Since my teenage days, I have developed a keen interest in the world in which we live. The
fascinating aspects are the way every human being interacts with each other. I have always been
interested in the way people communicate when they buy or sell any products or services.
Economics is one of the critical aspect of our human society that people go to an unimaginable
extent in order to achieve their economic goals. This fascinating phenomenon is the driving
factor in my career choice. My purpose for applying to your university is that it is one among the

I also enjoy the ways theories fit into the reality which helps to understand the issues in close
perspective. I aim to gain knowledge of financial risk and the skill of investment analysis.
Bachelor in economics is a subject that would help in getting insights in regard to financial
decisions and make a career as the same. The bachelor of economics will give me the
opportunity to get the career I want. I aim to be one of the finest financial risk and investment
analysts. Financial risk analysts handle the process of risk management within an organization.
They make the decisions on the basis of appropriate evaluation of the company’s past record and
present market condition. They possess the skills of predicting future events that may negatively
impact the financial stability of an organization. I have always found myself making predictions
of events based on my knowledge and currents affairs. Although it does not come true all the
time, in frequent time it does which gives me immense joy. Therefore, I would like to enhance

my quality. I would love to get a qualification in this discipline and explore the power of human
interaction.
I believe I am a good candidate for the university as I have a consistent history of exceeding in
the areas I am assigned. Good grades, hard works and positive attitudes are some of the qualities
that every good student possesses. However, a good student does not always depend on the three
qualities. I believe there are more than three simple qualities. A good student requires devotion
to their subject and have the crave of knowing their subject. I am a student who likes to practice
what is taught in class. This process not only makes me learn effectively but also let me know
the areas I can have issues while implementing in the practical life. I think I will be a good
student for studying at this university as I hold the desire to master the subject. Also, I have a
history of being a student with excellent time management, conduct and an active participator of
extracurricular activities.
I would like to discuss some of the drawbacks of the schooling years as it would present in my
academic records. There are several places my poor academic record can be seen in my
documents. I have always been an active performer in school which often made me engrossed in
the things I did such as debate, elocution, annual program days. I enjoyed participating in school
events which often resulted in my poor academic performance. This even led me to face a
difficult situation and with failed grades in three subjects as I had fallen ill. I was in my illness
days when I was having my examination. It was a lesson for me that made me realizes the
importance of paying proper attention to my health. Not being careful with my health led me to
more significant problems and resulted in situations that I never assumed. I am determined about
paying full attention in my studies and gaining a distinction in my university. Therefore I would
