Recommended: Academic journey

Our interests and talents define us; to determine these aptitudes and utilize them to channel energy in a productive manner is paramount. At Johns Hopkins University, I envision further cultivating my talent for leadership as I did while in high school, and in so doing both contribute and learn from my college experiences. While in high school, I acted as president of the Business Club and evolved the organization to eventually become the most popular club in the school. This experience provided me with a bright flashing arrow leading me toward the path of a future career. After my first foray into the field of finance in a small student-run club, I transitioned into more significant endeavors eventually culminating in an internship with a financial technology services firm named Active …show more content…

However, I know my education at JHU will change that. The professors and mentors I will meet at Carey’s School of Business are gatekeepers to unopened doors behind which lies an undiscovered wealth of knowledge. Pursuing Economics at Johns Hopkins will prepare me to take on an even more influential role at Active Allocator and qualify me to expand the company to even greater lengths. Academically, through the Carey School’s challenging Economics classes, I want to explore my deep interest in finance. Socially, through my involvement in various activities, I hope to positively impact the campus community. Whether that means leading study sessions or captaining a sports team, I eagerly look forward to a rich college experience. Having a natural curious thirst for academics, I can envision myself as a freshman doing research working to advance my internship at Active Allocator. As someone who recognizes the power of involvement, I can foresee myself joining the Woodrow Wilson Debate Council. I can already imagine my position as a leading member in the Financial Technology

    There is so much we don’t know, and my curiosity has driven me to learn more. This is why I feel that Cornell offers the best experience for someone interested in majoring in economics, due to the skill and vast knowledge of the professors teaching the subject. Two professors that stand out in particular to me are Francine Blau and Kaushik Basu. Blau, a prize winning economist for her studies on labor inequality, and Basu who was the chief economist for the World Bank, which maintains the chief goal of abolishing world poverty, epitomize the type of intellectual I aspire to be. To see two famed economists working at Cornell, looking to better the world inspires me, and I would be honored to be given the ability to learn under them at the university, so that I could grow in my intellectual and academic

    I like options, I like security, and I like power. With these wants, I knew at a very early age that I would enter business and thus I attended a college that specializes in the subject. In my first position out of school, I was hired by Dunhill Equities as a cold-caller. After several weeks of being hung up on by angry prospects, I decided that this career path would not lead me to success. I then moved within the firm to a position as sales assistant. While this was by no means my dream job, I learned a tremendous amount about business, and I gained useful exposure to the world of finance. Unfortunately, the company hit a period of instability, and after ten months I transferred with my boss to Coleman & Company. Thirteen months later, that company also began to fail, and I began to search for another path to advancement. With two strikes against me, I hit a home run and was hired by Sanford Bernstein into a challenging job with limitless opportunity for growth.

  • My Choice for Growing through Higher Education

    851 Words  | 2 Pages

    My academic background consists of two phases. My first college attempt, 1997-2002, was unsuccessful due largely to distraction caused by my father’s illness. The second phase started in 2009 with a new major, Consumer Economics, which better suited my interests. I was able to narrow the scope of my degree further and focused on policy creation, analysis, and implementation. During this phase, I earned a 3.7 GPA while working full-time at the University of Georgia. Although it took longer than normal to complete my undergraduate education, it is to date my greatest success; however, my educational growth is not finished. I have goals and ambitions that inspire me to continue onward until I am in possession of my graduate degree. My journey to a college education has been filled with experiences that have stunted but not stopped my growth. I am confident that, come what may, I will accomplish the goals that I’ve set. It is this perseverance that qualifies me as an excellent candidate for the Master’s in Public Administration at Columbus State University.
