Showcase I
Since writing my original "I am" and "I want to become" statements, I have experienced significant personal and professional growth that aligns with the aspirations I set out to achieve. I have transitioned to a new role, further clarifying my career path in both the philanthropic and for-profit sectors, which ties directly to my initial desire to collaborate with others and make a meaningful impact.
My interest in corporate social responsibility has deepened, and I remain committed to traveling the world, helping others, and growing alongside individuals who share similar passions—goals that echo my desire to build a network and positively influence the people around me.
​
I now appreciate my education more profoundly, recognizing its importance in preparing me for real-world challenges. This resonates with my original goal to excel academically with intention and purpose. I have sought out professional development opportunities and actively engaged in one-on-one networking, fulfilling my aspiration to expand my connections and develop as a leader.
Though I have not participated in another internship, balancing full-time work and full-time studies has strengthened my time management and adaptability skills, allowing me to apply real-world lessons to my academic pursuits. Reflecting on this journey, I see how far I’ve come in embodying the qualities I aspired to. I feel more confident in my ability to create the future I envisioned—one where I am not only professionally successful but personally fulfilled.

I Want to Become...
I aspire to become the person that younger Lexi looked up to. That vision encompasses not just being a role model but also feeling confident in my abilities to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. One of my primary goals is to excel in my academic endeavors, completing school work with intention and purpose. This means striving for good grades and truly understanding and applying the knowledge I gain.
Furthermore, I want to extend my reach beyond the classroom. Building my network is essential for personal and professional growth. I aim to create
impactful relationships for my benefit and to support and uplift those around me. Collaboration and connection are fundamental aspects of my personal development.
Equally important is finding that elusive work-life balance. I want to count on myself to strike the proper equilibrium between my career aspirations and personal well-being. It’s a crucial aspect of a fulfilling life, and I am committed to achieving it.
Happiness is a critical component of this journey. I want to become someone who relies on myself for my happiness. This means cultivating a positive mindset, focusing on gratitude, and caring for my mental and emotional well-being. When I am happy and confident; I can shine as brightly as the woman, friend, honors student, and employee that I am.
Lastly, I want to take these characteristics to the next phase of my life and become even prouder of who I am and where I am going. This journey is about self-improvement, setting and achieving my own goals, and positively impacting the
world around me. It’s an exciting path, and I am determined to walk it purposefully and enthusiastically.
