My objectives for returning to school are to fulfill my personal and business goals by increasing my knowledge and gaining skills to become an asset to my company and family. I need the challenge and stimulation that learning offers me to enhance my self- esteem, which will enable me to handle conflict in the workplace. My main goal for increasing my knowledge base is to make a difference in the lives of others. Financial stability is also important aspect when making the decision to return to school.
Education is a tool to achieve many goals. Learning gives me the challenge I need for self – enrichment and to expand my awareness by helping me understand the corporate world. It will also enhance my self-esteem and bestow pride in what I have accomplished. Someone told me once that Knowledge is something that can not be taken away from you.
Financial stability is a factor for gaining more skills that will help me become more marketable in the workplace. By increasing my knowledge base it will benefit me in obtaining a promotion. Being a single mother with two children has been very demanding and my expectations for providing for them is essential.
One of my main skills that I need to obtain is to learn how to handle conflict. Conflict is a difficult subject for me to deal with. I hate confrontation and have a hard time adapting to those types of situations. My way of dealing with confrontation is by not dealing with it at all. Its not that I am fearful, but I cant understand why some people are unable to be a team player and that we are all trying to reach the same goal.
My children have been a big reason why I am furthering my education. I want to set a good example by being sound role model. With the hope, that my accomplishments will enable them to become successful adults.
