, they might continue the trend in hopes of making someone else feel inspired as

    Everyone is asked one question, at a very young age. That question is: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” There isn’t a time I can remember when an adult didn’t ask me this question. When I was six, I would respond with the usual movie star, fashion designer, or veterinarian. My answer would be said confidently, as at this age I walked through life as if it were no big deal. My answer occasionally changed to fit with my many childhood phases, but my view on the question stayed the same. When I was a child, I replied to this inquiry the same way everyone else did; I answered with an occupation. It took me years to discover my new approach to this question. My new response did not include my dream job, but how I saw myself in the future.…

    [A] Countless psychological studies show the truth: hope, dreams, and goals are the psychological vehicles driving success. [B] In Of Mice and Men, the dream is to leave the life of work and travel behind and live on a ranch, in War Dance, the goal is to do well at the national music competition, and in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Walter Mitty hopes for a more interesting life in a series of daydreams, to ultimately find that he has been living the true daydream.

    Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world. " This quote means that whatever you want to change in the World, think of the World like that. Lots of people have changed our world in good or bad ways but one significant change and one person that I always remember when I talk about change is Martin Luther King Jr. The change that he made was making all races and colors equal.…

    I recall being asked by my relatives: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and instead of an answer I would give them a blank stare. I had no idea how to respond. Not because there was nothing I found appealing, but because I felt passionate about too many things. I loved music, math, design, helping others, working with kids, analyzing situations and solving problems. There were to many career paths that I liked, but it always seemed to me that in order to follow one I would have to give up the rest.…

    Through developing goals in life, an individual is able to identify and recognize that something of importance needs to be achieved. For some it may be harder to achieve goals than others but this is partly due to the lack of perseverance or grit.

    It’s easy to make a goal rather than to achieve it. However, with determination one can succeed in accomplishing it. I have accomplished one of many goals in my list and that's to attend college. In my family not a lot attended college or even finished high school, so accomplishing this goal is a big subject of matter to my family.Getting this far is even a big accomplishment in my eye’s, especially when you break free from an assembly line of generations that never had attended college. The feeling is still overwhelming, mainly because I’m the first of many generations in my family to accomplish something big like…

    As a high school student there’s a lot of work and event’s going on. Whenever someone says “so what are you doing after high school”? I always say I don’t know. Sometimes it helps me to think what I don’t want to do and it narrows it down for me. My dad has been in the fire department for 30 years and he’s always saying I should follow in his footsteps. I would love to commit to a job like everyone else, but I feel like once I get older my mind will change. My post-secondary goals are still unclear, but not because I don’t know what to do. It seems like there are a lot of careers I would fit into and would excel at. So why would I commit to one now. By the end of high school, I will pursue a career and I can see if I like it or not. I have spent my whole childhood thinking about playing college football but I don’t really see a…

    Through one question I realized this great truth: what do you want to be when you grow up? For the longest time, I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up. What did it matter to me anyway? I was a kid (well, I suppose I still am) and didn’t like any of the generic jobs they told us about in elementary school. Police force, teachers, fireman, none of them interested me. Then, in middle school, my life changed, a lot. I got completely new friends, after the old ones left me behind. I slowly started to become more and more enclosed, I spent most of my time out of school alone. As I developed into this over-dramatic teenage state, life suddenly became meaningless. I would often find myself sitting bored in my room, mindlessly surfing the internet or playing videogames. I slowly started to hate it; it was like I could feel my brain melting inside my head. I needed to find a more constructive hobby, and so I found myself musical instruments and started creating more and more music every day.…
