I value the sense of self-accomplishment when achieving goals, whether I set them for myself or receive them from others -the more challenging the task, the better. The satisfaction of a well-completed job pushes me to take on new tasks and push myself, striving for more extraordinary accomplishments. Doing so allows me to be more self-driven and expand my horizons. However, as a student at Clemson University, I have learned that success is not without failure; as I said in my entrance essay, "The more I fail, the more I realize that learning from your failures give you your stripes, but viewing your failure as prey… means you're looking at life through the eye of a tiger."
