STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Bryant McGill had said, ‘Ambition is not what a man would do, but what a man does, for ambition without action is fantasy.’ My ambition is to include the name of my family business in the top 100 Financial Companies of the world. I have always dreamt to see my name amongst internationally acclaimed JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch & in India companies like Religare & India Infoline ltd. To reach there, I will have to act and that’s why I happen to apply to your esteemed University for my Masters.

Actually, I did masters in finance and international business. And have a corporate experience more than two years. I am certified form national stock exchange of India and derivatives currency trader.

Like every other student when I was 15 years old, I had to make a career decision for myself. At that point of time, I chose to enter the field of Finance and make a mark for myself. It was quiet obvious that I would want to get into this field. My father like stock market business, I grew up observing the elders in my family discuss Debts, Equities, Premiums, Principal amounts, the turnover figures of the various clients and so on. These discussions ultimately led me to gain interest in the field of finance. I gradually came to appreciate the importance of finance in the modern world. I quickly wanted to grow up and join them however that never happened. I had to complete my Bachelors, intern under various reputed financial companies and work my hard way up to where I am now. I was exposed to the real corporate world and the finance industry’s working for the first time. During my Bachelor’s, part time job Economics and Finance impressed upon me the importance of the financial sector in the economy. The practical experience during my job gave me a new confidence to go ahead and learn more, as I thoroughly enjoyed working for this industry. What I most enjoyed was facing a challenging situation like planning a basket of customized financial

    It is so easy in our society to sate our hunger; a trip to the grocery store, a quick stop at the convenience store or local fast food outlet. How often do we as Americans consider where our food comes from? Yes, we see the commercials of the beautiful rolling farm hills, the “happy cows”, and the portrait of the commercialized nostalgic Norman Rockwell imagery giving each consumer the warm fuzzy feeling inside that our food comes from farms and not huge industrial complexes. In The Omnivore’s Dilemma section one “The Plant: Corns Conquest” Pollan provides a base for the purpose of his noted dilemma by providing history, data and background information in three chapters titled “The Plant”, “The Farmer”, and finally “The Elevator”; providing a detailed argument that today’s food production is very un-natural in what was once a very natural process.…

    The Dying Lioness

    • 438 Words

    The Dying Lioness a small detail of one of the many Assyrian relief carvings that were found during the Assyrian rule. The Relief itself was titled Ashurbanipal hunting Lions and belonged to the North Palace of Ashurbanipal. It was created in 645 to 640 BCE and like many reliefs; it pictured a hunt taking place. It was average sized at about five and a half feet tall and carved out of Gypsum rock giving itself a red hue. This falls into place with the description of most reliefs from this time. But what made this Assyrian relief stand out? It was a small detail, a lioness to be exact. The hunt depicted did not take place in the wild but in a controlled environment, ensuring the king would be victorious. The king is in his chariot with his attendants. He is throwing a spear into a lion, which already has several fatal wounds on its body. All around the royal chariot is a pathetic trail of dead and dying animals pierced by far more arrows than needed to kill them. All around the chariot are the bodies of dead lions littering the ground, most overkilled with far more arrows and spears necessary to kill the beasts. The artist does a fantastic job of showing the rippling muscles and facial wrinkles in all of the lions. But there is one lioness that is different from the other lions. She is pictured holding herself up with her front two legs while dragging the back two on the ground. Her muscles are tense and her face is full of emotion. Even though the multiple wounds she has sustained will inevitably be the death of her she still holds herself up to let out one last roar. Her roar is a roar that suggests defiance against the cruel game that is being played against her and her fallen feline comrades. The artist was obviously not re-creating exactly what happened during this “hunt”, suggesting that he would have had to feel sorrow or sadness for these animals to depict them this way. Otherwise the…

    Being a freshman in High School, I did a lot of worrying about my future. I wondered what I could do that will make me happy, that I’d be good at, and that would make me financially stable.

    John Maynard Keynes, an English economist born in 1883, once said, “Ideas shape the course of history.” Most of Keynes’ ideas influenced political economic policies all over the world, but his statement rings true for all fields of work. Architecture, serial killing, and examining the subconscious are all unique examples of spheres in which ideas are the foundation. Without initial inspiration, none of these endeavors, all of which shaped the course of history, would have been attempted. For better or worse, these ideas changed the world.…

    I was disoriented, with no clues of available careers for my future. I would like to think that several dynamics in my life were characterized by the socioeconomic status of my family of origin. We are the classic example of a middle-class family in northern Italy. Both my parents came from humble families of farmers that shaped their vision of life. In their expectations for my future, economic stability through a permanent job was at the top of their list. Thinking about high levels of education was not even an option in my house; my parents never encouraged me to go to college or to find my vocation. On the contrary, I grow up with the perpetual teaching of being happy with what I had and not being envious of other families’ wealth. By thinking to have limited options, dreams, and ambitions, I ended up choosing a technical institute to become an electrician like my father. The consequences of that choice impact all my 5 years of high school. Lack of motivation and a deeper dissatisfaction stopped me in pursuing high grades and, consequently, considering university. At that time, I really thought I was a bad student. I remember a sense of intellectual inferiority towards other classmates. Unfortunately, I was not aware of my full potential and abilities in other disciplines, like…
