Yitong Dong Email and Phone Number

I am currently studying on the International business program at University of Central Lancashire. The reason for me to choose a Business subject as my future career is that I have been under a great influence from my parents who are currently operating a family business in China. Being raised in such a family with a rich atmosphere of business, I got the chance to know and develop my personal interest in business management at a very young age. My father especially wishes me to take over his role in running this hard earned family business in the future.In order to make me into a qualified successor, my parents spared no effort to enrich my personal experience and skills. Thus I signed up for numerous special skill-training programs in various summer camps. I was also send to the United States and spent two years at Foxcroft Academy in Maine. I also joined some local community service program and once worked as a medical assistant in a cosmetic clinic. I strongly value this experience since if forced me to change my mentality from a passive culture absorber into an active person. After two years in America, I have significantly improved my speaking and got know the western culture in a further depth than most of my peers in China. As the world is getting globalized every day, it is crucial for a business leader to be an internationally minded person. I should thank my parents for being able to predict this trend and sending me overseas to gain international trainingI would be able to contribute the campus diversity thanks to my background, both in terms of my origins and the experience I have thus far obtained. I believe that what I can obtain from university can help me learn how to operate my family business in the future, particularly when it comes to international business and trade. I also believe that a lot of my future classmates can benefit from an Asian friend who might work with them to build a bright future.
