I am currently a sophomore at the University of Indiana, majoring in Management. Throughout my life I have gone through many difficult situations, but I have never given up and always pushed myself to get better until I reach my goals. In high school I played ice hockey for 4 years and my freshman year I hardly played on the varsity team. I was not happy with my situation and decided that I could sit around waiting for my chance to come, I had to go out and make my own. I put time and hard work into the offseason getting better everyday. Eventually, I worked myself into a spot to get the starting spot and took it. I set a goal for myself and did whatever it took to accomplish my goal. I continue to be a hard worker and resilient today in my studies at the University of Indiana. My main goal is to get a degree from the O'Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs and get a good job. Every day I get up with that goal in mind and strive for it. I devote myself to my studies and becoming a better person every day. I have set my sights on my degree and will do whatever it takes to accomplish my goal because I do not give up.Finally, with my degree I plan to get a good job and from there strive every day to get better and learn more. I desire to work for a company that shares my values of hard work and a never quit mentality. I plan to make that company better with my unique abilities and talents, and work with them to accomplish both my goals and theirs.
