Additionally, gaining the responsibility of managing the cash flow within Student Council at my high school was a huge accomplishment of mine. I am exceptionally proud of this achievement because
I was granted this opportunity based on my ability to budget money and my strong organizational skills. Managing Student Council’s cash flow allowed me grasp a firm understanding of how to management a small account efficiently. I learned how to cut unnecessary expenses and how to utilize funds efficiently.
Additionally, I am extremely proud that I have achieved success managing my own personal investments. I have acquired adequate knowledge about the stock market through various discussions with my uncle, who is a financial advisor himself. My uncle informed me how to analyze the stock market, and how to look for various variables that may affect the stock market. From here, for a six-month period, I researched ten companies I was interested in investing in. I followed these company’s market trends, and read news articles about each of these companies. After the six-month period, I finally invested money in five of the ten companies. Two years later, even with a rough couple of years for investments, I am proud to say that my portfolio has grown a steady 10%.
