THE HOOD SCHOLAR

I have come to a conclusion about my desired major, which will create a synthesis between History (World), Economics (Flow of Money), and Philosophy (How People Think). This will be of ultimate importance in the world of business in the world. Doing business with a person - on the global level - from a different region of the world, would require a deep understanding of a person's history and way of thinking, this may have a strong effect on how receptive, sceptical, or susceptible that person may be when doing business with me, as a brown skinned person or as an American native.

To leave a well-known college with a Bachelors degree in 'The World', 'How People Think', and 'How Value Flows from Person to Person', is important to me. Being able to 'connect the dots' of knowledge, will prepare me to do a dual business / law graduate program. I feel without this well rounded education, a business degree or law degree will be lacking in value, especially considering how many people only view education as a method of getting a job, not as a way of making one's mind stronger, in this now, knowledge-based economy.

My belief in education as a way of enriching every application of knowledge, I have actioned, and will action. Let me provide you with a case study. At a conference I went to, I was able to valuate a commodity, based on understanding the age, the musical choices (culture), and history of conference participants. This combination of knowledge and commonality allowed my friends and I, to create an environment within our hotel room, that was conducive of other conference participates tastes. Allowing my friends and I, the ability to network with other students more effectively. As environment, in business, is used as a way of creating certain thoughts, in certain people, when certain decisions need to be influenced.

Ah, the benefits of education.
