CAREER OBJECTIVE(s):
My priority lies in pursuing a degree in Business Administration and Management for the purpose of solving multifaceted business problems in my country. It is my personal interest to develop an innovative approach for solving problems based on concepts of business in relation to the agricultural system of Ethiopia.
I am an enthusiastic student with a keen interest in business and entrepreneurship who lives in Ethiopia. I am motivated because of the real-life challenges people face. I have always been motivated by the ability to drive and sustain communities through effective management as well as transforming society through business strategies. I can state that my interest in business developed while exploring marketing, project management, economics, and leadership.
I have always performed extremely well in mathematics and economics which provides me with an excellent background for studying business at the university level. My specific interests are working on issues related to agri-business development, sustainable entrepreneurship, and organizational leadership.
In addition to their academics, business students need to develop a range of personal and interpersonal skills by engaging in some extracurricular activities, internships, or volunteer work which I have done actively. These activities taught me how to think critically, work in teams, demonstrate leadership, and communicate, which are highly beneficial and equally important in the world of business.
I am eager to further my understanding and contribute towards the creation of new business models by studying Business Administration in a foreign university. Winning this award will allow me to gain the necessary skills and experience to help make a difference in the world of business, both in Ethiopia and globally. I am committed to working diligently, gaining new concepts, and making a contribution to academia.

Reading Business and Leadership Books: I also read books on business strategy, leadership, and personal growth by the greats like Stephen Covey ("The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"), Jim Collins ("Good to Great"), and Simon Sinek ("Start with Why") on a regular basis. I found these books have greatly improved my understanding of effective leadership, innovation, and strategic thinking, which I actually try and apply in my own work. Also they have opened my eyes to building solutions for business - especially in agriculture, which is so interesting to me.
Examining Entrepreneurship Concepts: Regularly investigate entrepreneurial concepts through both research and concept formulation into sustainable business models in the areas of technology and agriculture, actively search for ways to solve problems within society with inspirations from entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Sarah Blakely. I have written several business plans and startup ideas myself which some of which I would like to expand on as a career.
