Admission essay excerpt

Back in college, I find myself handling too many responsibilities.  Apart from beating the deadline for some of my school requirements, I also have to find time to spend with family and friends, afterschool activities, and do my part-time job.  When asked how I’m able to accomplish it all and graduate with honors as a cum laude, I always say that keeping a positive attitude has always been the key to my modest success.  Under pressure, I’ve learned to be more flexible, creative, and efficient.  Also under such circumstances, I became a better problem-solver and have learned the value of cooperation by being a team player.  Knowing fully well what I’m capable of and how I’ve always tried to find ways to accomplish several tasks at once, I feel that I’m ready to take the next step and tap into more career opportunities.  Having high hopes for the future, along with a strong sense of responsibility, I plan on becoming an internal revenue agent through my MBA education at ______.
