MBA Goals Fulfilled?

Just submitted a bunch of MBA applications and have already begun receiving invitations for interviews (recently had the one for Emory). Quick question for those who currently/already completed a 2-year full time program: 

Was your answer to the question "Why an MBA?" actually fulfilled? Whether it be trying to become a leader, network, lateral, etc, I am trying to formulate an answer to this question that can actually be done and sound like I am extremely motivated for all the right reasons. Not sound like bs. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

My why MBA was I wanted to take advantage of learning more hands on technical skills- I majored in business intelligence and also got a masters of finance and combined they have absolutely been helpful in my career even now- 7 years later. 

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
