I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child...show more content...
"People will only try to take advantage of you if you open the door for them to do so". "Be strong, be independent, and above all love, love, love when you find someone worthy of your love". Even my dreams consist of her. Last night I dreamed that I was riding out on the open range and after around three hours just riding and enjoying the peace and quite of being away from everything I noticed a figure walking towards me. I was not worried but just curious as to who it may be. When I drew nearer I could tell it was a woman. I thought to myself why is she out here all alone and walking. This was horse country and there was nothing for miles around that she could walk too. When we finally came face to face I could see that she was crying and that tears were coming down and such a sad look on her face. I dismounted and asked if "I may be of any help? She began to cry all the much harder and tried to talk but her emotions had the best of her. I took a chance and put my arms around her and let her cry until there seemed to be no more tears in which she would be able to shed. When she did finally look at me her eyes were so sad and I took my hand and softly brushed away the tears flowing down her cheeks. I asked if there was anything I could do for her, and she said "no, I must handle this my way". "How are you going to handle anything out here all alone and crying the way you are"? Mary Doe then looked at me and said, "you
In researching the Villanova Masters in Finance program I spoke with past students, read a number of opinions on a variety of websites and researched where Villanova alumni come from and go of to once they graduate. Something that I came across that was also very interesting was what definesa "Type V" personality. I found this to be telling of the personality traits that are found among Villanova students. Two of these traits (Ambition and Intellectual Curiosity) are things that I find in myself and that would be important in this program and amongst my classmates.
My ambition pushes me to work harder and achieve more every day. It was my desire to succeed and ambition in life that kept me studying and preparing for my undergraduate entrance...show more content...
We live in an incredible world with so much to learn about an experience. This curiosity is what eventually fueled my career passions even though I was formally studying civil engineering. I took this interest and fueled it with personal reading, the CFA, mentors and internships. I am not looked to continue this quest with a master's degree at your university. The students I have talked with told me that not only are the required classes amazing, but the interaction with professors, the opportunity to listen to PhD paper discussions, to perform research, etc, all offer the opportunity to learn about subjects and topics outside of just what is required. I am excited by the possibility and expect to continue this life long curiosity once I re–enter the working world.
Reality is there are so many Type V traits that I admire and would want to touch on. Collaboration, ethics, social responsibility; these are all things that I want in a school and fellow classmates. This emphasis on traits that make up positive members of society is unique amongst schools that I have looked at. It is important for me to be at a university that values these things, as these are important attributes in my life as well. I look forward to not only fitting into this program and university, but also becoming a positive contributor and member of the 2016–2017 graduating
