Personal & Professional Accomplishments I can't believe it has been ten years since graduating Temple University. I have been extremely blessed to have accomplished my personal and professional goals. My biggest dream in life was to start my own business. I felt like that was my American Dream and I was going to live my American Dream by any means necessary. After graduating Temple University, I was a young adult who was trying to figure out what business to start. One day I decided to start a cafe because I always liked the food and drinks served in a cafe. I was going on kickstarter, getting investments and bank loans so I can get the money to open my business. Opening up my business was my biggest professional …show more content…
Opening my business in multiple locations was another major professional accomplishment because I was able to make a difference in decreasing the unemployment rate in the U.S. The more locations my business opened, the more I felt like my American Dream was turning into my American Reality. Like every Entrepreneur, I have faced many obstacles that just made me stronger as a person and Entrepreneur. It has been 5 years since I have been in business, and we are all over the U.S. It's amazing to see a business go from a local cafe to a house hold name. I feel accomplished everyday because hard work is paying off in a big way. I didn't want to just change one country for the better so I expanded my business outside of the U.S. One of my major professional accomplishments was when I opened my first cafe in Europe. There was a lot of obstacles we faced when we were opening the cafe internationally. Majority of the struggle was wondering what foods and drinks to add and remove. Another major obstacle was marketing and advertising in a foreign language. We were able to overcome the major obstacles from opening the cafe in Europe, now we are a …show more content…
When I graduated Temple University, my personal goals were to start a family, make Temple's list of notable alumni, start my own charity foundation, make a difference in the lives of the youth, and help inspire people to better themselves as human beings. I always knew I was one day going to start a family, I just didn't know when. I got married at 27 years old and my 1st born son was born when I was 28 years old. My daughter was born when I was 31 years old. I was able to accomplish my biggest personal goal which was starting a family. My main motive for starting a family was to pass my business down to my kids and share my success with the people I love the most in my life. One of my smaller personal goals was making the notable alumni list for Temple University. When I found out I was making the notable alumni list, I was ecstatic. I never expected to make the notable alumni list within 10 years. I was extremely blessed to be able to provide for my family and make Temple's notable alumni list but there are a lot of people in the world who are less fortunate. I wanted to help people less fortunate then me make a living, so I achieved one of my personal goals which was starting my own charity foundation. I was fortunate to obtain this success, so I felt it was right to help those who
