Although culinary school was a rewarding experience, finding the right career path has proven to be no easy task. I went to school originally thinking I wanted to be an executive chef and own my own restaurant, but overtime my interests and passions changed drastically. After graduating from college, I embarked into the world of retail management. Working in the fashion industry gave me an opportunity to help people with their appearance by speaking to the world without saying a word. In my roles as both an assistant and store manager, I gained valuable experience on running a business and managing people. After working in retail for over ten years, I decided to make another career switch and have been working in insurance claims for the past two years. After assessing my life, I have come to realize that the insurance industry does not bring me any real satisfaction. I have chosen to apply to the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A) at Marymount University because getting a M.B.A degree will allow for more opportunities to further my skill set in running a successful business structure and provide me with more variety in career progression. My goal in applying to this program is not only to build on the skill sets that I have gathered with my hands on experience, but to …show more content…

A few days ago, I innocently happened upon what, according to the bakery sign, was an almond croissant. Delighted, I ordered one, and dreamily handed over my two dollars as memories of bustling Parisian streets and morning bakery smells drifted back to me. However, as I took my first bite a record screeched in my head, violently thrusting me out of my daydream and landing me back into the reality that I was not in Paris, but in the middle of the USA, eating what amounted to a dry piece of wonder bread with two barely distinguishable almond bits on top. Ah, Paris! If you were to ask me why one should live, visit, or return to Paris my answer would undoubtedly be, "Pastry."
But I’m a Cheerleader was released in 1999 by lesbian director Jamie Babbit. This movie is centered around the 17 year old highschooler Megan Bloomfield, portrayed by Natasha Lyonne, and Graham, played by Clea Duvall. This 85-minute movie, labeled as a comedy and romance, still provides comedic relief 25 years after its release. Despite its label as a comedic romance, the film revolves around a much more threatening topic for queer people: conversion therapy. However, that is why I think most queer people

America is a capitalist society. It should come to a surprise when we live like this daily. We work for profit. We’ll buy either for pleasure or to sell later for profit. It should come to no surprise that our food is made the same way because we are what we eat. We are capitalist that eat a capitalist meal. So we must question our politics. Is our government system to blame for accepting and encouraging monopolies?

In my research I discovered that Business Administration is not considered a concentration in every college, but for those that offer the degree, it is simply offered without a concentration. The BME degree can provide me with a multitude of career opportunities at my current place of work or in other types of organizations and sectors.

With a career in business administration I can manage, direct, and organize the day-to-day functions of an organization and follow processes to meet organizational

My favorite meal is the chicken fettuccini pasta. I chose this dish because I can never stop eating it. The meal is made up of warm tenderized chunks of chicken, delicate smooth creamy white sauce, and many varieties of sliced up vegetables. However, when I was a child vegetables has always been difficult to eat. It prevented me from enjoying my favorite meal because I would always have to take out the mixed vegetables in the meal. As a child I 've tried avoiding vegetables, but was found throughout the school cafeteria 's food, my mother 's cooking, or many fancy restaurants. There was nowhere to run. Over the years, my mother knew I was struggling to eat vegetables. She worked very hard by coming up with her own recipes in order for me to eat healthy. From mixing in the vegetables into the meals I usually eat or to trick me into eating meat but was actually vegetables. Soon later I came to realize how much effort she has put into the meals.
