Three good life decisions

There have been many decisions in the past I have made. The three best decisions of my life

were coming to Morehouse, learning how to play guitar, and choosing to work in San Francisco.

I said going to Morehouse was a good decision because the business program here is vigorous

and fulfilling. It is hard work now, but I know it will pay off in the future when I go work in

corporate America. This ties to my other great life decision which was deciding to work in San

Francisco at a company called Balance. The internship was perfect for a business major because

I was able to learn about call centers, home loans, and how the housing market works. This was

a remarkable experience for me because I had to cold call clients and book appointments for

them. The clients would get appointments to speak to housing counselors who would help them

get out of financial debt and avoid foreclosure. I also got a feel for what a desk job environment

feels like because I had to work in a cubicle while being next to other employees. The

employees and I worked as a team which help me develop leadership and interpersonal skills.

These are skills I can use for the rest of my life and take with me to my next job. Playing guitar

is another great decision because it became a passion of mine. It is an instrument I still play to

this day and I only get better as the years go on. Guitar has helped me make friends in school

and explore different music genres. This ties to both of my good decisions because guitar has

taught me to be disciplined, open minded, and persistent which are three traits that can help me

be successful in the workplace.
