I would like to use my below life events to write this essay. My Info: - I have done architecture as my Undergraduate degree - I would like to apply and peruse Graduate school in Finance - Moved USA from India - My interest in becoming financial/economic strategist started due in 11th and 12th grades math and economic subjects which impressed me to be someone special in this area. Also I would like to increase the awareness that Girls could also make very big difference in technical and engineering degrees by setting myself as example "my dream was to be reserve bank Chairman" - where I come from "the culture" girls would not get preference of study which they like to study, instead they would force study which parents feels cheaper/ less costly. It would have been different if I was a boy in my family. - Although I was not given my choice of interest to study, I was very successful undergrad student who graduated with highest honor - I was constantly keeping track of current economic and financial changes to one day achieve my goal throughout my undergrad - I was successfully able to find a job as financial officer in local financial firm "valuation control group" "worked here for a year" - I got married to my childhood friend and moved to USA; where I was able to find a job in small consulting firm working for a BIG bank "working here since last 9 months" in their investment bank - With not having strong financial background in academics I would have to work much harder than other people in my team - I am extremely good with number - I was able to score 97th percentile in GRE
