Becoming A Better Person by james

Becoming A Better Person by james - August 2024 Scholarship Essay

In my life I want to strive to become the best person I can be in regard to my personal and professional life. I’m going to Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois to pursue my bachelor's degree in accounting and Analytics, because I would like to work in the accounting field or the financial analyst field. After I graduate from college, I plan on getting a job in one of those fields and work for at least three to five years. Then I will go back to school so I can get my masters. I know this journey in my life won’t be easy, but I want to dedicate all of my time and effort to my goals and become a successful person. I have a strong work ethic, and I don’t like to give up. I like to take on hard tasks because they make me a better person with the experience and knowledge I would have gained. I’ve come very far in life graduating from middle school and now high school. All of those years I’ve spent in school have been preparing me for this journey that I’m about to start. I will work very hard in college to come out on top and get my degree and work hard again in my career field. The field I’m going to is competitive and not easy, but I will overcome anything that is thrown at me. I want to make change in my world and also my career field by inspiring others to chase after their dreams and aspirations and to also be innovative. I would like to open up doors for others to become the best version of themselves by being a leader and a role model; while showing them they can defeat any challenge as long as they work hard. One personal goal I have is to become closer with my family and to also keep in touch with them since this will be my first year in college. I will be moving away from home and into my own dorm room with a new roommate. That is a big jump that I am nervous about, but I know that the experience will be good for me. I won’t be living with my parents anymore so I won’t see them every day like I normally would. I would like to keep that connection and build a stronger bond, so our relationship is not lost. Something I can do to make that goal come true is by making sure to call or text them every day. Another goal I have is to be open to meeting new people and creating friendships. I stay to myself but now I would like to make a change and open myself up more. A step I will take to achieve this goal is to join clubs and also do simple things like starting conversations with my future classmates.This scholarship will help me because it would give me a boost to completing all of my goals. It would help me a lot and remove some stress by acting as a helping hand. I’m very passionate about school because I know that it is a great opportunity to open up doors if you use it wisely. This scholarship is a big opportunity for me and I’m thankful for being able to come across this.
