Undergraduate / Enriching, quality learning environment will help me to best achieve my future career goals [2]
In an essay of 300 words, or fewer (approximately 1950 characters with spaces), write about your goals for your time at Queen's University and beyond. Your answer will be evaluated for content and writing style.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think that I did well with answering my goals, but I feel as if I need to sell myself more. Thoughts? Improvements?
As a young adult entering post-secondary education, I believe that an enriching, quality learning environment will help me to best achieve my future career goals as a mechanical Engineer. Queen's University is the best place for me to achieve these goals due to it's diverse student body, it's many clubs and groups and it's fantastic group of professors. The Queen's Undergraduate Internship Program has always attracted me to the University, consequently making one of my goals to pursue co-op employment through this program. In doing so, I would gain valuable work experience and education which would assist me in my career as an engineer.
I also wish to improve upon my fantastic time management skills, that I have developed over my secondary school years, at Queen's University. As a current International Baccalaureate student and part-time employee at Staples Canada involved in extra curriculars such as concert band, Wildcat Theatre and producing music at home, I have learned valuable time management skills which have allowed me to achieve academic success. I believe that Queen's University will give me the tools and environment to build on these skills and continue achieving academic success.
Finally, I feel that Queen's gives me an opportunity to develop and improve my leadership skills that I have developed as a leadership camper and camp counsellor at Camp Kawartha in Lakefield over the past 5 years. The skills I have acquired through my experiences leading classes, participating in counsellor and lifeguarding duties and dealing with camper concerns has given me a strong sense of leadership which I feel will be a fantastic contribution to the community at Queen's. I also believe that Queen's will give me the perfect opportunity to take these skills and develop them further through the environment at the University.
