My passion for business has been the guiding force that has determined the educational path I’ve taken during the past several years. After completing a degree in Finance in King Saud University, I am now ready to take the next step in that path, which is to attain an MBA degree from the Claremont Graduate University.
Although I have enjoyed excellent grades from studying Finance, I believe that my proficiency in this field alone will not be enough to help me succeed in business, whether I end up working for other companies or I later decide to establish my own business. I believe that business comprises of more than just crunching the numbers and that it also entails personal interactions, management, and leadership skills among others. Indeed, I feel that there’s still a plethora of knowledge that I have yet to learn and in lieu of the work experience that I still lack, I am confident that completing a graduate degree in business will be the best training ground for me. I feel positive that this will give me a comprehensive exposure to the world of business while at the same time allowing me to develop the theoretical knowledge around which good business practices are established.
I am a very ambitious person. As such, I would like to ensure that I am fully equipped with all of the tools that I need before I actually go out and join the world of business. I know that the industry is a very competitive one and I would like to ensure that I am as prepared as I can be and that I can bring my own unique contributions to the field.
Aside from being an ambitious person, I am also a very sociable person. This is the reason why I came to North America, particularly in Canada and the United States. I would like to experience other cultures and be able to interact with people of various backgrounds. I believe that these will serve as additional learning experiences for me, as I know that business will also expose me later on to various cultures and to people with various personalities. In this regard, I feel that the best way for me to learn would be to gain first-hand experience. In the same regard, I have ensured that learning the English language is part of my educational goals. I recognize that a proficiency in English is an important skill when running a business, especially with the ongoing trend in globalization.
Furthermore, I consider myself to be a hard-working person. I work best under pressure, and as my previous employers can attest, I’m sincere with my job and I make sure to deliver quality results. I am also good with technology, which I believe will be an additional asset on my part. Needless to say, I’m one person who never stops trying to improve myself. I believe that there’s always something new to learn and I always keep myself open to new experiences, new environments, and new ideas. I also make sure to grab every opportunity that comes my way. In this regard, I believe that completing a graduate degree is the next opportunity that is beckoning at me. For this endeavor, I would be greatly privileged and honored if you would allow me to take my next big step at your esteemed university.
