Statement of Purpose

It is not easy to accomplish life goals without encouragement and self determination. As an African American woman I am determined to accomplish all of my goals and aspirations. Hi, my name is TreAsia Fields, I am a freshmen Mathematics major and Secondary Education minor at Elizabeth City State University located in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

I have always had an interest in mathematics throughout high school. I knew that is was the field that I wanted to pursue so this leaned me toward my major in college. While I am at ECSU I plan to participate in many research projects in internships that will benefit me in my career field as well as making me a more educated and well rounded person. After receiving my baccalaureate degree from the superior institution of higher education, Elizabeth City State University, I will attend graduate school to pursue my master's and then later pursue a Ph.D. degree. With my degrees I would like to be an educator at an institution of higher learning. In addition to being an instructor at a college or university, operating my own accounting firm is also an endeavor of mines.

The goals and expectations that I have for myself are extremely high, yet they are still accomplishable in my eyes. These goals include graduating in May 2009 in the top percentage of my class, to get accepted in a top institution for graduate studies, and to acquire all the knowledge and skills necessary to be competitive in the work force.
