Essay:
My life experiences, past and current school work, and a strong commitment to succeed are what makes me a strong candidate to excel in the Kelley School of Business. I have assumed leadership roles on athletic teams in high school, as well as in the classroom, that have given me insight on how to do well in leadership roles. Courses like Business Communication, and The Computer in Business have laid a foundation for me to grown upon as a business student. Other courses in accounting, law, and economics have made me a well versed student.
A will to succeed has always been my most constant attribute. I thrive in high pressure situations, a skill that I will likely have to rely upon in the business world. Hard work, determination, and an unwavering focus are what separate me from most when the pressure is on. Working well in teams in another quality I posses. My ability to take on many different roles within a team is a reason I flourish when working with a group. I can lead, generate ideas, or simply be the glue that holds the team together.
My work experience has a given me a strong back ground in customer service, as well as allow me to grow my interpersonal communication, and sales skills. Having worked in large Fortune 500 companies such as UPS and Lowe's, I have gained a basic understanding of what it takes to to succeeded in a large company. These experiences have strengthened my desire to enter the business world.
At Kelley, I intend to major in Supply Chain Management. This field has long interested me for a variety of reasons. I hope to learn how modern supply chain concepts work, and how I can apply them upon graduation in my professional career. I want to develop my ability to think analytically, business knowledge, and continue to grow as a person and as a professional. Furthermore, I want to leave Kelley an all around professional ready to succeed in the business world. I am ready to seize my moment.
