I, Mr.xxx aspire to create a niche for myself in the world of Finance. I am currently in my 12th Grade in DPS Ghaziabad, India and seek an opportunity to study Bachelors in Accounting and Finance at your esteemed University.

My Interests: My interests in Finance were discernible from the time I used to play games like Monopoly with my friends. I would insist on preparing the monthly budget for home expenses. Any school activities likes picnics, fairs and exhibitions I would be the person in charge of drawing up the cost estimation. Thus when the time came for me to choose a career, I believe it was a natural progression for me to choose Bachelors in Accounting and Finance.

Early Beginnings: I started reading “The Economic Times” at a very young age and started following the progress of financial institutes. To further my interests in accounting and finance field I have also taken part in various quizzes and competitions obtaining a second position in a commerce quiz and a third position in a ‘stock souk’.

My Personality Development: Due to my father’s transferable job, I have been fortunate enough to study at some of the best public schools in Delhi and Mumbai, which gave me an opportunity to learn to adapt to different environments and to make new friends. My participation in skits plays and various class discussions helped me shed stage fear and developed my oratory skills. This helped me in debates and presentations at school. Participating in these extra-curricular activities gave me an edge that led to my overall development. These boosted my confidence, gave me some insight into the great literary works, and prepared me to handle anxiety and face competition. As a part of my social responsibility, I indulged in activities like gathering support for the ‘Save Tiger’ foundation and helping underprivileged children by tutoring them in subjects like Maths and English whenever I could. I hope to contribute towards the programmes in your University by maintaining this high quality of performance and interactions.

Why UK: One of the main reasons I chose UK is that the degrees and qualifications from UK are known around the world as high quality and world class. UK allows me to pursue vocational courses along with my main course. With the multi-cultural diversity that an UK campus represents, students like me would benefit in terms of learning new cultures and traditions. No wonder International students have always been an important presence in the UK, and the numbers are growing steadily.

My Goals: I want to pursue this course to reach my goals. My main aim in the near future would be to have a complete and in depth knowledge of wealth creation and wealth multiplication. I plan to enhance my knowledge about the various organizational cogs and learn how they influence each other. I would like to contribute my might in the area of wealth creation by a financial powerhouse and develop such skills as may be required for decision making in a senior managerial capacity. I end my statement by looking forward to a positive response from you, which will help me reach my goals.
