Globalization and technological advances made me realize that I could play a pivotal role in converting small family businesses into a national or even international powerhouse.

I believe education is a major pillar in the economic development of many countries.

Question 1

My intended major is mathematical economics. As a child, it was intriguing to see that some successful people made predictions about potential risks in the economy, and the predictions came true. This sparked my interest in mathematics and economics. I came to learn that Mathematics plays a significant role in economics; a role that has been increasing in importance as the years go by. Consequently, I have come to appreciate the fact that Mathematics is progressively important in regard to the expression as well as communication of concepts in economics. Today, activity in financial markets is generally governed by mathematical models. My ...

Test Predictors of Success in Academia:

“Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.”
Alexander Graham Bell
After returning to college at age 43, I felt disappointed to discover that I missed obtaining an ACT score by only one point: 24 vs 25. However, having maintained a GPA of 3.8 clearly demonstrates that this small gap is not an accurate predictor for successfully completing academic requirements and earning a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Accountancy at W.P. Carey School of Business. Another indication of my academic success is membership in Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society.
Even though I have 20 years ...

I have grown up knowing that the world deserves intellectuals, individuals with the capacity to right the wrongs of society. Also, Elbert Hubbard once said, “There is no failure except in no longer trying”, (Hubbard). Having had the privilege of studying in three different countries, and at some point being home-schooled until age of 14, I feel like I have had tremendous experience as a traveler. My academic traveling was further heightened when I went to England as Exchange student for one year. During this period, I was living in a boarding house. It was an awesome experience to meet people ...

My Personal Statement to Take Up BS in Accountancy
I was born in a traditional Chinese family. Likewise, I attended a very traditional Chinese school. The lesson that my family and school taught me is that “practice makes perfect.” The only way I can improve my grades is to listen to lectures carefully and do more practices after class. The idea helped me to progress in my studies and I felt mostly interested in the accounting and economics disciplines. Afterwards, when I saw a website about the benefits of studying in an American Community College for students who do ...

Personal Statement

Economic recession is a disaster facing all economies around the globe. The few with the ability to forecast such a disaster before it hit, are financial forecasters and economists. They predict before it happens and try to eradicate it after. They are the real saviors in our world and becoming one of them is my ultimate dream.
I decided to develop my skills about figures and calculations and entered Accounting and Finance major at London Metropolitan University. There, I attained honors for good academic results. I realized that mathematics allows making forecasts and analyses, and this makes ordinary calculations ...

I believe that the medical sociology is isolated as a social institution. As a social institution, medicine has value (objectives, principles, and codes), structure, and function, form its organization, symbols, statuses and roles (doctors, patients, government, etc.), the system of vocational stratification and vocational education. Allocation of medical sociology as an independent branch was only in the 50s of 19th century in the United States. For the first time, a new industry was in demand for sociological education student health professionals (Cockerham, 2011).

It is important for an individual to be successful to have knowledge of different subjects and fields rather than only one.

However I have not restricted my knowledge to only this subject but have learnt other related subjects as well including Economics, Management, Business management etc. In addition to this, it is also significant for an individual to have ...

In a fast developing world of job opportunities, there are only few careers that remain as extremely important as they were even few centuries ago. I am strongly convinced that Finance can be considered one of those areas of study that will always be a clear direction to take when choosing a career path – in fact, money makes the world go round, and unless you know how it works, you are not able to be a part of the world’s driving force.
I am inclined to believe that my interest in Finance was sparked by my mother. Since she was interested ...

Ray Lyman Wilbur, a renowned American medical doctor once said “In a world full of uncertainties, the record of what has gone before as human experience is as sure and reliable as anything that we are born with” (UOFLIFE, pp.71). Experience makes up a vital fragment of our personality since it influences our tastes, preferences, inclinations as well as the dictates of our passion. My working experience is an apt manifestation of this phenomenon. My aspiration to delve into the world of business, particularly economics, has been greatly influenced by my seven years working experience in vastly interactive and social environment.

My interest in accounting dates back to the time I was in elementary school. I was a straight A student in mathematics from first grade to fourth grade. At the beginning of second grade, I bumped into Mark, who lived with his family a few meters from our house. It was not long before an impregnable friendship blossomed between the two of us. The friendship grew so strong that we used to spend the whole weekend together, either at Marks family house or our house. On one weekend, Marks father, an accountant, was home. I admired the fact that Marks father was ...

