Christian Stokes

Majored in Political Science
The Citadel, Class of 2018
From Nacogdoches, TX

I am very driven towards success and the accomplishment of any task that is set before me. I strive to surpass any and all standard requirements or minimums by putting forth the extra effort that others will not. I excel at going that extra mile to ensure a job is completed correctly and with a minuet attention to detail. I am very motivated to upkeep this attitude and work ethic at all times in order to create a consistent and healthy work environment for myself and my coworkers/teammates. By doing all of the above over a number of years in the work force and at school I have been able to develop a self-efficacy rooted in success. I am a very team oriented person. Working efficiently and effectively with others to achieve a common goal is a task that I welcome and look forward to every day. I believe working as a team will always have the potential to oust the work of an individual in almost every area and setting. I am excited to contribute to a team oriented environment and develop close relationships with the people I work for or with in the work force one day. I intend to graduate from The Citadel in 2018 with and Undergraduate degree in Political Science with a focus in Law and Legal Studies. Attending The Citadel, The military institution of South Carolina, has helped to develop me in many areas including: team work, leadership, and ethical decision making to name a few. After college graduation I plan to attend Law School and perhaps study Corporate and Securities Law.
