Free About My Major Personal Statement Sample

The business person who is both socially astute and civilly responsible is the one that will go the farthest. I firmly believe this, and take it to heart in my interaction with both the world of academia and the world outside the university system. I come to that system intending to pursue a major in business. I believe that by doing so I will be able to give back to my community, and the world at large, through pursuing business prospects that are good for both me, and society as a whole. This outlook enables me to move forward as part of a vast and growing world community. I intend to use the knowledge I gain in my time in the university system to create dynamic, socially responsible business practices where I am employed.
I have always felt comfortable in the business arena, and in using that acumen to benefit those around me. I graduated from high school in Japan in 2012, and moved into an English as a second language program for a year. This immersion in the English language allowed me to move from there to Foothill College, which I have been attending since last fall. This has sharpened my desire to remain in the United States of America for at least several years, while I expand both my English proficiency and my knowledge of the world-wide business community. I believe that my time and studies in the United States will serve me well in expanding my horizons, and give me valuable skills to bring back to Japan with me when I return. That is, I plan to return to Japan with my knowledge and talents, after working in the United States for several years. I believe that with that which I have gained in my academic and business career will allow me to start a tech company in Japan, which will allow me purchase in the greater world of both business and technology.
I have a great deal of experience applying business principals to the real world, particularly in a context that is socially responsible and beneficial. Last summer, I volunteered in my hometown of Sendai, helping local farmers sell their produce in a town in Tokyo. Sendai was heavily damaged by the 2011 earthquake, which did serious harm to the infrastructure of farming in the area. In addition, the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster effected the area as well, by causing many individuals to believe that the soil, and thus the crops of Sendai were polluted with radiation. In an effort to break that stigma, I began relationships with sellers in the small Tokyo town of Chofu, where I had previously lived. I made connections with small stores and sellers of produce and vegetables in Chofu, and arranged for the transport and introduction of products from Sendai. This was beneficial to Sendai farmers, who were able to sell their produce, and to Chofu stores, which got produce at an excellent price.
I very much hope to bring my knowledge back to Japan with me, when I return after working in the United States for several years. A degree in business will be invaluable in the way I wish to help the world, and the way in which I believe I can give back to my community. I believe that the company I seek to start could not only add to the overall economic stability of Japan, but also find ways to encourage the society and culture in which is develops.
