Undergraduate / 'Just as an artist' - my vision is to bring a new style of business to NYU and then the world [6]

NYU is global, urban, inspired, smart, connected, and bold. What can NYU offer you, and what can you offer NYU? (200-400 words)

Just as an artist incorporates their own personal style when covering a song, my vision is to bring a new style of business to NYU and then the world. Business is often correlated with unethical practices, such as when Toyota forwent safety concerns to save money. My goal is to break the connection between the two and use business as an ethical platform to help people of all backgrounds.

My parents raised me and instilled in me the same values they gained from growing up in the Philippines. They held God as the top priority. Life was tough in the Philippines, their religion gave them hope. So long as you were faithful and help others, good things would happen. I believe this fervently and express this belief by participating in several religious and community service clubs, such as the Bridges team, where along with other students, I help make food, collect essentials, and distribute them in Manhattan and Newark. At NYU I hope to join one or more of the many faith groups such as World Faith to keep faith as an active part of my life. Faith and service are integral to my life, and it is why I want to disconnect business from corruption.

Stern is known for its challenging, top quality cirriculum. Many classes involve society and people, such as Business and Its Publics. They will allow me to increase my understanding of the world, and hone my style of business to better help them. Coming out of Stern, armed with the best possible comprehension of business, I have no doubt I can confidently step out into the world, and step up above the rest.

NYU is located in the heart of one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the world. But living in Manhattan, I will meet people with opinions, lifestyles, and perspectives I may not have encountered before. Differences in culture can only help me in better understanding the world so that I may help it through business. I also bring my own culture to the melting pot, and as I learn from others, I hope others can take something from my background of religion and hard work.

Overall, NYU gives me the tremendous resources of Stern and Manhattan, and in combination with my work ethic and moral character, I only see my goal being completed, which is the ultimate offer I want to give.
