The Power of Vision

Like [hopefully] many people, I too have goals that I wish to achieve after graduating from Baruch this June (finally!!). One of those goals begins this summer, since I have just booked a 2-month trip to Europe. The first month-and-a-half will be spent in eastern Europe, where I plan to visit family and friends in Bosnia, Montenegro, and Macedonia. During this part of the trip, I hope to spend as much quality time as possible with the people that I love, seeing as how I haven't been back home in 3 years. The second part of the trip will be spent in western Europe, in Spain, France, and Germany. For this part, my goal is to see and learn as much as I can about the cultures of these three countries, and to meet many interesting people along the way. In order to achieve this, I plan on keeping an open mind and trying out new and different things.

My second goal is to find a full-time job that has a pretty decent starting salary with the chance to get health benefits, starting in September. I'm not exactly sure what kind of job I want yet, but I just want something that will be sufficient enough to support myself. I have already started this goal by applying online at STARR Career Center and websites such as monster.com.

The third goal is in case my 2nd goal doesn't work out, and that is to apply for grad school. If I can't find a job within six months as of September, I want to apply to grad school for either International Logistics or Sports Management. If I pursue Sports Management, then I would hope to move out to southern California since that's where they have the best programs for this field. To prepare for this goal, I would have to study for an take an MBA exam, as well as gather recommendations and/or write an entrance letter.

My final goal is to move out. Although I am happy to be living with my parents (what's not to love - I get free housing and food), I would like to experience living on my own. But in order to do that, I would have to complete my second goal in finding a full-time job.
