It seemed like every five steps I took I had to stop and catch my breath, my legs were weak and my head ached from lack of oxygen, but I only had 50 more feet to go until I reached the peak of the 14,000 foot mountain. When I set my mind on a goal, I work hard and endure the many challenges presented to ensure that I, and those along for the journey, experience the benefits of achieving the objective.

Working and actively pursuing an MBA is no small task. At times, when giving up seems like the easiest option, my commitment and perseverance will prevail to deliver quality work that I am proud to be associated with.
