Work Ethic Personal Statement

Improved Essays
I’ve always had a knack for making money any way I could. Even from a young age I was trying to sell anything I could get my hands on. This Trait has stuck with me for all of my life and I want to further expand my ability to make money in the future. During the past year, I have considered many colleges, but Whitewater sticks out in my eyes because of the great business program you have to offer. I would like to strengthen my business strategy at your school to help myself with creating a business, learning how to persevere through tough times, and increase my work ethic.

    On both their essays “I Just Wanna Be Average” written by Mike Rose and “The Achievement of Desire” written by Richard Rodriguez show their starting point that leads them to be percipient to a higher degree of an average person. Mike and Richard both had determination towards school even though mike was placed in a vocational class for the reason that there was a mistake in the system because his last name was exactly the same as someone else’s he put up with it and went through the classes without hesitating. Rose saw many students who stood out and when asked for working hard to reach achievements Ken Harvey replied with “I Just Wanna be Average”(187) Personally I interpreted that as something that is a strong topic for students now especially in high school even if you do extraordinarily well and have amazing grads compared to someone who just got by and didn't try as hard, you will still end up with the same degree as well as most likely go to the same college. Later on Rose had a similar sight but soon changed when he met Mr. MacFarland and showed him a new way of thinking which gave him motivation to…
