My Personal Values

Personal Values: the Key to Success
Throughout my college career, my personal values have been the basis for my academic and extracurricular achievements. Integrity, work ethic, passion for service, and focus on growth are the main values that have shaped my attitudes and behaviors. By incorporating these values into my personal philosophy, I have reached a high level of academic success, dedicated my time to serving others, and seized numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth, making me a qualified candidate for the GEICO Achievement Award.
First, I deserve the GEICO achievement award due to my outstanding academic record at the University of Houston. I am an international student double majoring in Management Information
Furthermore, as an international student, I see myself as an ambassador for my country in the United States, and I want to be an excellent representative of Venezuela in the university.

Additionally, the Achievement Award would allow me to be a step closer to reaching my future goals: next month, I will lead a group of volunteers who will travel to New Orleans during spring break as part of the Alternative Service Break sponsored by the University’s Center for Student Involvement. Together, we will help reconstruct and repair homes impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and build a community garden. My goal as a site leader is to build a strong community among participants and to transmit my passion for service to them. Moreover, in the near future, I want to complete the Ted Bauer Leadership Certificate Program, a program sponsored by the Bauer College of Business that aims to enhance students' capacity to lead ethically and effectively all while being in the service of others. Finally, my biggest short-term goal is to join the Program for Excellence in Selling at the University of Houston, the nation’s leading
