Personal Essay on Chosen Career Path

My chosen career path has been an ongoing source of personal inspiration and growth. My career helps me to define who I am and what I am about. It helps guide me through my life and provides a safe hold as I weather the storms of life. It is my connection to others and a source of giving and receiving knowledge and love.

I have also learned that acquiring the "know how" is as necessary as having the desire to reach a goal. My business experience helped me to understand more about how to lead others. The rewards I have received from my career have been so plentiful that they continue to fuel my desire to reach my ultimate mission. My intent is to become a source of inspiration for others, helping to give back the guidance that others have provided for me.

I wanted to be a teacher because I enjoyed going to school. I was lucky enough to encounter many teachers along
