Wayne State UniversitySterling Heights, MI
Throughout my whole life, the importance of education has been reiterated to me by my mother and father. Being raised by parents who value education very much, I have developed an appreciation for learning, opportunity, and the importance of hard work. Ever since I was young, I have had wanderlust, determination, and a love for learning. I put forth my best effort in everything I do regardless of my given title, to ensure that it reflects my zealous, passionate, hardworking personality. Education is essential to me because I can have a better understanding as well as an appreciation for the world around me. Since I am fortunate enough to receive a proper education, I strive to learn as much as possible while developing practical skills necessary for the future. In my past job, I had the opportunity to develop management skills and progress to the store manager position in less than three years. I accredit my successes in professional development to the academic experiences that I have had. Without education, I would not have had the opportunity to learn how to talk to other individuals, problem-solve, work in a team setting, time management, and respect.
