Reflection
As previously stated, I wish to further my education to adapt to the changes we are seeing throughout the world. I am setting a goal each semester to reach the University's ELOs and to broaden my horizons in regard to connections for a future career and for my own personal benefit. Although this may sound selfish, my end goal is very human. I wish to someday pass my knowledge down to future generations.
