            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 Sophomore Mathematics major and Secondary Education 
            minor at Elizabeth City State University located in Elizabeth City, 
            North Carolina. My goal is to become a mathematics educator and a certified 
            public accountant. I am aware that life has lots of stumbling blocks 
            that will appear, but I am determined 
            not to let them deter me from my goals.             I have always had an interest in mathematics 
                and accounting throughout high school. I knew that is was the field 
                that I wanted to pursue so this lead me toward my major in college. 
                While I am at ECSU I plan to partake 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.
