Allowing ones personal aspirations to fall victim to lifes hardships may be a desirable solution, but also a costly sacrifice. It takes perseverance, drive, and passion to rise above difficulties. My goal is simple: intellectual enrichment and the use of my knowledge to help those in need of a helping hand. My life experiences have helped me to appreciate the value of this goal, and look forward to reaching it.
The college education that I am seeking goes beyond credentials in that it must first and foremost enrich my mind and spirit, and support my belief in continuous learning. My desire is to be challenged and gain an experience that I can build upon for the future. In order to achieve these goals, I feel the need to be educated in an environment that fairly tests the values that I have been taught, and hopefully substantiates many of them. I am also seeking an environment that rewards and adjudicates my performance, while allowing me the opportunity to expand my thinking to include new ideas and a creative thought process, and a system that teaches me to apply the abundance of data that is available.
I want a college life that provides a balance of extracurricular activities that foster relationships and fellowships with persons of various backgrounds from an educational institution that I will identify with, commit to, and be loyal to for the rest of my life. I feel confident that such a rich environment, along with excellent academics and my hard work, will not only distinguish me from the educational perspectives of my competitors in the job market, but also provide me with a wealth of knowledge and experience that I will use to enrich the lives of my children and hopefully their children.
