MBA Scholarship Short Personal Statement [12]
Please, I need your advice about my three short personal statements for MBA Scholarsip. Maybe you can help with the first.
How do you believe you will bring diversity to the MBA Program? (Max 250 words)If I had not studied Engineering, I would have been a soccer player. My skills, despite my age, continue present on my feet. So, I am ready to play a soccer game with my partners in Australia.
Other is my ability to cook Peruvian cuisine though my wife cooks it better. It is going to be a good chance to organize meetings with other students and their families where "Salsa" (Latin-American) or "Negroide" (Peruvian) music would be listened. I could tell, maybe in Spanish, about culture of Peru like Macchupicchu and other wonderful places to visit.
I am member of the Lion's Club International Association; therefore my family and I will continue doing social labor in favor of the Australian Community. For example we could be part of the global program "SightFirst" to fight against blindness.
About my entrepreneurship spirit, I will share my experience of creating the first non-profit organization focused on business analysis in Peru, designed to help Peruvian companies and professionals generate value-added projects.
My professional experience in information technology and mining sector could add a different perspective in classes. Moreover, I have worked in a competitive and under-pressured work environment that makes me a person oriented to get high goals and with excellent skills of teamwork.
Finally, my life experiences have prepared me to confront and solve difficult problems. I need to mention the labour complications and the expensive surgery that was required to save my daughter's life and potentially that of my wife. Stress and financial strain appeared. After my family was on safe, I decided to continue with the MBA plan. I am surer of doing the MBA. I want to transmit this self-confidence and life positive attitude to my future AGSM partners.
