Essay IFinance fascinated me because of its increasingly important role in modern management and for its interdisciplinary character, as it encompasses management science, statistics, and accounting. With the overall plan made before college of starting my career in an investment bank or commercial bank, I aim to prepare myself by obtaining fundamental knowledge in both accounting and finance. While accounting provides relevant financial and market data, including financial reports, taxation and risk management, finance operates these data and generates appropriate investment strategies. Having decided to pursue financial management as my career objective, I look forward to sharpen my intellectual caliber, that is, to understand the essence of finance and to develop fundamental management skills. Thus, I chose to study accounting in the university and planned to study Global Finance in graduate school at Fordham University.To make my career plan more manageable as well as more rewarding, I set my short-term goal as to study at a top graduate school and gain transferable knowledge and professional experience. I planned to start my career as a client manager in a commercial bank. Short-term goals may encourage short-term thinking, so meantime I have set a long-term goal for five to ten years, which is gaining experience outside my home country, such as Australia or Korea, where I can learn to deal with different economic, cultural, and political environments — which later would help me evaluate business more comprehensively or start my own company.To achieve these goals, I worked diligently during my undergraduate study at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law to achieve a Bachelor’s degree of Management in Accounting within three years. Finishing my accounting study with immense enthusiasm and diligence resulted in my receipt of the 3rd prize of People's Scholarship for two years. I then qualified as a summer student at Yale University in 2013, where I documented a research essay on Aging China, which contained a market survey on the investment of nursing homes in Beijing. This research was awarded with an outstanding mark, while I established a solid foundation in accounting and acquired the fundamental knowledge in finance.Guided by the insights of my father, who is a successful director in Bank of Communications, I realized that a competitive staff in finance field requires the development of communication proficiency and problem-solving skills. Thus, during my undergraduate study, I actively involved in several student organizations. As the Vice-president of the Volunteer Institution at ZNUEL, I gained substantial leadership skills and teamwork experiences by coordinating events with over 50 to 300 participants, such as the Chinese Football League. Furthermore, I developed my communication and interpersonal skills by hosting numerous important events at my university, such as the welcome party and the graduation ceremony. During the conduct of these various activities, I collaborated with other students to organizecolorful events, interacted with the audience with passion, and sought feedback to further improve our projects. These experiences heightened my confidence and enhanced my determination to utilize my abilities and skills for my future career in marketing.To further enhance my skills in a professional and practical setting, I participated in two internships during my undergraduate study. In spring 2014, I was a portfolio management intern at the Bank of Communications (Henan Branch), during which I was assigned on venture analysis, profit evaluation, and preparing reports on alternative assets. Finally, I developed the skills to accomplish my responsibilities independently. Through this experience, I became accustomed in a fast-paced and demanding environment. Last autumn, I subsequently served as an intern in the Fixed Income Department of HFT Investment Management Company in Shanghai, where I gathered daily macroeconomic information and prepared reports on the Chinese Market for the weekly Asian Telephone Meeting. This experience led to my realization that problem solving requires the courage and innovation to venture on to new approaches or to deliberate necessary corrections. These internships provided me with hands-on experience in credit analysis, client management, and marketing, as well as enhanced my strong interest in finance in particular. Collectively, these professional experiences convinced me that I still require the comprehensive training in finance to establish my career as a client manager in a bank.The MS Program at Fordham University has the ideal environment to nurture my passion and realize my ambition, both for my academic exploration and for my business career development. The curricula are challenging, and I am most interested in the core course Financial Modeling and the five courses of Corporate Finance Track. Furthermore, the open, free, and vibrant academic atmosphere will provide me with a broad platform for development and cooperation among peers and professors with similar interests and related expertise. Given the opportunity for admission, I look forward to utilizing the broad network of the school with professionals, which will allow me to interact with them and gain from their experiences and perspectives.。
