Wina was able to have a better chance of applying for more companies because a business major is more abroad. Not only did it bring economic benefits, but it helped in a way that she could become more confident since she persevered and achieved her dream of earning a degree. Also, she learned a lot of college lessons during those years and is able to practice it in real life, In the end, interviewing my mom, Wina Bailey, helped me understand and learn from her mistakes and how college is a huge benefit of being successful in life. The last message my mom presented to me is to go to college right after high school, get it done right away, and take advantage of opportunities whether it’s tutoring or being able to retake a test, Nonetheless, “ Time management is the utmost, once you get that down you won’t be overwhelmed” this allows any college student to be prioritized and have a “better flow” when it comes to school or college work.

Before my sophomore year I found out that I was pregnant with my son. I decided to take a year away from school to embrace being a new mom before going back to school. Being a new mom and working I found it very hard to go back in the classroom so I a decided to finish out school online. I begun online classes at Everest College online. During this time I also relocated to Albany New York where I obtained my Associate degree in Business administration from Everest College online.
I love seeing the people around me succeed, because of this I often find myself going above and beyond to help my peers whenever they need help with their school work or extra-circulars. I am, by nature, a very determined person so many times I will help my peers not only complete their assignments but I make sure they understand what the class is teaching so they are able reach their highest potential, and I am willing to do my best to make that
Growing up on the border of inner city and suburban lifestyle I have seen many different things. The struggles, the triumphs, setbacks, but also the amazing comeups in life. Throughout everything that I have seen, I always wanted to help those who had fallen get back up and be one of the many people who encouraged and advocated for the ones who succeeded. My passion has stayed true for years to be the helping hand for my community and those generations who will come after me.
Congratulations, you have the unwavering commitment to go back to school. That degree is on the horizon and you’re willing to devote a great deal of time to studying but your
The path that has led me to pursue a career in the medical field started about five years ago. In 2010 I was informed by my employer about downsizing our hourly employees and possible relocation for managers. At this time I was also told I would be expected to earn my MBA and eventually relocated because they would be eliminating my department at the current location. It was a goal of mine to go return to school but at this point I was not sure if wanted to continue in my current field. Being an accountant and an assistant controller I earned a very good living and I was successful at my job but never felt passionate or enjoyed my job.
Something such as returning back to school was long gone and in my past goals. After a couple of years I never thought I would end up going back to school since everything that I wanted was going good and according to plan. However sometimes we are faced with tough situations where we must find other resources in order to improve and better ourselves. Going back to school was one of the most important and wise decisions that I have ever made. Finding well-qualified candidates for a job or career nowadays is a challenge, especially in the field that I am currently in; law enforcement.
My skills show in my classes by setting a good example for others while still being laidback. My leadership shows through my character by giving people encouragement when they don’t believe in themselves. I like to help in any way I can as I don’t like seeing people struggle. I want them to feel better and be confident in who they are.
Finding motivation to attend college is easy, keeping the motivation to finish is the difficult part. I decided to enroll in college to earn my Bachelor’s degree in Business with a concentration in Finance. I hope that the degree will give me the opportunity to apply for a better position within the organization that I currently work for. A secondary goal of returning to school is to demonstrate to my son that attending college is required for many jobs and that returning to school as an adult has various difficult challenges. I have been working for the past nine years as an Assistant Financial Officer and am highly competent at my job.
As a first generation student to attend college from a family of seven, the journey to a higher education has been arduous and overwhelming. My family gives me all the encouragement I need and are very optimistic about pursuing a higher degree. Unlike myself, my parents did not have the opportunity to attend college. My parents were born and raised in a small town in Mexico where the highest level of education they received was fifth grade. I have worked since I was 14 years old to support my parents with bills, and also saving for college and my own vehicle.
Ever since I was little, I have had a passion for helping people. No matter what I am doing in the moment, I am always willing to put it on hold for the person in need. If a fellow classmate needs help with a homework problem, I am gladly willing to explain the problem to help them better understand the content. For me, it is such a humbling experience to see the person finally comprehend the subject material after I help them. Throughout my life, technology has assisted me in helping out the people around me.
I have always been the type of person that receives an immense amount of gratification from helping others. I believe this goal is realistic due to my preconception of the career, love for helping others and experience. I've always loved helping other, so when I made it to middle school I joined an organization called builders club were we gave back to the community in various
The phrase: “Helping others is the way we help ourselves” from Oprah Winfrey inspired me to choose this profession. Helping people solve their problems, giving them the opportunity to let off steam and share their feelings through confidential talks makes this profession unique and exceptional. I have abilities and values, such as: persistence, kindness, and loyalty, that are highlighted and essential to this job. Also, I have a plan that I will already start following it because this is what I want to be.
