Undergraduate / 'what I've done in my high school time" - Something about yourself... Penn State [9]
Hi @dumi and everyone else,
I've been super busy lately so I didnt have time to go to essayforum.
Here's my edited essay:
Over many years of living and studying in Viet Nam, I've gained many experiences through my culture, the extra curriculums that I was involved in, and also the surrounding educational environment. These experiences have matured me and made me who I am today as an active student.
First of all, my country, Vietnam, has always valued education. I realize that my family is not an exception. As an example, my parents truly care about my education since they have put a lot of effort into giving me an opportunity to study in an international high school in Viet Nam. International School Ho Chi Minh City was where I had memorable time with amazing friends and teachers. I was taught basic knowledge to prepare for the future. It was where I had chances to get involved in many clubs, associations, and activities.
One of the associations I was involved in was Student Representative Council (SRC). Being the Head of SRC had given me a chance to express myself, to "break out of my shell". I had organized many activities for the school, from social charities to school events. I had to overcome problems, eliminate misunderstanding within the council and staff body along with this my mission was to bring other students memorable times spent in school. On top of that, being the Head of SRC had inevitably taught me countless valuable experiences, such as problem solving skills, patience, leadership, team working, time management and communication.
Most importantly, high school was where I was taught many interesting subjects, however my passion was for Business Studies. I studied this subject from GCSE through to A level over 4 years. I found something very artistic, subtle and attractive about this subject. My analyses and evaluation skill was developed and my efforts were not in vain, I was one of three students who had scored highest percentages within AS Level Business Studies Examination so I had a chance to move on to the higher level - A2. To continue studying A2 was bliss. It enabled me to focus on the Marketing module and continue studying hard.
Among of all the Business Studies' area, my main interest is marketing and my dream is to work in the marketing sector of a big multinational company in the near future. As I have researched, the Smeal College of Business at Pennsylvania State University is one of the best undergraduate business schools in the States, which offers smaller classes and an excellent education. In point of fact, I have a great feeling that Pennsylvania State University is where I am meant to be, where my gained experiences are my weapons to be a successful student. I hope I would study Marketing at a higher level at Pennsylvania State University to accomplish my goal as well as take one step closer to my dream.
