My Personal Goals

I have always considered myself privileged that I had the chance to attend some of the best schools which I took for granted. When I was working on my undergraduate, I was at the age where I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was going to school to make my parents happy, and I didn’t know how to fit in because I felt that I wasn’t bright enough compared to my peers. In returned I struggled throughout college. Partly, because I didn’t trust and believe in myself that I could do it. Secondly, looking back it wasn’t because I couldn’t do it, it’s just I didn’t want to do it. At the time I didn’t see the importance of going to school because I always thought my father would never become ill and get rid of all his businesses. I always thought that I would never have to work for anyone.


Now that I am married with a child of my own, I am in a different place now. I want to be able to give my child the things I had and more. I want to prove to myself that I can do it as long as I put in the time and effort. I know what it is like to struggle in school, and have teachers that will come and crush your dreams, but then you have those who understand your struggle, and genuinely care, and want to see you achieve your goal. I want to be able to give back what was given to me and that was faith in me. I know that Walden University can help me achieve my dream with a Master in Early Childhood Studies with a Specialization in Teaching Adults in the Early Childhood Field. This is the next step in pursuit of my career.
