Text Box: I am a firm believer that where you go in life is far less important than what you do there.  I have much more respect for an entrepreneur who steadily increases his profits than a CEO of a fortune 500 company who merely maintains previous earnings levels.  Life is what you make of it; you have to want it, and earn it.  The level of effort put out in college will probably carry over to future jobs, which is why it is so important to create good work habits now rather than be forced to change later.
Like most other college students, I am unsure about my future.  I haven’t set any specific career objectives because they are likely to change with my progression as a person.  I am sure, however, of at least one basic aspiration.  I am certain that I want to become a responsible, successful, and respected leader of a business.  It is by no means an easy ambition, but it succeeds in providing the basic framework for my educative goals.  All the decisions I have and will continue to make in college will be in light of my objective, and thus, will be positive moves in the direction of my goal.  
 I intend to make the most out of my college experience, and have been on the right track so far.  There are no rewards in life without the preceding work to justify them.  I intend to reach my goals, and am willing to put out the effort needed both to achieve them, as well as become a valued member of society.
