I love meeting new people; mostly because I like to discover more about a person’s interests and cultural background. By meeting new people I have recently been interested in Korean food and music. Another reason why I want to go to college is to participate in the activities that are offered there. I started

    Until I moved to the United States in 2011, I had spent my entire life in my home country. Due to this transition, I felt an immense amount of pressure since It was hard for me to immerse in a new culture, speak a new language, and build new friendships.

So, I started looking for extracurricular activities that increased my chance of helping others, adapting to the new lifestyle, and developing new friendships that exposed me to many traditions and cultures I had been unaware of. Such opportunities have made me an open-minded person that helped me understand different perspectives that people have…

    I have chosen to apply to the University of Central Florida because it will provide great opportunities out of school and while I’m still in school. Another reason I have chosen to apply is because it is far enough away from home to where I can gain my independence and find who I am without my parents around and because it is close enough to where in the event of an emergency I can still be home fairly quickly.

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.…
