I plan to make a positive impact by working through small businesses. I plan to help small businesses grow and to create jobs. I have a desire to understand how organizations operate and how they can be leveraged to create value not just for shareholders, but for society as a whole. I enjoy communicating with people. There are a lot of things that I can do with a business degree for example. With focus on sustainability, I can advocate for environmentally responsible business practices, helping companies reduce their carbon footprint and promote ethical sourcing. Community development is something else that I would do with a business degree using business skills to support local economies, whether through consulting or by helping small businesses thrive, can strengthen communities and create lasting change. When I was in the 11th grade and I took a business law class, I began to realize how interested I was and that I wanted to know more. I was really dedicated to that class and it was one of the first classes I desired to take seriously. That's when I knew how much I was interested in business. I also joined a program called Young Life and as of right now I have to communicate and fundraise with people in order to pay for a trip this summer. At first, I was scared but I realized that if I wanted to be in the business field, talking, communicating, networking, and marketing myself would be something that I would have to do. Doing the fundraiser amplified my love for business. Now I am very sure that majoring in business is something that I would love to do. The dynamic nature of business, combined with the potential to innovate and drive change, makes it an exciting field to be a part of. The blend of creativity, strategy, and impact aligns well with my vision of how I can contribute positively to the world. I still don’t know what type of business I want to do in the future, but I am excited to take classes in a variety of areas like marketing, sales, accounting, and finance to see what area my skills and interests might align with. I know that business is something that I would dedicate my time and energy into. I am very excited for college and to learn about the business field and I know that I can make a more positive impact in the world just with business.
