When I was eight, I wanted to be the President. I believe it started as a joke; an adult at some point laughed off my “bossy attitude” by saying that one day I should run for office. The joke, however, was lost on me and I was enchanted by the idea. Once I got a little bit older, though, adults would brush me off by saying my dream wasn‘t reasonable. Instead of encouraging me, they often compared my chances of being President to the chances I had of being a princess. This didn’t make sense to me, and no one seemed to be able to tell me why I couldn’t be President, so I ignored them.
Although my specific desire to be the President faded over the course of my childhood, the resolve I carried with me for so long had stuck, and pushed me into adolescence one step ahead of my peers where it kept me from letting go of the future I knew I could reach. I resolved that I never needed to let anyone else decide for me if I was capable of doing

something, or whether or not my dream was valid enough to try. If I know myself well enough to choose what I do with my life, and if I am prepared to work for it, why should I settle for anything less? If you asked my mother, she would tell you that from an early age my thirst for knowledge about world issues was all but unquenchable. This was likely a direct result of her own appetite for politics and the news, which grew exponentially after the attack on September 11th. From then on, I was taught that ignorance is inexcusable and that you can never know too much about the world around you. I constantly sought out more information, and my passion for awareness grew. Today I believe the same, which is why I seek a future in business and politics.
From the research I‘ve done, I’ve determined that studying Economics will not only give me a perfect union between the two fields, but it will also give me a variety of career options in my area of interest that no other major will. As a currently aspiring lobbyist with an intense fascination for the political world, a degree in Economics would provide me with the skill set I need to have a career there.
My mother always told me that I should never hold myself back, and that I should never go anywhere that would limit me. Consequently, I have challenged myself to succeed wherever I am able, and have maintained the notion that as long as I strive to meet my goals, I am capable. I know that in the School of Business, there would be no limitations. I would be pushed perhaps further than I’ve ever thought to push myself, and would therefore learn more than I ever thought possible, which is what I crave. There is, in fact, no reason that I could not be
President.
Throughout different era’s and periods of time the American dream has slightly varied, but the ultimate end goal remains the same; based on independence, a need for freedom, and the ability and desire to achieve greatness in one’s lifetime
Becoming a president isn't as easy as we may think.It takes a lot of time and is a big process and involves many people to decide on If he or she will be right for the job.
There are currently 15,400 economists in the United States, with 580 new economist job openings created each year (“What careers follow the economics baccalaureate?”). A smart economists would look at the number of future jobs and compare that to the number of people graduating in that area before deciding that it probably isn’t a great career choice for the average person.
I strive to do my best in all of my classes, but I am most successful in those classes that interest me. I have grown up in a family business, My parents have run a very successful furniture business for my entire life. And after my parents divorce three years ago, my mom let me aid in the creation of her own furniture business. From traveling to furniture markets, speaking with professionals and furniture business own...
Until recently the possibility of achieving the dream had been within reach. However, recently the youngest generations of Americans did not and are not growing up with this idea. America’s youth, made up of teenagers and young adults, especially those of color, are not able to reach their American Dream with the same relative ease that past generations were able to do so.
“A good education is a foundation for a better future.” ~ Elizabeth Warren. The reasoning behind why I want to go to college is to better my future. I am considered one of the first generation in my family to go to college, putting a lot of meaning behind why I believe I should go on to a different path. From a very young age I have always held high expectations of myself, even of the numerous changes in careers I had obtained an interest in. I have always envisioned myself going to college because I certainly value education. I believe that the more education I receive, the more valuable I am to this generation of the work force. Not only does my passion of learning hold place in the reasoning behind why I want to go to college, but because of my role models growing up. My parents both encourage me on a daily basis to go to college, and have encouraged my initiative to seek more in life. My father once explained that he once had this opportunity to receive a free ride to college but decided to stay home and start a family. He of course never looked back or regretted his decision because if not I wouldn 't be here today, but he encouraged me to take on these amazing offers and
I’m a student at Tompkins Cortland Community College this is my first semester as a college student. I plan to go to college for four years and only be at TC3 for this one semester, then transfer to a four year school. College has grown around the world more than ever and more people are attending college more than ever. I have chosen to go to college because of the rewards after graduation. Yes it is another four years of school but by getting more education and an extended degree gives me more opportunities for better jobs and more money. The career I have chosen to study is business administration. I am hoping that it takes me to a great job managing a company or possibly being an accountant.
