My Passion For Business Studies
Currently I am a student studying in the last year of International Baccalaureate Diploma Program in Navrachana International School Vadodara, Gujarat, India. I am studying Economics, Business and Management and English at a Higher Level and Mathematics, Chemistry and French at a Standard Level. Having studied business studies for my IGCSE I realized this was a subject I would want to study at a higher level in year 11. My passion for this subject, since then, has expanded and engendered the ability of problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Because my interest lies in the field of business and economics, these subject choices give me a better insight of business and management and economics and how they are connected. I believe these two subjects along with mathematics play a major role in the study of accounts and finance. Likewise, sections like microeconomics and macroeconomics have helped me develop my skills to think logically while International economics and Development economics gives me a brief understanding about the future economy with various assumptions which fascinates me the most. Studying French at a standard level has helps me gain more confidence and improved my communication skills.
My extended essay in economics was based on my greater understanding of the various market structures which exist in the hotel industry of the city I live in. This required extensive primary research which gave me an opportunity to interview many sales executives, financiers, and the human resource managers of the well known hotels. This also allowed me to gain more understanding of the business environment and the kind of intellect which is required to operate various controlling factors in todays business world. I think one of my strengths is my ability to collaborate with my teammates.
Looking at how these hotel firms worked I wish to enhance my collaborative skills at an extraordinary level with various opportunities at the university. Over these few years I have developed skills which enables me to be more responsible and confident. Like the Theory of Knowledge presentation, as it is a philosophical subject it has improved my research skills as well. Because IB is one of the demanding programs I have learnt the skill of managing and distributing my time evenly to the submissions and self-study.
Apart from studies Basketball is one of my key sport. Being a part of my schools Basketball team-under 19 I hope to continue the practice and passion for it even through university. As a team we have represented our school at the state level. Having been an active member of my house by participating in swimming competitions and triathlons for the last 4 years.
To my mind it is of key importance to improve my physical strength and capabilities. I believe handling finance has its own risks. By undergoing the course of Accounting and Finance I desire to sharpen my cognitive skills of critical thinking and learn how to measure these uncertainties and risks of a decision and negotiate a preferable outcome. I am a go getter and leave no stone unturned to achieve what I want. I look forward to a new leap in my career in finance. I would regard my admission to your esteemed university not only as the high point of my life but also as the spur for me to work harder and carve a niche for myself.
