I scored 71 points at evaluating my motivation. The lowest points I had on “I create the time I need to complete tasks well”, “I stay focused once I sit down to study” and ”I avoid actions that might sabotage my study”. I definitely have a strong sense of purpose, and I have my strong reasons for study and of course I understand how my study will benefit my life, but my laziness sometimes bothers me to do tasks in advance. I think the problem why it is so hard for me to concentrate and to study beforehand, can be because I already finished my studies some time ago and started working. After 2 years of working experience I forgot how it is to come home and to have to do homework and I need a little bit of time to get used to study again. Especially taking in consideration that amount of new information that we have during studying curse is much bigger than I had in my country and it is in foreign language, it becomes even more challenging. Nevertheless, I have noticed that now it is easier for me to manage my time more wisely and I do my homework faster than in first months. I hope during B cluster I will improve my studying skills even more, because now I have experience how does it work. I plan to divide all tasks into small parts and to make each part in different day. Knowing that I need to spend only half of hour on one subject instead of 5 hours will make me feel that the task is not so hard and boring. Every weekend I will evaluate how it worked during week and with time I hope I will be able to add some extra tasks that are not part of the program but will be very helpful for my future carrier.

My weak points are related to time-management. I find myself strong motivated and I found subjects interesting, but I am often stacked on what assignment to start firstly and in general to start making them early. If I know that I have time until deadline I will procrastinate until it becomes urgent. Then I begin to make it and sometimes I can even do not sleep at night. Because I am perfectionist, I cannot do it poorly, but doing it well- takes time. Such my attitude leads to that I am or lying in bed and wasting time on dreaming about something, or I do not sleep and eat because I had too much to do. Every few days I make list of my “To do’s” and always rewrite it because some points that are not urgent are lacked behind. Even when I finally start to do something from early I cannot concentrate. All around me irritates me and distracts. I can suddenly remember that I need to check something on the internet, or I want to eat some fruits, or I want to drink tea. Sometimes I have the feeling that my brain works better only when I am in a harry. Like an adrenalin. Because is deadline and I have no choice. Then I am very concentrated and everything feels so interesting and easy. Inspiration comes up to me and I have great ideas how to make assignment better. But now is another problem, I have no more time to fulfill all my ideas. Due to lack of time I sometimes do something worse than I really could. And of course this frustrates me. I feel very upset and disappointed of myself. My perfectionism makes me to be angry on myself and on my laziness. I do not know how to change it, because I have this problem since my childhood. I have read different opinions and suggestions how to make it work. I draw schemas, plans, wrote lists, analyzed my behavior and impact of environment around me, tried to make wisely priorities, but nothing helps. I know how to make it in theory and when I read a good piece of advice, I always think: “What a brilliant idea! I definitely will use it!” But when it comes from thinking and understanding to “doing”, it always repeats the same. “I have so much time, I will do it tomorrow” I promise myself that I will start tomorrow, then again tomorrow and so on.

Another problem occurs when I have too much assignments and I don’t know from what to start. Everything feels very important and instead of to start doing something, I get nervous and waste time thinking: “I would not manage to do it.”

The last problem I deal with is too much information makes me feel worried. I want to keep all in mind, not to lose any opportunity, to use effectively and fully information around me. And again I do not know how and where to use information or opportunities wisely. For example I know that at HAN there are facilities that I can use. But I do not use it. Firstly, because I do not know how to find them, and where exactly I can find them. Secondly I do not know how they can help me. But the thing that I know that they are, but I do not use them makes me feel unsatisfied with myself. I very often have a feeling that I lose something very important. That I could do more, better, faster, smarter. Maybe I am too strict with myself and my expectations are too high. Also I often compare myself with those who do something better than me and ask myself :”Why I cannot do as well as they do?”

In conclusion I want to say that my problems can be called as a lack of self-discipline and a lack of self-confidence. Up until now they resulted to be very destructive in achieving my goals. I hope in near future I will find solution to improve my time-management skills and to implement my theoretical knowledge regarding this subject more effectively. I think the fact that I have determined my problems and am working on solving them is already a good beginning to the successful result.

