Personal Statement – Lawrence Chan
From my past I have always been exposed to Finance.
My grandfather started up a securities trading company before I was born. Although unusual my family would discuss finance with me and this developed my interest so now I look at the wider implication in society finance brings.
When everybody grows up, they must change their mind or some opinion about what they believe. I think I am one of them. Now, I understand that finance is not just a tool to earn money. It is talking about contributing to the better world of tomorrow. I think it is an essential attitude in the real life. Not just a dream. It is the main reason why I want to study Accounting and Finance or Economics. After I studied Economics for a couple of years, I saw that people don't believe in Finance and Economics. They may think that this kind of things can not apply to the real life situation. However, I don't think it is applicable. I think that learning Finance and Economics is necessary to help us to allocate our resource like making decisions for their life. It motivates me to help people become able to make a choice for themselves about their life and money.
I am confident of doing well in Accounting and Finance. Putting aside my family background, I studied The Principles of Accounts. Although HKCE exam is one of the hardest exams in the world, I still got a reasonable grade and I am sure that my knowledge is improving well.
During last year, I worked voluntarily for a pre-preparatory school as an assistant for the teacher. I learnt how to be responsible for my job and co-workers there and become trustworthy. The job also required a high level of communication between the co-workers. Even though English is not my mother tongue, I did improve a lot by communicating with the teachers and chatting with the pre-prep school students. Moreover, I achieved the first class for the essential certificate in word processing techniques from The City and Guilds of
