I am currently a senior in the Kelley School of business at Indiana University, striving for a major in finance and accounting. I strongly value being responsible, being a determined worker, and utilizing organizational skills in work and in life. I established these three strengths when I was a sophomore in high school and created a small dog walking business that I still do to this day. In order to grow my business, I created business cards and got made the effort to get referrals from people who were satisfied with my work. This illustrates how I was organized and responsible in the sense that I made sure that I was honest and clear with all of my clients and potential clients. As well, the fact that I still have people call me to take care of their dogs to this day helps prove how I am a determined worker and people value my work. Moreover, as a freshman, I am still exercising these three strengths in my classes. Responsibility and organizational skills are the main reason that I have had success in my classes so far. These traits have helped me during my business presentations class in the sense that I always give myself enough time to memorize speeches and choreograph my moves. As well, I continue to be a determined worker and I have taken and succeeded in classes that were outside of my comfort zone, such as calculus. In the future I plan on using these three valuable strengths to my advantage in the field of finance. These values will help me provide services to companies and institutions that will change the field of finance for the better.
