Business economics has always been among the objects of my curiosity. I watched the news, mesmerized by the wonders of market flows, business transactions and fluctuations in the economy. Ambitious as I was, the economic boom in the 1990s lured me deep into the companies that suddenly towered in those years. But when these companies fell, a realization dawned on me: economy’s power is just too strong. It shapes minds and affects behaviors of people. It fuels the world as it continues to run in this race, keeping it always active and progressive. This power of the economy drove me to want to know more about its twists and turns. I craved to learn more about business economics at a higher level. And I know that a formal course at _______ University can give me that.

I learned the basics from my first economics class. It became the source of my first economics theory data bank. From those fundamental theories, I got to look at the things on a different light. The technological boom that may have laid the curtains down on the dotcoms is the same phenomenon that connected the world from edge to edge.

Belonging to the humanities domain, economics as a social science is permanently tied with every other aspect of the society in its macro and micro level. An issue tagged as “economic”, could also be tagged as “social”, “political” or “cultural”. And it is basically because of this that my regard for economics goes beyond its being a means of understanding the fiscal world; it is a means of digging the depths of the mechanisms that make up the society.

I know that I am equipped with the basic essentials needed to be able to cope with the lessons in economics. I kept the basic technical skills that I have developed over the years as a student and as a working man in tact. I kept improving on my mathematics and statistics skills, because I know that they would be very handy in studying the world of economics. I also have the advantage of an exposure to the business world. I’ve had first-hand experience of the goings on in an environment that is most most blatantly governed by economics. I’ve seen business at its best and at its worst. I’ve seen the essentials to be able to succeed in this field. Most of all, I have such burning desire to delve deep into the realms of this field, understanding economics, and figuring out how it could affect so much in this world.

Considering all these things, and even those that I have failed to put into words, I know that my future in the world of business economics is clearly directed towards success. It is my passion. And with the high regard and respect that I have for economics, I know that I could utilize whatever knowledge and skills I would have to be able to contribute more into this world.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
