It is largely argued that education is the key to personal success in diverse areas. Whereas most people have access to education, going through the higher levels in education still remain a dream for many. I have always had a desire to work my way through in all levels of education, through working hard and achieving the best results. In fact, in my entire academic journey, this has been one of the motivating factors to always push on and perhaps be among the best scholars. It is because of this desire that has triggered my ambition to enroll in the MBA program, majoring in Organization Management and Administration Development. I strongly believe that I have a strong background that would allow me to effectively complete the program, having completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and Administration, in King Abdulaziz University.
Undoubtedly, MBA, Organization Management and Administration, program is currently offered in various higher institutions of learning in the country as well as abroad. Having, I strongly believe that in Seattle University, Albers School of Business and Economics, I will have access to the best education ever as far as this program is concerned. In addition to the testimonies of current student, the alumni, as well as personal experience, I have no doubt none of the high institutions of learning that I know of could offer the quality of education that I will be getting in Seattle University. This is one of the main reasons for my decision to apply for an opportunity to be part of the Seattle University fraternity.
Furthermore, I took the initiative of visiting Albers School of Business and Economics, and had an experience of what it means a student in this Seattle University. I had an opportunity to speak to the Dean of Student, and the reception and response I got was amazing. In Seattle University, the relationship between students and administrators goes beyond academics. I noted the Dean spoke to student, not as if she was just a random number in a sea of students, but as a close friend or family member. Besides, the Dean took time to respond to questions thoroughly. Moreover, I had an opportunity to go around the campus and lecture halls. I was convinced that the campus has the required facilities for students to excel in their programs. The library is well stocked with the necessary materials and technology to enhance research and personal studies among the students.
I know that venturing into a new environment always results in various challenges. As such, I anticipate some emotional, social and academic challenges; especially considering I completed my undergraduate degree in a different university which had its own unique culture. The academic challenges such as coping with the new teaching methods used by the professors, conceptualizing the various types of assessment procedures, working myself round the volume and pace of the workload, and learning how to study independently will be inevitable. In addition, I anticipate learning how to make the most of the time available for academics.
Undertaking the program would be a major step towards fulfilling my long-term desire of upgrading my career track to the next level, the management and administration level. One of my long term goals is being an effective person in my community. This means that I have to work hard in my education so as to attain the necessary academics skills that will be essential in real life situations. Management and administration is an important area in the community, and undertaking an MBA program in this area would be a significant achievement for me.
Lately, competition in the job market has considerable increased, and continues to increase with time. Unlike in the past, the number of graduates in the undergraduate degree programs has increased. Each year thousands of students graduate from various universities in my country. Therefore, undertaking the MBA program would be an added advantage on my part when it comes to competing for job opportunities in the market. On the same note, the program would give me a chance to try different experience. It is evident that at the end of the program I will have extra skills in the management and administration field. Moreover, by the end of the program I hope I will be at a better position to make a difference in businesses in my country, especially those involving women.
In the course of my academic journey, I have gained various skills to support my future career. For instance, I came to realize that application of technology will always be part of my profession. Therefore, I took the initiative of learning basic Information Technology skills, especially with regard to utilization of computers. Particularly, I have progressive, office and keyboard skills. In addition I am accurate, logical, flexible, trustworthy, adaptable, competitive, enterprising, quick thinker and analytical. All these are important skills that allow me to deal with various people within and outside the workplace. The skills tend to define how I relate to other people that I interact with under different circumstances. I am also creative, achiever, practical, agile mind, and problem-solver; which are important skills that would come in handy especially in the course of my study in the advanced MBA program.
Based on my knowledge and experience in the field of economics and administration, and how to handle various issues affecting people within the society, I believe that I have the stamina to successfully go through the challenging requirements of the advanced degree program in Organization Management and Administration in Seattle University. I am aware that venturing into this new program would not be easy, especially considering that my undergraduate program entailed economics related aspects; but I have no doubt on my capabilities, and through hard work and the guidance of my professors I strongly believe I will achieve the best result at the end. Besides, I believe that this is the only institution that can effectively prepare me towards achieving my aspirations.
Finally, Seattle University is among the leading universities when it comes to advanced degree program not only in the field of business, but also other fields. Based on its facilities, the special and personal attention that instructors give their students, I have no doubt that I will realize my academic goals and objectives in Seattle University. For sure, this is the only institution that could prepare me effectively to navigate through the challenges of real life within the field of management and administration.
