Personal Statement : Management Degree At Lse, Ucl, King 's And 2 More

Life is full of little meaningful events and experiences, they go so unnoticed that we don't realize they can change our lives forever. Sometimes those little moments can mean so much more than what they seem. One way an experience can develop into something meaningful is when you can express it in a way to help others. This experience for me was when I won SGA Vice President. Being Vice President today is a challenge and a blessing. As SGA Vice-president I am responsible for the activities of the entire school. When I accepted the position of Vice President my abilities were tested to the fullest, this leadership role forced more responsibilities such as public speaking, calling meetings, and developing strategies under difficult circumstances. For instance,

“The most rewarding part of being in student council is we get to help our school and do great things for our students,”Student Council member sophomore Madison Inman

As a co chair I had to motivate and guide my committee to finish the project on time and efficiently, and it turned out to be a success. Being the co chair in first quarter was challenging for having to figure out how to grade people and telling people what to do. As I got the hang of being a co chair my committee members began to trust me more and came to me to ask questions and advice during harsh times. By being a co chair it improved my skill of leadership and communication. Not only did I do this heart activity, but I worked an event to raise new student’s ability to approach other students and communicate better, ice-cream get-together. During this event I handed out ice-cream to new students to the district. I also sat down and got to know them by talking to them and trying to make them feel comfortable. The point of this event was to make the students meet new people and just have a conversation. During dance committee I worked on the Under the Sea dance. In order to plan and make the dance communication was important because we had to get laser tag and make decorations. In publicity I created posters for the events happening

Besides, I was also one of the high committee of several clubs in my previous schools such as the hockey club and also counselling club. I was able to cooperate well with other member so that the organisations will run smoothly and I too learnt how to organise and coordinate events successfully. Despite of those responsibilities, I managed to balance both my academic and curricular activities and maintained my ranking in the top ten of the whole batch for. Besides that, I managed to get second place in a national

An experience that has made a profound impact on my life was when I directed and completed a community service project to fulfill a requirement for the Eagle Scout Award in the Boy Scouts of America. In order to competently act as coordinator for this service project, I had to develop both my interpersonal communication and leadership capabilities to a proficient level. Besides improving my professional skills, this project gave me the opportunity gain hands on experience working with groups of people who had varying skill levels. So, not only did these skills allow me to complete the project successfully, they have also proven incredibly useful throughout my academic career.

I have had multiple experiences in the past few years of my life that have greatly impacted me and changed the way that I go about life. During my Junior year, I learned that I had been granted the opportunity to attend the California Boys State program. This program took place during the summer after my junior year, and it was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. I met hundreds of new people from all across the state. During the program, I made many great friends, and I still talk to a group of around fifteen people from the program. While talking to other people from what seemed so far away, it really opened my eyes to the scale of the entire country, or the world. For once, I truly realized that everybody has their own problems and their own life. Every person that I talked to had a different story and it was very stunning.

An experience that has provided me with the most growth as a person is my involvement in mentoring an at-risk teen in Athens, GA for 3 years. Mentoring has improved my leadership and interpersonal skills. It kept me accountable to living at a higher standard in order to be a positive role model for another person. I also developed a greater appreciation for diversity from spending time with a person from a culture much different from my own. Overall this experience instilled a passion for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, social status, gender, or age. A genuine interest for others motivates me to learn more about human behaviors and pursue a career in counseling. Another experience I have that has provided me with opportunities to grow and improve is my experience as an intern at Jay’s Hope Foundation. The Jay’s Hope Foundation offers many different avenues of support to children diagnosed with cancer and their families. I was able to be in direct contact with families facing life-threatening situations. It was a very emotionally heavy internship, but I learned so much and was encouraged by the resiliency of the children and families. At Jay’s Hope, I learned the importance of teamwork, I developed flexibility, I became more organized, and I gained more confidence in my ability to

An experience that has influenced my life was my sophomore year in high school in which I had made the Trojanette Drill Team. As a first time dancer and the lack of confidence I had at the time I didn't think I was going to open up to a cluster of girls I didn't know. Walking into the drill team room I was an introverted person who didn't believe I was worth being on the team, but walking out of the drill team room I was confident, responsible, hardworking and eager to continue the next year of dance.

The one that has stood out throughout my 3+ years here would be socially merciful, which I experienced at the Mercyhurst Day of Service during my freshman year. I, along with around 20 other freshmen went to the YMCA of Greater Erie where we essentially had recess with some children. I can still vividly remember that day; it was a fairly cool August day and we were inside a warm gymnasium where 3-4 teachers led their classes into the gym. Almost instantly, the children started running and screaming towards us overjoyed that they had different people to hang around with and play with. I remember looking over at the teachers who, although just for a short while, were able to sit back and relax and let out a sigh of relief because someone was there to help

Student council not only taught me how to smile a lot more, but it taught me the importance of volunteer work, and making others smile more! Volunteering has showed me that I want to work in a field where I communicate with people on a personal level. Another thing I've learned via student council, is how to stand up for what I believe. As a student council representative, I was given the opportunity to decide on what I, along with my peers, thought would be right for the school. Being able to stand up for what I believe is right has made me realize that I am growing as a person and becoming more open minded about the world I live

“Management is active, not theoretical. It is about changing behaviour and making things happen. It is about developing people, working with them, effort to achieve objective and goals.”(L.Mullins, 2010. P, 425)

Over the past hundred years management has continuously been evolving. There have been a wide range of approaches in how to deal with management or better yet how to improve management functions in our ever changing environment. From as early as 1100 B.C managers have been struggling with the same issues and problems that manager's face today. Modern managers use many of the practices, principles, and techniques developed from earlier concepts and experiences.

In today’s ever changing economy, society’s idea of management is becoming increasingly more difficult to sustain with the continuous demands of the position. A successful manager must have a certain level of expertise and problem solving techniques to carry out the daily tasks required. Over the years, there have been various ideas on what management is, such as planning, organizing, leading and controlling.

Management is one of the most important human activities and has critical impact on life, growth, development or destruction of an organisation. In an organisation, managers with any rank or status should understand their basic duties i.e. maintaining a sustainable conductive environment where people can fulfil their commitments and objectives through collaborative approach. (Akhtar, 2011) A manager is responsible to achieve the business’s goals, visions and objectives by planning, organising, leading and controlling. Dubrin (1994) stated that in every organisation each member of staff must plan, organise, make decisions, and control the resources they need to accomplish the results expected
