Scholarship / Strive for your goal ! : Self-introduction for KGSP [2]
Hello, I'm planning apply for KGSP for Master's degree at Korea. I don't know whether what I wrote for self-introduction part is good or not. I have revised and read so many times, but I am still not confident about my essay. Therefore, I think it would be great if you can suggest me where to go, the topic I should include or exclude, and does I write out of topic or not.
Thank you in advance :)
o Your course of life, your view of life, study background, your hopes & wishes, etc
o Your education and work experience, etc., in relation to the KGSP program
o Your motivations for applying for this program
o Reason for study in Korea
To simply explain about myself, I graduated from Finance major and Chinese Minor. My interest and passion toward business began since I was in high school. I started doing my own small business via online. Therefore, I decided to continue my interest by choosing Bachelor's degree of business administration with "Finance major". From my point of view, majoring in finance could provide me the fundamental business knowledge that is mostly needed in every kind of business.
I do believe in the quote "Where there is a will, there is a way". Success is neither from luck nor what you have from the very beginning, but it does come from "one's will". This is what my parents have taught me since I was a child, and it has become the quote that I have always kept in mind. The moment that marked my life is the time I was about to have an entrance examination. My ideal university requires advanced English skill. However, I would truly say that I'm not good at English, but I do believe in the quote and what my parents have taught and take it into the action. One day my dream finally comes true, I passed an entrance examination, which was TOEFL550. Whenever I think of this achievement, I always feel proud of myself. Moreover, I can be the inspiration for my high school juniors who also were not good at English to try hard to achieve their goals.
During my undergraduate life, I have dedicated my best toward not only in studying but also in participating extracurricular activities. I have been finally acknowledged as an honor student, and I also keep in mind that studying in the class is not enough toward my real-life. I attended volunteer club, value investment club, multicultural club and being the committee for some university's activities. For volunteer club's activity, I attended fundraising activity, which aimed to raise the fund for the school in the rural area that needed help. The activity taught me to understand more about the happiness from being the "Giver". Being the member of value investment club allowed me to understand more about the investment, and I got the opportunity to do stock simulation. I did see clearer picture about the global economy and investment world. Moreover, I had an opportunity to have an internship at Bank of China (Thai) Public Company Limited, in corporate business department. My main responsibility is to prepare the financial information and analyze clients' current financial status for the credit approval. From this valuable experience, I got to be closer with finance world, and it inspires me to build my goal about working in the bank of Thailand or Korean company as financial analysis.
Right after my bachelor's degree graduation, I went to China alone for language course. I always keep in mind about the importance of language which could turn me to have stronger personal competitive advantage. This made me know that I am a quick and active learner. Going to read book at library with my foreign friends became my everyday's routine during my life in China. I have made friends who come from different countries, but what amazing was we used the same language to communicate which was Chinese. No matter how diverse we are in terms of language, personality, and preference, but we can adapt to each other. Throughout my attempt, I can finally achieve the Chinese proficiency test (HSK) with a satisfactory test result.
Now the question arises to "Why Korea for master's degree?" My interest about Korea has never decreased since high school. Korea is always still in my mind. I have questioned myself so several time about what lies behind Korea's great success in terms of fast growing economy, technological development, and global top ranking education institutes. How come the country could still maintain this economic growth and become one of most affluent countries in Asia. All of these have motivated me to interest more about Korea and decide to apply for KGSP program. Additionally, the reason why I choose Yonsei university for master's degree is because the university provides excellent global programs for international students in terms of international studies. I have also been motivated by seniors who studied there, and they guaranteed me about what I will get from here which could benefit my future career path. I have read the university's mission, "Yonsei University's Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) has one overriding mission: to enable our graduates to become members of a "Global Corps"", and it does really make me recognize that my decision for applying to the university is absolutely right. International trade, finance and management major under graduate school of international studies could fulfill my interest, passion and dream toward business in more specific ways. I can study more about how institution both private and public companies conduct their business internationally under many significant factors such as policy, law, economic condition. I have studied Korean by myself. The more I learn Korean, the more I am fascinated by the country. In addition, the program also supports me for learning Korean which would be my fourth language skill. Moreover, it would be best if I could continue my master's degree from this program because I could reduce financial burden from my parents. I want them to feel proud of me. One day, when I look back, I will definitely proud of myself that once I applied and got the opportunity from KGSP program. I'm sure that I would make this opportunity from KGSP program worth in many ways.
