PERSONAL STATEMENT

My admiration of the subject of economics comes from the way it captivates an

challenges me. The reason why it captivates me is that I’d love to learn about how
the global income and population are quantified in the long run, how the forces
that explain the leaders success are identified and about the obstacles that
hindered economic advance in lagging regions. The way money and fiscal policy
affects society in general motivates me to pursue economics. I would love to learn
about how our income and the income for the rest of the world shapes the way
we live. Economics will help me understand how different population
demographics live and the way this is controlled in the economy.

I have always had a fondness for numbers. During my time in school math was
my cup of tea, always been in the front line. And this helped me to have a great
understanding In Math which literally boosted my Mathematics skills. I also
completed some Management and Business studies which allowed me to get a
taster into how business and money help run the world. can’t forget trade and
economics which elaborated some of the daily challenge we meet and how it
affects the economy as a whole.

I have loads of hobbies, which mostly centre on sport; I love to play Basketball
and I never mind trying out a new sport at all. I find sports a great way to unwind
and have fun at the same time! Sports helped me to gain leadership,
teamworking and not giving up skills which help me to learn about the leadership
of countries and their policies. I truly believe that my people skills were enhanced
after I volunteered at one primary school summer camp in China. During this time,
I started to understand the plight of underprivileged children and how the
economy shapes this whilst I was volunteering, I needed the ability to adapt and
change quickly as working with children is very demanding. After teaching the
children about different cultures and some mathematics, it helped develop my
skills even further as we all know that teaching is the best way to learn yourself.

After careful deliberation into what course I would be suitable for; economics is
the perfect fit. I would like to carry on learning about the economy at degree level
and after extensive research, economics is the best course to achieve this. An
economics degree will also allow me to apply my literary and information-
processing skills to real world situations, I hope that this economics degree will
allow me to begin an excellent career in the whole economics sector. I believe
that I would be able to contribute socially and academically to university life by
joining clubs and societies and by achieving the best grades possible.
