As a result, I interact best in diverse learning and professional environments. I will remain connected to the military during my initial years with the University of Phoenix for personal and financial reasons. However, once I secure my Bachelor's of Science I will obtain employment in the civilian sector, preferably working for another large organization.

I plan on being an active member of the student body.

Willing to accept good advice as well as to listen closely to the needs of others, I will be an optimal member of the student body at the University. When I graduate and am a working professional I will be able to represent the University of Phoenix with aplomb and success. I look forward to attending; thank you for….....
