I am a student in the University of Fontbonne. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business administration and my objective is that after completing my first degree, I will also pursue a master’s degree in political science. I consider that the knowledge and skills that I will have gained after completing my education will be of great importance in my future life. This is why I am committed to ensure that I successfully complete the course.
With the knowledge from the university, I will be able to conduct business activities in my country. I admire my father who is a businessman and I want to be like him. The knowledge in business will help me to manage my business projects without the need of hiring other people. I like working in an environment whereby I am not controlled. My success will be influenced by my deliberate efforts. With various business operations, I will be able to create job opportunities to other youths in my country.
I will pursue a masters degree in political science to enable me acquire diplomatic skills. I want to serve the people in my country. As a servant, I need to know how to deal with people in various circumstances. With the diplomatic skills, I will be in a position to serve the citizens of my country well.
In my studies, I am facing several challenges, which may prevent me from achieving my objective. In the first place, I suffer from homesick. I have never lived far away from my family before. I find myself spending a lot of time and money communicating to them instead of carrying out my activities at school. Secondly, it is difficult to adjust to the current culture in United States. I feel that this will affect my studies negatively considering that I am not used to many practices that I find in the university. Language is a problem because English is not my native language. I find it difficult to socialize with others or even engage in class discussions.
However, I have certain characters that are important for my success. I am resolved and ambitious. This makes me put more efforts in my studies to achieve my ambitions. Engaging in business activities also requires individuals who are patient and I am one of such people.
In conclusion, I have a great hope that I will achieve my dream objectives. All what I need to do is make some changes in my life. I need to have a schedule that will help me deal with the work at school. I also need the time to socialize with others and even learn the new language since it will be advantageous to me. In short, I have great hopes regardless of the challenges at the university.
