Personal Statement
Degree objective: [Insert the Degree Course you are applying for]
Currently, the global economy is at infantile fixation, characterized by high rates of taxation, deterioration of price values of commodities, and immense low levels of demand market. Similarly, a clear scrutiny of any essential attribute of any newspaper will credibly demonstrate that recent headlines address more emerging economic problems than any other topic. In light with this, the grandness and relevancy of any economic issues or disciplines to the modern and sophisticated world have propelled me to gain a valuable interest to study economic at high levels, most preferably masters or even PhD. Besides, the likes of Carlos Slim Helu, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, also control the world’ s economy at a scintillating manner, that inspires me to join their league, and become one of the best economists and a prominent business person.
In addition to this, I am a zealous reader of economics articles, which encompass ‘The Times’ and ‘The Economists, developing an innate pursuit in the machinations of the global world. Consequently, I have participated in economic project, which entailed the setting up of a small business enterprise that involved selling a variety of products to fellow students while in college. Further, I was the utmost groundbreaker in my father’s business, and I contributed a lot to the management of the business, in which it accumulated a lot of profit and experienced a notable expansion. Moreover, I also had the chance to be involved with buying and selling of shares, which turned out to be more fascinating than I had initially imagined. With the vast involvement in economic related facets, I have gained tremendous management and communication skills.
My choice to pursue economics has also been embraced along with other academic achievements that have aided in consolidating, and corroborating this career path. Economics serve as an introductory bit that is decidedly indispensable in explaining the basic economic theories that regulate every aspect of choices in a given society. On the other hand, mathematics enables me to manipulate the techniques necessary for data analysis, calculate the basics in differential calculus, and in the development of linear models, which constitute linear algebra and linear programming. In line with this, English has also contributed majorly, in communication, understanding, and acquisition of the knowledge, since English is the core language used in teaching in the entire field of educational. Other principles; biology, physics, and chemistry, have also helped in diversifying my astuteness in logical awareness.
Parallel to this, I also had a passion in mechanical engineering, which emanated from the desire and the drive to build and modify machines. The passion started at a tender age, with a spectacular acquaintance to motor vehicles and a magnificent history, together with relevant documentaries in relation to the legend Ford. However, the dream was never accomplished, due to the attainment of low grades in my previous college. In tandem to this, the acquisition of low grades in mechanical engineering, amounted to lack of enough exposure, since the field was competitive, and, it was cumbersome to obtain opportunities for internship. Nevertheless, with the dual interest, both in economics and engineering, I have decided to capitalize in economics, as it offers the best career opportunities, which are exceedingly lucrative.
Outside academia, I have an endeavoring interest in learning new things in arts, literature, and politics. Similarly, I like debates, and I was a crucial member in a debate club, while in high school. The frequent participation in the club steered my life to a positive direction, since I was able to develop self-confidence, expound my thinking capabilities, and improve my grammar, as well. Moreover, my communication skills were highly ameliorated, and facets of teamwork and team building were equally improved. I learnt the various factors that were fundamental in facilitating successive teamwork.
In line with my vocation objectives, it is perfectly coherent that I enroll for an economic course in a renowned college or university, which in this case, is the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The course will go a long way in assisting me become a prodigiously trained economist who approaches his work diligently and with high professionalism. Moreover, I plan to sharpen the necessary factors for policy formation, with the knowledge I obtain from the economic course. In addition, with the impeccable knowledge that UCLA will equip me with, it is my wish to serve as an exceptional resource for the economists and the nation, as well. This I will achieve by sharing my experiences and knowledge. Conventionally, I have eminent ambitions, and in the future, I hope to be successful. Similarly, I desire to participate in every prospect of economic policy at high levels. Similarly, I would wish to gain more experience in the professional world, evidently, through an internship in a well-established and notable firm.
I am highly hopeful to get a chance to the university, and gain the necessary skills after undergoing the training at the University. Although economics is quite a challenging and a diverse discipline, I believe through hard work and determination, I will achieve the best.
