Education
My name is David Holmes and I am 21 years old. I did O Levels from National Defense School in 2019 and recently appeared in A level from the same prestigious institute. National Defense School is a well-known school for providing its students with a platform that enhances their academic as well as extracurricular abilities. I choose Economics, Business Studies and Accounting in my A-levels and during this time period I developed great interest in the field of business and management. I was part of my school’s student council and organized various events in my capacity. Also, I remained an active member of our school’s sports team. I was the volleyball team captain and vice-captain of our football team and represented my school at various interschool tournaments. My achievements include winning 3 volleyball and 2 football tournaments and being the runner up of various tournaments. Moreover, I also have the experience of organizing the first ever inter school tournament of National Defense School as the Director Security.
Why Bachelor of Commerce
I aspire to be an executive in a thriving Business corporation. In my college days, I use to handle the financial and logistics departments of events and was always commended for handling my duties well. I am interested in learning how businesses and large multinational corporations work and deal with each other to gain knowledge about the workings of the business world. Therefore, Business Studies is my most preferred subject as it can help me enhance my comprehension of the business transactions. I strongly believe that such a course will not only satisfy my need but at the same time develop it and make it better as well. With the appropriate studies I believe that I will be capable of becoming a successful employ and manager and proving to be an asset to whatever corporation I join. This broad subject can also help me in learning to manage people; how to make decisions; how to assess markets and think logically. Business Studies is ranked high for return on investment in the form of higher starting salaries in the marketplace. Positions in finance, accounting and international business have particularly high entry-level salaries in particular.
