Economics

            I believe that students not only learn by being good listeners but also through observation and interaction with the important aspects in their surroundings. However, most students have limited themselves to learning in the classrooms. They neglect the chance of experiencing what is around them. In addition, I consider diverse campus environment to be a learning ground. This is because meeting people of different cultures and backgrounds give me a wider view on the environment. Most of this has improved my knowledge and some have inspired me to do extraordinary things. Therefore, I intend to help the university to promote learning in the Jesuit Catholic tradition. This will enable students to acquire knowledge, skills and values they need to succeed.

I consider myself lucky to study abroad. However, I am disappointed by the fact that learning has become dull. I prefer learning things first hand. Therefore, I intend to help the university in incorporating these learning tactics. Since being in group discussions has always enhanced my learning, I intend to encourage students to interact socially. This will enable them to improve their learning skills through the group discussions. In addition, sharing their experiences and ideas will help in improving the group discussions. This is because of the diverse environment. These diverse environments will enable the students to understand the behaviors and thoughts of people in different situations. The students will also be able to realize the positive influences that benefit the society.

My dream is to help create a better learning environment for the underprivileged. I will be able to fulfill this dream if I get the chance to join the University of San Francisco. Here, I intend to major in economics. I also intend to help the university to enhance its learning in the Jesuits catholic tradition. This tradition appreciates the principles importance. The students’ ability to rationalize is important. The utilitarian approach ascertains that if people are able to rationalize, then they will not be able to solve the ethical cases. However, in order to do this perfectly, they must practice the principles that are applicable in every circumstance. In addition, I will embrace the university’s mission statement by involving myself in the leadership opportunities offered by the student leadership and engagement. I will also practice the core values by taking learning as a humanizing and social activity rather than a competitive act. I hope to be able to help the community since I share similar values as the university. I also intend to be involved in the Jesuit tradition. My personal goals are to learn in order to be able to help the needy.
