Recommended: Personal academic goals

What I believe makes me stand out as a strong candidate for admissions to the University of California is the desire I have to learn. I believe there’s a difference between wanting to learn and having the need to learn. Most people continue their education in order to get it over with and pursue their career, but there’s other people who have a passion for learning. Some people want to know everything there is to a topic to be aware of any situations that may occur and to have more knowledge on said topics. I am one of those people who has a passion for learning. Although it may not ideal, I give up everything in order for me to be able to continue my education. I try my best to not miss a day of school for an appointment that is not needed

Education doesn’t end after high school, so I plan to attend university, eager to attain the knowledge to better understand my world: and expand it.

  • Admissions Essay: The Plain Truth

    509 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I first started to apply to colleges I just told the truth about who I was. I did not try to put on a courageous act. I just wanted them to see that I may be just as qualified as anyone else, but the difference between us is that I want it so badly. I really did not care where I got accepted; I just wanted to go to college and be someone. Just being there would be a chance to prove that I am worth taking a second look at. See, I am not a rich girl who has always gotten what I wanted, and because I want this so badly, I don't want anyone to take it from me. I worked hard to be who I am, and the great part about it is that I have ambition and I am a goal reacher.

  • MBA Admissions Essays - An Entrepreneurial Passion

    My love for business is not something I was born with. It took over a decade of experience and exploration to discover my passion. This discovery began ten years ago when I accepted a position at The Pitney Bowes Corporation. My job was to make unsolicited phone calls to prospective businesses in order to sell our base model postage meter. All that was required was reading a script, word for word, to potential buyers. Yet, after a week of working at Pitney Bowes, I still didn't know important details about the meter, like what it looked like, and how it actually operated. My manager acted a bit surprised when I asked to see the meter, but she agreed, and I took a walk to an adjacent building where I saw first hand what I was selling. It looked completely different from what I had expected, but by viewing and touching it first hand, my ability to convey to people what I was offering improved dramatically. Once I viewed the device, I felt more confident to adlib on the sales pitch. In a couple of weeks reading my hybrid pitch led to a higher rate of sales. People were more apt to buy from someone who sounded like a person and less like a robot. My sales steadily improved and in my third month I was the number one sales person out of over 200 employees. Management implemented some of my changes in the selling process and as a result, overall sales of the entry model postage meter increased significantly.
