¶ … goal is to attend an MBA graduate program in accounting. This degree will provide me with the depth and breadth of knowledge that I require to achieve my career goals. I strongly believe that I have the academic potential, and more importantly, the determination and strength of character to succeed both in graduate school and larger society.
I feel that strong, educated, and ethical accountants are needed more than ever in a business environment that is still reeling from alleged improprieties of firms like Arthur Anderson's in the Enron scandal. My experience as an accounting major at Temple University has given me both a deep and abiding love of the profession, and a strong desire to make a contribution to the field of accounting. An MBA will give me the invaluable skills and experiences that I need to make a contribution to the larger business world.
An MBA program is well-known to be a challenging and highly rewarding experience. I feel that I have the tenacity, work ethic, and strength of character to commit to such a program, and excel. Vince Lombardi said, "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will." I believe Lombardi's words wholeheartedly, and understand that commitment and desire are among the most invaluable characteristics that predict success both in school and life.
Over the years, I have learned that greatest challenges often yield the greatest rewards and accomplishments. As such, I am excited to undertake an MBA graduate program in accounting. I feel that this experience will provide me with an opportunity to grow and learn as an individual, and give me the tools that I need to make a contribution to the field of accounting, and society as a whole.
