Ever since my second year of university, I knew that I wanted to have a career in finance.

After participating twice at the Rotman International Trading Competition in Toronto, I competed against some of the best schools in the world and developed an urge to learn the utmost possible about the finance world and to be the best. My first finance experience includes co-founding an investment club on campus that gained notable attention and that gathered multiple universities every year to organize Atlantic Canada 's largest stock simulation. In addition, I represented my school in a few other competitions and did quite well. Unfortunately, my Bachelor 's degree only went so far into detail, so even though I would spend countless hours talking to the director of the accounting/finance department, I knew that I had to pursue further studies in order to gain the necessary knowledge to achieve my goals. …show more content…

I became an enthusiast of finance ever since I was at high school. At the political economy class, my teacher asked us: if you have a million RMB, how would you use it? She then introduced us the concept of investment, and I was intrigued specifically by the stock. For the latter two years of my high school, I have been reading books and articles regarding the stock market in the U.S. and in China.

Never have I ever climbed a mountain peak. As a child, I imagined myself conducting expeditions in deep-frozen pathways, leading amateur explorers to the top of the world, and instructing rookies in surviving harsh blizzards. Even though slightly altered, my childhood dream has been achieved. I led a team of fellow classmates, in my Strategic Management course, to the success summit of a financial competition. Over the course of a semester, I and my teammates were supposed to create and manage a company of the IT industry, in a computer-simulated environment, along with other four rival teams. I dealt with strategy and financial matters of our virtual enterprise, while my colleagues were working on marketing and manufacturing. During the four months of the exercise, I have experienced finance from various aspects: capital budgeting, through selecting favorable investment for upcoming quarters; debt management, by assessing the necessary amount and efficiency of loans; profitability analysis and dividend policy, which had been used to compile the company’s general performance index. Working in a multinational team, which included an American, a Norwegian and a Moldovan, strengthen my negotiations skills, as well as flexibility and cooperation. But above all, this experience intensified my passion for finance. Of course, a pleasant bonus was the fact that, in the end, our company’s financial performance was six times the performance of second-best team.
