A Moment of Immense Success

A Moment of Immense Success

Over the years, I have always admired those who have had great accomplishments in their lives. Since graduating from high school in 1989, my experiences have been mixed but they have been largely good. Some of my experiences included serving in the military for seven years, living and working in Germany for 12 years, and learning a foreign language.

During my high school days, my grades were satisfactory, but not to boast about, you can trust me on that issue. The fact that I can seen Oprah become the person that she is today, make me want to be the best person that I can possible become. Most recently, I have decided to return to school to obtain my bachelor's degree in business management. In addition, it is my goal to obtain my master's degree in business administration directly after finishing my bachelor's degree. In today's business world, I have noticed that without a vital education, one will not be able to climb the corporate ladder. Since I have been attending the University of Phoenix, I have been increasing
