My Role Models: A Personal Statement

I’m always fascinated by the stories of successful entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and Elon Musk the founder of Tesla and Space X. It is not only because of they are famous but also because they found their investors who contribute to their success and have the right to take part of it. The curiosity of finance drags me into the field of commerce and investment. Finance, a comprehensive study, requires the ability of mathematics and understanding of the economic environments which are my two favorite subjects since I was in year 11. I got my first chance to access to the field of finance in 2017 through two internships: at China Everbright Bank and Nuoyuan Holdings, a subsidiary of Hanfor Holdings. Getting to

For this informational interview assignment, I interviewed Adam Kohlmeier who is the self-employed investor who currently working on entering the real estate business. When I started looking in to who I should interview for this assignment I decided to ask some friends and people around me if they knew anybody who was a businessman with a financial aspect and I got back a lot of names and one of the names that showed up a couple times was Mr. Kohlmeier. The people that mentioned him all have gone to him for financial advice or just to talk about the stock market. Reaching out to Mr. Kohlmeier not sure what to expect but he graciously excepted the interview and along the way he gave me some great information about business, investing and what are some of the things it takes to be successful when you work for yourself.

I am pleased to share with you my resume as a possibility to work at Odette’s Student Investment Fund. This position will enhance my personal and career goals by dealing with competing priorities and taking on a variety of challenges and opportunities. With this in mind, a strong network of connections goes hand in hand with a strong entity such as The Odette School of Business.

From his youth as an unconventional, yet accomplished business mind to his current success: Thane Ritchie has asserted himself as a noteworthy entrepreneur with specialties in various sectors including hedge fund management, mergers and acquisitions and trading. Growing up in Chicago during the 1970s, Ritchie didn’t always have the conventional education other students had. Instead, Ritchie received his first dose of hands-on business experience when the Chicago Board of Trade became his schooling in place of sixth and seventh grade. Led by his stepfather, Ritchie would go on to learn the intricate details of the industry that allowed him to test three levels above eighth grade upon his return to traditional schooling.

I gained a better understanding of the financial system while working at Morgan Stanley, but more importantly, I discovered that I enjoyed working with companies and thinking about the business issues they face. I started in the Equity Capital Markets Group in New York, where I helped corporate clients navigate the equity issuance process. It was a high-volume desk, and I was quickly exposed to a wide variety of companies and business models—perfect for a newly minted liberal arts graduate. However, I soon found myself wanting to work with these companies on more than just equity

I have cloudy, yet strong memories of my mentor's figure. My mentor will start by writing that she was the most important person in my life. My memories begin at the age of six, when I took their hands and together we came to my school every morning. He conveyed so much happiness that my first unfortunate class day did not seem real. All the children were sad or screaming and I only listened to the advice of the man who spoke slowly and with angelic touch. His passion to see me happy and become a great professional. Its appearance, life-form values and responsibility will be unforgettable memories.

Response: While my mentor spends most of his time at his body shop in Dallas, he works at toyota at Dallas. My uncle enjoys fixing car, it’s his high on life. Being able to spend time to help someone because they can't do it gives him a sense of happiness.Despite his great enthusiasm for fixing cars, nothing compares to having his own comfortable space where he can reflect to himself about anything and everything.

I joined the Business LLC since I thought of following my father’s footsteps in the business world. Many speakers came in and told us about the different branches of business, but still nothing really caught my attention. That is until I met James Source. Professor Source is the Head of the Construction department here at UNF. I accidently walked into his speech at open house with my parents during parent’s weekend. I spoke with him after his speech and he listed many reasons why to major in construction management. After that I was hooked.

I aim to be a role model that influences both people around me to create an optimistic community. When I was an upcoming sophomore, I was accepted to MYEEP, a job-readiness program that provides a short-term internship. On the first workshop of the program, I had to play an icebreaker to relieve tension between everyone in the room. I thought that joining this program can help me learn more about how to socialize with people because before joining MYEEP, I was shy and couldn’t talk to anyone. I tried becoming more social with others in MYEEP by starting small talk, like asking how their day was like.

serve as a positive role model for others in the work place through personal work planning . Role modelling can serve to reinforce the desired behaviour in the role model themselves, as well as encourage others to emulate their actions ,values and behaviours within the working environment.

Leadership is a significant role model for everyone who needs to lead and create the future in a very successful way. But in order to be that great leader based on my experience. I value three characteristics that I believe everyone should have to be a successful leader. And to me; communication, conviction, flexibility. To me, these traits can be seen developed through the leader way with the followers and the followers satisfaction with the leader him/herself.

My personal strengths I have, are that I have experience to assist others to help maintain tempo and timing. This is also including members who are not in my section. I can I accept challenges with pride, with goals set to achieve them with great success. I know that when new marchers come in they aren't really sure of what to do or where to go, even later on in the season, this is why I’m going to be patient with them. When it comes to demonstrating what to do when marching, I am more than willing to step up and help. Learning from my freshman and sophomore experience and the guidance shown to me by my leaders has encouraged me to step up and become a coach and lead others.

As a teenager I had a professor who taught economics with practical examples by sharing profiles of preeminent business leaders. He continually reinforced the point that most of them started early in their careers and shared a dogged focus for self-improvement. Realizing my acumen for business and finance, I decided to learn as much as I could working full-time in banking, insurance, and investments at large financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase while pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at the University of Texas at San Antonio. These roles taught me to work systematically and played a significant role in my ability to master the concepts presented in the classroom.

         Charles Barkley stands in a dimly lit gym with a basketball squeezed between his beefy hands. He is only filming a commercial. Or is he? As he looks squarely into the camera, he declares, " I am not a role model...I am paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court" (Smith 1). After he says this, a question begins to form in the minds of the viewers. Who, then Charles, should be a role model? Now, just because this is a commercial for a basketball shoe does not mean Charles Barkley does not have a reply floating around in that shiny bald head of his. He retorts, "Parents should be role models. Just because I dunk a basketball, doesn't mean I should raise your kids" (1). Whether many people care
