“Dear Hannah, Congratulations! You have been admitted to Arizona State University for the fall 2016 semester.” This was the beginning of the letter that I received in the mail this past fall; though it was simply a letter, it was the beginning of a new chapter in my life! To be a sun devil means to strive for excellence, to give your all, to put your heart into your work, to never give up, to excel in all you set out to do. I am extremely pleased to now officially be a student of Arizona State University! When I first got the letter that I mentioned above informing me that I had been accepted to ASU, my heart filled with pride and anticipation as I realized how it felt to be a Sun Devil!
Seeking a higher education, striving to better

In ASU, my chosen major is Business Management through the William P. Carey School of Business. I chose this major because of my love for communication, leadership, and studies involving money. I really enjoy working with my dad who owns his own business and I take pleasure in understanding all the different processes within the business. Also, ever since I was a little girl, I have enjoyed learning about the economy and money in general. Another reason I chose business management was that it requires leadership, which has always been one of my strong points. I have experience leading and people have told me I am good at it though I know there is always plenty of room for improvement. I do know how to follow, but I am a leader at heart. I truly enjoy managing various projects and seeing them come together successfully. Because I think it is important as a student seeking a degree in Business Management to feel comfortable in leadership positions not only in the workplace, but also in other areas of life, one of the things I am most proud of is the fact that leadership is one of my strengths.
Not only am I a leader, but in many ways, I am also an extrovert. Being with people is something I truly enjoy and look forward to. I believe that the people close to me know the “real” me because I tend to be a very open person. I am the type of person who loves to laugh and spend time with my friends and family, but I am not afraid to work hard when the time comes.
I am applying to Arizona State University for admission to the Master of Science Program in Industrial Engineering. I am interested in learning subjects like Statistics, Operational research, Computer aided manufacturing, six-sigma, Product development, Project management, Supply chain management, Quality control and Information systems engineering.
I have many different qualities that attribute to my character. Some including, I am a naturally positive person, I am non-judgmental, and I try my best to be focused and efficient. I also like to make people laugh, but I know when to be serious. Part of being a good leader is knowing how to work as a team. Many of the activities I participate in have shown me how to do so. I believe in working as a team to come up with solutions, plans, and ideas.
Learning how to be a leader in all types of situations has been one of the most important skills which I have acquired. The most important growth in my leadership skills was through 4-H where I served as President, 1st Vice President, and various other positions. I learned valuable public speaking skills from a lawyer who was teaching a public speaking class and was able to apply this in the various duties I undertook as leader of my club. Now I step into leadership roles with confidence, trusting my ability to work with and lead everyone in the group. When I join the scholars at the Hankamer School of Business, I will be able to fulfill any leadership positions necessary with confidence, whether it be in a small group or large group
I think that if you were to ask my close friends or family, they would say that I am a natural leader and hardworking. As the captain of my lacrosse team, I am a leader on the field. In this position even though I strive to be the best I can, I find it more rewarding to watch my team succeed and improve above myself. I’m very passionate about motivating my team mates to be better and not just bossing them around. You can also find me as a leader of the Student Council at my school. Here I have been in charge of and organized countless events like the CB East’s annual Homecoming. This example also goes to show how hard working I am. I take these school events very seriously and I want every student to have a great time; I stay after school for
I am interested in pursuing a degree in business because there are a variety of job opportunities within the field. My parents also owned their own business, which was the main reason I wanted to pursue a business degree. I was inspired by their work ethics, and how they overcame their struggles and obtained success within their business and recognition in society. Originally, my major was in management. However, I have recently become more interested in an ISOM major after attending an Ask the Professionals event. This is because ISOM combines both business skills and IT skills to give you a unique skill set that is highly sought after in the current job market. My ideal job upon graduation would be working in a company like Freddie Mac where I can utilize my knowledge and work within a team setting.
