Admission essay excerpt

My mother has always told me that I have a way with people, that I can get out of battle unscathed because of my calm demeanor.  She said that this is my best trait and I took that to heart until I graduated in college and became a full-blown career woman.  I took interest in working with people and eyed a position as part of human resource management.  It also works to my advantage that I’m a great interpreter as a bilingual secretary.  I know, however, that I can take it a step further and enhance my managerial skills with the help of an MBA degree.  I want to update my skills, be able to think out of the box, and learn new strategies to become a more competent leader and an accomplished woman at that.
