Briefly describe the factors that have influenced your interest in studying business.
I come from a long line of physicians, scientists, and theologians. But for me, making a difference, or doing something good for our world means studying business.
Business is dynamic - constantly changing, rearranging, and stimulating the minds, passions, and creativity of the rest of the world. Innovation, technology, and exchange of information are what create progress and the evolution of society. I want to be part of this process.
After observing people around me succeed in business since I was young, I have created my own vision of success. Watching and helping my mother and her friend attempt to start an online business selling jewelry resulted in my realization of my own vision of success; a smoothly running business with me as the head of it all. With my mother's business attempt, she employed my help in getting the word out, or marketing. I enjoyed spending long hours thinking of creative ways to do this; who would be the target consumers for her product and what would be the best method of reaching and appealing to them. This was during my junior year when I was taking AP Language and learning about the appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos. I figured an appeal to pathos would work the best on my target audience of teenagers. So, I created a Facebook page for my mother's business with pictures of people wearing her jewelry, looking blissful and like they had the perfect life. I then shared it with all of my Facebook friends to spread the word. While this was a short-lived success, it taught me a lot about business and marketing and led me to believe business was the only path for me to take in life.
With my abundant social skills and excellence in mathematics along with my drive for success, I feel I can realize my dream of becoming a strong, powerful, respected businesswoman in any field of business I choose to study. I'm sure that business is the avenue that will allow me to make my mark on our world.
