Undergraduate / Lehigh Essay. What do you and Lehigh have in common? [8]
Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with this supplemental essay, It's a bit late so I would love to get feedback as soon as possible, I'm having some trobule finding a good way to link the second and the third paragraph, and also giving the essay a strong conclusion. P.S: I'm from Mexico
My love for finances began when I was 13, my dad invited me to lunch with a friend of his, before leaving for lunch his friend offered to show us around his office inside the Mexican Stock Exchange. A new passion emerged in me, not because of the intensity the people working there had, but because I felt that the world's secrets were hidden in there. It seemed like people working there knew a different world that I didn't, and I was eager to find about it.
As I get older my passion only grows, everyday I'll go through a review of the stock indexes and world currencies using my Bloomberg mobile app feeling like a trader; but I know there are still thousands of secrets I haven't discovered, and to do so I'll need the best help possible. Enters Lehigh; with all the opportunities the school offers, it would impossible to graduate without knowing by then all the secrets those people at the Mexican Stock Exchange knew. Facilities such as Mountaintop or the Financial Services Lab, combined with beyond the classroom resources like a student-run investment portfolio or a summer internship at Calvin Klein in Hong Kong make me believe Lehigh and I have a great passion for implementing finances and non-traditional ways of learning into daily life.
And speaking of math and finances, few other things can be considered a universal language, for example art or food. But Lehigh and I share another one, passion for football. Even though it's for a different type of football, the passion is the same. Few things can compare to the atmosphere in a "El Clásico" match between America and Chivas or Mexico vs U.S, and I can imagine it's almost the same as being in a Lehigh-Lafayette game. Which is why I'm sure almost everyone at campus knows how good it feels to see your team beat it's biggest rival at home, a feeling I hope to experience at Lehigh, both for my football teams and the Mountain Hawks.
