My Goal-Personal Narrative My goal, upon finishing my graduate studies, was to obtain a position in a large corporation. I received and accepted an offer from Koc Holding, a diversified conglomerate, and began my professional career as a project engineer at the company's Energy and Environment group headquarters. I believe that the same perseverance and determination that enabled me to attain these goals will allow me to contribute my unique background to XXX's dynamic student body. In addition, I will share with my fellow students my unusual experiences, such as founding an Environment Club while at college, while drawing on my proven ability to motivate others towards a common goal. I have also acquired specific, practical skills that will allow me to pool my resources with those of fellow students. I am quite skillful with several software applications (including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). At my company, I am often asked to prepare presentations at meetings. Although we have information center at the headquarters, coworkers frequently come to me first when they encounter problems with their PCs. My adaptability skills come in handy even in the workplace: I have learned to function smoothly despite unpredictable social, economic, and cultural conditions. During the process of energy privatization, I played a crucial role in my company's new line of business regarding lignite-fired thermal power plants. I have worked both on the environmental end and on the legislative and economic ends of those projects in order to gain a "big picture" of privatization. The insight that these experiences have given me into unpredictable emerging market issues -- and especially the energy sector privatization in Turkey -- has proved invaluable and I look forward to sharing it with my classmates. Over the course of these experiences, I have worked with many different people, which has strengthened my communication skills. I am able to express myself well by adapting my communication style to specific people or audiences. I have no doubt that these abilities will come in useful in moderating group discussions or disagreements. After all, as a successful project engineer, I have represented my company at various meetings in London, Germany, and the United States -- a range of experiences rather unusual for someone in his first years at a Turkish company. The Case Study method used at XXX School may pose new challenges for some candidates; I, however, became familiar with this method during my professional certificate program.
There are many things that I hope to accomplish and do when I get older. I want to improve and accomplish different things for myself in my career that I choose, in my material goals, and spiritually. I'm looking at the year of 2009, I will be out of college and be on my feet, hopefully. I have high expectations for myself and hope to accomplish as many of my dreams and goals as I can throughout my life.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you someone else is the greatest accomplishment.” This quote is by Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was a man who always put his education as a top priority, so I highly admire him. As I read this quote, I realized that my greatest accomplishment is something that I am constantly progressing and excelling in, my education. There are three reasons that I will explain as to why my education is my greatest accomplishment. First, education has never been a factor in any of my family member’s lives. Secondly, it took a long time for me to get on track with my educational values. Lastly, I will explain how far my education has gotten me.
In the past twenty years I have experienced different aspects of life that have shaped me into who I am today. I have had personal experiences, moments with friends, and indirect encounters.

Throughout my life, many factors have influenced and shaped me into the young woman I am today. I am an active member of many cultures, and continue to learn and adopt numerous values, traditions, and morals from each. There are certain cultures people are born into, and others that are chosen by people at various stages of their life.

Cultures I was born into include the female culture, the Caucasian American culture, and my unique family culture. As for those which I have elected to become a member of include things such as the soccer culture, the Concordia
It's hard for me to say where I'll be in the years to come, already my life has strayed from the path I once thought it would follow. However, that doesn't change my motivation or determination to reach and excel at my personal goals. My whole life I've endured a system that dictated what should be important to me, and while it's helped me learn the practical skills I need outside of an academic setting, I have a passion to grow further from what's expected of me, and so with much enthusiasm I look forward to attending college in which I hope to achieve more by constantly learning and expanding my personal knowledge.

The one person who has influenced my life the most is my dance teacher from middle school, Mrs Linden. Mrs Linden is the dance teacher at Sunnymead Middle School, and has taught there for many years. She was my dance teacher for all three years that I was there, as she inspired me alot. My life has changed for the better since I met her because she has taught me to fight for what I want and to not give up on something I love which is dance. She believed in me when many did not.
The struggle of getting up every morning early to get an education because being a drop out will not get myself very far in life and will not please that expensive taste of mine. Attending school tired and sometimes with no sleep. Having problems going on at home and being sick sometimes can make it so challenging but the ambition for success and making something out of one self is so real. Being raised in a family where failure is not an option has helped me be the young lady I am today who is full of significant responsibilities ambitions and dreams of making it big. Living the dream and making all the times I have woken up early and worked my bottom off worth it.

My search took about three weeks. I began my research by doing some background reading in the Encarta online encyclopedia. That site provided a definition of the term asthma, information on how the lungs function, the causes of asthma attacks, and the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Statistics on the number of Americans with the disease were included in the article. Most of the information, including the statistics was supported by the information in the Merck Manual of Medical Information.
Three of my personal SMART goals would be Specific, Measurable, and Realistic. Being Specific is a must because I have learned that whatever you put your mind to do, you can do it. If I want to make an “A” in University Success, then I know I must do my work and push to make that “A” rather than saying I want a good grade. Specific goes along with my reason for attending college. I have specific goals in life that I would love to complete and therefore I have to do the work that comes along with it. Being Measurable allows me to stay on track with everything. With my life goals I know by the age of 23 no later than the age of 24 I would like to have my degree to work on bigger things , I set my target and this pushes me to have this completed.
My sister and her friend decided to do exercises with the ROTC, just because they want to be in shaped. They invited me many times but I never wanted to go because I don’t have any intention to go to the Army. I finished my baccalaureate in psychology and began collecting information with the census while waiting for answers from a medical school in the Dominican Republic. I met up with a friend who told me that she has an appointment with a recruiter from the National Guard and she wants me to go with her. In the end, something happened to her and she never got to the appointment. The recruiter tried to recruit me but I never entered the National Guard because it was not connection between us. I went with the recruit SFC Noe Cruz, with the
What do you want to be when you grow up? That’s always the question that is asked the youth. What was your answer? Was it the same answer throughout your life? Because mine was not. It changed every year. From a vet to working with children until high school when I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, all I knew was that I didn’t want to be behind a desk. So my sophomore year I took every class that seemed the slightest interest to me. One of those classes was floriculture.
I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home, feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots.
