My Interview Question

What is your defintion of success?

Current Whereabouts:

Bettering myself as an individual, networking, and trying to fulfill my purpose.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I desire to be great and to help those all over the world. My major is Urban Studies & Public Policy which focuses on finding solutions to inner city problems such as unemployment, poverty, and crime. My major can be broken down into two categories: Urban studies are the issues that include real estate development, transportation, land use and city life. Public Policy is whatever governments choose to do or not to do and what difference it makes in the community. I choose this major because it's very broad but both aspects of it include something positive for the community. I can take my ideas and dreams and turn them into something great. Exploring different places and creating new ideas using all of my knowledge to gain new knowledge is why my major is so unique. Reflecting on my erudition of knowledge and passion for this field my major is a perfect fit for me. I plan on having a career in government, law, city planning, or public policy analysis. I plan on making a difference in the world to impact people lives all over creating a positive change. Failure is not an option.
