Hi guys! Im applying to Drexel with the major of Business(for still-deciding students). The topic is:
All other applicants: You may write about why you are interested in your choice of major, or you may write on any subject you choose.
This is only my rough draft so any help would be appreciated :)
When I was only nine years old, my family and I took the chance of leaving our home in India to set our feet upon America, the land of opportunity. My dad took the advantages of the resources, connections, and opportunities of which America granted him and focused on the goals he had yet to achieve. But who would have known that his goals would soon become my own passion?
Couple years down the road, when my Dad successfully opened his own restaurant, I remember the first thoughts to myself, "Yes! Free food." As months had passed and the food became native, I realized how much I had simply enjoyed being there as I became the extra hand of help to my father. Spending numerous hours during my weekends, and evenings on weekdays, I saw firsthand the challenges and benefits of self-employment. For me personally, the rewards definitely overweighed the downsides. From as little as picking the colors of the walls and the shapes of the tables, to seeing the net income at the end of the day, I knew I loved every aspect of it. It gave me the feel of accomplishment in the little seed I helped plant as I watched it grow with my support and maintenance.
Although one would be confident in going into the field of management after that experience, I acknowledge the various fields Business offers and I want to be able to explore my options to find my correct fit. The restaurant gave me basic essentials for any field in Business like the importance of networking, advantages of social skills and the need of leadership, yet also teamwork. I believe that Drexel's LeBow College of Business will help my current situation by allowing me to prosper my in and out of college experience with the Co-Op it provides. As this opportunity will guide me in to my more specific study of Business, it will also give me valuable experience to stand out from among the other graduates.
The goals of my dad have led me to see the reality of dreams coming true, and gave me faith and motivation in achieving my own. With these things, (Still thinking of a good ending:()[/
Word count so far is 364/500. Thanks all. If anybody has any ideas for a good ending please let me know :)
