My Mission

As I've learned from my time in my Fundamentals of Management class, every organization has, or should have, a mission statement. Daft and Marcic define a mission statement as a "broadly stated definition of purpose that distinguishes the organization from others of a similar type." (Daft & Marcic, p. 164) Similarly to what I did with organizational goals, I will use this definition to create my own mission statement below.

My mission statement is: To use my knowledge of computer science to work in an industry in which I can better the lives of people through innovative technologies. 

I believe my mission defines me in the aspect of what I would like to do with my life. Upon reaching my goal, which I previously discussed in my last post, my mission statement will live on with me until I retire. This mission statement captures my willingness to help others. While there are numerous jobs available in every industry for Computer Science majors, I want to work for an industry that will actually improve the lives of the masses through technological breakthroughs. I do not want to be one of those programmers that just make fun applications or games, but rather I would want to have a big impact on people's lives. 

By defining a goal and a mission statement, I am acting more in relation to organizations of today. Similarly to these organizations with well defined goals and missions, I am on the pathway to success.
