Good Action Admission Essay Example

I really identify with Pablo Picasso’s thought of “Action is the foundational key for all success.” Therefore in order to further succeed I am taking action to achieve my future success. I hope to be an even more successful business owner than I already am.
In my junior year of college, two of my friends and I built up our own business. The business is an online to offline (O2O) business similar to Grub Hub or Eat 24; however our business is called foodeasygo.com. At foodeasygo we collaborate with almost 30 different local Asian food restaurants. We provide a delivery service for restaurants that do not deliver normally. In doing this we have established a very good reputation with the Chinese market in Boston particularly. In doing so we are cultivating our own business but also generating more revenue and business for the 30 restaurants we have partnered with. We are now handling thousands of orders per month. With this newfound growth we are now the largest Chinese delivery team in Massachusetts.
While this success is gratifying I would like to further my success and business sense. In realizing that wanted more I also realized that my knowledge is very limited in the aspect of running a company. I also lack the skills and knowledge of how to make a company turn into a bigger and better company. My biggest lack of knowledge is in the management field. In order to better myself and my company I want to pursue a Masters degree in the management field at Northeastern University.
I received my Bachelor’s degree from Northeastern in Finance and Supply Chain in May of 2015. Since graduating I have worked on bettering my business and decided I want to return to school at my alma mater. Northeastern University is such a wonderful financial institution that has taught me so much in the business field already, however I feel like I can still learn so much at Northeastern. Furthermore, Northeastern was my home while completely my undergraduate degree. I have so many unforgettable memories associated with Northeastern and would like to continue to make more memories. The world-class faculty, cutting-edge learning facilities, and global student community that Northeastern has to offer will help me to achieve my goal of bettering my management knowledge and my business because of it. Furthermore, the global student community gives me the opportunity to interact with students from across the globe. Being given this unique opportunity to diversify my interactions can help my business branch out to deliver for more than just the Asian market restaurants. Foodeasygo could soon be delivering for all different types of cuisines choices.
Wanting to pursue more success with my business stems from just more than just my love for Northeastern and my drive, it comes from my parents. Both of my parents are successful business owners back in my home country, China. My parents’ successes and business sense have strongly affected my interest in business since I was a young girl. My parents did more than just spark my interest in business; they pushed me to believe that I could in fact succeed.
