I came to Robert Morris as an undecided business major, but quickly discovered my passion for accounting. As I look toward my future, I know that pursuing a career in taxes is right for me. After completing Taxes I and II, I am eager to learn more in the field as I prepare for a tax internship with Price Waterhouse Coopers.
Throughout my past two and a half years at Robert Morris University, several opportunities have presented themselves allowing me to grow both intellectually and personally. The opportunity to complete my undergraduate and graduate work in four years is one of many. Robert Morris faculty has a unique will for students’ success. The professors at this university have influenced my decision to further my education at this
In the months preceding the start of my Federal Tax internship with KPMG, LLP this past summer, I had mixed expectations not only about the potentially difficult work I would be asked to complete, but also about how I would fit in at such a big and prestigious accounting firm with my limited experience and knowledge. In anticipation of my summer at KPMG, I would find myself searching the Internet for articles and forums with helpful advice for new coming “Big-Four” accounting interns and brushing up on some potentially helpful excel formulas. But, as my start date grew nearer, my nerves were progressively replaced with excitement and an eagerness to learn.
The primary reason I am applying to Molloy College is my desire to earn the education and qualifications in order to provide more involved care for my patients at work. I have known for some time that I have always wanted to be a nurse. Therefore, in April 2007 I enrolled in a program to become a certified nurse’s aide and earned my New York state certification in July 2007. I began working immediately at a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in November 2007; I also began working in a hospital starting April 2015. Being employed at both facilities is what led me to fall in love with a career in nursing, all while allowing me to gain a wonderful amount of experience caring for a diverse population as well as working with a diverse population of health care professionals.
Doing research on what is needed to become successful in the field of business has benefited me tremendously. Meeting with a Virginia Tech Alum was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The chance to meet with a Virginia Tech Alum to help model the plans I will make to become successful was an opportunity that I’m very thankful for and will never forget. Thanks to the insights of my research and guidance received from the alumni I met with, I intend to approach my next five years in the Pamplin College of Business in a much more organized and determined manner.

For as long as I can remember, I have always viewed life as an adventure. Sometimes this adventure is extraordinarily fulfilling and fun, while other times it can be a lot harder to keep trekking on. This outlook has shaped my life to what it is today, and it impacts the decisions I make now that will affect my future. When I began the college search, I really didn’t know what I was looking for. When I found George Fox University, I knew instantly that this was the place I could grow into the person I dreamed of being. By attending George Fox University, I hope to discover my faith, develop skills necessary to succeed and learn more about myself and the world, as well as contribute my diverse upbringing, leadership and strong values to the
Only three short weeks ago, I was presented with the opportunity to attend school at the University of Phoenix in order to complete my degree. While I was certain that continuing school was one of my goals, I was not sure if now was the best time. Despite my wavering feelings, I made the choice to proceed. Still, while making the decision to begin attending college, I never really considered my lifetime goals as they pertained to education. While I was set on the most obvious goal of finishing college and graduating with a degree, it still felt unsettling to begin college in general.
I’m tired of looking at the next person and wishing I was in their position. I’m tired of making excuses and pitying myself while letting opportunities slip away. From this moment onward, I am throwing away self doubt in order to take the coming steps in my life at Rutgers University. A Rutgers degree would not only mean a top tier education from one of the best schools in the world, more importantly, it would give me stability and a platform to go after my dreams. Through adversity and personal struggle after graduating high school in 2015, I have made an effort to never take opportunity lightly again. As a transfer student, It would be a humbling experience to learn new concepts and ideas while connecting with the diverse student
I have been given an awesome privilege to be able to call Hope College my home for the last four years. The memories I have had here will last a lifetime. From the friends I have developed with professors, students, to Phelps and Cook employees. I can honestly say that there has not been a bad experience with any of these people. It’s been awesome here at Hope! This experience has taught me many different life lessons and helped mold the legacy in which I feel I will leave behind when I am done. The legacy I want to leave behind entails one of respect, and hard working. I will tie all of these together will explicit examples from here at Hope and will end with how I plan to finish up on a positive note.
After being accepted to Longwood University, my family and I sat down to discuss my goals. During our conversation, my sisters questioned my ability to achieve these goals, while my parents inquired why Longwood University should play a role in my aptitude for higher education. To systematically answer most of their questions, my father Larry, my sister Candyce and I set out to attend a campus tour. It was that tour which made me I fell in love with the campus and community. Through Longwood University, I have received a community of people that sincerely care about my education, my family, my health, and my dreams. As I contemplate empowering the youth and setting a standard for future generations, I must advance to become a Longwood University Master of Business Administration via the MBAdvantage Program with a concentration in Real Estate.

My interest in the University of Tulsa is strengthened by the required practicum and field experience, as well as, excellent faculty and facilities. I intend to pursue a career in applied research and organizational consulting, therefore, these qualities are imperative to myself and my career.
First and foremost, the world-class accounting scholars, including distinguished accounting historian Stephen A. Zeff- a member of The Accounting Hall of Fame, attract me. Besides their outstanding academic achievement, the rigor and zeal to students also left me a deep impression, when professor Benjamin Lansford helped me to evaluate my prerequisites over email.
Starting my education at Westchester Community College was an upsetting prospect. The fact that I would not be able to have the “typical” college experiences that my peers would be having irked me. Unlike my friends, I was not excited to start my first year nor was I happy to still be living at home. So once I started my freshman year at WCC it was obvious that I wasn’t going to be optimistic about my ambitions as far as my grades and attitude were concerned. I have been outright disappointed with ...
My first goal is to continue my education by earning a Master’s degree in Accounting right after completing my bachelor’s degree. The MSU’s Accounting program attracts me for both its reputation and its career opportunities available for international students. It is my responsibility as a future accountant to be really familiar and proficient at the tools accountants use regularly. Achieving my master’s degree will also help me achieving my second goal of becoming a CPA by meeting the requirement of curriculum. Thus, I am professionally and academically motivated to earn a Master’s degree of Accounting at the Broad Business College.
At the start of my undergraduate education, I was taken aback by what I had ahead of me. Now finally out of high school, a bevy of opportunities suddenly sprang themselves upon me. I was faced with the questions of what classes to take, what to study, what to participate in, how to fend for myself, how to accomplish my goals, and countless others. After struggling with these monumental questions, I realized that, in fact, nothing had changed. I was still the same person I had always been, only now presented with much more opportunity and room to grow. Thus, rather than continuing to flounder in grandiose thought, I began to experience what only a university can offer, by embracing the infinite potential presented to me.
