One of the most important decisions I have made is transferring my major to International Economics and Trade in my sophomore year. From then on, I find my potential to be a quick learner. In my new field study, I had to adapt to the brand-new subject in a short time. Although my foundation was weaker than my classmates, I studied more profession courses than them, about 25 hours per week. Besides, I paid more attention to business practice and spent an extra 18 hours on extra-curricular activities every week. It was under this circumstance that I completed all the required courses within two years, which took my classmates three years; the final GPA was 3.2, which ranked top 22% in the class, and my annual GPA kept increasing to 3.7 in my …show more content…
Second, I also learnt how to bring forward innovation and put it into practice. Through inviting experts to teach farmers breed bees, we helped beekeepers adopt the new technique to achieve mass production, successfully developing a new product- honey comb that could make a higher profit. Last, this experience also taught me how to utilize core competence. As students who were for public benefit, we easily won more support from the society, which facilitated many business cooperation chances for farmers. Fortunately, based on the model and outcome of project, our team won runner-up out of 200 prestigious universities in the Enactus National Competition in 2015. At that time, I was sure that entrepreneurship was all about catching the opportunity, taking action and pursuing success. What further honed my entrepreneurship was my following entrepreneurial experience. After evaluating the honey comb, I found a market opportunity: there were more targeted customers and fewer competitors; besides, the profit margin of honey comb is 30% higher than that of honey. Consequently, I co-founded a honey product brand, Chasing Man, with three other partners. We improved the product by giving up plastic that was widely used as the pack of honey comb, and by pouring 60% of the money into bamboo-made pack that had
However, junior year of high school changed that: I was given the opportunity to take either AP Psychology, or AP European History. I felt that the obvious choice would be to take AP European History, since I’m European and therefore already had a solid foundation for succeeding in the class, but something inside me told me to take a blind leap of faith and choose AP Psychology instead. This choice proved to be one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life. Through this class, I emerged myself into the world of psychology and fell in love with it. I didn’t complete the assignments to get a good grade. I completed them because I cherished every minute of it, and I started applying the materials learned in class to real life
Throughout high school, I have challenged myself both in the classroom and out in my community. By taking the honors classes, while participating in as many extracurricular activities as I can, I have learned the importance of balance and commitment. My school offered many dual-enrollment courses with conjunction to the local community college as well as Seton Hall University. These classes prepared me for the rigorous workload of college classes, while giving me the opportunity to earn college credits as a high school student. In addition to the dual-enrollment program, I have taken several AP classes that too transfer to college credits. I always challenged myself to take the upper-level courses because I want to be as prepared as I possibly
Slowly he became market leader for that product. Entrepreneurship has been defined by several researchers as the progression of making a product or service valuable by gathering a distinctive set of resources and opportunities. This procedure comprises the set of accomplishments to recognise opportunities, business classification, evaluation and obtaining the essential resources, management and getting positive results. Furthermore, entrepreneurship has been seen as an organizational coordination that underlines the three extents: innovation, taking calculated risks and proactive orientation. There are many indications to provision the idea that the businesses which were engaged in entrepreneurial practices have been most effective and successful (Hills, Hultman & Miles, 2008).
I have always been interested in “doing my own thing” or, better known as, entrepreneurship. In high school, I would buy T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats in bulk. I’d embroider little emblems on them and mark up the price by 100%. People at school would buy $1 shirts and pay $9 for my craftsmanship. However, I wanted bigger and better things. I channeled Andrew Carnegie in my approach to business: why just stop at my little venture when I could vertically integrate and market for myself? I decided to invest all my money in a new cause and thus, my own social media marketing company was born. The skills I’ve learned in starting my company is something that cannot be taught. I would relish the opportunity to grow and learn at an institution like The Stephen M. Ross School of Business that understands the importance of innovation and exploration.
Throughout my education I excelled in every subject, until I entered high school. I began to take more rigorous courses and my grades began to drop. The coursework was a dozen times harder than any other courses I’ve ever taken and I struggled greatly. Instead of taking one AP course my junior year, I took three: English Literature, Physics 1, and Psychology.
Getting to this point in my academic career has been a balancing act. I spent most of my time as a part time student earning my Associates while working full time. Getting the most out of my education was always my primary goal and it meant working hard and managing my time well. I graduated with Faculty Honors and am currently progressing towards graduating Cum Laude at Western. I was able to not only take a heavy course load, but manage it well and remained flexible and grounded in the reality of what I could handle. Determined to expand my knowledge I wanted to not only to take a variety of courses during early undergraduate work, but as I
It is something I have always had a passion for. Whether I excelled in a subject or not, I knew from early on that the world greatly benefits from any form of learning. My influence for transferring is mostly academically based. I have made good friends here and I plan on continuing with those relationships when I transfer. However, as my transcripts will exemplify my grades only go up. After struggling with obtaining good grades in the beginning of high school, I eventually took more classes on the subjects I was interested in and my grades improved dramatically. From American Sign Language to Forensic Science, if I was intrigued by the learning capabilities, then I surpassed my past experiences with grades. In college, my transcripts illustrate that I am doing very well and that I have proved the admissions team right. The reason being, my major and everything that I am learning, captivates me. Merely doing well isn’t the best option for me anymore. I am convinced that transferring colleges will give me the challenges I need to succeed both academically and

Which is cost difference determines the patterns of international trade. Absolute advantage is trade benefits when each country is at least cost producer of one of the goods being traded. In the 1800s, David Ricardo developed the theory of comparative advantage to measure gains from trades. This theory is based on comparative advantage and it states each nation should specialize in production of those goods for which its relatively more efficient with a lower opportunity cost.
By Patricia M. Flynn and Michael A. Quinn* Abstract It is often suggested that Economics is a good major for individuals interested in becoming business leaders. Despite this widespread assertion, little research has been conducted on this topic. Using the Standard and Poor (S&P) 500 companies, this paper examines the validity of such a claim. We find evidence that Economics is a good choice of major for those aspiring to become a CEO. Economics ranked third with 9% of the CEOs of the S&P 500 companies in 2004 being undergraduate Economics majors, behind Business Administration and Engineering majors, each of which accounted for 20% of the CEOs. When adjusting for size of the pool of
During my first semester as a business student, I have developed many skills and discovered new abilities within me. However, the most effective things that I knew me are three skills. First of all, I have learned that I have the capability to deal with stressful circumstances such as having projects, homework, assignment, and tests in the same day, and I have learned how to devote my time equally in order to be successful in my academics. Basically, I have developed my time management skills, which is going to help me in my future semester at ASU. Second of all, I discovered that I am doing extremely well here at ASU due to that fact that I found all of the courses that
The economy is composed of enterprises and businesses. Our economy has survived because the industry leaders had been able to adapt to the changing times and supplied mostly the communities’ needs. Entrepreneurship produces financial gain and keeps the economy afloat, which gives rise to the importance of innovation in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are innovators of the economy. The importance of innovation in entrepreneurship is another key value for the longevity of a business. And, being innovative has helped us become successful in all our endeavors.This leads me to choose my higher education in “Master of Business Administration

Business Studies is an important course that prepares students to face the real practice of commerce. Engaging theory and practice is instrumental in ensuring that students learn the underlying factors that determine the practice of every business practice. Carroll and Buchholtz (2011) suggest that business forms the backbone of the current economic activities as every activity of human life must involve some loss and gain together. Additionally, he notes that entrepreneurship is taking deep roots in the society, a condition which mandates everybody to possess some knowledge in business. Drawing reference from the aforementioned statements, it is important for the society to have individuals who possess not only
