All Around the World

      We all know that in the modern day and age, it’s very important to be wary of the global world and different countries and how they do things. Being enriched in the cultures and learning new things about the way people live is one of the things that is considered lifelong learning, and it’s constantly important to be up to date with the international world. Being globalized has become one of the most important traits in running a large successful company, and the importance of being globalized has become a topic that more companies are focusing on.

                When I think of a successful business, I immediately think of big successful corporations that have broadened themselves and have become known world-wide, which has been one of the major factors in their success. Being able to know the kind of economy another country may have and what factors make businesses more successful in other countries is something that is largely looked at and is one of the most significant traits when wanting to run a million dollar company. To me, I believe that travelling is something that everyone should try to get the experience of and just being able to be enriched by the different cultures of the world. One of the reasons why I really wanted to go into business was because of the way that globalization is a big factor in being successful, and being in communication with different parts of the world is very important. When I travel, I like to get a feel of the country and really try to see things the way they do. I have really only been to 2 different countries and the airports in France and England, so I am hoping that I will get a chance to explore more countries and really get to spend some time there. When an employer hears that the applicant has travelled to all of the these different countries and has really been involved with the international world, it puts them one step ahead over the other applicants, making the travel side of things very important.

Because of the importance of being in constant communication with other people, technology has become so important in businesses because of things like email and Skype which allows for instant communication between people, no matter the time of the day or where they are. It has been easy for companies to get news about other companies through the internet, for example the International Business Times has a webiste (http://ca.ibtimes.com/) which publishes news on international businesses on a constant basis, keeping people all around the world up to date. As well, many companies have taken their businesses online and have allowed for people to purchase their merchandise off of their website from many different countries. This has been beneficial to the companies in many ways, since it gets the companies name out and it allows for a wider range of customers.  Overall, being globalized and having strong communication are two of the most important attributes for a business which is why I hope that in the future I get the chance to be a part of a company that is international, as well as have a role where I have to travel and go to these different parts of the world to gain experience.

Welcome to my Blog!

       Hello, welcome to my blog. I am a grade 12 student at Brantford Collegiate Institute, currently working hard in the last semester of my high school career. I am an academically minded student and have been involved with the Wilfrid Laurier program throughout my four years of high school. This program has allowed me to expand on my collaboration, presentation, and leadership skills, all which enable me to excel to the best of my abilities both in and outside of school. I am a very creative and visual learner, and I often use these creative skills towards any school or work tasks. Other skills I have include listening skills and working well with other people around me. I am someone who tends to get along with many people, and I will find a common interest and expand on that, making sure that I am able to be relatable to everyone I meet in my life. 

     My interest when entering university is business, and I take alot of interest in the different aspects of business, including marketing and accounting. I believe that business should be looked at globally, and I would like to travel different countries as I get older and experience different cultures and the way that different countries work, in order to gain ideas and expand my overall knowledge in every way possible. My main goals are to travel and spend time possibly working in Miami, because I have always admired the city and how busy the city always seems to be. I'd also love to travel to New York City and Los Angeles and spend a lot of time there. I have always loved big cities with with a lot of people, so I am planning on moving to Mississauga when I am done with univeristy and finding a job.

My interests and the direction I want to go into after I am done university always differs, but I have always been interested in being a retail buyer or market analyst for a big fashion or beauty company. I also have always taken a lot of interest in being a part of a fashion magazine like Glamour or Seventeen, and being a part of a busy and upbeat career would be something I would find enjoyable, especially since any of these careers would still incorporate my interest in the fashion industry.

  

      I am always looking to better myself and think about the future, so that I can gain the knowledge and the skills that I need in order to be succssful in the future.This blog will present my interests and aspirations, and will allow for better understanding of my interests and who I am as not only a student, but a person as well.
