Why I Want To Pursue A Business Degree

Our whole society depends on the development of businesses and management of these establishments. Growing up in a family of business developers and managers, I have been widely exposed to affairs concerning entrepreneurship and the skills needed in order to run an enterprise from a young age. So whilst everyone I knew dreamt of being a fashion designer or a doctor, I aspired to be a successful businesswoman who either worked at or owned a prosperous company. The idea of running a business has thrilled me for a very long time as I have seen so many people start with very little, and work their way up to the top. When I was younger, I wanted to be like them. And now, although I know more about the hardships that have to be faced, my aspirations have not changed. This is what I want to be.

When choosing my A level subjects I took into consideration which would be of use and relevant to my wish of following a business based degree.

Through studying Spanish at GCSE and A-Level I have learnt how to communicate in a different language which I believe will be very useful in the future as more and more people nowadays speak more than one language. As for business, being bilingual will always be an advantage as in case of a deal with a Spanish company or Spanish speaking people, I will be able to converse with them and do business. Maths has helped me improve my figures manipulation and graph comprehension as well as taught me problem analysis and how to interpret information. Studying Philosophy has helped me improve my essay writing skills and develop a better time management, as well as opened my mind up and taught me how to look at one particular thing from two different points of view. Due to its relevance to the current affairs of the business world, Economics has introduced me to all the key details and basic information you need in order to study business and further improved my essay writing skills and the use of specific

data.

Outside of lessons I have also tried to involve myself in as many activities as I could. Some of these would be acting in LAMDA, which has helped me build up my confidence and speak in front of people. Last year I also attended the MUN conference as I like listening to the debates and hearing about current affairs that are happening not only in the UK but around the world as well. I was also a part of the RAF for 2 years, where I learnt about teamwork as well as leadership. Working in charity shops, I have learnt more about communicating with people I did not know and also about having various responsibilities and dependability, significant skills that have been further enriched by my position as a House Prefect in my school.

I have also taken up piano, which has allowed me to reinforce my performance skills and dedication, two attributes that are very useful in the business world I want to be involved in. I am very excited to extend my knowledge of Business and Management through this course, which will further help me achieve future success in the business world. I am eager to explore a new environment and engross myself in the studying of business.
