Many people set goals in order to succeed in life. To achieve those goals one has to start at a point and work towards that ultimate dream. I have been fortunate that living in Barbados within a small society I can envision a great deal more than others can. My education at Queen’s College (Barbados) gave me a glimpse into the computer world. I further pursued this by obtaining my Associate Degree in Computer Studies at the Barbados Community College. At the College, I was exposed to the real working world as part of their internship program. The chosen company, Points Solution Incorporated, was in its infancy and this worked to my advantage. I learnt many new computer programs, worked with new types of hardware and worked in areas that I could not have learnt in any classroom setting. This confidence led me to teach myself other area of the computer arena. Before long I was designing and building websites for reputable companies. I knew, however, that without a university degree I could not get any further…
My long term education goal is to graduate from a reputable Canadian university (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) with an honours standing in Information Technology with a Business background. While studying in Canada, I would like to continue working just for the experience, even in non-related fields. I plan to continue doing volunteer work as I have done in the past. Volunteering with the Cancer Society in their Fund Raising drive has enabled me to give back to a needy and worthwhile cause. Also, assisting organizations and schools with their website and other computer related issues has aided me considerably, and allowed me to meet people of all walks of life. In fact, living in a whole new country is a learning experience in itself.
My long term life goal is to be successful at whatever avenue I decide to pursue in. After all, Success and knowledge go hand in hand. In the future, I want to start my own business; however, the type of business is unknown. As for now, I am pursuing my education and then where ever my feet take me next, will be the new point of my concentration…