The crucial importance and relevance of economics related disciplines to the modern world have led me to want to pursue the study of these social sciences at a higher level. My study of Economics has shown me the fundamental part it plays in our lives and I would like to approach it with an open mind - interested but not yet fully informed.
Presidential campaigns are a crucial time in a democratic country—a time to carefully consider what it is that matters to us, the populace, and who we feel is most fit to represent us. We choose a leader that we hope will address the issues we deem important as well as serve the best interests of the country. We have to try to look above the partisan lines and look at the candidate’s character to choose someone that is truly up to the task. It is critically important that our elected president possess certain attributes in order to lead effectively. Some of those attributes, in my opinion, are humility, confidence, and honesty.
Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.
However, law is not my sole academic interest. I am also drawn to subjects involving the big bucks- that is, economics. I became familiar with money at an early age by selling Girl Scout cookies to the locals. I took it a step further as a teenager with a job at Wendy’s, where I have learned firsthand about productio...
Education has always been a primary concern for my parents, who taught me that if I need to succeed in life, I have to be educated. Following their guide, I have always valued and tried to get the most of any educational opportunity I have had. Having grown up in a business family, I have always been interested in focusing my career in the business field. My Mother and Father own their own company, and they are constantly talking about business, which has inspired me to follow their path. When my parents retire, they want me to carry on their legacy. For this reason, I have decided to pursue my studies in the field of Business and Leadership at Marylhurst University. I want to pursue a well-rounded education at this established university where I also can have life experiences in the outside world, which will ultimately help me to become a successful leader in our family business.
In today's world, economics associated disciplines are of fundamental significance and application and this has encouraged me to pursue a degree in Economics. Economics has an important relevance in all of our lives. As consumers we try to make the best of our limited incomes. As workers we take our place in the job market. As citizens of a country our lives are affected by the decisions of our government: decisions over taxes, decisions over spending on health and education, decisions on interest rates, decisions that affect unemployment, inflation and growth. As dwellers on the planet Earth we are affected by the economic decisions of each other: the air we breathe, the water we drink and the environment we leave for future generations are all affected by the economic decisions taken by the human race. It is these stimulating issues that excite me about economics. I enjoy studying Economics enormously and believe my passionate interest in economics is continually strengthened by my regular reading of 'The Economist'
As a child, have you ever been asked what do you want to be when you grow up? When I was little, all I ever wanted to do was open up my own dance company. I chose to study Business Administration because I love the feeling of being an in professional and sophisticated manner. I really feel as though choosing the business field was the best option I ever made for myself because I’m getting the opportunity to show many people out there how professional I can be and also the skills I have as a person.
Often times, I can’t help but wonder what my life would be like if I haven’t been exposed to the world of business; a wonderful career that changed my life completely. I have taken interest in business career because I love calculating numbers and interacting with people; But most importantly, my fascination in business came from my grandfather. He taught me many valuable tips on how to be a successful person, and most certainly how to run a business. He was not only a successful businessman, but also a respected individual. One of the businesses that he owned was a company called “Wu Long Tea Factory”. The main thing that they produce is tea of course, but they also have products such as cakes, candies, and all kinds of stuff. By being the production manager’s assistant of this company, I was able to experience everything that was going on in the factory. Even though that was the background I grew up in, my biggest fascination wasn’t in being a manager in a factory; it was the finance part that got me all excited. Often times I can even see myself sitting in my office and work on clients’ financial profiles and statements. I also took extra math classes and participated in many of the competitions in order to prepare myself to succeed in this particular field. Other things that I also did to get me well prepared are joining school activities, applying internships, and having jobs. I believe that all my hard work will pay off, when I see myself as a successful businessman.