I knew I would go on to pursue a Master’s in Management in order to take my professional career an ...

Statement of Purpose
In the highly competitive and complex world that we strive to conquer daily, we sometimes forget that our most common struggle is being human. We focus on creating a selfhood based on a limiting personal or professional recognition when our common denominator is defining our humanity. I realize that my journey in defining self has been one of shaping my inner being struggling against a strong, external influencer. Recently, I reached a pivotal turning point in my life by redirecting my objectives from the standard and trusted environmental science direction chosen by my traditional Indian family. ...

Since middle school, I have been interested in Business related majors. I was influenced by my mother, who is a Japanese professor. She has always told me that if I wanted to make myself useful and start my own business, school was the best place for me to learn those skills in order to solve problems of the future. She made me realize that I need to accumulate as much as possible knowledge and find the connection between books and society. The reason for which I chose to major in management science for the undergraduate school is because I would ...

Curiositea Gift Company, the project that I developed together with other four girls, had the mission to sell affordable handmade vintage teacups filled with tea scented candles, shower gel or bath bombs, separately or as a gift.

The direct buyers, however, are much more varied, ranging from students to adults who desire to purchase gifts for their friends, mothers, and acquaintances. The main marketing strategy consisted in a combination of strong social media ...

Life experiences and people shape us and define who we are. I would have never become the person I am today if it was not for University of Wisconsin-Madison. The fantastic university life in the U.S. has turned me into a grown-up in many aspects and has made my choices and actions more mature. Apart from cutting edge knowledge, I had the opportunity to communicate with students coming from different nations and cultures. My world outlook has broadened drastically and these experiences have helped me be more cooperative and communicative.

In 1929 my grandfather took the train that runs along the Mediterranean coast from Haifa in the historic Palestine, to the city of Beirut in Lebanon. He did so to catch a ship taking off to Brazil, the New World. There was a strong wave of migration to the new world, even though the only way of traveling at that time was by ship, and this took over three months to reach the port of Rio de Janeiro.

Once at the new land, officials referred to my grandfather as the Turku, even though he was, in fact, Arabic. They did so as ...

Perhaps it is a little bit clichéd today, but the world is increasingly interconnected. Modern, affordable air travel has increased people’s capacity to travel to far-off lands for both business and pleasure. Furthermore, the rise of the Internet has facilitated contact and communication with diverse cultures, which not too long ago would have seemed impossible. Finally, the British Empire, and its successor in global hegemony the United States of America, along with Hollywood and the Internet have cemented the use of English as a lingua franca in International affairs and business. Despite the rise of English, significant portions of ...

In the following words, I shall share what I have done in my life and what I hope to achieve in the future.

Life knowledge and its application are acquired – in each and every respect – via a form of education. That has always been the case. A quotation attributed to the Chinese philosopher Confucius (551-479 BC) advised: “If your plan is for one year plant rice. If your plan is for ten years plant trees. If your plan is for one hundred years educate children.” That philosophy, emphasizing the tremendous importance of education in planning for our longer term future, is every bit as true today as it was over two thousand years ago – probably more so in this ...

Japan is a unique society with no equal in the world. It’s isolated geography, breathtaking mountains, eclectic cities, and island status offers an unparalleled experience to the body and soul. Since I had started learning about yoga approximately eight years ago, I became increasingly interested in Shinto and Buddhist monasteries and the ancient techniques that they employ. On an academic and a spiritual level, no other country can provide me with the depth and breadth of learning experience that can be had in Japan.
I am a renaissance person by nature and enjoy to be actively engaged in multiple projects ...

The foundation for my zeal to study in business related courses grew up after my graduation from Bodwell High School in December 2011. This was after learning that entrepreneurship and innovation are the key elements in driving an economy and building ones future (Wolf 2009, pp.34). I learnt that business is the core foundation of growth and that the government is in the forefront in pushing for studying business. The course has a ready market in terms of employment and sole proprietorship.

My choice to transfer to the University of Southern California, is one which I have not taken lightly, and I have done so in the hope that it will improve my chance of both enjoying my university experience, as well as my chances of graduating with a strong qualification under my belt.