I chose to take the road less traveled and major in Business Finance. I chose my major for two huge reasons: marketability and more opportunities. I strive to show that there is a big difference between my peers and I. By having a Business Finance degree, I have a background of knowledge of a realm that crosses into the “legal world,” that my colleague may not have, which makes me a more marketable asset to businesses and other organizations. I also feel as if my major does not limit me to one type of profession, while not being too broad. A Business Finance degree would help jump start my career I choose to become a corporate lawyer, and if I choose not to become a lawyer, I would still have an immense amount of options for careers. These are the reasons why I chose to major in Business
School projects that I am involved in with groups, are almost always led by me. I like being in control and knowing the project will get a good grade. When my peers come to me for help, I always think before I give advice. I am always trusted because I am never biased and solving disputes come easy to me.
University of Arizona is one of the greatest school not only in the state of Arizona but also in the whole US nation. There were so many magnificent people who graduated from this amazing University, and because of the magic of this college, some of them choose to live in this beautiful city after they graduated. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be a wild cat and interview one of the senior wildcat: Anna Marie Mesa who attended the UA in the fall semester of 1964.
Imagine Time Square in New York City on the busiest day of the year or the Great Barrier Reef with hundreds of fish swimming around you. Those two remarkable places resemble that of the Memorial Union (MU) at Arizona State University (ASU). Not everyone loves crowded, cramped, and/or cluttered places. In fact, some people want a space that is calm, inviting, and their own. For the students that attend Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University it is just that, a secluded welcoming part of ASU. Not only is Barrett a portion of ASU that seems distant from other dorms, it has its very own unique feel. You can walk into Palo Verde East or West, Manzanita, or even the University Tower and not have the open space that surrounds the
Throughout high school I Have realized two things about myself when it comes to being a part of a group. For starters, I have discovered I naturaly fill leadership roles when given the oportunity.
Leader ship is an attribute I believe I already possess. I believe I would make a great leader because, I am determined to always do my best. Throughout my academic career I have had many instances where I had to step up and take charge as leader. The reason I feel I would make a suitable leader is, the fact that I am ready and willing to do the job. No matter what place in office I go for, I am ready to do all the work needed to keep each and every meeting of the National Junior Honor Society as organized as possible. I also have been told I am very trust worthy and considerate person by many people in my life, those are two attributes that I personally believe all leaders should have. I also feel like I would make a good leader because
Business has always interested me. I was always looking for a way to make an extra dollar. Whether it was buying items at low prices from the thrift shop and then selling them high or even creating a lemonade stand when I was younger with some of my friends. That is why I feel that the Stern School of business is the right area of study for me. In addition to the Stern school of business being a great fit for me, I also love the community that NYU has to offer. NYU has a rich history of great sports team and a tight knit community. I look forward to joining a community that thrives in the classroom and out on the sports fields, or in my personal favorite, hockey. I look forward to Friday night games with my friends cheering on my classmates.
Of all the aspects of my personality, the most distinguishing is my work ethic. This is best exemplified in the ways that I have risen to the top within the groups I have worked with and the projects I have worked on. The most recent example: I am currently working with a student committee at my high school to organize a “Career Day”. Although I came into the group on their second meeting, I am now the de facto leader as I have accepted the most responsibility and been key in communicating with administration to plan and schedule the event. When nobody will take on an assignment or when I feel an assignment is not being completed well enough, I step in, and that is what happened with my involvement on this project. For another example, I went
Business Administration The idea of studying business administration has appealed to me greatly and has encouraged me to further develop my education following this path. I have a keen enthusiasm to pursue a degree in Business Administration as I enjoy the challenges it sets and find the many different areas of business you are able to branch out into, very exciting! From research about the subject I'm expecting to greatly further my learning of how businesses operate and be able to then put my knowledge into practice. I am confident within myself and find communication with others easy.
Business and Management is a course I believe that I have the qualities and skills to create a successful career in this area. Ever since I can remember, I recall always wanting to organise everyone and give them certain tasks to do. In fact, even when I was just playing with my friends. I remember how I used to organise all the plays and concerts that we did. I have been inspired by my own Father a director of a successful business organization which has been managed by him over years and also supporting him is a team of well qualified marketers who really know how to move the margins of the companies supply and demand of goods worldwide. This is a field which we encounter in our everyday life which involves with the buying, selling,
