Undergraduate / "Increase my knowledge, improve my entrepreneur skills" personal and education goals [9]

"Reflecting on your personal and educational goals, please write about how you believe UNCW will allow you to grow as a student and as a person."

The mood I had for my high school has drastically changed. During my freshman year, I was excited and ready for my four year high school experience at Andrews. But the years passed by and the experience became dreadful. The school had a bad reputation so the staff became stricter. Eliminating most of our freedom that other schools have. A lot of us lost pride for our school because it seems more like a prison school.

But I do appreciate some of my teachers at that high school who made an impact on my life. They showed me that they cared for my future and they wanted me to succeed in life. I also appreciate my guidance cousler which is a UNCW graduate. She introduced UNCW to me and told me it'll be a great school for me to attend. Falling in love with the university she explained to me how great the professors are, how students have pride about their school, and how it is affordable. Andrews was an experience I wasn't to happy about but learning about UNCW programs gave me hope for having a great lifetime experience.

Not only does UNCW have an astonishing campus but it has a business school that will help me improve my entrepreneur skills. My father graduated from the University of Iowa and got an english degree but his cooking struck an impact to my life. Ever since a kid I've wanted to become a magnificent chef. I've always had a passion for cooking delicious meals. Being a chef for my own sea food restaurant has been my dream career for years. Getting accepted to UNCW will not only be life changing but it'll motivate me to strive for excellence to catch this dream career. The Cameron School of Business will give me a better understanding about running a successful business. Having a job in the kitchen near the shore will help me become a better cook.

I look forward to meeting new people and making friendships at Wilmington. It'll be fun meeting a diversity of different personalities. The environment around the campus is beautiful. The scenery itself will make me be proud to be a Seahawk. Teal, gold, and navy blue are the colors I want to see myself in when I graduate college. If you give me the opportunity to live the Seahawk lifestyle I'll promise to be a great student and represent the school in a great way. Academically showing you, volunteering when needed, and being involved with the campus clubs and activities. I want to see the next four years of my life attending Wilmington.

This university will increase my knowledge and help me become better at my future career. It'll also help me become a better person and realize the beautiful things in life. I'll be excited to start a new life at Wilmington. If accepted, I will make a difference and leave UNCW a better place when I graduate.
