I plan to obtain my Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. I have already completed technical school with the Air Force for Avionics Systems. By attending that, I have developed fundamental skills in electronics, leadership, and teamwork, all which are needed in my degree. I wish to advance through this degree without collecting any debt. I have so far been able to save enough funds for my Undergraduate Degree with scholarships and my commitment to the Air Force. An obstacle to push back this goal, with my military commitment, I would have to give up a semester randomly based on the status of my military base. I have various resources on campus like the Veteran Affairs Office and my academic advisor to help me plan round such situations.
I also plan to qualify for Club Wrestling Nationals. I recently joined the team and I have had a long past of wrestling with not just myself but as well as my father. I qualified for Freestyle and Greco Roman Wrestling Nationals in my High School wrestling career, but I chose to pass up the opportunity to focus on my studies. Although, I regret this decision, I understand why I made it. I have made the commitment to attend the three practices a week at a minimum, while also exercising at a level that will put myself above the other competitors. The wrestling season calls for physical discipline with my diet and workout schedule, so a potential obstacle for my goal is keeping my academic career a priority. Since academics come before wrestling, if my academics drop because of my wrestling commitment, then I will have to give up this commitment to refocus my time management. To help me with dealing with these stresses, I have a great coach who can train me and multiple tutoring and learning centers to keep my academics as a priority.
