My first achievement in education was in 2007 where I attained Diploma in pharmacy. However, this was not enough. I noticed that I need to have skills in information systems so that I will be successful in my career. I further pursued Masters in Information Systems and Technology in the year 2017. The world is shifting to a technology hub and having knowledge about Information System is of great advantage to me. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in computer and information technology roles is projected to grow by 12% from 2014-2024, faster than the average rate of growth for all occupations. That translates to about 488,500 new jobs, bringing the total number of IT jobs to 4.4 million (2016 Median Pay, 2018, January 30). My decision to pursue a master’s program at Royal Roads University in Global management was stimulated by me wanting to work in the overseas countries. Most of the countries outside my home country are faced with the shortage of pharmacy and information and systems Technology professionals. The main purpose of the program will prepare me for a business International career; moreover, the program will help to build the skills and experience required to become a business leader in today's highly connected, multicultural world.

Graduates of this program are fully skilled, work-ready managers and leaders with a global perspective and cultural awareness and an understanding of the ways in which disciplines like accounting and law vary across global markets. In the Master of Global Management (MGM) degree at Royal Roads University, I will be given the choice of completing the program through four applied completion options: Global Management Project, Internship Research Project, Graduate Certificate in Project Management, or MGM+MBA International Business Dual Degree. All four options emphasize experiential learning, the application of business knowledge to real-world situations. I will develop a broad range of international business skills while learning to work effectively with individuals from other cultures, regions, and ideologies. The applied completion options require me to utilize all the learning and knowledge obtained throughout the program and this will leave me with an intelligent and informed perspective about the world of business (Global Management, Master, n.d.).

It is not easy to pass every course in the university especially being a master’s program. In this program, I will fully engage myself in class participation. Class participation benefits both me and students because the moment I speak up I will be able to express my ideas to my fellow students in a way that they will be able to understand. Asking questions will help me learn how to obtain information to enhance my own understanding of the topic. The success of the program will be measured on how to relate ideas in the course book. Doing research and reading more books on the program will enable me to gain more knowledge and understand it better. Moreover, I will be able to gain more ideas and the importance of studying the program. In the next 5-10 years, the program will help me fulfill my career by helping me gain knowledge in management and understanding disciplines like accounting and law vary across global markets. Moreover, it will be an advantage to me and I will be more marketable.
