    As a high school senior, the question I am most used to hearing is, “where do you want to go to college,” and my habitual response is the Wharton Undergraduate School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. But I think that the more apt question is “why do you want to go to college?” Personally, I want to learn. The Wharton motto of “knowledge for action” embodies this desire to learn and use this knowledge to pursue a career in something that engages and interests me. I am an aspiring investment banker and international business executive and am intrigued by mergers and acquisitions, investment banking from an international perspective, and the effect of international events on the global economy and the ensuing effect on corporations.…

    While high school was interesting and fun, I hope to experience more challenges in college. Working with new people instead of the same crowd I have been working with for over four years will be an interesting change, but I am very excited for it.

Of course, there are the normal reasons too; I hope to get a good job and be financially stable, but those reasons seem minor compared to my eagerness to learn. I hope to work with children from all walks of life, and be able to help inspire them to be as interested in learning as I was, and still am today.…
