I hope that this personal statement supports my application to major in economics under Bachelor of Arts. Despite the university also offering business school, I prefer economics as it does look into how resources can be used to maximize human wants while business studies focus on the management of a firm. It is this broader outlook and impact that economics has on the social and global welfare that intrigues me.
I have always had a personal interest in economics ever since I joined the elementary school. I was fortunate to have supportive parents who both majored in economics. My drive towards it got eminent during the financial crisis in 2007. I did get to witness the effects of it directly as my parents’ business in China was negatively affected. Its uncertainty made me be on the trend with economic p
olicies and news till to date as I closely monitor their impacts.
In my first and second-year summer intern, I was at Congress and HSBC in Hong Kong respectively. In my last intern, I was posted in the financial trade department that I found fascinating as we would predict and manage risks while facilitating global trade. I did get to enhance my fundamental and technical skills along communication skills during those periods.
Due to personal circumstances, I had a difficult semester during this quarter which led to my poor grades. At the time, I was going through an emotional breakdown as my mother was ill. Visiting her on the weekends also did put more strain on me mainly as a result of jetlag. Since then, I have made sustainable improvements in my grades in the subsequent examinations.
I believe this
university will provide me with the ideal environment to grow and develop my understanding and analysis of the global economy. It will also enable me to attain my goals: pursue my M.B.A, start my own business and work for the government as an economic policy adviser.
