Exploring the Global Political Economy: Personal Statement

From when I joined college, I have been working hard and towards professional knowledge in International Trade and Economics. In essence, I have been actively taking part in social practice to broaden my horizon and stretch my imaginations beyond the course learning outcomes. From a series of learning sessions, I have since established a desire to understand the global political economy, which continues to experience frequent changes. Although this aspect is interesting, it necessitates one to remain active and motivated to learn new concepts while also remaining relevant to the needs of current market. I have proved to be a successful and quick-learner in almost every subject. Perhaps the most significant circumstances that strongly influenced my final decision on the area I wish to expand my knowledge are my background and previous years of experience in my school years. Moreover, considering that undergraduate knowledge is not enough for application of today's job market, I look forward to scaling and furthering my education to become more relevant in the present workplaces. In addition, my desire is informed by the fact that furthering education will cultivate economic quality and enable me acquire more knowledge that I can apply into practice and advance my future career.

I believe that continuing education will help me handle the global political economics curriculum perfectly. More specifically, after the six semesters of dedicated study, I scored 3.28/4.00, ranking in the top 25%, which I consider an excellent performance in line with my initial goal to excel in the course. In addition, I scored not less than 90 points in History of Economics Theory, International Investment Science, World Economics and Electronic Commerce, which is indicative of my solid professional knowledge in the above mentioned subjects. In particular, the ever-changing world of business requires significant background knowledge in not just international trade but also other related areas where this knowledge can be applicable. With the realization of the influence of technology in today's dynamic workplaces, undergoing constant development and acquiring more knowledge in the business world is ideal to make one a better and more competitive workforce.

My work experience has also helped to cement my knowledge and skills. Working as a journalist in the Press Corps of Teaching Center of Huazhong Agricultural University as an English-Chinese translator for international news has enabled me learn more and interact with different people. My persistence in practicing English listening and speaking every day has been fundamental as well.

I have also engaged in a number of social practices, including taking part in a project held by Enactus - an international non-profit organization bringing together more than 1700 college students and academicians from 37 different countries and business leaders from top 500 enterprises. I managed to take the role of an independent project leader, responsible for establishing cooperation with enterprises and for the team official micro-blog operations as well as the daily maintenance of the WeChat public platform and promotion.
