Indeed, completing the MBA program is not a passing impulse but is rather my overriding educational objective. In other words, I want and need what the MBA program has to offer and I will ensure that I take maximum advantage of the opportunity if it is afforded. If this opportunity is granted me, I will continue to employ the strategies that have been effective in helping me overcome my weaknesses and I will avoid the threat of failure by concentrating on my career and the fact that the MBA will put me in a better position to achieve good things in my career.
