After many years performing jobs that required much more physical endurance than mental ability, I realized that a change was overdue. I always had a knack for numbers and words but, unfortunately, I had not attended college after graduating from high school with New York state regent’s diploma with majors in Mathematics and Business. Instead, I went directly into the workforce. Through the years I changed jobs a few times; However, my most recent positions brought two things to my attention. The first was the fact that my body was no longer suited for physically demanding jobs. The second was that I still had a strong desire to use my mental skills and natural abilities in a career that would be beneficial to myself and my employer.

                For these reasons, I finally decided to attend college to receive a degree that would allow me to fulfill this desire. I started at Bryant & Stratton college with the intent on receiving a diploma as an accounting assistant. Although I have achieved that goal, I felt that I should push on as I was quite sure that I was capable of much more. Shortly, I will be graduating with an associate degree in business administration. I am confident that the combination of my previous skills, acquired work-related knowledge, accounting assistant diploma and an associate degree will open many doors for me where I will be able to excel in my position and become a great contribution to my future employer.

Learned writing skills used academically and in the workplace.

Helpful for accounting and basic academic advancement.

Improved my understanding of business management.

This project was quite helpful to my understanding of business principals and oral presentations.

I strongly desire to obtain a position of responsibilities that utilizes my skills and experience with a well-established company; to become a life-long member of a proficient team within a well-structured working environment. Reaching this goal would satisfy both personal and professional needs that I currently have.
