Foxconn factory; UMICH- Extracurricular/Work Experience

Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).
Surrounded by iron bars, the lifeless Foxconn factory was a scene I would never forget during the field study for my case study on Foxconn's suicide incident. In the study, I used my bilingual advantage to conduct field study and in-depth interviews with Foxconn workers. The case has been submitted to the EAM conference.

Through the study, I learned how China's economic structure caused exploitation of workers. As the president of two student organizations, I understand workers are a company's biggest asset. Hoping to run my own business in China, I changed my major to economics as acquiring a global economic perspective allows me to foresee challenges; I also wish to major in psychology as it teaches me how to motivate my future workers.

The case allows me to apply various knowledge and skills. In the future, I wish to conduct more studies on China's manufacturing sector; they will familiarize me with China's socioeconomic context and prepare me to guide my team toward success.

Thank you so much for your advices!

I don't know about this, its not very detailed and the whole idea of these essays is to get to know you on a personal level beyond your academic records. Puts some emotion and feeling into it, don't just describe what you did.

If you want to drop this altogether do so. If you have a hobby, swim, work, music, write about that instead...write about something your passionate about.

IF you are truly passionate about what you wrote you need to show it on a personal level.

I know you can do it!!!!!! don't be shy to ask for more help!
