Personal statement
I aspire to promote global trade after graduation by starting a job in related field and learn from experienced industry leaders. I will develop myself along the way and hopefully I can inspire more people to promote international trade together with me. As always, I believe the world will be much better off with free trade among different countries and everyone should be able to enjoy prosperity beyond the limitations of borders. I consider myself a proactive person and I am always looking for ways to challenge myself. I think I was chosen for this meaningful program because of my passion.
Even after joining the program, I constantly try to equip myself with new experiences. For example, I applied to be the scholar coordinator of Hinrich Foundation and I always work in fields beyond my major. I also helped man the international trade show organized by Hinrich Foundation to promote Asian products and interned at a 4A advertising company to strengthen the bond between international companies and consumers to boost trade.
I have strong faith in trade; I believe it is an essential way to better the living conditions of people around the world. Thanks to Hinrich Foundation, I have never been this close to my aspirations. Hinrich Foundation provides me with training to cultivate my skills and opportunities to expand my network. I will keep working to promote global trade and I hope I can inspire more people along the process.
