1. At CoBA we place great importance on values, initiative and professionalism. Describe an example of how you demonstrated these qualities. It is by setting consistent goals that I am able to demonstrate values ​​and initiative consistently throughout my life. Immediate goals limit distractions along the path I choose to take. Short-term goals keep my eyes on the road to ensure I can overcome the obstacles ahead. Long-term goals allow me to understand that the obstacles I see in front of me are far inferior to the unexpected challenges that await me along the way. It is with this system in mind that I am able to achieve consistent results while maintaining my core values ​​and constant initiative. Professionalism allows these goals to be realized by creating networks and friendships that are the cornerstone of business success.2. What are your career aspirations? How will your education at CoBA help you achieve them? Why is now the right time to earn an MBA? Living life to the fullest while working in a position that allows me to constantly grow and challenge my mind in ways that make me a better person is my aspiration. This aspiration can only be realized through consistent personal and professional achievement and the achievement of industry-supported accreditations. Now is the time to take action on accreditation as a Navy Officer's career allows only small windows to achieve personal goals.3. Describe a time when you built and developed a team. Until the fall of 2013, Navy life had kept me from volunteering in the community. A window of opportunity opened up for me to dedicate my time to the local youth soccer team. It's hard enough to help a focused preteen... middle of paper... 2 chances to fail any of the 6 tests before being removed from your career. I am a business expert. There was no such thing as business. It was a technical circus that required everything I had. I stumbled while trying to reach the already established knowledge of the best of the best students in all the Military Academies and had to keep up. For every hour of work they did, I needed two. For every question they had, I had four. I was just trying to keep my head above water. It was during these difficult weeks that I felt I was at my best. My new career depended on it. My work ethic was unbreakable and my fortitude was tested to its core. I attended flight school. I earned my Golden Wings. I earned my respect by tackling failure at its highest point and I succeeded. This is the most challenging goal I have achieved so far in my life.
