Kelley School of Business Business has had a captivation over my intellectual interests ever since my freshmen year of high school. I chose to be independent and wanted to make my own path in my field of my interests and hence chose finance. I wish to make an impact on the business world and also be a successful entrepreneur. I have started early and taken the steps to ensure my success in the field.
I have always liked subjects like mathematics, accounting and management and this is why I chose to major in Business. This is my 2nd semester at Kelley and I started off with my intention to major in Finance. But after exploring more opportunities I plan to major in Accounting and Finance with a minor in Economics. I then plan to work in a financial institution for couple of years and prepare for GMAT simultaneously. I want to get into the best Business school for my MBA. Furthermore, I plan to work at a good position in a good institution and reach the top level management of that institution. My goal is to become a CFO of a company.
I have always been involved in a lot of intra-collegiate and inter-collegiate festivals in high school. I have performed duties of a Division Representative, Contingent Leader, etc. and represented my high school/junior college in city-level festivals. I have managed to win one of Mumbai’s (India) biggest inter-collegiate festival. I am an active member of the International Club, Indian Students Advisory Council (ISAC), Indian Students Cultural Association (ISCA) and Student Activities Programming Board (SAPB) at IUPUI. I have performed a dance and walked the ramp for ISAC's biggest festival here on campus. Additionally, I have volunteered to walk the ramp for International Club's biggest event of the year, 'International Fashion and Cultural Show'. I also plan on applying for the Advertising Officer position for International Club and Cultural Secretary position for ISAC.
I love volunteering

    The main reason Archaic Native America shifted from big game hunters to foraging and hunting smaller animals was because large mammals like mammoths could not adapt to the warmer climate, making them extinct. Archaeologist also believe that the Paleo-Indians could have contributed to the extinction because they would kill the larger animals so quickly that the animals did not have enough time to reproduce. The Paleo-Indians had to make two changes to their life because the environmental change by starting to hunt more small animals and collecting many wild plant foods like nuts, fruits, and seeds.

    As a human in America many things have become immune to my eyes. I see: cars, airplanes, brick houses, shoe stores, churches, iPods, cell phones, gps devices, every nationality, broken family’s, a place where anything goes as long as its beneficial for you as an individual, a governing state of mind; it’s all normal for my eyes. Indian culture has a totally different model compared to the American culture. Indian culture stems from family values. Unlike the American culture the Indian culture has a very strong family base. American families tend to break apart due to individual desires and goals. Indians will by pass anything that appears to have a short term or long term affect on their family. However, Americans families will individually make a decision that will separate their family forever and could careless about the impact of their decision.

    Culture

    Culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Culture is something that is learned and is passed on from generation to generation. According to Damen, L. (1987). Culture Learning: The Fifth Dimension on the Language Classroom. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley. "Culture: learned and shared human patterns or models for living; day- to-day living patterns. these patterns and models pervade all aspects of human social interaction. Culture is mankind's primary adaptive mechanism" (p. 367). Culture is a very important aspect of life. Through culture people are able to make connection with each other. People are able to acquire ways of living that helps them day-to-day to survive. From birth, culture is learned from the surrounding and environment around people. Culture shapes our values, beliefs, orientation, traditions, structures, behaviors, and thinking. In Chapter 3 on Culture, differences and similarities were discussed from every side of the world. One of the most significant differences in cultures are the languages. There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today. Interestingly, even with all those languages spoken around the world, people from different sides of the world are still able to communicate with each other, through symbols, face expressions, and body language. Through that difference, a similarity is found. That in the midst of the language barrier, when its truly needed, we all are going to have to use some body language, some face expression to get through another person. In America, nearly every region of the world has influenced the American culture, as it is a country of immigrants. Although, the American culture is a mixture of different regions, there is still a noticeable difference in Americans way in approaching success, Americans, as the sociologist Robin W. (1965) in 12 Core Values Statement, “Americans place a…
