Goals

My objectives for returning to school are to fulfill my personal and business goals by increasing my knowledge and gaining skills to become an asset to my company and family. I need the challenge and stimulation that learning offers me to enhance my self- esteem, which will enable me to handle conflict in the workplace. My main goal for increasing my knowledge base is to make a difference in the lives of others. Financial stability is also important aspect when making the decision to return to school.

Education is a tool to achieve many goals. Learning gives me the challenge I need for self - enrichment and to expand my awareness by helping me understand the corporate world. It will also enhance my self-esteem and bestow pride in what I have accomplished. Someone told me once that 'Knowledge is something that can not be taken away from you.'

Financial stability is a factor for gaining more skills that will help me become more marketable in the workplace. By increasing my knowledge base it will benefit me in obtaining a promotion. Being a single mother with two children has been very demanding and my expectations for providing for them is essential.

One of my main skills that I need to obtain is to learn how to handle conflict. Conflict is a difficult subject for me to deal with. I hate confrontation and have a hard time adapting to those types of situations. My way of dealing with confrontation is by not dealing with it at all. It's not that I am fearful, but I can't understand why some people are unable to be a team player and that we are all trying to reach the same goal.

My children have been a big reason why I am furthering my education. I want to set a good example by being sound role model. With the hope, that my accomplishments will enable them to become successful adults.
