I’ve seen an abundance of growth in myself. Starting the job with no sales experience, I quickly established myself as an exceptional asset, but the growth didn’t stop there. I’ve continued to strive and perform for my dealership, becoming the best salesperson in my dealership. I’d say this is coming a long way from a person who walked through the door not knowing the first thing about a car.

...College Education Essay I always said that I would never go back to school. But now with raising a family of four and the cost of doing so and being told that I am in a position at work that has met maximum raise potential, I have decided to take the steps in completing a degree of higher education. I would love the opportunity for career growth, be the first to graduate from college in my immediate family and set an example to my children that completing college is an obtainable goal that can be reached at any age. When I was up for a review at my current job, I was told that they had to cap my salary of my current position. There was also no position I qualified for that I could transfer to have an opportunity to grow with my employer. I was devastated. The management positions at my company were reserved for those who had an advanced degree and no matter how great of an employee I am, the lack of a college degree was truly holding me back. I did not want to continually make the same salary for the rest of my life. I knew that I was worth more to my employer, but needed a degree to achieve this. This was a vital key to making a decision to go back to school. I worried as well on the cost and knew that I could not afford to pay for school myself. But through my research regarding loans and scholarships, I felt comfortable with financing my way back to school. There are numerous benefits an advanced degree can bring to my professional and personal life. Giving my...

...ability to make decisions and act by oneself for oneself” (“What you don’t get out of a college education,” 2003, para. 1). Personal responsibility means different things to different people, but I describe personal responsibility as holding yourself accountable for the choices that we make in our lives and accepting the consequences. Whether it is our academic, professional, or personal life win or lose we are responsible. Personal responsibility is necessary to succeed in college because when students have personal responsibility it will allow students to achieve their future goals. Everyone has responsibilities, to our families, our employers, and to our self. How we handle those responsibilities determines how successful we become in life. Without personal responsibility a person can become dependent on others for acceptance or to make him or her feel valued as human beings. At the moment my responsibilities are to myself as a student, and my responsibilities consist of managing my time, my health, and my finances. Setting time aside to study and do my assignments, making sure that I eat healthy, exercise, and get enough rest and also sticking to my budget so I do not spend more than I have. These are my ways of taking personally responsibility. In order to be successful in college, I must be personally responsible for my own learning. I must participate in my own learning by, logging in to my online class regularly, participating in discussions, and by asking questions if I do...

...2013 A Divine Mind Education was never a priority in my house growing up. Poor grades really did not matter to my family. College was never even spoken of, let alone an option to ponder. After graduating from high-school I entered the military, mainly because it was my only option. Upon growing up and traveling the world, it became apparent that an education was a must. It became a passion of mine to go to college. Actually, while teaching my son to read at the tender age of four, a question arose in my mind. How could I ask my child to go to college, when I had never been? It is with great pride today that I am able to state that I attend College. Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the Chancellor’s scholarship. Being awarded this scholarship would alleviate the financial stress that goes along with attending college. Being a non-traditional student with a family, there have been times in the past year that finding sources for financing college was extremely difficult. If awarded this endowment, it would free up funds allowing me to truly focus on my studies. Without the worry of monetary issues, there would be no stopping me. My plan for the future is to graduate from the nursing program. This gift of the Chancellor’s scholarship would allow me to continue on that path without any interruptions. Being awarded this scholarship would also provide an excellent source of accomplishment. Living in a small town all of my life has been a rewarding experience. The close-knit...
