Please review what I have so far in my essay and provide any suggestions. Thank You.
Statement of Goals - Business Sense and Model - MBA
Growing up in XXX, XXX as the oldest child in my family, I watched my mother work multiple jobs in order to support my two younger sisters and myself. Observing the obstacles my mother faced due to the lack of a formal education has been my primary motivation for reaching my goal of going to college as well as pursuing my MBA degree through XXX.
As I pursued my undergraduate degree, I worked full-time to provide financial support to my siblings. I consider my ability to support my family while pursuing my degree a major accomplishment. Unfortunately, during this time my undergraduate grade point average (GPA) suffered as result. However, my GPA does not accurately reflect my capabilities. Through the experience of days filled with studying, working, and caring for my little sisters, I am comfortable creating time to study at night and on weekends. While I will continue to make sure I provide for my family, I will never allow my education to suffer.
Since graduating from college six (6) years ago, my career has included various technical roles in business oriented settings. These roles have provided me with the thirst for additional business knowledge. Having a lack of business knowledge has forced me to re-evaluate my career plan and goals.
As I begin a new chapter in my life, I have set several professional goals for myself, and I believe an MBA from XXX will play an integral role in my achieving these goals. My first goal is to sharpen my business sense and continue to develop stronger communication skills. Being able to understand the business impact that technical problems pose will enable me take a more effective approach when searching for solutions. This goal can be reached by cross training in other non-technical business units and continuing to take on new speaking engagements and communication opportunities. My second goal is to continue to develop stronger leadership and management skills. I plan to achieve this goal upon graduating from your MBA program. Your program will allow me to join a top-tier corporation and rotate in different business lines within its leadership development program. I see this as being important to obtaining the necessary management skills needed to reach my long term goal of becoming an entrepreneur. This leads me to my third and final goal, which is to establish my own Information Security Consulting firm. Becoming an entrepreneur has been a lifelong dream of mine. Taking a personal stake in building a product or service that I can call my own while inspiring others, creates great satisfaction for me. This goal can be achieved by reaching the aforementioned goals above, hard work, dedication and a strong desire to learn
With those goals in mind, I feel confident that now is the right time for me to earn my MBA degree. I've chosen the XXX Weekend MBA Program to aid me due to its flexibility, convenience, and quality. An MBA from XXXX University coupled with work experience will increase my overall marketability and build a stronger foundation of business knowledge and skills. I will put the knowledge and skills gained from your program to good use as I overcome the challenges of tomorrow.