Your personality and your skills

1. Describe your character and explain what made you the person you are today.
I am patient and kind and I am always eager to help people. I hate injustice and when I face it, this makes me very upset. I worry about bad things that happened in the world and I feel guilty that I can't help all people, even though I understand that is beyond my skill. Maybe sometimes I'm too sensitive, but I cannot control this. I am persistent and perfectionist. I cannot call myself a hard working person, because if I need to do something that I don't like I will procrastinate it as long as I can, but when I am interested and I really like doing something I will never do it hurry-scurry. I won't go to sleep neither eat, until I have done my work in the best way I can do it.

2. What is your background in education, culture, family and friends, etc?
I love my life and people who take part of it. I love my family and try to spend with them as much time as I can. My family taught me what are most important and valuable things in life and I am grateful to them for that.
What about my studies, I graduated high school and at that moment I was confused and did not know exactly what I want to do in my life. While I was thinking what my passion is and where I would prefer to work, I was admitted to the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova. Since most of my family members are employed in sectors related to economy. The area which I pursued my Bachelor studies is Economics Science in the field of training Business and Administration. I hated studying there, it was not interesting for me. In that time of my life I was more interested in spending time with my friends and join party’s. During the last course I had to do an internship in a company. Employees with whom I used to work during my internship liked me and suggested to Administration to hire me after my graduating.  And that is how I got my first job. From July 2014 and till august 2016 I had been working in an international agro-industrial holding located in the Republic of Moldova,  “TRANS-OIL GROUP OF COMPANIES”. It is a group of companies engaging in a wide range of activities, including farming, grain handling and storage, flour and vegetable oil and meal production. I started working as simple manager and after one year of hard-working I was promoted in treasury department as financier. When I started working in this company I had understood what a big mistake I made when I was skipping lessons and was studding bad at the Academy. I realized how important is knowledge and find out that economy is very interesting for me.

3. What are your abilities / strengths?
Strengths: I am nea and I keep all things around me in order. I am perfectionist and when I need to do something I dedicate myself to this and try to do it perfect. I am tolerant and patient with people, I never judge anyone, on the contrary I try to understand people’s intentions and to give them a chance.

4. What are your weaknesses?
Weaknesses: I am too demanding to myself and often feel remorse about something that I did not do, or did not as well as I wanted. Instead of going farther I stuck with my mistakes, analyze them, invent a punishment for myself, etc. I waste time on accumulating this negative energy and dissatisfaction of myself.

5. What are your likes and dislikes?
Dislikes: injustice, insincerity, to argue with someone, to feel cold
Likes: sun, traveling, nature, spending time with my family, movies, good music, wearing beautiful clothes,  to laugh, to dream.
Since childhood I was always interested in fashion. I sewed clothes for my dolls and often dreamed to become a model. I grew up, and my height is only 165 cm, so it is not enough for being model. I had stopped dreaming about fashion world, but still felt that this domain was for me. I adore different tissues, styles of clothes, sophisticated dresses. This year I have finished sewing courses and now I can make clothes by myself, what makes me very happy. If I could draw, maybe I would apply for Fashion and Design degree. However I have more aptitude for mathematics, than creative imagination. I would be very happy if I have possibility to combine both. For example, working as financial manager in the clothing factory or to open my fashion atelier.

Choices concerning your future

6. Why did you choose to study at Arnhem Business School?
At April 2015 I came in HAN for the first time. We were looking for university for my fiancé, because he dreamed about studying Automotive Engineering. From all options we had seen we liked HAN most of all. So when came my time to move in The Netherlands, I did not had much choice were I am going to study.

7. Why did you choose this particular Bachelor course?
I want to repair mistakes from my past and to improve my professional skills, to gain more knowledge. After two years of working experience I have understood that I like to work with numbers, formulas. I like to think logically and to try to find solutions in different situations.
