On a personal level, I am entering college to gain more knowledge to help me succeed in my future goals. I want to prove to my peers and my family that I can succeed in college and take college seriously. My family and peers thought that I would not take college seriously, but I am because I am aware of how expensive it is to go to college. I am also going to college to learn more about myself and who I am. During high school I was worried about what others would think of the real me. Only my close friends knew who the real me was. However, being at college everyone starts on a new page. My new peers are not concerned about what I did in high school, and like me for who I am now, the real me. Finally, during college I hope to be able to grow more as a person and to be able to succeed in college to have the job of my dreams.

On a professional level, I want to major in the field of business. I hope to learn enough information so that it will help me get the job that I want. I want to work for a big company and be able to work my way up the company. During college I want to do the best that I can. I certainly try my hardest so that I am able to succeed. A goal for me is to get a 4.0 GPA atleast once during college. I also want to be able to take as many job offers as I can. I want to do this because having many job's will enable me to build up my resume and show bigger companies that I have had excellent experience in the business field. I want companies to be asking me to work for them because I have done so well in school and done well in other companies. Above all I want to be known world wide for my achievements. In order to succeed in being known throughout the world, I will have to keep taking job offers to gain experience, and to studying hard in college to get those job offers.
