My father instilled a strong work ethic in me in my childhood, which stemmed from our inauspicious economic situation. Because money was always tight, I had to learn at an early age how to study hard to obtain a good education so that I could earn a decent living and make ends meet. I had to overcome a language barrier while adapting to Chinese cultural mores, which were unknown to me, a native Venezuelan. So I tapped into my greatest talent, which had been nurtured in me since my youth-the ability to conquer whatever rival I might face. Not only was I going to succeed in my studies, but I was also going to excel. In academia, my diligence has helped me to be responsible, improve my grades, and be organized. In aiming to maintain excellent grades, I always remain steadfast in my work, which means that in addition to researching and studying for hours each day, I also take on honor projects. With the knowledge of business I can use my skills to work in a field I love. My skills, attributes, leadership, and experiences should grant me the ability to make a significant impact on the business field.
