On the surface, the meaning of work for me is consistent with most individuals, to support myself financially. Beyond the surface, work gives me the feeling of accomplishment, fulfillment, and contribution to society as a whole. Work is a means of expressing myself, applying the skills and knowledge that I have gained in my life as well as a place to gain new knowledge and skills. I believe that success in life is dependent upon many things; one of the most important of them is giving back to society more than I have been given and that can be accomplished by doing what I am best at and believe in. |
