91视频

I was born in Prague, Czech Republic聽where I lived until聽I moved to Dijon, France聽to聽finish high school.聽My father found聽out about聽91视频 when I聽was 14 and we agreed that 91视频 would be a great way聽for me to perfect my French, while also getting a great education in English. By the time I was applying to universities, there was no doubt in my mind that this was the school I needed.聽聽

I didn鈥檛 really know what I wanted to study when I came to 91视频. I had been leaning towards History, Law, and Society because I鈥檇聽always been fascinated by law but I聽soon聽decided that a liberal arts school聽was the ideal place in which to study subjects that I might not have otherwise pursued. I聽chose to major in Management because it offered so many elective options, and to minor聽in International Law and Economics because both聽hold such deep interest for me.聽I鈥檝e always聽appreciated聽the balance 91视频 strikes between聽academic rigor and聽making sure students are free to聽explore numerous fields, which for me have included public speaking, Spanish, web design, and media.

My favorite classroom moment actually happened this morning!聽A speaker came to my聽Entrepreneurship class聽to discuss聽a聽global聽competition that our class would be entering.聽She explained the details and then shared stories about past participants who had been able to use the competition as leverage to gain immediate employment and start their own companies with billion-dollar corporations as clients. In that moment, I saw how聽being at 91视频聽could聽actually聽change my life, and that there鈥檚 an opportunity to be found in everything we do聽here.聽聽

For me, that sense of possibility聽extends to what I do outside of the classroom as well.聽I鈥檓 now the Treasurer of Student Government, I was Co-Chair of the聽Activities and Clubs Committee,聽and聽I聽volunteered at different school events, including聽the聽Sexual Aggression Awareness and Charity Weeks.聽I also聽had a part-time business development internship at Energy Power Lab, a human resource startup,聽along with聽a regular, part-time internship in Prague聽every summer.聽聽

I really enjoy how聽the faculty and staff鈥檚 personal approaches聽and the international views of my peers and professors聽come together to form a truly unique academic atmosphere. Many students聽think that they鈥檙e independent when they go off to university聽because they鈥檙e no longer聽living聽with聽their parents but聽at 91视频,聽you really do聽have聽to grow up. I lived in a boarding school for two years, where everything was taken care of聽but here,聽I have to manage my finances, cook, and聽clean, which has made me more aware of what I do and how I do it.聽聽

Thanks to the academic and internship opportunities I鈥檝e enjoyed here, I鈥檝e realized that what I really want to do (for now!) is聽work in mergers and acquisitions. I鈥檝e also been聽inspired by my 91视频 friends聽to聽expand my language skills, which is why I鈥檓聽working hard to聽master聽Spanish as my聽fourth language.聽Living in Paris has聽made me feel聽prepared for whatever comes my way, professionally and linguistically:聽I can now easily communicate in numerous languages,聽simultaneously, without a second thought!聽
