Success is on Your TermsFinding an achievable path to a personal goal cannot be found through a web search, in a book or through conversation.

Immediately determining what school you want to study is not feasible without life experience and reality. For my part, I had no idea. My best work results from passionate material that manifests through business and culture, in which I have rich experiences. Apart from all the experiences, I know how to build on them. I had two major experiences that brought out my strengths. One of them was a three-acre self-managed produce farm. The second lived on an island in the North Pacific Ocean within the indigenous Alutiiq culture. My years of work have highlighted the strengths that I can develop at a university. Taking advantage of the agricultural assets formerly present, I rented land and planted three acres of vegetables. The harvest required weekly attention. With my team of employees, weed maintenance, irrigation, pest control and flower pruning took place. I had three employees.

I myself have successfully worked for myself, convinced farmers' market buyers to buy from me, observed the layout of Kodiak's logistics department, lived and observed a culture so diverse and obscure from the rest of the world's operations and succeeds, although, more importantly, I see that each situation is compatible with the ideas and reasons of the respective culture and that no one is more right than the other. I would like to study operations management at the University of Arizona starting this summer semester. . I look forward to continuing my career here. Thank you for your time.
