Capitan Mark Kelly Ever since I was a young girl I have always had great dreams and high expectations for myself. Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material. Though I did work really hard in my classes, I was still at best average. During my junior year I took my SAT’s, and cried when I got my scores back. For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.
I have taught my children the importance of sharing and to always help each other out. I don’t want them to be greedy with their belongings as they grow up. I also have taught them to never be mean or talk rudely to anyone because it’s impolite. My family also knows the difference between right and wrong because if they didn’t they would grow up thinking everything they did was ok to do. I want them to know when it is ok to do something and when it’s wrong to do something because if it’s good you will always be rewarded and if it’s bad then something terrible may happen.
Unfortunately, I’ve learned the hard way that sadly not all people are good. I tend to face myself against reality when I don’t want to see the negative in situations. Which is why I have set making good friends as one of my goals. I believe that a friend should never hold you back from your dreams and instead they should be there to help and guide you through the bad, the good, and the ugly. They should be a support system and be there for you as much as you would be there for them and it’s always nice to have good influences as you grow into adulthood.
Leadership Point of View Grand Canyon University MGT 605 Leadership Role Models My mother, my grandmother, and my coach have been the main three leadership role models in my life. My mother showed me how to be strong. She taught me at an early age how to fight for the “finer” things in life. She would always tell me “Chelle, in order to get something out of life, you must go through things to get it”. My mother instilled a life long lesson in me.
I have family members who are always saying negative things to me like- “It’s too expensive to attend college,” you’ll never find time,” it’s too late,” and etc. I have long separated from some of these family members because I needed boundaries and knew they were not part of my eventual goals for my life. I ultimately knew that if I didn’t separate, my dreams and a piece of myself would die. As a result, I make sure to concentrate my energy on various healthy challenges and this has helped me to forget about the negative words and impacts in my life. Thank God- that I have been able to succeed in most of my goals.
I have worked tirelessly for many years to support my family and now I have the opportunity in life to go back to college and pursue my dream. I know that everyone doesn’t have a stable financial platform from which they stand, but that usually leads up to giving up their dreams or
After all my homework and cheer activities are completed, my personal entertainment was also a big challenge for me to overcome. Since, I had so much going on I told myself to keep going and to conquer my distraction so I could advance in my nursing degree. Facing a lot of distractions in college I found that homework, athletics, and my personal entertainment are my biggest distraction to overcome in my nursing degree. After I finally graduated high school, I did not realized how important homework was until coming to college. When I showed up my first day of college I realized then how important homework really was.
Another was to better myself and be a constant provider for my family. You see I am also a single mother and have to do this alone and I knew with an education it would make it a little easier. Though it would not be easy getting there, in the end it would. The benefits of getting my degree in education are many. One main benefit that comes with mydegree is my love for children.
I could have taken a year off from school if I wanted, but I took the challenge of gaining many new responsibilities, which help me grow as an adult each day. I have met many new people coming into this school more than I ever thought I would. My teachers are very diverse, and it is a lot of hard work adapting to different teaching habits. One person I can really say that has helped me through all these different obstacles would have to be my friend Maranda. Yes, we have known each other before attending college but this transitioning stage in life has really opened my eyes to my own reality.
When I took my placement test I was shocked at the result that I had master them, I was in fear that I didn’t do well, I knew that I had forgotten a lot of information and that lot stayed in my head. I had to take several remedial courses, considering my education background. I attended southwest community college and master a certificate in computer software specialist in the year of 2005-2007, and I felted very proud of myself, so I decided to take it a step further and go for an associated degree in business so that why I am here a Ashford University. I get a lot of guidance from my children, especially my daughter she is in college and she encourage me a lot, at times when I want to give up she keeps me going saying little phrases like( mom you can do it, you are never to old) the love I have for that child. I challenge with training myself to be more tactful in completing my assignment on time and studying to make good grades on quizzes and test, these were my main challenge in trying to going readjust to returning back to
