What is your “why” for pursuing a doctoral degree at Walden?

My why for pursuing my doctoral is I want to become greater as an accountant, a businesswoman, and maybe to pursue teaching. My decision in pursuing my doctoral degree came as I was finishing up my master’s degree.  I was rewriting my goals that I wanted to accomplish and checking some things off my list that I have already accomplished. My master’s degree was one of the things I was checking off my list I happened to get a little disturbed because I didn't finish it within the time frame I would have liked. Although I glad so many distractions a year later I completed it. I said "I'm finally done". Being that I always have the highest expectation for everyone around me. I wanted more the best the, highest level of education that I can give myself. I looked in to going to University of South Carolina I loved their program, but I also work a full-time job and a proud owner of Boutique. The schedule didn't work with my schedule. After looking at a few online I came across Walden University the reviews by the way were horrible. I am a person that love to make a difference and I am my motivation I will succeed at everything I do.  I believe I will be on there when I finish with this doctoral with a great review.  Just starting and the success coach is awesome. 

How might your future plans make a positive impact on your career, your family, and/or your community?

Tasha Holland-Kornegay alumni video resonated most with me because even as she got all those denials letters to help her community she didn't give up. She made a way to generate income to be able to help her community. That's not just an inspiration to me as to continue my education that is inspiration to me in life, and in my businesses. "The strength to know all things are possible". (Holland-Kornegay) I have started a tax preparation business to generate more income for my Boutique. My Boutique also does things in the community to give back. Her testimony is amazing that was in 2007 I could only I imagine her drive now.

Which of the alumni videos resonated most with you and why? 

My future plans will make a positive impact in so many lives starting with my family. I will be the first in my family to have a doctoral degree. I will set a standard for upcoming scholars in my family that they would want to pursue a higher level of education. As For my career it will put me in a status that I could be the best CPA, and businesswoman that I can be. I like to have many streams of income, so I can be able to help my community not just by giving back but bringing jobs and opportunities to it as well.
