The career I would like to pursue for my future is sports management. Growing up and now I am very involved in sports, so I figured this was the right career for me. Some reading that will be required for this field is definitely e-mails, newspapers, sports articles, and interviews. The reading secret I will definitely need to use is removing distractions. I get distracted very easily so I need to work hard to remove them.

My college goal is to graduate with a sports management degree and to finish with a high grade point average. It is very important for me to get good grades because all that matter to me right now is my future and the money income I bring in. Money income matter a big time to me because I want to be able to call myself “successful”. Overall my college goal is to do well so I can be proud of myself for where I will be in the future.

I changed in many ways going from high school to college. I had to learn how to be more independent in college. In high school you get a lot more help and are something I like to call “babied”. College is a huge step up from high school.

Also I had to change my work ethic. My work ethic in high school was laid back and I didn’t have to try much because it was easy. I was in for a rude awakening for college. At first I struggled but I learned that the work load at college is a lot more so I knew I had to change it in order to succeed.

My motivation would probably the scare of failing. I hate failing in everything I do whether it’s basketball, school, or playing a video game. There is nothing in the whole world that makes me more upset than failing. I am all about succeeding and failing and succeeding are complete opposites. You can’t succeed if you fail. So I try to make failing not an option for me.
